The roomy, and relatively responsive Logitech MK320 keyboard isn’t bad as far as cheap keyboard bundles go, but it’s saddled with a so-so mouse. On sale for as little as $25 on Amazon (its list price is $40), the MK320 benefits from dead-simple wireless setup and snappy typing, but the stiff buttons on the mouse make clicking a drag. Given that Logitech offers better options at slightly higher and lower price points, bargain hunters can safely give the MK320 a…

Read enough laptop reviews on PCWorld and other sites, and you might notice a pattern: This laptop was almost perfect. If not for one major problem, it would have been nearly flawless. My PCWorld colleague Hayden Dingman called the Razer Blade Stealth “near-perfection,” if not for subpar battery life and a couple of smaller complaints. Whether it’s a weak battery, a low-resolution screen, an uncomfortable keyboard, or another failing, laptops can’t ever quite tick all the boxes. But how much…

In this special episode of The Full Nerd, AMD senior VP of computing Jim Anderson joins Gordon Mah Ung to dig into the details and backstory of the newly launched 2nd-gen Threadripper CPUs, spearheaded by the monstrous 32-core, 64-thread Threadripper 2990WX for $1,800 (preorder on NeweggRemove non-product link). “Before we launched Threadripper, if you go back in time, the best you could get in this part of the market was a 10-core processor for around the same price—$1,700 to $1,800.…

AMD formally announced four new 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadrippers (also called “Threadripper 2”) Monday morning, at prices aimed to kill Intel. The 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX has 32 cores, 64 threads, and a list price of $1,799 (preorder on NeweggRemove non-product link). Yes, we know, this sounds like a lot of money. However, AMD’s new flagship CPU is actually a pretty spectacular bargain compared to Intel’s top dog, the Core i-7980XE, which launched last year with 18 cores and…
