This is a lot of laptop for not very much money. To start with, you’re getting a 10-core, 16-thread CPU that will easily cope with pretty much any game you throw at it. There’s an RTX 4060 Mobile graphics chip too, that supports DLSS upscaling and frame generation. The storage is a bit disappointing, and you’ll probably want to upgrade it at some point with a large SSD. For portable gaming and school work, though, this Gigabyte G5 laptop will keep you and your wallet happy.

RPG fans out there are really getting their fill this year, and it looks like 2023 might be going out with a bang. The release date trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has just dropped, and—barring any unexpected delays—we’ll be getting our hands on Owlcat Games’ latest RPG on December 7.
With the huge success of Baldur’s Gate 3 (an RPG with turn-based combat, based on one of the most popular tabletop roleplaying games in the world), Rogue Trader (an RPG with turn-based combat, based on one of the most popular wargames in the world) might grab the attention of a few more people than it would have if released earlier.
Speaking with Polygon, Alexander Mishulin, creative director at Owlcat, pointed out that “Baldur’s Gate 3’s success is very encouraging” and that Larian is “renewing a lot of passion” for RPGs. With the undeniable impact of other RPGs as well this year like Starfield and Diablo 4, Rogue Trader is in a good position to reach fur…
World of Warcraft celebrates its 20th year in 2024, and the head of the franchise says there is one big thing the company could have done better: listen to its players.
Holly Longdale joined the WoW team to work on WoW Classic in 2020 after a long stint on EverQuest and EverQuest 2. She swiftly became the lead for all WoW titles and now she’s the VP and executive producer for the series. Her era at the company has been marked by three things: a lot more in-game content, a lot more transparency on what’s coming when, and a lot more adherence to deadlines.
I asked her, looking back over the game’s history both before and after she joined the company, what the one thing she might change would be.
“I think I’ll talk about this with the lens of [experiencing] a large part of the journey as a player, and a recent journey as a very humble and lucky leader on this team,” she said. “I think we should have listened more to the player base.”
WoW executives have always h…
World of Warcraft: The War Within is bringing a whole ton of neat changes to the game—changes like the Warband system, which have been packaged early into the expansion’s pre-patch. There’ve been some slight glitches so far, like Warband banks being disabled, but it’s otherwise a massive quality-of-life boost to the MMO.
When logging in for the first time, your existing characters will be converted to the new system—but seems to have had an unintended side effect. Characters might be coming back from the dead, clawing their way out of the deletion graveyard.
After a couple of player reports on the WoW subreddit and forums citing “characters I’ve never made before” jumpscaring players on their character selection lists, I decided to hop in myself. What do you know—a Shaman on a different server that I’m pretty sure I’d deleted was staring me straight in the face.
I only say “pretty sure”, because the character name was accompanied by a l…
If you’re a Wordle player, you may want to check out a new daily puzzle being tested this week at The New York Times. This puzzle is about numbers, not letters—but perhaps hoping to strike gaming gold again, the color scheme will look very familiar to Wordle players.
Yep, the beta of the new game features that same alluring shade of green that Wordle uses to let you know you’ve gotten a letter in the right place. After a year or so of playing Wordle I feel like I’ve been trained to get a little rush from seeing that color. Smart move, NYT! You’ve already got me hooked.
The new daily number puzzle game is called, appropriately enough, Digits, and the rules are pretty simple to grasp. You’ve given a target number, along with six other numbers you need to combine to reach that target. You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide those six numbers as you attempt to reach the target, and you don’t need to use all the numbers to solve the puzzl…
Stocks in Focus: GIFT Nifty traded flat at 19,862.5 down merely 0.01%, indicating a tepid opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Friday. Previously, on Thursday, the NSE Nifty 50 ended down by 9.85 points or 0.05% to settle at 19,802.00, while the BSE Sensex ended flat, down merely 5.43 points or 0.01% to 66,017.81.
“Markets were extremely lacklustre on the back of thin volumes. It looks like a lot of capital has been making its way into the IPO market over the last few days, and investors including retail ones don’t want to miss the bus. Once the current IPO rush is over, we may see investors returning to secondary markets, provided there are no major hiccups in global markets. The good news is that the short-term technical outlook for Nifty continues to be in favor of the bulls. Technically, Nifty needs to reclaim the 19,889 mark to unleash fresh upside, while support is placed at 19,471 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senio…
