HP has announced new OmniBook 5 laptops, and sent me a pre-production sample to test out this exciting, value-driving Snapdragon X device a little early πŸ‘€ HANDS-ON: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/hp/... πŸ’»

Computex has arrived, and Razer has taken the opportunity to announce its new Razer Blade 14 gaming laptop! This isn't a simple spec bump, either. DETAILS: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/raz... πŸ’»

The LOQ Tower (Gen 9) is Lenovo's most affordable tower PC designed for gaming, but it's overpriced and under-featured compared to the competition. REVIEW: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/len... ⬇️

The Razer Pro Click V2 has the body of ergonomic productivity but the heart of a gaming mouse πŸ–±οΈ REVIEW: www.windowscentral.com/accessories/... ⬇️

The prologue for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is something else. I'm only two hours in and wow. I think I'm going to like this.

I need the best albums from Dayseeker and Bad Omens to get started listening to these bands.

I'm not convinced the rumored ASUS ROG Ally 2 (and its Xbox variant) will be the upgrade I wanted it to be, but I'm still really interested to get it in my hands. I'm just disappointed rumors point to the same 16:9, 7in screen.

"We pitched it for 10 years and we weren’t sure if it was going to go into orbit". In an exclusive discussion with the creators of "A Minecraft Movie", @boddyzachary.bsky.social digs into the details of its 10-year march to release. INTERVIEW: www.windowscentral.com/gaming/minec... ⛏️

No more hours-long quests to find a single saddle for your horse β€” Minecraft is finally letting us craft them. buff.ly/DcqDiyr #Minecraftβ›οΈπŸŽ

"This is the least circular wireless PC gaming headset I've reviewed.." β€” @boddyzachary.bsky.social ASUS' ROG Delta II is a great headset with dual wireless connectivity and a unique triangular earcup design. REVIEW: www.windowscentral.com/accessories/... 🎧

DOOM: Eternal was a good game, but it burned me out on DOOM far more than I expected. I think The Dark Ages is going on the back burner for a while, I'll play other games on the backlog.

"There's truly nothing quite like this insanely powerful 14-inch AI laptop, but only a handful should buy it." HP's ZBook Ultra 14 (G1a) has a VERY specialized purpose. REVIEW by @boddyzachary.bsky.social: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/hp/... πŸ’»

Razer's tiniest wireless gaming accessories are apparently perfect for gamers on the go. So, I tried the Razer Basilisk Mobile and Razer Joro to see how they compare to their bigger siblings! HANDS-ON: www.windowscentral.com/accessories/... πŸ–±οΈβŒ¨οΈ

Why does the streaming version of MX by Deftones still have that 30-minute gap in the middle? πŸ˜… That was cool on CD, but I'd rather just hear the music on my phone.

I'm honestly a little scared of Blue Prince. I just get the feeling it'll consume my every waking (and non-waking) hour.

I'm burnt out on Doom Eternal. I'm really struggling to do the DLC. 🫠

I tested SteelSeries' tiniest high-performance keyboard, and it proves that gaming companies aren't the ONLY source for this kind of gear. REVIEW: www.windowscentral.com/accessories/... ⌨️

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (Gen 10) is still one of the best gaming laptops you can buy.. but I will really miss the rear-facing ports. REVIEW: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/len... πŸ’»

Grateful Dead, City of Sound, and two Ghost albums down. Still have a lot on the list, but give me more!

The DOOM Eternal DLC is a noticeable step up in difficulty, haha. These missions are also longer than I expected, I don't think I'll be able to finish both parts by tomorrow. 😭

I have officially uninstalled Call of Duty. Realized I haven't logged on to play because I wanted to in weeks, was only doing it for events. That's 200GB of space freed up for more single-player games!

The ASUS AirVision M1 AR glasses are functional and complete, but are wildly overpriced and fall far behind the competition. (I don't know why they're $700) REVIEW: www.windowscentral.com/accessories/... πŸ€”

Razer reminded all of us it doesn't just make gaming gear with its new "Pro Click V2" mice. This vertical mouse is saving my wrist πŸ€— HANDS-ON: www.windowscentral.com/accessories/... πŸ–±οΈ

Happy Sleep Token release day, everyone.

Here's everything you need to know about haptic touchpads in Windows laptops β€” including how they actually work. Having a good trackpad can truly make or break your experience, and Sensel's tech is arguably the gold standard. GUIDE: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/lap... πŸ’»

oh no clair obscur: expedition 33 also looks amazing πŸ’€

Now we can finally get The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Ultimate Edition Remastered.

Well, I definitely need to play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. But I still need to play DOOM Eternal before The Dark Ages comes out. And I still have Atomfall and Blue Prince to catch up on. And Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 might be really good. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠😭🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

FIRST LOOK: Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2025) is the successor to last year's top gaming laptop (for most people). What's new and better? What's worse and worrying? Let's find out: www.windowscentral.com/hardware/len... πŸ’»

Another one down! Really enjoyed this one, I very much hope we see more of this universe. DOOM: Eternal and its DLC is next so I can hop on The Dark Ages when it drops. Hope to hit Atomfall before then, though.

I can't remember the last time I logged into Black Ops 6 and simply had fun. πŸ’€ Getting close to dropping this game.
