When one thinks of a gaming laptop, one imagines a big and heavy machine, and most of them are. However, there are a couple of gaming laptops that take the slim route. The HP Omen Transcend 14 is one of them. HP unveiled the laptop at CES 2024, and it's now available in India. It's a relatively slim laptop, but at the same time, it can easily run AAA titles.

The A18 Pro will likely serve as the successor to the A17 Pro and is expected to exclusively power the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which are said to launch later this year. Though we have reported that the SoC will sport a 6-core GPU, which may not translate into graphical performance improvements, we never got around to the CPU cluster, as that information was not available then, and we made our own assumptions. However, one tipster claims that the core configuration will remain unchanged compared to Apple’s previous A-series chipsets, potentially meaning that we may not witness a noteworthy difference between the two silicon generations.
PS Portal owners may have noted that system update 2.0.6 is now available, requiring the usual restart rigamarole.

Leaks have been coming out from some fairly credible sources with a lot of juicy and very specific details about what a hypothetical PS5 Pro could look like.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is currently the game everyone online seems to be playing. Clips of open world insanity proliferate on social media platforms as players get to grips with Capcom's latest genre-defining romp, which was partly to be expected. What took players by surprise, however, was the swathe of seemingly sinister microtransactions that were made available as soon as the single-player, $70 RPG went live, as well as rough technical performance on both PS5 and PC.
There have been two big stories on the ground at GDC this year: Xbox’s flatlining brand and the purpose of the PS5 Pro. Speaking as part of a podcast, GamesIndustry.biz’s well-connected reporter Christopher Dring noted that he didn’t meet a “single person” at the show that understood the point of Sony’s mid-gen upgrade, which is rumoured to release later this year.
The first big update for Dragon's Dogma 2 has landed, with Capcom having promised a slew of improvements earlier in the week. Patch 1.050 is available to download now on PS5, weighing in at 515MB.
Just one weekend removed from the release of Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom has confirmed that it's working on a slew of improvements, which will be coming to the game via free updates. A lot of this stuff seems to be in direct response to player feedback, and includes overall adjustments, additional options, and performance enhancements.
We really liked Dragon’s Dogma 2 in our review, describing it as the “apex of RPG adventuring”. But it appears the enthusiasm has not quite infected everyone yet, as the title’s community is surprisingly divided right now. Obviously, performance issues and those launch day microtransactions aren’t exactly aiding the discourse, but for some eager fans, the issues run deeper.
Helldivers 2 players have reported encountering unsanctioned Super Earth weaponry and equipment in the wild since the game first launched. Almost immediately, players were running into mechs, vehicles, and even an incredibly cool-looking armoured personnel carrier (APC), all thought to be part of Game Master Joel's plan, or at least the testing process. But a new report suggests we might be dealing with a Joel imposter, some unknown individual or individuals masquerading as an Arrowhead developer, with the skills required to get around the game's defences.
Almost 15 years ago, this author received a press kit from Sony Online Entertainment for superhero MMO DC Universe Online on the PS3. Fast-forward to the present day, and the developer – renamed Daybreak Game Company, of course – is still supporting the game, with the free-to-play affair now available to download and play natively on the PS5. That’s three PlayStation console generations of support.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is an amazing open world RPG — we've said as much numerous times in our Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 review. But there's also no getting around just how unoptimized the title is on a technical level. As stressed in our aforementioned review, the game's frame rate can be a problem. Most of the time, it's found hovering between 30 and 45 frames-per-second, which is fine, but it's certainly not the consistent 60fps that you want from a game that's so heavy on action.
There are few things more frustrating than trying to work, game, or stream a movie and experiencing stuttering, pausing, and other unstable behavior due to a dodgy internet connection. Even if your Wi-Fi signal is strong or you’re using a wired connection, you can still experience hiccups due to the irritating phenomenon of packet loss.
Fortnite continues to be one of the most popular games in the world, with a strong competitive scene, and like any competitive game, players want every possible advantage they can get.

Apple Silicon has come a long way, and the company has introduced various versions of its M-series of chips to power Macs and iPads. Last year, the company introduced its latest M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips in the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models that feature advanced computational and graphical performance over the M2 series of chips. According to the latest, it appears that the M3 Max is a standalone chip made of a single die instead of two dies combined, which could have a bigger impact on the performance of the upcoming M3 Ultra chip.
