The reason why prebuilt PCs might be a better buy in 2026 - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the first time in quite a while, a prebuilt PC can save you money over creating your own rig. We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. This is painful to write as someone who's been building their own gaming PCs for decades. Still, there's no denying that corporations' seemingly unquenchable thirst to build so many AI data centers has made PC component prices shoot through the roof. That means we're in an era where it's prohibitively expensive to build a gaming rig. Though p
How to improve your FPS for better gaming (without buying new hardware) - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don't need a new GPU to increase your frame rates, but you'll need to turn off some fancy graphical enhancements. Generally, PC gamers care more about frame rates than their console-playing counterparts. And they should: as a platform, PC offers far greater levels of customization than consoles, letting you tweak all manner of graphical presets, output resolutions and advanced rendering techniques like ray tracing.

Read excerpt
They're great for gaming, but not as good for other use cases. Curved monitors have come a long way since the first slanted screen in the form of the Samsung SE790C launched back in 2015.

If you're currently reading this on a flat panel but have always been intrigued a
What was the PSX? The souped-up PS2 rarely sold outside of Japan - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The PSX was one of Sony's flops that tried to do too much. When looking back at the history of video games, the odd console curio is always fun to examine. Long before the Meta Quest cracked the VR market, Nintendo dipped its toes into virtual reality waters with the Virtual Boy. Then there was Sega, who tried to cash in on the success of the Genesis with its bizarre 32X add-on. And who could forget the Nintendo 64DD? Oh, that's right: everyone. Speaking of weird machines that were never release
Steam Deck vs. Switch 2 — which gaming handheld is more powerful? - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Steam Deck and Switch 2 both have their advantages, but which should you choose for greater raw power? The Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch 2 are very different handhelds. One is focused on bringing PC gaming into the palm of your hand, while the other delivers a hybrid experience where you can easily bounce between big-screen and handheld play. But which of the two portable machines is more powerful? In terms of raw numbers, there's not actually much to separate the Steam Deck and Switch 2's
