    Intel’s Core processors have long been the overwhelming favorite amongst PC gamers when compared to AMD’s alternatives. AMD’s chips have impressive specs of their own, and have been shown to outperform Intel’s hardware under certain circumstances, but unlocked i7 processors from Intel are still the go-to for overclockers and enthusiasts.

    Lenovo's Y520 and Y720 laptops launch new 'Legion' brand of gaming hardware
    It looks like Lenovo’s toe-dip in the gaming laptop market has been successful enough to make the company’s gaming aspirations more permanent. Announced at CES on Tuesday, Lenovo’s gaming laptops have been spun off to a “Legion” sub-brand—which is definitely more fitting than the “IdeaPad” designation of the 2016 models. The new Y520 and Y720 models will be the first to bear the Legion name. Lenovo The laptops include the obligatory under-the-hood tune ups one would expect of a 2017 upda..

  • Hands on: Dell turns the XPS 13 into a 2-in-1

    Hands on: Dell turns the XPS 13 into a 2-in-1
