Though the Steam Deck has been imitated by major PC industry players like Lenovo, Asus, Acer, and MSI, the most interesting variations typically come from smaller manufacturers. OneXPlayer is one such example, recently showing off some fascinating retro handheld designs. But what caught my eye this morning is something much, much bigger. The OneXPlayer X1 Pro has been around for a while, boasting a massive 11-inch tablet-sized screen, detachable controllers, and a fold-down keyboard in the box.

Peter Parker is used to getting the short end of the stick. But even so, it’s surprising to see a huge, high-profile game like Spider-Man 2 get taken down a peg. While Sony’s system-seller was “Steam Deck Verified” when it got its PC launch back in late January, it’s now marked as just “Playable” on its official store page.

Okay, bargain hunters, settle in. This is probably the best deal I’ve seen on a Windows laptop all year. Right now, eBay is selling the HP EliteBook 845 G8—already a budget design—for just $325. That gets you 16GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5 processor, 512GB of storage, and a 14-inch screen. It’s just about impossible to beat for the price. There’s one fly in this ointment, though. The laptop is refurbished and it’s being sold by a third-party seller on eBay.

Affordable laptops are hard to find, and they might get a lot harder to find very soon. So, when I spotted a Dell Inspiron model with a big touchscreen and 16GB of RAM, I knew I had to post it. Best Buy is offering just that today, and only today, with a $250 discount. That brings the final price of the Inspiron 15 down to just $549.99.

"Hey I've been claiming I'm gonna do this thing for months, and also I've admitted I can't control millions of bots. But I'm gonna make a poll to pretend it was somehow not my decision. "See, I'm not enabling violence and hatred, my users are!"
The dash clock in my car was one of the last ones in my life that couldn't automatically adjust itself for time zone or daylight savings changes. Apparently that's now fixed with some combination of GPS, mobile signal, and Android Auto. All eyes on you, microwave.
