It’s a good day to get an extra terabyte of storage for your laptop or desktop. Sky Hynix is selling the 1TB Gold S31 2.5-inch SSD on Amazon for $79.04. That’s about $3 higher than the all-time low and the best price since the holidays.
We picked the Gold S31 as the best SSD for most people because of the price and performance. It’s one of the fastest SATA SSDs we’ve ever tested. If you’re already rocking a NVMe drive and your laptop has a 2.5-inch drive bay, t
Nvidia’s proposed purchase of Arm for an estimated $40 billion in cash and stock was expected to have a difficult time winning the approval of regulators. It apparently could not, and the two companies called off the agreement on Monday night.
Nvidia and Softbank, which owned Arm, said that the proposed deal had been terminated. Softbank will keep a $1.25 billion prepayment, but will instead divest of Arm via a public offering rather than an outright sale. That IPO will take place som

The monitor market is on the cusp of entering a new era of innovation. After two decades relying on a familiar core technology – an LCD panel with an LED backlight – consumer PC displays are making the leap to Mini-LED and OLED technology.
Lenovo is a leader in this space. It was an early adopter of OLED in laptops, the first to bring a 2-in-1 PC with a folding OLED screen to consumers, and is among the few selling a 27-inch Mini-LED monitor right now.

Historically, malicious Office macros have been the equivalent of email’s phishing attempts, launching malware at the click of a user’s mouse. Microsoft said Monday that it’s finally clamping down on this security vulnerability, blocking Visual Basic (VBA) macros by default.
To date, Microsoft has warned users about the dangers of untrusted macros, but allowed users to download and run them by manually approving them. Now, untrusted macros will be blocked by default within

I’ve been drooling over that new Alienware OLED monitor since CES, but here in the real world, most of us use something a little more practical. Dell’s latest monitors (which are actually going on sale!) are boosting the reliable IPS screen panel technology long favored by designers for color accuracy. Two new entries in the excellent UltraSharp line, 27 and 32 inches, get new “nano IPS Black” technology supplied by LG. This approximately doubles the contrast ratio of c
Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts are known for going a bit wild with custom-made, “artisan” keycaps, ranging from full themed keysets like my Star Trek Galaxy Class set, to tiny pieces of fan art like these Pokemon resin caps, to even more ridiculous novelties. But a new keycap that popped up in China this weekend might be of particular interest to anyone who’s been struggling to find a high-end graphics card for the last couple of years. ZFrontier
