The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT, announced last month, are the company’s answer to Nvidia’s RTX 40 Series, and they’re now available to buy around the world. AMD has said the new cards should be up to 70% faster than their predecessors and come with 1.5x better FPS in COD: MW2 and 1.7x in Cyberpunk 2077. The new cards sport a new chiplet-based design, which should allow for improved yields and lower costs of manufacturing, translating into lower consumer prices – and considering AMD’s cards are much cheaper than Nvidia’s RTX 40 Series, that seems to be ringing true....

Google Home Mini is an interesting prospect, though....

Xiaomi is exploring alternatives on its new Mi Band 8 fitness tracker, following the footsteps of Fitbit and others by promoting the tracker a potential necklace or even shoe accessory.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Aspire VX 15 is a value gaming PC with plenty of bold design flourishes that gamers seem to love. There’s none of the smart aluminium you’ll see in an Alienware 15, but as usual Acer’s plastic build feels very solid. A competent cooling system, usable keyboard and decent (for the price) performance add up to a solid buy. There are two problems.
