    ‘I want one. And you should too. But I’m not convinced either of us can afford it’ — the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ gave me staggering performance with its Intel Arc G3 Extreme SoC but I’ll never stretch to that price (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Honestly, the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ has changed what I believed a handheld console is capable of. The Intel Arc G3 Extreme chipset it’s packing offers astounding performance, delivering fantastically smooth frame-rates for modern games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. That screen is gorgeous and richly colored and the Hall effect thumbsticks and triggers are hard wearing and sensitive. But there’s a catch: it costs easily as much as many midrange gaming laptops, while not be

    ‘Smoother than an olympic diver slathered in goose fat’ — the affordable OnePlus Nord CE5 seriously impressed me with its slick performance and fluid 120Hz display (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Given its affordable price, using the OnePlus Nord CE5 is a surprisingly polished experience. Both its display and camera deliver seriously dynamic color, its OS is smooth to use and makes multitasking a breeze, and its battery can outlast many flagship phones. Admittedly, its chipset is far from top of the range, it’s packed with more bloat than I’d like, and it can’t handle games on max graphics settings, but none of its shortcomings are egregious. It’s a seriously skilled phone in many areas

    Finally trying out Flight Simulator 2024 has been humbling — both because of the world’s gorgeous natural beauty and my awful pilot skills (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has become a bit of a meme in my house. It’s basically the only game that my non-gaming partner and I were equally excited about on its release. Every time I’ve gotten my hands on a new gaming machine, the immediate question was ‘can it run Flight Simulator?’, to which the answer was always, regrettably, no. Every gamer has a backlog — and that’s no different for us at TechRadar Gaming. From the Backlog is a series about overdue first-plays, revisiting classics, r

    Are laptops cooling pads really worth it? I spent a heatwave thrashing my MacBook and a gaming laptop in a boiling test room to see which models are a load of hot air, and which ‘makes liquid nitrogen look positively toasty (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Boy, sure is a hot one today, huh? Okay, I get the irony: that's a take so cold you could use it to replace your freezing Wim Hof showers. But when the metaphorical mercury creeps this high, you've got to keep your cool. The same goes for your laptop, which is why you might want to grab a laptop cooling pad this summer. Fortunately for you, I've spent this week testing every laptop cooling pad I can get my hands on to see which offers the superior AC for your computer. Not only that, but I've br

    ‘It understood my chicken scratch handwriting perfectly, something my own family can’t do’: Samsung’s Tab S10 FE seriously impressed me with its actually useful work tools, epic battery and lush display (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE remains a great tablet for those who might be torn between the flagship Tab S11 and the budget Tab A11. It offers a solid build, smart multitasking and productivity tools, a gorgeous display, and serves up awesome battery life. Sure, its screen could be a little brighter, its gaming performance is adequate rather than amazing, and I don’t love some of Samsung’s photo Face Effects; but, overall, this is still a worthy purchase even a year after its release. Why you c
