The Dell Pro 5 16 is the large-screen entry in Dell’s commercial Pro laptop line, and the one that leads on value rather than portability. Our review unit pairs the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 (12 cores, 24 threads, 55 TOPS NPU) with AMD Radeon 890M integrated graphics, 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM,

The Intel Arc Pro B70 is the most capable and promising deskside AI card Intel has shipped, but at times, it is also the most frustrating. Intel set the list price at $949 for 32GB of GDDR6 when it launched in March of this year. However, the memory crunch squeezing the whole market has pushed

Samsung’s new 990 SSD joins the consumer lineup as a mainstream PCIe Gen4 drive that prioritizes efficiency and value over raw speed. Samsung calls it its most power-efficient SSD to date, claiming up to 38% better power efficiency than the 990 PRO. The 2TB model is rated at 7,250MB/s sequential read and 6,450MB/s write, with random

The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is a premium full-tower case that takes the existing Flux Pro layout and replaces the standard fan package with six Noctua G2 PWM fans. The airflow setup includes three NF-A14x25 G2 front intake fans, two NF-A12x25 G2 lower intake fans above the PSU shroud, and one NF-A14x25 G2 rear

AMD silicon arguably got here first: Strix Halo mini PCs and laptops were shipping with 128GB of unified memory well before NVIDIA entered the picture. But the local-AI desktop as a category is one NVIDIA effectively created when it put a Grace Blackwell superchip in a one-liter box and called it DGX Spark. The pitch

Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K sits in the middle of the Arrow Lake-S desktop stack, pairing 20 cores with a much larger architectural change than you might expect. The layout consists of 8 Lion Cove P-cores and 12 Skymont E-cores, for 20 cores and 20 threads, with Hyper-Threading removed in this generation. The P-cores have

Intel’s return to boxed workstation processors arrived on February 2, 2026, when the company announced the Xeon 600 series, codenamed Granite Rapids-WS, with retail parts reaching shelves in late March. The launch folded the old Xeon W-2500 and W-3500 lines into a single family of 11 SKUs on the new W890 chipset and LGA4710 socket,

For most of the last decade, the high-core workstation conversation has been largely led by AMD. Threadripper PRO pushed core counts, cache, and PCIe lanes past what Intel’s Xeon-W line could offer; the prior Xeon-W flagship topped out at 60 cores, while AMD kept climbing. Intel’s Xeon 600 series, launched in February of this year,

The HighPoint Rocket 1604L is a $399 PCIe Gen5 x16 add-in card that carries four M.2 NVMe SSDs, each on a dedicated Gen5 x4 connection. In our testing with four Samsung 9100 PRO 4TB drives installed, the card sustained 55.6GB/s of 128K sequential read bandwidth and 10.1 million 4K random write IOPS, numbers that are
