Dell Premium 14 review: New name, same great laptop

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-10 11:00:47

Every now and then companies make truly boneheaded decisions, which is exactly what happened when Dell killed off the name of its most iconic PC line and replaced it with something generic. It's like if Ford decided to rebrand Mustang and call it The Prime Sportscar instead. It doesn't make sense. But now that XPS has become Premium, it's time to see if Dell's latest flagship 14-inch ultraportable — the Dell 14 Premium (you see how dumb that sounds?) — still has the DNA that made its predecessor

This Forgotten '90s Cyberpunk Flick Nailed the Dystopian VR Vibes

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-13 18:45:03

Pull up any list of the ultimate cyberpunk movies and you'll find The Matrix, Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all-but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu.

Alienware’s AW2725Q 4K OLED gaming monitor is down to its lowest price ever at Amazon

If you prefer gaming on a PC instead of consoles, you should hook it up to a display that can support playing games at higher frame rates for a smoother experience.

After a few hours playing the upcoming Battlefield 6, it's clear the game is designed to be a mea culpa to fans: Trust us, we're bringing back the Battlefield you remember. At a massive preview event in Los Angeles, I sat down to play a slice of the game's multiplayer mode -- and came off it suitably whelmed with a mix of raucous moments and tedious deaths.

Andy Walker / Android Authority VLC Player has been my go-to video app for years, dating back to the good ol’ Windows XP days. That loyalty progressed to Android, and I still use it across desktop and mobile for my video content needs. While it remains a powerful product, VLC often feels cumbersome when I crave simplicity.

This dock transforms the Mac mini into a retro classic Mac

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find a tech accessory in 2025 that’s both functional and fun to use. As so many of these accessories become more commoditized, they begin to function and look the same, making them fade into the background. So when I saw the Wokyis Retro Docking Station for the M4 Mac mini, I was immediately intrigued. It transforms the Mac mini into something straight out of 1984. On paper, it had all the functions I needed out of a dock, but it was also such a cool-looking pr
