Five upcoming monitors from HP OMEN cater to various budgets and preferences. If you’re after a budget-friendly monitor with top-notch performance or a curved ultrawide screen offering impressive visuals, the new HP OMEN series might just have the perfect fit for you. Personally, I’m thrilled about the enhanced HP OMEN 27qs G2, as it promises to improve an already excellent mid-range gaming monitor even further.

It appears that HP recognized the flaw in the OMEN Transcend and devised a solution, leading to the unveiling of the OMEN MAX 16 at CES 2025, which HP claims as their “most powerful gaming laptop.” Given its shipment with NVIDIA’s upcoming laptop GPUs and the newest Intel or AMD processors, this claim isn’t surprising. However, it will also be the priciest gaming laptop from HP, with a projected starting price of around $2,699 upon release in the near future.

At CES 2025, Razer is moving away from any sense of standing still. The newest Razer Blade 16 has been officially unveiled, and it represents what could be the greatest leap forward in generations that Razer has ever undertaken. A completely new design that sets a new standard for Razer, a significant transition from Intel to AMD, advanced next-generation NVIDIA graphics, and other features make the Razer Blade 16 (2025) one of the most anticipated laptops of the year.

The new RTX 5070 hits shelves at $549, while the RTX 5070 Ti retails for $749. These cards will become available in February. However, the real attention-grabbers are the upcoming RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 models, as they both promise substantial enhancements over their previous versions.

Besides their dimensions and the inclusion of a full number pad in the larger XTRFY MX 10.1 TKL, the primary distinction between the two lies in their switch types and keycap materials. Specifically, the more compact MX 8.3 TKL features hot-swappable Cherry MX2A switches coupled with double-shot PBT keycaps, whereas the MX 10.1 Wireless comes equipped with MX low profile 2.0 switches and PBT keycaps.

This collaboration between Xbox and LG, effective from the New Year, will enable support for Xbox Cloud Gaming on LG Smart TVs later in the year. As announced on Xbox Wire, this means that gamers will soon be able to explore and play Xbox games using the cloud through the upcoming Gaming Portal app on their LG TVs.
