Area-51 was one of the first gaming PCs I coveted in the late 90s, and it's making a return with the latest performance hardware from Intel and NVIDIA. But a couple of design choices leave me scratching my head.

Dreame is making a splash at CES this year with a new pool cleaner that’s smart enough to gauge the shape of your pool before it dives in for a cleaning, along with a robot vacuum with retractable, obstacle-climbing legs.
Slated to ship in March, the Z1 Pro robotic pool cleaner boasts Dreame’s PoolSense technology, which intelligently recognizes pool shapes
It’s official: Nvidia’s next generation of gaming graphics is here, and friends, the GeForce RTX 50-series looks pretty compellingly priced on paper. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced eight different GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards during his CES 2025 keynote – four for desktop, and four for laptops, all compatible with a new DLSS 4 generation.
Today at CES 2025, Razer announced their latest Blade 16 gaming laptop, which is thinner, more robust, and more powerful than previous models.
That’s not to say the 2024 model of the Blade 16 was a slouch in the performance department, but it could’ve done with a better keybo
Today at CES 2025, Dell announced that they’re bringing back the iconic Alienware Area-51 gaming laptops, which were known for their desktop-level CPUs and easy access for upgrades.

The Alienware AW2725Q launches in March, priced at $899.99
Dell’s new high-end Alienware Area 51 laptops sport a color-shifting teal exterior with lots of RGB, and a glass window on the bottom. A new Area 51 desktop also supports top-end specs, more standard components, and an aim at simplifying future upgrades.
The Acer Predator X323QX combines a colorful 5K IPS panel with G-Sync Pulsar tech.
HP is updating its Omen gaming lineup with two 16-inch laptops, a compact 16L desktop, and a lower-end Victus that now comes in three colors, including pink.

HP’s Omen 32x is its first gaming monitor to support Google TV, and its on-screen input-sharing options could be game-changing.
Asus’ full line of new mobile gaming rigs ranges from Strix Scars at the top end to the lightweight Zephyrus G14 and G16.
The Samsung CES 2025 press conference is s
Sony's CES 2025 press conference was huge on the entertainment front if you're a PlayStation fan. In a series of rapid-fire announcements, the company announced it was making an anime based on Ghost of Tsushima Legends, the cooperative multiplayer mode from the acclaimed game. It then followed that up with news that Columbia Pictures was in the early stages of developing a movie based on the post-apocalyptic PlayStation game Horizon Zero Dawn. Finally, Neil Druckman
At CES 2025 renowned keyboard company Cherry revealed its latest gaming and office keyboards. Cherry keyboards are well-liked by enthusiasts, but the company seems to be aiming some of the new models at more casual users.
Let’s start with the gaming keyboards, of which there are two. The more noteworthy one is the XTRFY MX 8.3 TKL, which can reach 8000Hz and 4000Hz polling rates while wired and wireless, respectively. It also has a display that shows battery levels and even your typing
Anker announced a new wall charger at CES 2025 and this 140W model includes a nifty display for keeping track of various metrics. These data points include power usage per port, temperature and whether or not fast charging has been activated. The company has been popping displays on its larger chargers for a while now, but this is the first screen we’ve seen on something this small.
The screen even displays something Anker is calling an odometer, which measures lifetime usage in hours.
Anker has a major presence at CES 2025, as the company has revealed a whole bunch of wild and wacky products. One such item is a newly-announced solar electric cooler, which is basically like a portable refrigerator/freezer combo.
The Anker Solix EverFrost cooler is available in three sizes, from 23L to 58L, and uses air-cooled refrigeration technology for “faster and precise cooling.” To that end, Anker promises that these units cool more than 20 percent faster than rival products an
Anker's empire is vast, spanning everything from cheap batteries to 3D printers, but more importantly, it's varied. Case in point, the company is introducing the Anker Solix Solar Beach Umbrella at CES 2025, a flexible, freesta
CES is known for putting the spotlight on wacky innovations and Eufy came prepared for this year’s event.

Some robovacs
At CES 2025, Anker has a pair of new speakers under its Soundcore brand. The first, the Soundcore Rave 3S, is a $349 party speaker with AI-powered karaoke tricks and built-in light shows. Joining it is the SoundCore Boom 2 Pro, a more powerful follow-up to its non-Pro namesake, which adds bo
On the same day NVIDIA briefly became the most valuable company in the world, CEO Jensen Huang took to the CES 2025 stage to announce the company's new, long-awaited Blackwell family of graphic cards. The first salvo of RTX 50 series GPU will arrive in January, with pricing starting at $549 for the RTX 5070 and topping out at an eye-watering
Alienware has just announced the Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor at CES 2025. According to the company, the monitor has the highest pixel density for an OLED or QD-OLED (more on this in a minute) monitor at 166 pixels per inch (PPI). But that’s not all it offers.
The monitor has Dolby Vision HDR and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification for even better image quality. The 0.03ms response time is perfect for competitive gamers who value extreme speed, and the 240Hz refresh
Acer just announced a trio of new Predator gaming laptops at CES 2025 that are packed with high-end specs. They arrive with different price points and feature sets, but all of them include NVIDIA RTX-50 series GPUs.
The baddest of the bunch is the Predator Helios 18 AI. As indicated by the name, this laptop features an impressive 18-inch 4K Mini LED display. The refresh rate can typically go up to 120Hz, but a new dual-mode display feature lets users switch to FHD resolution at 240Hz.
The Alienware Area-51 desktop PC, a line of high-end gaming rigs dating back to 1998, has returned after several years out of the game. The company announced the new model at CES 2025, describing the resurrected Area-51 as “retaking the throne” as Alienware’s latest flagship gaming PC. But royalty
HP only has one all-new laptop in its Omen gaming line to show off at CES 2025, but it looks like a doozy because the company claims it’s the most powerful 16-inch notebook it has ever made.
The Omen Max 16 looks like HP took a standard Omen 16 (which is retaining the same design but getting refreshed with new components for 2025) and then crammed in as many high-end components as it could. This includes support for CPUs from both Intel and AMD with up to a Core Ultra 9 275HX or Ryzen
While parent company Dell is doing a big rebrand of its entire PC portfolio, at CES 2025 Alienware is sort of returning to its roots by bringing back the classic Area-51 name back for its new flagship laptop line.
Available in 16- and 18-inch versions, the resurrected Area-51 gaming notebooks feature what Alienware is calling a brand-new industrial design. Though if you look closely, you can see some similarities to existing systems like the
At CES 2025, MSI is launching a huge lineup of upgraded laptops with various specs that cater to an array of budgets. But of everything, one system stood out and if you take even a quick look at it, I think you can see why.
As part of MSI’s Titan Series, not only is the Titan 18 HX the biggest and most powerful system the company makes. However, the special Dragon Edition features a ton of unique design traits that ensure it will never get lost in a crowd. On its lid is a hand-drawn cl
There's so much AI-powered nonsense at CES that it's kind of refreshing to see a very straightforward, classic gadget like the Swippitt. It's a breadbox-sized hub that contains five battery packs that can fit into a a custom-made iPhone case. When the battery is in the case, it works like similar product, keeping your phone juiced up. The trick is that when the battery is empty, you pop your phone into the top of the box and it automatically removes the battery from the case and drops in a fr
