We haven’t seen the ZenBook S in person yet but images show a stunning laptop with a Jade Black metal finish and “Red Copper” diamond-cut highlights with those signature Asus concentric circles on the lid. It looks like the Dark Mode version of the HP Spectre x360 and I say that with the greatest of compliments. Best Ultrabooks in 2020The best Asus laptops in 2020Best laptops 2020 Measuring 0.6 inches and weighing 3 pounds, the ZenBook S is among the lightest 14-inch laptops on the market....

CPU: Intel Core i7-1165G7 GPU: Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics RAM: 16GB Storage: 1512GB PCIe SSD Display: 14-inch, FHD IPS Touchscreen (1920 x 1080) Battery: 10:14 Size: 12.7" x 8.1" x 0.7 inches Weight: 2.5 pounds Although I like the Asus Chromebook CX9 overall, there are a few stumbles. The speakers are weak, the webcam is poor, and although this isn’t Asus’ fault, Chrome OS doesn’t take full advantage of the laptop’s powerful Core i7 CPU....

Design Asus took the awesome design that it uses with its premium ROG machines and dumbed it down for its budget models. The result is a plastic beast that’s more garish than sleek. The lid is made of black plastic with a faux-aluminum pattern, and while the premium machines have glowing lights on the sides of the logo, the company opted for orange neon paint on the lid of the Strix, making it look like a race car bed....

Both are priced at $1,799. The Strix Scar III offers high-end components, but the Blade 15 is crafted from more premium materials. Does the former compromise on quality, or does the latter falter because of its extreme price for its components? Here’s how these two gaming laptops stack up. Asus ROG Strix Scar III vs. Razer Blade 15: Specs compared Design The Asus ROG Strix Scar III captures my attention with its elegant, gray, brushed-aluminum hood and RGB-lit ROG logo, while the Razer Blade 15’s lid is simply matte black with a plain green Razer logo; it’s backlit but plain nonetheless....

This company is no stranger to leaks, which is most recently evidenced by footage of a Skull & Bones gameplay demonstration finding its way online, as reported by Polygon (opens in new tab). As a result, it would not be shocking if this leak turned out to be true. We’ve seen this sort of thing hundreds of times before, as it has happened with Mario + Rabbids, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Immortals Fenyx Rising....

We don’t know much about Avowed apart from the minute or so long trailer that dropped at the Xbox games event, but we have a pretty good idea that this is going to be reminiscent, if not better than one of The Elder Scrolls games (sorry not sorry, Bethesda). It’s even liable to look better as well. Before we dive in, this title still has time to launch, so keep in mind our frequently updated lists of best PC games and best PC Game Pass games as well as our best Xbox Series X games and best PS5 games....

Companies are still breaking new ground with 5G networks, and so too is the market for 5G laptops. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that what’s currently available holds no value outside of increased connectivity. Many of the laptops on this list have so much more to offer than the latest cellular network. What are the benefits of a 5G laptop? In a world where Wi-Fi generally reigns supreme, you might find yourself asking why you’d ever even need to consider picking up a 5G laptop....

As part of the sale, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are just just $79 (opens in new tab). That’s $70 off their original price or 50% off. It’s the Galaxy Buds Live’s lowest price ever and one of the best headphone deals in Best Buy’s Flash Sale (opens in new tab). If you’re not willing to shell out the $200+ for the Airpods Pro, or simply don’t want to buy into Apple products, the Galaxy Buds Live are a cheaper alternative....

Sure, the idea of relying on physical media to install games or watch movies seems a little archaic, but that’s not to say that physical DVDs don’t have their perks over digital services like Steam or Netflix. For starters, you don’t need an internet connection to watch your favorite films on DVD, and secondly, once a DVD is created, it can’t be snatched out of existence like a digital copy when publishing contracts expire....

For all tasks from making quick reaction memes to entertain the work Slack channel, to professional editing and color grading, the default option has always been Photoshop. Right now, you can pick up a Creative Cloud subscription (opens in new tab) with Photoshop for $20.99/mo (or in a special offer for first-time customers, grab Photoshop and Lightroom for $9.99/mo). On the face of it, that’s an affordable price; but what if you’re watching every penny at the moment or would rather not get stuck in another subscription plan?...

The retailer continues to offer the new Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and Type Cover keyboard for $599, or $330 off the original price.

The change was first hinted at by Microsoft’s Sr. Program Manager for Windows Matthijs Hoekstra, before it was apparently first found in the wild by Twitter user @Chris123NT who shared proof. The change is possibly more for Microsoft than it is for users, though. If a user shares a photo of their green screen online, Microsoft’s team will recognize it on sight and better know where to file the news of a crash and how to prioritize it....
