GIGABYTE slashed $500 off its AERO X16 gaming laptop, bringing the RTX 5070-powered machine down to $1499. On paper, that's aggressive pricing for Nvidia's latest GPU. But this deal raises questions about why such a steep cut happened so fast.
The Gigabyte X870 AORUS Infinity is not a motherboard for your gaming rig. It's a competitive overclocking platform with a rotated CPU socket, 10-layer PCB, and enough power delivery to push Ryzen 9000 CPUs to their absolute limits on the test bench.
Insta360's X6 360-degree camera pushes 8K recording to 50fps, extends battery life to 140 minutes, and adds AI-powered post-production tools. Launching August 12, 2026 at €689, it's faster and smarter than the X5, but the price jump raises questions about who needs this much camera.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 delivers pro-grade video with a 1-inch sensor, ultra-slow-motion 4K/240fps, and 3-axis gimbal stabilization in a device small enough for your jeans pocket.

The GMKtec EVO X3 ditches the traditional mini PC form factor for a vertical tower design, packing AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 128GB unified memory and a Radeon 8060S iGPU that outperforms desktop GPUs. At $3,600, it targets professionals running AI workloads and demanding multitasking, but the premium price and limited configuration options narrow its audience.
ASRock enters the QD-OLED monitor market with the PGO27QSA, a 27-inch 1440p display targeting the mid-range with 240Hz refresh, 0.03ms response time, and factory color calibration. Available in black or white, it promises premium OLED performance without the premium price tag.
AMD's 6th-generation EPYC Venice processor packs 256 cores built on TSMC's 2nm process, targeting AI and data center workloads with up to 70% performance improvement over current chips. This is the first HPC chip to enter volume production on 2nm technology.
The Aranet4 Home costs three times what a generic CO2 monitor does, and people who own one swear by it anyway. We dug into why the NDIR sensor, the four-year battery, and the e-ink screen justify the price, and where a cheaper meter is the smarter buy.
