We’ve come again to the end of another year, and another twelve months of some pretty impressive tech. We saw Apple release the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors. Phison released a new PCIe controller enabling ridiculously fast SSDs like the Corsair MP600 Pro XT, and Intel finally struck back against AMD’s surging Ryzen processors.
But amid all the highlights, 2021 also gave us some sad goodbyes. Some were storied products beloved by many, while others were failed experiments, or it
The radical Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 offers new ways to use a smartphone, and it’s been exciting trying one out for the first time. With a 6.2-inch AMOLED screen on the outside and a tablet-sized 7.6-inch display on the inside, it’s caused me to rethink how I use my phone. While I’ve found several unique uses for its folding design, one of the biggest game changers for me was one I hadn’t thought of—until it was time to manage my fantasy football team. Who should
There’s a reason that unboxing videos and the phrase “new car smell” are firmly ensconced in the public groupmind. New stuff is exciting! New stuff is (theoretically) better! New stuff is just plain cool.
But new stuff also costs an arm and a leg—at least if you’re talking about a new PC. And you might not even truly need a new PC to accomplish what you’re looking to do, because most everyday tasks don’t require much processing power, especiall

When experiencing the excitement of a new GPU release, our mouths collectively water as the specs are revealed to us. Power draw numbers make us “Ooh” and “Aah” as it often means high performance. In real-world use, however, these exclamations can quickly turn to “ohh…” and “ahh…” as we’re faced with the hot, noisy, power-hungry GPUs in our everyday gaming rigs. We’re going to tell you what to expect from the current and
No need to break the bank
Sure, swanky new laptops and $1,500 graphics cards may capture all the headlines, but on a practical level, the real story is that PCs aren’t cheap. In the last couple of years, it’s been particularly difficult to swing a whole new PC due to supply chain issues. Fortunately, there’s no reason to rush out and spend hundreds on a fresh system if your computer’s starting to feel pokey.
Investing small amounts in key new PC hardware can keep
PC gaming is awesome. But the requirement to invest hundreds (or thousands!) of dollars into expensive hardware to get the most out of it is, well, not. That’s doubly true when a confluence of circumstances means finding a decent graphics card is an undertaking about on par with searching for the Holy Grail in El Dorado.
So, if you’re rocking a more practical low-power laptop, or your desktop’s best years are behind it, you might be looking for a few games you can pl
We all hoped that 2021 would signal a return to normalcy, but that never quite happened. Microsoft’s hardware teams enjoyed strong success this year. But for Windows, software, and services? Not so much.
Microsoft’s year in review has become a holiday tradition of sorts here at PCWorld—recapping Microsoft’s strengths, failures, and moments that made us scratch our heads and mutter, “Seriously, what.” So if you enjoyed our recap of 2020, grab a glass of ho
Your home Wi-Fi network, even if it’s password-protected, probably isn’t completely secure. That’s because passwords can be hacked, which in turn leaves you vulnerable. But there are ways to beef up security without taking on a lot of expense, such as by upgrading to the FlashRouter Netgear R6400 — on sale during Cyber Week.
The FlashRouter Netgear R6400 DD-WRT VPN Privacy Router is a wireless network centerpiece that upgrades your WiFi signal for the new
Cybercrime is expensive. It’ll cost us an obscene $10.5 trillion within a few years, in fact, if these predictions have any merit. That means that the demand for cyber security professionals is probably going to rise also, so we’re offering The 2022 Ultimate Cybersecurity Analyst Preparation Bundle and discounting it by 20 percent during Cyber Week.
