The Microsoft Store app suffers from two major flaws: it doesn’t have as many apps as users would like, and what apps there are suffer from a plague of infrequently updated lookalikes. Microsoft seems intent on solving the first problem by making the second potentially worse.

For a certain type of gamer, there’s no such thing as too fast. Whether it’s CPU clocks, frames per second, or refresh rates (so you can see those frames per second), that number always has to go up. We’ve seen high-end gaming monitors go from 120 and 144 hertz, to roughly double and triple that in the last year, with the fastest monitors on the market now hitting 360Hz. Soon it’ll be bumped up again, according to Nvidia, to a literal eye-watering 500Hz.

While nothing beats a full-featured PDF editor like Adobe’s Acrobat Pro DC, sometimes you don’t need all the bells and whistles. When you just have to edit a few lines of text, add or reposition an image, or make some review notes, a free PDF editor may be the way to go.

It’s rare to see a gaming peripheral company take the plunge and make its own in-house laptop design. But it just got a little less rare, as Corsair has announced its very first notebook. The Corsair Voyager a1600 is an impressive bit of hardware with a price tag to match, but unfortunately it has no official launch date at the time of writing.
The Voyager’s 16-inch screen and .78-inch (19.9mm) thickness place it firmly on the larger side of the gaming laptop market, even befor
