If you’re looking to update your gaming rig, but can’t get the graphics card you want or it’s simply beyond your budget, try a higher quality display instead. Amazon is currently selling an LG 32-inch 1440p high refresh rate display for $397. That’s $100 off the most recent price and just $10 higher than the all-time low.
This display is an excellent upgrade for anyone who has a card capable of 1440p. It has a maximum 165Hz refresh rate, though LG says you can overcl
It’s another great day to pick up a grab-and-go laptop for a student or business professional at a standout price. Dell is selling the Inspiron 15 3000 for just $300. This is a limited availability deal, so you’ll want to act fast.
This laptop has a 15.6-inch 1080p display, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of NVMe onboard storage. For Wi-Fi, it has 802.11ac as well as Bluetooth. The port selection is pretty good with two standard USB 3.2, one USB 2.0, and one HDMI 1.4 out.
The CPU is an
Now that Intel has filled out its lineup of kick-ass 12th-generation “Alder Lake” desktop processors—and the 600-series chipsets that go with them—picking the right motherboard is that much more important. Every CPU fits a different situation, and so the mobo you drop it into can help or hinder your goals.
That’s because your motherboard’s chipset determines the capabilities of your PC. And for Alder Lake in particular, you have to pay close attention to
In recent weeks, I’ve amassed a substantial number of sensitive digital documents for entirely mundane reasons. Between preparing for tax season and home refinancing, I’m sitting on a pile of PDFs, all full of detailed personal information. This created a small dilemma: I didn’t want to delete the files or leave them out in the open on my hard drive, but I wasn’t keen on printing them out on reams of paper either. That’s when I remembered Personal Vault, a feature
Everyone needs to learn how to code, even if they have no desire to become a programmer. That’s because the intangible benefits of learning this skill are just too difficult to deny. So how do you learn without risking a lot of money on college? You get The 2022 All-in-One Learn to Code Certification Bundle instead, which is offered to readers right now for a paltry $44.99.
This web-based training package provides a beginner-friendly introduction to coding. It
Microsoft has issued a small update to its PowerToys free suite of utilities, adding three new tools. Two more interesting ones appear to be on the PowerToys roadmap, including a GIF capture tool.
Though useful, the new tools aren’t very dramatic. The most significant addition is a new “crosshair” that can be centered over the mouse pointer, making it easier to find on a crowded screen. Microsoft also added two new File Explorer utilities, one adding support for 150 develo
Microsoft’s pesky SSD bug within Windows 11 may finally be fixed according to reports.
Late last year, it was discovered that Windows 11 may have been the cause of mysterious SSD slowdowns, specifically slower write speeds on certain NVMe SSD drives. Bugs like these aren’t immediately obvious and Microsoft claimed to have addressed the issue in patch KB5007262, which was released last year.
Whether that patch solved every SSD problem or not isn’t clear. Microsoft has i
Sometimes having a record of what changed in a document is useful—perhaps you want to easily rescind your edits. More commonly these days, multiple people will work in a single shared file, and so knowing who offered suggestions makes discussing them easier.
The visual result looks similar to how changes used to get marked on physical paper, once upon a time. For example, delete a section, and it gets formatted as strikethrough text in a different color.

It’s been a great time to get a laptop at a good price lately and today we’ve found another rather sweet deal. Amazon is selling a Ryzen-based Acer Aspire 5 for $340, which is down from $390.
This laptop has a 15.6-inch 1080p display and the CPU is a Ryzen 3 3350U. The processor has four cores, four threads, and a maximum boost of 3.5GHz. It’s not the most powerful processor, but Ryzen processors are very good at handling productivity applications. This particular processo
NVMe drives may be the top choice for boot drives for your laptop or desktop, but when it comes to capacity, 2.5-inch SSDs can offer a better deal. Right now, you can get a 2TB Crucial BX500 for just $150 at Amazon. To get the deal, you have to clip the $30 off coupon underneath the price on the product page.
When we reviewed the 2TB Crucial BX500 last April, we gave it four out of five stars. “The BX500 is subjectively as fast as anything out there until it runs out of cache. That&rs
