Gaming Laptops Have a Secret Weapon Against Desktop PCs, and It Looks a Lot Like the Switch 2

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-07-21 19:00:37

I want a future where we don’t need a desktop PC to get the best gaming graphics. Maybe I’m a dreamer who needs to keep on dreaming, but I think that that pie-in-the-sky wonderland is closer to reality than you may think, and all PC component makers need to do is hop on the eGPU train. Better yet, they need to make something that’s as easily dockable as a Switch 2, but with the added power of a discrete graphics card that could push a laptop or gaming handheld into a full desktop experience.

The Pigeon River Is Perched, Which Is Geologically Bad News (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Philip Prince 2025-07-19 06:31:27

A reader of the Nantahala Gorge post asked a very relevant question: Is there a stream capture in the Appalachians that is going to happen soon? While “soon” can be a very relative term in geology, there is most definitely a good answer to the question. At Canton, North Carolina, the headwaters of Hominy Creek, a French Broad River tributary, are VERY close to capturing the Pigeon River. In human terms, this is still probably a long way off, but it is most certainly geologically “imminent.” The

During college, my class was instructed to study Schopenhauer in political philosophy. Complete bummer, pessimist, the guy just makes you want to kill yourself. There was one quote about him though that really opened my eyes. Schopenhauer's philosophy is the mirror of his own nature... What he saw was not the world, but himself writ large." Nietzsche Schopenhauer basically talked about himself. Not the world. His prior conclusions on how the world works influenced his work. However, you and

This Killer Dell 14 Plus Deal Changed My Opinion of the Laptop

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-07-23 23:13:02

When I first reviewed the Dell 14 Plus (6/10, WIRED Review), my main criticism was over the price. At the time, the only configuration available had a terabyte of storage and cost $1,099. That hurt its appeal to me, especially since it would be a more attractive sub-$1,000 laptop if Dell were selling a 512-GB option. But what if that 1-TB model was significantly discounted? Well, that changes everything. The 14 Plus is just $700 right now, directly from Dell, down $400 from its retail price. It

LG Gram Pro 16 (2025) Review: Thin Is Still In

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-07-31 20:00:00

Last year’s LG Gram Pro 17 was a classic study in laptop compromise. Incredibly thin and light, it was a veritable marvel of engineering that weighed in at half the heft of a typical 17-inch notebook. On the other hand, it was an unstable performance dud that ran so hot it nearly burnt the hair off my legs. The compromise scales ultimately tipped against the Gram Pro in 2024, but I’ll give credit to LG for staying the course and continuing to iterate on this design, and fixing many of the flaws
