Every serious gamer knows a mechanical keyboard is the way to go. The tactile feel they provide can’t be beat, and the wide variety of switch and key-cap options means every gamer can find the perfect peripheral. The only problem is the price.
Thankfully, iBuyPower and Digital Trends have teamed up to help our readers. We’re giving away one iBuyPower MEK mechanical gaming keyboard. It features 21-key rollover, a polling rate of 100Hz, and red LED backlighting with five levels of adjustment. There’s even on-board memory with room for up to six custom profiles, which means you can take your game macros with you.

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple.

However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
