Choosing a PC is a big undertaking. There’s a lot to take in and consider before you hit that buy button. We’ve already checked out the best desktop computers, the best all-in-one computers, and the best gaming desktops, but we’ve also got some great general advice for things to look for before making your purchase.
The first place to start is to consider is what your budget is. It’s possible to spend only a few hundred bucks or to spend thousands of dollars. You really need to hone in on that budget so you get the best bang for your buck.
It’s also important to think about how you plan on using your PC. As our guides explain above, there are lots of different reasons why you might want a PC. You may just want a general desktop PC which is where a Dell setup is usually a good bet, but you might also want a gaming PC which is where brands like Alienware and Asus are great options. Alternatively, you may have limited space and need an all-in-one unit so that the PC is built within the monitor. Don’t be tempted to buy something that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, simply because it was offered at a good price.
When buying a PC, look out for accessories. Some sale items will bundle in accessories like keyboards and mice but not all retailers will. When budgeting, plan ahead and don’t end up overspending if you can’t afford to. Shop around for the best offers here, too.
Remember — there’s no one size fits all solution when it comes to buying the right PC for you.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
