Minisforum G1 Pro review: The perfect mini PC for ditching your console
The Minisforum G1 Pro isn’t your typical mini PC. Instead, it feels like a true small form factor (SFF) rig thanks to its internal, desktop-grade power supply and its dedicated GPU.

The 9 best ways to protect, customize, and accessorize your MacBook Neo
The MacBook Neo is poised to be a top-selling laptop in 2026, thanks in large part to its affordable $599 entry price.
