The three-pronged future of custom PC building — from repurposing forgotten parts to ultra-premium works of gaming art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With RAMageddon, the storage apocalypse, GPU stagnation, and GPU price increases all happening more or less simultaneously, this is the worst time to build a PC that I can remember — and I built my first PC in the previous century (powered by an AMD K6-2). If you have a rig that meets your needs at the moment (even if just barely), current prices probably make you more interested in keeping it running than in considering major upgrades or, even more daunting, starting over from scratch with a ne
Hands On: Sharge's Disk Pro 2 Ultra is a compact, magnetic DIY SSD dock with active cooling, 80W passthrough charging, and HDMI 2.1 that supports up to 8TB drives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With its built-in USB / HDMI hub and a small fan to keep temperatures in check, Sharge's Disk Pro SSD is one of the more interesting (and generally useful) external storage drives in recent memory, easily earning a spot on our Best External SSD list.

In a twist, the company will also offer swappable keycaps (pretty uncommon in the la
Lenovo ditches fans in favor of solid-state AirJet tech in super-slim, 1.8-pound AeroBlade laptop concept – company also lands at IFA with a 14-inch rollable screen notebook that expands to 17 inches (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lenovo has a history of bringing concept laptops to the IFA trade show in Berlin, and this year’s pair are all about improving productivity and portability. They also feel closer to something you might actually buy than some concepts we’ve seen in the past. First up, Project AeroBlade is a 14-inch laptop where, as the company’s press release puts it, “every component is re-engineered around mobility.” For starters, the laptop foregoes fans in favor of Frore Systems’ AirJet solid-state cooling te
