Microsoft is making a pitch to buy a new PC before Windows 10's support lifecycle expires, and ASUS is echoing the same sentiment. But what if all you really need to give your PC a jolt is some fast, new storage? Then you're in luck. Forget about tariffs and supply shortages and everything else—there are still compelling deals to be found on speedy solid state drives (SSDs).

ASUS has a message for Windows 10 users and it's similar to the one Microsoft has been shouting from a mountaintop for the past several months (and longer): Your days are numbered.

Yes, it's a pricier investment than a shirt or tie (or both), but he's worth it, right? This author might be a little biased.

Don't expect Qualcomm to pump the brakes as it accelerates further into laptop and desktop form factors with its Snapdragon X silicon. Just the opposite, Qualcomm has stated time and again that it plans on expanding its Windows on Snapdragon initiative, and so it's likely no coincidence that a reputable leaker has posted details about an upcoming Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. To be clear, no such chip officially exists, at least not yet.

Forget the ‘Hall of Fame’ difficulty setting in @NBA2K, if you want a real challenge, try the interactive cat mode. Not only are the controls trickier, but every turnover and bad shot is accompanied by a disapproving glare. Might be an @Xbox exclusive, not sure. https://t.co/6DThI0OF92
