The office supplies retailer is selling the Dell S2817Q, a 28-inch 4K monitor, for $260. That’s nearly 50 percent off its list price, and $170 cheaper than you can get it direct from Dell.…

Multi-colored PC lighting has crept into almost every category out there—even sound cards and power supplies. What’s less clear is just how easy it is to build a system entirely of RGB parts and then simultaneously control all of the lighting. So to put it to the test, we’re building a PC that houses…

We’re building an RGB PC, and we’re putting in as many components with multi-colored LEDs as possible. It’s purely for self-education reasons, of course. Source link

Intel’s Kaby Lake-G chip harbors a mystery. PCWorld has learned the company’s exciting CPU/GPU combo chip may actually be based on AMD’s older-generation Polaris cores rather than the newest Vega cores.  This revelation doesn’t change how we feel about the chip, having already tested it (and liked it) in Intel’s Hades Canyon NUC, which earned an Editors’ Choice award. But an industry-standard system utility identifies the Kaby Lake-G as having an AMD Polaris bloodline. And we’ve discovered other evidence suggesting the chip’s GPU…

MSI has a reputation for making edgy-looking desktops, and the Vortex G25VR (starts at $1,499; $1,999 as tested) is no exception. This game-console-like device, with its hard-hitting combo of an Intel Core i7-8700 six-core processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB graphics card, packs a lot of power into a small footprint. The Corsair One Pro, with its sky-high level of power in a compact, classy design, remains our Editors’ Choice for small-form-factor gaming desktops, but the G25VR’s intriguing…

The 27-inch Lenovo IdeaCentre 520 AIO (starts at $1,099.99; $1,749.99 as tested) is a handsome, modern desktop that checks a lot of boxes for all-in-one buyers—sleek design, stellar touch display, and strong performance. The 520 features a desktop Core i7 rather than the mobile processor found in most AIOs, and a 2TB hard drive teamed with 16TB of Intel Optane memory for some of the speed of a solid-state drive. But it lacks the interior accessibility and upgradeability of our…

Intel’s months-long marathon of releasing CPU microcode patches to protect against critical Meltdown and Spectre exploits is ending, but some older processors that were promised firmware updates won’t be receiving them. The chipmaker’s latest microcode revision update now says planned revisions are “stopped” for CPUs based on the Penryn (2007), Yorkfield (2007), Wolfdale (2007), Bloomfield (2008), Clarksfield (2009), Jasper Forest (2010), and Atom “SoFIA” (2015), as Tom’s Hardware first noticed. Here’s Intel’s explanation of the new status: “After a comprehensive…
