ARM won the efficiency argument, but it's not the future of desktop computing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Around a decade ago, I'd have laughed at the idea of mobile processors being capable of running AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077, but that's the reality. So much that was once unthinkable is now the norm, including ARM-based computers being a popular choice. ARM-based computers aren't exactly new, but it wasn't until Apple's push with the M-series chips that ARM became a serious competitor in mainstream PCs. Things have only gone uphill since then, to the point that an average PC user can consider
Everyone worries about overnight charging, but this is much worse for your battery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most common battery advice on the internet is to never charge your phone overnight. So you take it seriously, unplugging before bed every night, never letting the phone stay at full capacity for long. And yet, a year later, your battery health still drops into the eighties. Overnight charging, it turns out, has almost nothing to do with that loss. What's actually wearing your battery down is something you do during the day, every day. Admittedly, the fear makes sense when you picture a wall
I stopped cleaning up my PC to see if "Windows rot" is actually real (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My recommendation to every PC owner, regardless of the OS they're running, is to treat their PC like a car and do maintenance and cleaning every once in a while to keep it performing at its best. Specifically for Windows, there's a conception that the OS tends to slow down and decay over time. This popular idea is often called "Windows rot," and this idea has existed for as long as the OS itself. However, many regard it as a myth because software doesn't wear out physically. Nevertheless, I deci
The fastest USB port on your PC comes at a steep cost of slowing down the others (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not all USB ports are the same, and the easiest way to tell them apart is by the color codes that indicate their generations — for USB-C, markings show the underlying standard and capabilities. For high-performance devices like a USB thumb drive or an external SSD, I recommend using USB 3.0 or USB4 ports to get maximum speed. However, despite their speed, these ports come with a significant trade-off nobody tells you about. USB 3.0 and later ports and devices generate high-frequency electromagne
AMD might finally have the GPU Nvidia forgot to make (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nvidia has always led in desktop GPUs — until now. The RTX 50-Series' disastrous launch was the deciding factor in the GPU war against AMD, and Team Red won despite releasing only three GPUs (with different variants) in the RDNA 4 lineup. This low-key approach worked well for AMD, since the PC community shifted toward budget and mid-range builds instead of chasing top performance because of the high costs. Still, the question lingers: When will AMD return to the flagship models? The last time it
