This 15.6-inch gaming laptop is currently discounted to $649.99 on Amazon, down from its $799.99 list price. That’s $150 in savings for a well-rounded gaming machine equipped with Nvidia’s RTX 4050 GPU—a rare sight at this price point.

The global PC market has rebounded strongly in the second quarter of 2025, with PC shipments climbing 6.5 percent year-over-year to 68.4 million units, according to preliminary numbers released by IDC. However, while the rest of the world is embracing new devices, the U.S. market has hit a wall, posting 0 percent growth for the quarter. The slowdown in the United States appears to be directly tied to a mix of overproduction earlier in the year and the uncertain future of import tariffs. U.S. vendors reportedly ramped up production early in 2025 to get ahead of potential tariff increases, but…

According to Windows Latest, the feature—currently known as “Dynamic Wallpaper”—was discovered in recent Windows Insider preview builds, though it hasn’t been activated yet. While specific details are limited, its description hints at a more personalized, possibly AI-enhanced desktop environment. At its core, Dynamic Wallpaper may allow users to choose a general category or theme, with Windows then automatically adjusting the desktop background throughout the day. For example, the wallpaper might transition from sunrise to sunset, reflect local weather conditions,…
If you’ve been on the fence about picking up a smart speaker, Amazon’s Prime Day discount on the Echo Pop might be all the push you need. This mini Echo device is now just $21.99, slashing 45% off its usual $39.99 price. That’s already a great deal, but what makes the Echo Pop a standout among the Echo lineup is the hidden bonus: it also doubles as an Eero Wi-Fi range extender. Yes, the Echo Pop may look unassuming with its compact build and modest audio performance, but it still brings the full Alexa experience. That means you can manage…

If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to refresh your power station, this is it. The appeal of the Nano is in its intelligent, space-saving design. Anker ditches the traditional strip shape for a more modern, square base that fits neatly on your desk or nightstand. Despite the compact size, it still manages to pack two AC outlets on top, plus four…
