8BitDo is releasing an evolved version of its Ultimate 3 controller this summer, and it’s aimed squarely at the high-end gamepad market—meet the 8BitDo Ultimate 3E. The Ultimate 3E builds upon the foundation of the Ultimate 3 with two additional bumpers, swappable D-Pad, and even swappable face buttons. Like Ultimate 3, Ultimate 3E also has

Micron’s out at the Consumer Electronics Show shouting, ‘You get a Gen5 SSD, you get Gen5 SSD, you get a Gen5 SSD!’. Okay, maybe not quite literally, but it did use the annual tech showcase as a launchpad for its new Micron 3610 NVMe solid state drive family, which it’s billing as the industry’s first PCIe Gen5 Q9 QLC SSDs for client computing.

Windows users will need to be a bit more cautious, as researchers at security firm Securonix have uncovered a new ClickFix malware campaign, dubbed PHALT#BLYX, targeting Microsoft’s operating system. The threat actors behind this campaign are leveraging several techniques to install malicious software, including displaying a fake blue screen

There’s a whole lot of uncertainty in the consumer DRAM and storage space with AI pushing demand for NAND flash memory chips to unprecedented levels, but one thing is for certain—the accompanying parts are in place for whenever the market settles down. Driving that point home is Phison’s new PS5037-E37T controller designed to give mainstream

As tech enthusiasts gather at CES 2026, a groundbreaking but brief (more on that in a quick second) showcase from Samsung Display has likely revealed the future of Apple’s most anticipated hardware: the iPhone Fold.

A team of astronomers have uncovered an unusually hot 12 billion year-old gas cluster that challenges everything we thought we knew about the early growth of the universe.

Peering back to about 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, an international group of researchers has identified a baby galaxy cluster, cataloged as SPT2349-56, that’s

It took a minute, but NVIDIA has finally answered the call to deliver a native Linux app for its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service (timely too, with recent Steam’s survey data showing Linux on the rise for gaming). Same goes for select Amazon Fire TV Stick devices, both of which can tap into the service’s GeForce RTX 5080-class pods to stream

In a world where you usually have to choose between ignoring your friends with noise-canceling earmuffs or annoying them with a portable boombox, a new gadget has arrived at CES 2026 to ensure you can do both with a single flick of the wrist.

The TDM Neo has officially been unveiled and it’s determined to solve a problem that exactly three

We already reported on the serious slick ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses yesterday, but ASUS didn’t come to CES 2026 with just one big reveal. The company’s Republic of Gamers brand rolled out updated Zephyrus laptops with more GPU headroom, a bold new take on the dual-screen Zephyrus Duo, a Kojima Productions–themed Flow Z13 that looks like a

Samsung is making quick work of deploying Intel’s newly launched Core Ultra Series 3 processors, otherwise known as Panther Lake, which underpin its latest generation Galaxy Book6 laptop lineup. Announced at CES, the new Galaxy Book6 laptops draw inevitable design language comparisons Apple’s MacBook Pro, though internally, these are very

PNY put the GeForce RTX 50 series on a diet with a new lineup of slim models designed for small form factor (SFF) gaming PCs, or anyone who simply wants a more compact GPU. The new cards span the GeForce RTX 5070, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and GeForce RTX 5080, each of which are packaged in a dual-slot configuration.

These are true 2-slot cards,

If the mission is to go big or go home, someone tell Dell not to stay up waiting. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas Dell unveiled a big and bold 52-inch ultrawide display with a curved IPS Black panel, 6K resolution, and built in Thunderbolt hub. Yeah, it’s like that.

For the intended audience—financial traders, data scientists,

NVIDIA’s consumer graphics presentation at CES 2025 was more interesting than many, although we’ll spoil the surprise up-front: there wasn’t any new hardware. If you’re holding onto hype about new GeForce GPUs, well, you might as well return to hibernation. Or keep playing ARC Raiders, or Chaos Zero Nightmare, or Helldivers 2, or Warframe,

Dell’s Alienware brand is here at CES 2026, and the biggest highlight is in Alienware’s upcoming laptops. Alienware’s revived classic Area-51 brand is still going strong, including an updated Area-51 desktop with potent AMD Ryzen X3D CPUs, but most of the focus is clearly going into the Alienware laptop lineup. Coming up, we’ll be discussing

HP brought the latest and greatest of its product lineup to CES 2026, including what the company views as a new way forward in the all-in-one PC category that will pair nicely with the new HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor. The HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC is a design that packs all its components within the frame of a full-sized keyboard, which

Last year’s CES reveal from AMD was pretty cool. We got the Ryzen 9 9950X3D as well as the official launch of AMD’s Ryzen AI Max 300 series—the “Strix Halo” family of super-APUs. AMD is heading up CES again this year, with Dr. Lisa Su delivering the opening keynote for the show. AMD’s disclosures this year are a little thinner, though.

That’s

HP has unveiled its latest flagship, the improved Series 7 Pro 32-inch 4K Monitor (732xk), at CES 2026. Like the previous generation, the display is targeted towards creative professionals and content creators, but has been refined with Neo:LED display tech, advanced visual design, and robust I/O, just to name a few upgrades.

The centerpiece

As promised, Intel has launched the Core Ultra Series 3 processors at CES 2026. These are the long-awaited “Panther Lake” chips, and if Intel’s claims hold up under our own testing, they look incredibly impressive. Intel made some very big promises at the show: 24% improved multi-threaded performance versus its own Arrow Lake processors (despite

Acer is taking advantage of Intel’s new Panther Lake processor lineup by injecting the chip maker’s latest silicon into refreshed Predator Helios and Nitro V gaming laptops. Paired with NVIDIA’s mobile GeForce RTX 50 series discrete GPUs based on Blackwell, these retooled laptops offers some potent specs for high-end gaming on the game.

After a yearlong hiatus, Dell’s XPS brand is back! Dell announced the return of the iconic brand at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES), the same event where it was officially retired last year in an effort to streamline Dell’s various product categories. We had a chance to go hands-on with new XPS laptops coming out this year (more on that
