My, how the world can change in a year. The previous version of the Razer Blade 16 shot to the top of our best gaming laptop guide upon its release in 2025, thanks to its fantastic chassis design, great performance, and battery-powered gaming abilities, among other virtues. Yes, it was hugely expensive. But thanks to…

MSI has just announced the Pro Max OLED 271UPJW12, and if you aren’t a monitor wizard who can make sense of all those numbers, that’s a new 27-inch 4K inkjet-printed OLED monitor. If you are unfamiliar with what that means, inkjet printing is a cheaper process than the traditional deposition process used by LG and…

We’re working on what’s next for PC Gamer, on pcgamer.com, our magazine, on social platforms, and in video.

Naturally, it’s even better with friends: in two long sessions with my PC Gamer pals Tyler and Morgan, we’ve solved over a dozen puzzles, had twice as many laughs, and as you might expect, done a heck…

Noctua has “custom-built torture-test rigs”, all designed to put fans through their paces to see if they can withstand how the…
