The Alienware M15 and M17 have been premier gaming flagships for quite a few years. Then, the X15 and X17 launched last year as lighter, slimmer looks into the future.
Now, the family has grown by one, along with a powerful graphics-boosting concept shown off at CES 2022.
Dell’s XPS 13 has been one of the best laptops on the market for years, and it follows a tried-and-true formula. It’s light, slim, and the bezels are almost nonexistent. Of course, the XPS 13 has always had plenty of power, too. Now, Dell has introduced a new entry in the line as part of its CES 2022 showcase.

Antivirus Android apps remain one of the most popular types of applications on Android. Generally, you don’t need an antivirus app if you play it safe, only download apps from the Play Store, and keep your security settings enabled. However, there are those who like to take a walk on the wild side and not do those things. There are a ton of really bad antivirus apps out there. Even if these apps aren’t necessary, it’s good to know the safe ones that don’t suck. Here are the best antivirus apps and anti-malware apps for Android. All prices are current as of January 2021.
One final thing to note is that a lot of antivirus apps on Android do literally nothing or do a very bad job. Here’s a study that AV-Comparatives conducted with additional information about how effective some antivirus apps actually are. We recommend checking out that list before making any choices so you can help yourself make the right one.
Acer unveiled three new Chromebooks at CES 2022, refreshing its existing mid-range and premium portfolio with the latest chips from Intel and Mediatek. Notably, the most powerful model of the trio is powered by Mediatek’s Kompanio 1380 processor.
While we’ve seen several Chromebooks feature Mediatek processors so far, they’ve all traded performance for a lower price point — typically targeting the sub-$400 market. The updated Acer Chromebook Spin 513 looks to be an exception and is among the first to adopt Mediatek’s performance-oriented processors.
We have Android app lists for many, many topics. After all, people use their Android devices for a ton of different things. Many of these apps are pretty mainstream, while others are very niche. These niche apps work exceptionally well, but only for the few people who actually need them.
Anybody can write a list of weird apps that do nothing. This list pays an ode to the wonderful niche apps that actually work really well should you find yourself in a position to actually use one. We fully intend to do multiple volumes of these to continue to show off some of the Play Store’s more unusual apps.
Towards the end of 2021, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed there would not be a T-series phone in the OnePlus 9 series. However, he must have only meant flagship phone because the company did release a T-series model in its native China.
That phone is the OnePlus 9RT, a weird subtle riff on the India-exclusive OnePlus 9R. Now, the company is gearing up to bring the 9RT to India.
Opting for a free VPN for Android or any other device isn’t always a great idea. Some providers have bad intentions and will sell your personal info or your browsing history (or both) to the highest bidder. That’s why we always recommend paying a few bucks per month for a reputable VPN service.
However, a few trustworthy VPN providers offer free plans, but they have quite a few limitations in place. Almost all of them give you a monthly data allowance, and some even automatically select the location for you. If that doesn’t bother you, a free virtual private network may be a good option for you.
