Dell might have gotten exclusive dibs on AMD Ryzen Threadripper, but that isn’t stopping Acer from teaming up with Intel to create an 18-core monster. To cool this beast, the Acer Predator Orion 9000 features an all-in-one liquid cooling solutions. The Acer Predator Orion 9000 gaming desktop will arrive this December with prices starting at $1,999 (about £1,550, AU$2,510) – which is surprisingly low given that Intel’s 18-core processor would account for more than half the cost.

Bethesda’s Creation Club, a system of curated and paid-for mods announced earlier this summer, has now gone live for Fallout 4 on the PC, as well as the Xbox One and PS4. For its part, Bethesda argues that free mods are still available as before, it’s just the content in this particular club which you have to pay for. In other words, it’s a case of you pays your money, or you don’t – a two-tier mod system is now in operation, with free mods in one lane, and Bethesda’s curated paid-for mods in th

Dell has a new Max-Q version of its already impressive Inspiron Gaming Laptop which can be equipped with a 4K screen. The refreshed Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming laptop sticks with Intel’s Kaby Lake quad-core processors (up to a Core i7-7700HQ with a boost to 3.8GHz), but ups the ante on the GPU front with a fully-fledged GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of video memory. However, as we found in our review of the previous Inspiron 15 Gaming, this notebook does better than most of the competition out there. Th

At least that’s what Elton John claimed, despite the fact he’d never been in a rocket*. However, perhaps he’d actually had a 45 years early, sneak peek at Audi’s virtual cockpit, because now I’m humming the same tune. Impressed by the clarity and simplicity of operation of the virtual cockpit, my eyes were drawn back to the road – handy really – but I wasn’t without tech in my eye line. Heads upAs well as the optional virtual cockpit (yours for £250), the A5 Coupe also had Audi’s HUD (head’s up

From one such advertisement spotted by Gadgets Now, we have come to know that both the Vivo V7 and V7+ will feature 24 MP Selfie cameras. So, apparently, it seems that the Vivo V7 and V7+ are going to set a benchmark for selfie-oriented mobiles. Vivo V7, V7+ Specifications [Expected]The specs of the Vivo V7 and V7+ are not out yet and we just have some faint assumptions about them. Software-wise, the Vivo V7 and V7+ will run Android Nougat out of the box. As mentioned before, the Vivo V7 and V7+

Thinner and more powerful than ever, the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming mixes a blend of capabilities and affordability.

Over at PAX West, Logitech has revealed a pair of new gaming peripherals in the form of a nifty-sounding wireless mechanical keyboard and partner wireless mouse. Nestling under the Logitech G brand, the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a smart new concept that gives you the tactile feel of a mechanical keyboard with freedom of movement granted by cutting the cord, yet should remain as responsive as a traditional wired keyboard. You also get Romer-G mechanical switc

Remember Pokemon Go, the augmented reality mobile sensation that defined summer 2016? AMC and developer Next Game have announced The Walking Dead: Our World, a location-based augmented reality title for iOS and Android. You’re objective, according to TechCrunch, is to rescue survivors from The Walking Dead. Just like Pokemon Go, The Walking Dead: Our World imposes digital images onto the real world. The Walking Dead: Our World is “coming soon.”

While many flocked to BlackBerry phones because of their tactile QWERTY keyboards, those who prefer the sleek feel of touchscreens may perk up at the next BlackBerry handset in the pipeline. TCL, the manufacturer now in charge of the BlackBerry brand, has plans to release a companion device to the BlackBerry KeyOne. That’s right: the new, touchscreen-only BlackBerry phone has a release planned for sometime in October. Still, the new BlackBerry phone will occupy the higher end of the spectrum com

Amazon has one of the best deals on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus right now, as a number of other sellers have ended long-running sale prices. This summer has seen a lot of price cuts for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, with one of the best being $150 off, bringing the prices to $574 for a Galaxy S8 and $674 for a Galaxy S8 Plus. Now Amazon has this deal going for the unlocked Midnight Black version of the 64GB Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. And for the Galaxy S8, that’s verging on half the price

Misfit’s first foray into a full-fledged smartwatch, the Misfit Vapor, has hit a slight snag. Originally planned for a release before the end of September, the fitness tracker firm announced that its Android Wear 2.0-powered wearable will instead release in October, reports The Verge. Unveiled during CES 2017, the Misfit Vapor features a 1.39-inch round AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, 4GB of storage, 400mAh battery and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity. In addition to specs, th

The latest barrage of blows happened this morning when Amazon added multi-room audio support to the Alexa app, allowing you to group Amazon Echo devices together – a move that effectively copies Sonos’ greatest strength. Sonos quite obviously desires the voice control functionality that Amazon Echo has, while Amazon wants the multi-room playback functionality that Sonos had. But there’s a caveat: The multi-room music feature is only available in three countries at the moment: the US, the UK and

The Amazon Echo smart speaker in black is listed as “currently unavailable” on Amazon for the first time we’ve seen outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. A check of Amazon UK shows the Amazon Echo in stock in both colors, so this isn’t a global pulling of the device. Namely, is an out-of-stock Amazon Echo a sign the online retail giant is preparing to launch the Amazon Echo 2? Then yesterday, as Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods was finalized, shoppers noticed Amazon Echo and Echo Dot spea

From music to live TV, YouTube has come a long way in the twelve years since it launched. Starting today, YouTube is rolling out changes to its user interface, along with a new logo designed to keep the ‘tube brand legible across both desktop and mobile. Speaking of desktop, the non-mobile version of YouTube is also getting a Material Design makeover for an overall cleaner, smoother look. One way overdue bonus of this new design is the “Dark Theme,” which turns the stark white background of the

This preview initiative rolls up the augmented reality learnings of Google Tango and will offer similar AR smarts to a much broader selection of Android devices soon, without requiring extra hardware. In terms of possible phones you’ll see it on, Google says it’s working with Samsung, Huawei, LG, Asus and more to get ARCore up and running. But as for how you’ll experience ARCore first, you’ll need to own the Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy S8. How ARCore is and isn’t different from TangoInteresti

“We introduce a smart microvehicle for precise autonomous navigation in complicated and dynamically changing environments through optimal path planning. Similar to their large vehicle counterparts, the autonomous navigation of microvehicles entails collision-free movement in dynamic environments.” A camera scans the maze, and sends the data to an image processor which identifies obstacles and creates a map. Finally, the AI sends its route to a magnetic field generator, which actually steers the

Well, it seems like a new budget option could soon be in the cards thanks to a leak which shows a notebook equipped with an Nvidia GeForce 1040 graphics solution. Currently, options for Nvidia GPUs run from the beefy GeForce 1080 down to the 1050, but a GeForce 1040 was spotted (via Liliputing) on a Polish retailer’s product page for a Lenovo laptop (which hasn’t yet been taken down at the time of writing). The Lenovo IdeaPad 320S in question runs with the latest Intel 8th-gen processors and a G
