However, it takes some work to get the best sound out of these cans, which might turn some people off, and this headset is built only for PC, PS5 and Nintendo Switch, so Xbox fans are out of luck. Despite these quirks, the SteelSeries Arctis 9 delivers stunning sound quality (after some tinkering), making it one of the best gaming headsets around.

They possess an all-black matte exterior with a dark gray SteelSeries logo plastered at the bottom half of the mouse....

For a limited time, Dell is offering its Inspiron 15 7000 for just $849.99. That’s $200 off and one of the best deals we’ve seen for this laptop.

“That’s because of the way people consume it, and the price point for owning a title, which is very reasonable and very low, actually, on a per-hour basis,” Zelnick said. “So I think it’s unlikely that subscriptions supplant frontline videogame sales as the primary business model.” This is coming from a company that not only put forced advertisements in NBA 2K21, but also made games like Grand Theft Auto Online so inaccessible that you need to spend real cash in order to get anything without wasting an obscene amount of time....

Buy on Dell For bargain hunters that means one thing — better deals on Dell’s current fleet of XPS laptops. Since Intel unveiled its new CPUs, we’ve noticed an uptick in XPS deals and this week Dell is slashing prices again with a set of coupons that discount both the entry-level and high-end XPS laptops.

The co-creator of Terraria, Andrew Spinks, tweeted (opens in new tab) about the issue, explaining that he lost access to all of his Google accounts (Google Play, Google Drive, YouTube and Gmail). Spinks has attempted to recover these, but to no avail, as Google has apparently “given [him] the runaround.” See the best PC games and best Xbox Game Pass PC games to play nowCheck out the Xbox Series X games and PS5 games confirmed so farSee our reviews of the Xbox Series X and PS5...

When we ran Geekbench 4, a synthetic test that measures overall performance, on a Swift 3 with an 8th Gen Core i5-8250U CPU, the laptop scored an impressive 12,755, which is 5,513 points or 76 percent higher than a Swift 3 with a Core i5-7200U CPU that we tested in July . Both the versions of the Swift 3 had 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Aside from the CPU, the only difference between the two laptops was that the 7th Gen Core model had a 14-inch screen and the 8th Gen system had a 15-inch display (both screens were 1080p)....

Microsoft’s been working to make its Mixed Reality (MR) tech a whole lot more feasible for consumers, and that may be what the Fall Creators Update becomes famous for. I say may because we haven’t been able to test it out with any MR headsets at Laptop HQ yet, only see it in demos at events. We did get to play with Mixed Reality Viewer, a new way to drop objects into your reality, which showed solid surface detection....

No, the Swift 5 didn’t totally obliterate the MacBook Air. Although the 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor inside the Acer laptop edged out the M2’s capabilities, Apple’s chip has one killer 10-core GPU that makes casual, lightweight gaming more seamless on the MacBook Air. And yes, the M2 is a more power-efficient chip, allowing the MacBook Air to last more than 14 hours (compared to the Swift 5’s 11 hours)....

The UX550 is just 0.74 inches thin and weighs a mere 3.97 pounds, which is a bit thicker but the same weight as the MacBook Pro. Asus’s laptop uses its added girth to include a full suite of ports, including HDMI-out, two USB 3.0 connections and two Thunderbolt 3 ports. Apple users get stuck with four Thunderbolt 3 ports only. Like several other recent Asus laptops, the ZenBook Pro UX550 uses the company’s NanoEdge bezels to give it a very high screen-to-body ratio....

Acer offers an impressive selection of laptops, from lightweight Chromebooks to beefy, creator-class laptops.

Intel earned a bit of a reprieve with the 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs and the company’s 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs are performing well, but AMD’s multi-year advantage on 7-nanometer chips will continue to make things difficult for Intel. With some high-end gaming laptops with up to RTX 3080 GPUs now sporting AMD processors as well, regardless of which category of laptop you are looking for there is an AMD Ryzen laptop that will have you covered....

Go ahead and google “laptop backpacks” and you’ll find a truckload of cheap polyester stitched bags to house your laptop on the go. Sadly, the market is awash with fake brands and astroturfed ratings, which makes finding something that you can be sure won’t fall apart faster than Kardashian wedding vows far harder than you’d expect. While a few familiar names will leap out from the crowd, there are reasons that tech giants like MSI and Dell are more known for their hardware prowess than their textile talents....

Whether you’re developing software, mobile apps, games, or for the web, the right laptop can do one thing above all — maximize your productivity. We’ve compiled a selection of machines to help you achieve just that: maximum productivity for the task at hand.

While a few scuffs or scratches aren’t the end of the world, it would be a shame to tarnish the slick frame of some of Apple’s most aesthetically pleasing (and of course expensive) laptops. Even the most basic case can protect your 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 or MacBook Pro 14 from surface-level damage, and many are available for a price that won’t break the bank. However, if you’re willing to pay a little extra, hardshell and rugged cases can protect your device against shock damage, dust particulates, and even water or heat exposure....

The similarities between MSI’s dragon shield logo and that of supercar manufacturers Lamborghini and Ferrari are likely no coincidence. MSI laptops are known for their impressively powerful components and fantastic performance. With the arrival of Intel’s new 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, we expect the level of power and performance in MSI laptops to do nothing but increase. Buying any laptop can quickly become an overwhelming experience. Thanks to MSI’s often confusing naming conventions, this task isn’t made any easier....

Games like Ghost of Tsushima, NBA 2K22 and The Last of Us 2 all have install sizes that are creeping towards triple digits in gigabytes. What’s more, that’s becoming the norm. As this console generation continues, expect games to swell even further, and this results in your 667GB of storage being rapidly consumed by just a fraction of your game library. Fortunately, expanding your PS5 storage is quick and easy, and with Sony currently allowing up to 4TB of additional storage to be fitted into the console, you can keep the majority of your digital and disc-based games installed without much hassle....
