Alienware 16 Area-51 Review: If Only the Display Was as Fantastic as the Mechanical Keyboard

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-07 15:00:49

The new Area-51 laptop feels like Alienware in a way that its most recent gaming PCs like its mammoth Area-51 desktop have not. The gaming laptop is extra: extra glowy, extra clicky, and all too over the top. The bottom panel sports a massive window where you can peer directly at the fan components. The only way you’d catch a glimpse of the rotating fans and the tint of RGB is if you lift up your laptop as if you were looking for a quarter that rolled under your dresser.

Apple’s AI Ambitions Leave Big Questions Over Its Climate Goals

wired.com Sophie Charara 2025-12-07 14:30:00

Here’s a simple question: Is the current top iPhone better for the environment than the top iPhone was five years ago? Let’s take the iPhone Pro series. If we’re looking at recycled and renewable materials, it’s an easy yes. Compare the iPhone 11 Pro, released in September 2019, with the iPhone 16 Pro, released in September 2024, and there has been good progress—from a few smaller components and packaging to now at more than 25 percent of the whole phone.

theverge.com Sean Hollister 2025-12-07 12:14:58

Epic Games has announced that it’s bringing Fortnite back to iOS in Australia, after the country’s federal court ruled that Apple and Google’s app marketplaces are anticompetitive.
