1+ hour, 3+ min ago (190+ words) This rare deal is for all my fellow nerds. Lazy fellow nerds. Or ignorant, in my case. Why? This Wi-Fi 7 router costs the same as (or even less than) a higher-end consumer model with a similar user-friendly interface, but provides far greater flexibility in configuration. It also functions as a limited NVR (network video recorder), with your choice of up to five HD, two 2K, or 4K cameras supported. The Dream Router 7 comes with a 64GB microSD card pre-installed for recording. A view of all connected devices in the Ubiquiti dashboard, circa 2016 from Troy Hunt's blog. The interface is still this clean and streamlined! Earlier versions of the Ubiquiti Dream Router had some buggy issues (like dropped Wi-Fi), but users in the last few months have reported rock-solid stability on the newest firmware. The Dream Router 7 is a quick online purchase, with much…...

2+ hour, 2+ min ago (762+ words) Corsair's latest MP700 Pro XT ups the performance ante for the MP700 series. It's fast and affordable, though it doesn't quite lead the pack in either department. 1TB: $160 I 2TB: $250 I 4TB: $460 If it seems as if we've reviewed quite a few MP700's from Corsair, it's because we have (MP700 Elite, MP700 Pro, MP700 Pro SE). The company keeps upping the ante with performance or other features, so we're back with yet another " the MP700 Pro XT. Is it better than its predecessors? Yup. Not by a ton, but hey! Every little bit counts. All that aside, the MP700 Pro XT is a top-notch PCIe 5.0 SSD. Read on to learn more, then see our roundup of the best SSDs for comparison. An M.2 2280 (22mm wide, 80mm long) SSD, the MP700 Pro XT features PCIe 5.0, a Phison E28 controller, and 218-layer TLC NAND. The drive is a DRAM design for faster random ops, with 1GB of cache…...

2+ hour, 2+ min ago (1297+ words) The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 isn't the beefiest gaming laptop, but it's a lean, mean machine with stable performance, largely silent cooling, and an overall great package. Asus already had a great laptop on its hands with 2024's ROG Zephyrus G16, and the 2025 Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 doesn't change too much. The outward appearance of the laptop is largely the same, continuing to offer a thin and light gaming laptop with an elegant metal build and great display. Asus seems to have taken some of the criticism to heart, though, as it proves a largely quiet running device even when it's cranked to Turbo settings. And though it has a premium price and trails beefier machines in performance, it remains conveniently portable and even undercuts other design-focused laptops. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is an impressive machine. It offers an excellent build, great speakers,…...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago (1553+ words) The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i is a 16-inch laptop that feels like a bargain if you can find it under $500. At under $500, this is a 4.5-star experience and unusually good value. At its full retail price, it's not particularly impressive. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i is a budget 16-inch laptop you might find for under $500. With a decent CPU, an aluminum chassis, a 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM, it's an excellent value at that price. However, the full MSRP is supposedly $829. If you see this laptop at its full retail price, it doesn't make as much sense. As I'm wrapping this review up, you can get it for $429. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i has an Intel Core 5 210H CPU. I'm not a huge fan of these chips, which I see popping up on lots of laptops lately. These are based on Intel's older Raptor Lake…...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago (445+ words) I always look for no-compromise Black Friday Chromebooks at the lowest price, and this $149 Lenovo IdeaPad 3i deal at Amazon is at or close to the best Chromebook deal you'll find for 2025. Everyone has the same thought process in the days before Black Friday: Should I buy now or wait? I've been covering holiday Chromebook deals for years now, and Lenovo's $149 IdeaPad Chromebook deal at Amazon is a perfect time to pull the trigger. Lenovo's $150 IdeaPad 3i at Amazon doesn't ask for any compromises, which is exactly what I want in a Chromebook deal. The two criteria I look for are 8GB of RAM and a large 1080p display, and this Chromebook delivers exactly that. Most deals drop the available memory down to 4GB instead. More memory means that you can leave more tabs or applications running at any one time, which is one of…...

With a $249 MSRP, you can now get the buds for $220 while Amazon's Black Friday sale is still going on. These earbuds are absolutely fantastic, as evidenced by our 4.5-star review and our Editors' Choice award. We loved how comfortable they are to wear for long hours and how secure they fit into the ear, as well as the quality of the noise-cancelling and the transparency modes. The better battery life definitely didn't hurt, either....

1+ day, 10+ hour ago (447+ words) You definitely can't beat a laptop for portability, which makes it the practical choice for long train trips, or even for shorter trips. Now that I've given my desktop the flick, I like the freedom of being able to work on my commute to the office. On the odd chance that I have a meeting out of the office, I can travel light, with just my laptop as my mobile note taker. It's also great for organizing my life, since I can access my work and my games wherever I go. It only takes me a minute to disconnect my laptop and pack it away in my bag, too. If there's a problem with my laptop, I also know I can simply return the whole device and get a new unit rather than trying to diagnose what the problem was…...

3+ day, 20+ hour ago (317+ words) I had my eye on the Asus Zenbook A14 from the moment I first saw it at a promotional event, thanks to its super-light build, unique finish, and insane battery life. But I wasn't in love with the ... You can read all about the Zenbook A14 in PCWorld's review (though keep in mind that the on-sale version has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage). But here's my take after about five months of using it as my portable machine: it's gorgeous with that unique, sand-colored finish that really turns heads; it's insanely light at just over 2 pounds, making it easy to slip into a bag for a quick trip; and I almost never charge the thing because its power-sipping Arm processor and beefy battery mean it lasts forever. It's also surprisingly good on ports for something so light, with two USB-C ports, HDMI,…...
