Similar to the news you’ve seen about other gaming laptops, like the Asus ROG Zephyrus, some of the design changes are minimal, but Acer has gone OP on the innards — giving them beefy 11th Gen Intel Core H-series processors and GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs.

Design The Acer Spin 1 doesn’t look anything like a $329 laptop. Its gunmetal-gray aluminum chassis stands out in a price band where cheap, glossy plastic is the norm. I particularly like the subtle, cross-hatch pattern on the dark gray lid and how it contrasts with the shiny, silver hinge area. Thick screen bezels, however, keep the inside of the system from looking quite as stunning as the outside of the package....

Unfortunately, the C213SA’s dull aesthetic, so-so performance and cheap cameras hold it back from earning our Editors’ Choice award. Still, it’s one of the best Asus laptops and best laptops overall for kids, as it promises not to fuss over a few drops or spills along the way. Design The Asus Chromebook Flip reminds me of portable DVD players of the mid-2000s. The edges of its dark-gray case are lined with light-gray rubber, which gives it a chunky overall appearance....

However, actually getting your hands on a Linux laptop can be tricky. You can install Linux on a Chromebook, but the process is long and complicated (despite Chrome OS itself being based on the Gentoo Linux distro).

When I first saw Bleeding Edge at E3, I was kind of worried about the state of the game. Bleeding Edge’s announcement came just one year after Xbox revealed that it had purchased the independent game development studio, which seemed too good to be true. As it turned out, Ninja Theory started development for Bleeding Edge in 2016, but it wasn’t until the acquisition that Bleeding Edge could fully come to life....

For $129 (on sale for $89), the Corsair HS60 Haptic gaming headset provides you with amazing bass quality. It also has a very comfortable fit, and after some light tuning through the software provided, the sound quality is pretty great. We can’t forgive and forget its cons, though. Unfortunately, the headset works only for PC, and it doesn’t have a very long USB cable, making it difficult to use depending on your setup....
