Gigabyte has several RTX 5060 gaming laptops on sale at Walmart, with prices starting at $999 for the Gaming A16. That makes the lineup worth a look at a time when gaming laptops, desktop parts, memory, and SSDs are becoming more expensive across the PC market. The main attraction is the Gigabyte Gaming A16. It combines an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU with

Colorful says China has not banned the GeForce RTX 5090 D v2, pushing back against recent reports while showing a new overclocking focused version of the GPU at Computex. The company said it continues to make and sell RTX 5090 D v2 graphics cards, and its latest iGame model suggests the card is still very much part of Colorful’s high end lineup. The standout

IQUNIX has expanded its premium keyboard lineup with two new products shown at Computex 2026: the EV63 Ghost in the Shell Edition and the EC75 Hall Effect keyboard. Both are aimed at gamers and keyboard enthusiasts who want faster inputs, strong build quality, and a more distinctive design than a standard gaming keyboard. The EV63 Ghost in the Shell Edition is the headline product

SK Hynix is reportedly preparing a major memory production expansion that could nearly double its DRAM wafer capacity by 2030. The plan was already in motion before NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang publicly asked the company to “please make more” memory during Computex, showing that SK Hynix had already seen where demand was heading. The expansion matters because memory has become one of the biggest

SpaceX has reportedly signed a huge cloud compute agreement with Google, giving the search giant access to part of the Colossus 1 data center after xAI moved its main training work elsewhere. The deal is valued at $920 million per month and is expected to run from October 2026 through June 2029, although either side can cancel it with 90 days of notice. The

NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform is starting to look like one of the most important Windows on Arm efforts yet, with major PC makers already preparing laptops and mini PCs around the new chip. At Computex, early RTX Spark systems from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and Microsoft showed how broad NVIDIA’s first true client Windows SoC push could become. RTX Spark is built as

AMD says its AM5 platform will continue receiving new Ryzen products and fresh Zen architectures through 2029, giving PC builders a much longer upgrade path before the company moves to a new desktop socket. The next major platform shift will only happen when standards like DDR6 and PCIe 6 make enough practical sense for buyers, not simply because a new technology looks good on

AMD wants to rebuild Radeon around the same idea that made Ryzen successful: strong value, practical features, and a closer relationship with PC gamers. The company knows it cannot match NVIDIA’s full GPU ecosystem overnight, but it believes Radeon can grow over multiple generations by focusing on what buyers actually want from a gaming graphics card. That message came as AMD discussed its broader

Next generation graphics cards may need far more aggressive cooling than today’s high end GPUs, and one cooler manufacturer is already preparing for that possibility. AURAS showed a massive 1000W GPU cooling concept at Computex, using a twin 360mm AIO liquid cooling design built for future graphics cards that could push far beyond current thermal limits. The design is called an Advanced VGA Solution,

Intel is making a serious push into handheld gaming PCs with its new Arc G3 Extreme chip, and early benchmark claims suggest AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme may have real competition. The new Arc G3 series is built for portable gaming devices rather than being a repurposed laptop chip, which could give Intel a stronger position in one of the fastest growing PC gaming categories.

Intel’s next major desktop CPU platform may arrive later than expected, with new Computex reports pointing to an early 2027 launch for Nova Lake. The upcoming chips are expected to become Intel’s Core Ultra Series 4 desktop family, bringing new CPU cores, a new socket, new 900 series motherboards, and much higher core counts for enthusiast PCs. Nova Lake is shaping up to be

Minisforum used Computex 2026 to show a wide range of compact systems, including a powerful AMD Strix Halo based NAS, a fanless Intel Wildcat Lake all flash NAS, and several new Intel Core Ultra and Core Series 3 mini PCs. The lineup shows how the company is moving beyond simple small form factor desktops and into local AI, high speed storage, and home server

CXMT’s DDR5 memory may not bring the price relief many PC builders expected. While the Chinese DRAM maker has been seen as a possible answer to rising memory costs, several memory vendors at Computex said its DDR5 pricing is close to Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron rather than meaningfully cheaper. That changes the story around CXMT. The company may still help the market by

Flydigi’s Vader 5S is the company’s first Made for Xbox controller, and it arrives with a feature that many premium controllers still do not handle well: manual thumbstick tension adjustment. The wired controller is priced at $59.99 and includes Hall Effect sticks, extra configurable buttons, trigger locks, mechanical buttons, RGB lighting, and a three month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate card. The standout feature is

Forza Horizon 6 has plenty of ways to test your driving, but drag racing is one of the simplest and most competitive. You do not need perfect cornering, braking, or racing lines. You need the right car, the right launch, the right tune, and clean manual shifts. If you want three stars on drag strips, speed traps, and straight line challenges, a few setup

Destiny 2 is approaching its final major update, and the debate around what went wrong at Bungie is getting louder. The long running live service shooter will receive its Monument of Triumph update on June 9, after which active development is set to end while the servers remain online. For many players, that feels like a sudden and painful end to one of gaming’s

Xbox Games Showcase 2026 arrives at an important moment for Microsoft’s gaming business. The show takes place on June 7, and it also begins Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebration.
