The MSI Raider GE77 is the kind of laptop that would have found a happy home in the previous decade, when gaming portables were huge, hulking beasts with bold designs and desktop-style components.

What are pixels? The display on your screen is made of them, but are they real estate? In 2005, Alex Tew thought they were, and became a millionaire.

The Core i5-13600K is the most affordable model in Intel's new Raptor Lake range. Its predecessor, the 12600K was a personal favorite of ours, so we are expecting this to be a real winner.

If you are buying a new iPad, you may find there are many more options than before. The iPad Pros differ in more than size, the Air and Mini are around, and there's two generations of standard iPads.

Every few years new processors with ever-higher demands for energy are launched. Is 250W for a CPU too high? Should any GPU need 450W? Let's peel off the heatsinks to look at the truth behind power numbers.

The Core i7-13700K is a much more practical CPU compared to the 13900K, power and thermals are kept in check, and performance is pretty solid. We'd seriously consider it for new gaming PC builds.

Modern PCs have CPUs that can handle anywhere from 4 to 32 threads simultaneously thanks to developments in chip design and manufacturing. But what exactly are threads and why are they so important?

#ThrowBackThursday What does a cattle ranch have in common with computers? Admittedly not much, but that didn't stop two college dropouts from capitalizing on the concept and reshape PC purchases in the 1990s.

Hot of the heels of AMD's Zen 4 series launch, here comes Intel with their highly anticipated 13th-gen Core series, codenamed Raptor Lake. Today we're reviewing the top-of-the-line Core i9-13900K.

It's time for another look at graphics card pricing and this month it's particularly exciting as we enter a new generation of GPU hardware. So what impact has that had on other GPUs?

The LG Gram 16 is an incredible light device with a good screen and impressive battery life. This latest iteration refines the successful Gram formula with nips, tucks and more power.

As next-gen GPUs arrive and pricing returns to sane levels, we are left with "new" mainstream priced graphics cards. Here's a big comparison between the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and the Radeon RX 6800.

Nvidia is making some pretty bold claims around DLSS 3, like the ability to 3x-4x performance with RTX 40 GPUs. Let's explore this new technology and see if it's a true next-gen selling point.

This is our first look at Nvidia's new flagship GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. We'll find out all you need to know about this next-gen GPU, most importantly its gaming performance.

Millions use Excel to handle all kinds of office and productivity tasks, so here are some of the top 10 shortcuts, tips, and hacks that will help you on your way to becoming an Excel pro.

A big point of contention with Zen 4 CPUs is that they run very hot. AMD says it's all by design, but how about we throw a basic air cooler to see if the 7600X throttles when under load?

The Arc A770 and A750 genuinely impressed us on numerous occasions and there's true potential for Intel to become a third contender in the GPU space. It's just not going to happen with Alchemist.

The Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 4 processor priced to compete with the Core i9-12900K. With that many cores, is it only a productivity monster or can it also compete with the best in gaming?

With CPUs and GPUs continuing to get more powerful with each new generation, the push for ever more realistic graphics in blockbuster games shows no signs of slowing down. Today's best-looking titles already look stunning, so how much better can they possibly get? Join us as we take a look at what awaits us in the future of 3D graphics.

The Ryzen 7 7700X is arguably the most interesting Zen 4 CPU for PC gaming: it's an 8-core, 16-thread chip using a single CCD, which should mean it's going to deliver the best performance.

Zeroes and ones were promised to be the future, a digital media has taken over, but in some situations customers are returning to analog experiences in search of something more tangible.

The Ryzen 9 7950X is the new performance king and the jack of all trades, apart from maybe power consumption and pricing, of course. The Zen 4 flagship can do everything exceptionally well.

The new Ryzen 5 7600X is a 6-core/12-thread CPU that replaces the popular 5600X, built on TSMC's 5nm process, it clocks up to 5.3 GHz, packs 32MB L3 cache, DDR5 support, and a 105W TDP.

Let's talk GPU prices and this month's update is very interesting because of two key factors: the first, Nvidia just launched new GeForce 40 series graphics cards; and second, GPU mining is now dead.

Gaming monitors at 1440p remain the sweet spot for many PC gamers who don't want to spend a ton of money to play at high refresh rates. With recent price drops, it's actually become an affordable segment with plenty of great options to choose from.
