HP is announcing an updated lineup of notebooks at CES that includes new EliteBooks, a new Ryzen AI-powered ZBook workstation, and a fresh 16-inch Omen Max gaming laptop that can spin its fan in reverse to help clear out dust from its vents.
The Omen Max 16 could surely benefit from a cooling system that doesn’t get mucked up too quickly, considering it will come with next-gen Nvidia...
It’s like an extraterrestrial light show.
Alienware is bringing back its Area-51 computer line, and its new flagship laptops are much showier than the secretive air base they’re named after. The bombastic, UFO-like Area-51 laptops are paired with a range of top-flight specs featuring Intel Arrow Lake CPUs and next-gen Nvidia GPUs — coming in two sizes: big (16-inch) and bigger (18-inch). They’ll start at a pricey $3,199 when select configurations launch by the end of Q1 2025,...
There’s a part of me that wants to casually stroll into a cafe with this thing and act totally normal.
Lots of gaming laptops go for maximum performance with maximum RGB showiness, but nothing goes harder than MSI’s Titan. The company announced its Titan 18 HX laptop at CES 2025. It’s an 18-inch behemoth with an illuminated touchpad, Intel’s Core Arrow Lake processor, and Nvidia’s new RTX 50-series GPU for a starting price of around $5,000.
But is that really outrageous...

Nvidia’s launch of its new RTX 50-series graphics cards is a big moment for a gaming-focused company like MSI. The PC component maker is refreshing most of its laptop line with new Nvidia GPUs, revised designs, and of course, plenty of AI branding fluff. It’s also offering more CPU options from AMD across its dizzying array of models and configurations. But while there’s a plethora of choices here for gamers, they’re best if you’re partial to jumbo-sized laptops,...

HP is jumping into the smart monitor space with the Omen 32x, a gaming monitor that doubles as a streaming device running Google TV. It’ll ship this April for $749.99, the company announced at CES 2025.
The HP Omen 32x Smart Gaming Monitor has a 31.5-inch 4K IPS display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, 400 nit peak brightness, and DisplayHDR 400 with Dolby Vision. The panel covers 95 percent of the Display P3 and 99 percent of the...

Inworld AI, Streamlabs, and Nvidia are partnering on a new AI assistant for streamers that can provide technical support for streams in real time and even act as a quippy cohost.
As a cohost, the “Intelligent Streaming Assistant” can understand what’s happening in games like Fortnite and offer “contextually relevant commentary,” according to a press release. “This awareness enables the assistant to do things like highlight a...

Alienware is joining Asus, Samsung, and MSI in making a silly “world’s first” claim — all four of them are now set to launch a genuinely exciting new wave of 27-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitors with an excellent 240Hz refresh rate. Remember when I called Alienware’s 32-inch version the best monitor of CES last year because it finally offered the best of all worlds? Now, you’ll be able to buy a smaller 27-inch version, without a curved screen, in a far more...

Alienware has built some of the easiest-to-open toolless gaming PCs around — but for years, the Dell-owned brand has stifled their upgrade potential by limiting them to Dell’s own proprietary power supplies and motherboards.
But the 2025 Alienware Area-51, an 80-liter tower just introduced at CES in Las Vegas, finally ditches the proprietary parts in favor of standard ATX components.
Even though the...
The 2025 Razer Blade 16.
Razer announced it’s overhauling the Razer Blade 16 inside and out. In addition to a new CPU and GPU, the Blade 16 is now thinner overall than the outgoing 2024 model and comes with a few tweaks to its audio system and keyboard.
The new Blade 16 comes with up to a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and a “next-gen Nvidia GPU.” The company also bumped its speaker array from four to six speakers, while the display carries over the 240Hz OLED introduced to the line...

Acer has spec bumps and display upgrades for its top-of-the-line Predator Helios 18 and 16 gaming laptops coming later this year.
Announced at CES, the Predator Helios 18 AI gaming laptop now sports a dual-mode Mini LED display that can switch between 4K with a 120Hz refresh rate or 240Hz when running at 1080p. That maximum refresh rate is actually a smidge slower than its 250Hz WQXGA Mini LED (2560 x 1600) predecessor, but that might be worth it for folks who want to...
Samsung is set to reveal its new Galaxy S phone series in two weeks, with the company announcing that it will host its next Unpacked event on Jan. 22.
The follow up to Samsung's current Galaxy S24 model, the Galaxy S25 range is expected to be revealed in the showcase staged in San Jose, along with other gadgets, wearables, and more. The date for Samsung's Unpacked event had previously leaked, but the company officially confirmed it with a brief yet undeniably jazzy teaser on Monday (which...

The Amazfit Active 2 may only be $100–$130, but it’s a good-lookin’ budget watch.
Amazfit may not be a household name, but it’s been crushing it in the budget smartwatch space for a long time. And at CES 2025, the company is trying to outdo itself with the $99 Amazfit Active 2.
I was a big fan of the company’s GTR 4 watch — it wasn’t a looker, but it packed in an incredible amount of value for $200. I liked it so much that it’s sat comfortably as the top overall pick...
The Last of Us will return to HBO and Max this April. Series creative director, Neil Druckmann, announced the premiere of the show’s second season onstage at CES this evening alongside a short teaser for the new season. A specific premiere date wasn’t given.
The show’s first season wrapped up in March 2023, so it’ll be more than two years between seasons by the time the new one debuts. The Last of Us’ first season was very well-received — particularly for a video game...

During its CES 2025 keynote, PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash and Screen Gems president Ashley Brucks explained how Sony plans to keep expanding its IP after adaptations of The Last of Us, Gran Turismo, Twisted Metal, and Uncharted.
They announced that Sony Pictures is working on a film adaptation of last year’s hit Helldivers 2, while Columbia Pictures and PlayStation Productions are in “early stages” of developing a Horizon Zero Dawn...
