Upgrade your Steam Deck to a 1TB SSD for $86

2 days ago | pcworld.com | Michael Crider

Every time I install an M.2 storage drive, I’m gobsmacked at how small and light it is. Even compared to the 2.5-inch SSDs from a few years ago, it’s practically immaterial. And the tiniest 2230-format drives, the kind that go in the Steam Deck and the lightest laptops, are even tinier. Today you can pick up a 1TB version from Crucial for just $85.73.
Logitech's MX Ergo and M575 trackballs get quieter click models

As a filthy nerd who’s written thousands of articles from the solitude of my home office, I don’t really have to worry about how loud my PC accessories are. But at least in concept, I can respect the idea of choosing your mouse with an eye (or ear) to your coworkers. Such is the case with Logitech’s new MX Ergo S and M575S trackballs, which get the same quiet-click upgrades as other S variants.
Watch Geekom beat the ever-loving crap out of its own mini PC

2 days ago | pcworld.com | Michael Crider

One of the things I miss about covering smartphones is the designated “rugged” phone models, like Samsung’s Galaxy Active series and whatever weird phone is using the Caterpillar license this year. There’s just something satisfying about a gadget that can take more pounding than an inappropriate simile. Today, mini PC vendor Geekom is giving me a little of that old fun back.

2 days ago | pcworld.com | Gabriela Vatu

Regular power strips are great and all, but it’s time to upgrade because this Anker model is what every modern home craves. And now that it’s only $50 (down from $66), it’s a good time to snag one. I’m talking about the Anker Nano 6-in-1 Charging Station, which is kind of like a miniature power strip except it also has some USB ports built into it.
Samsung's 27-inch 4K monitor is down to its best price ever: $235

2 days ago | pcworld.com | Gabriela Vatu

If you’re still using an older model monitor, it’s high time you upgrade because 1080p just doesn’t cut it anymore. Especially not when you can get this 27-inch Samsung 4K monitor for a mere $235, which is a whopping 48% off its original $450 price. At 27 inches, Samsung’s ViewFinity S8 monitor is sized just right for the usual home office—not too large to hurt your neck, not too small to feel cramped.

Windows 10 gets an extra year of free security updates (with a catch)

3 days ago | pcworld.com | Michael Crider

For a long time, there’s been a Sword of Damocles hanging over the PC users who didn’t want to give up Windows 10, no matter how much Microsoft begged them to upgrade to 11 and/or buy a new laptop. As the countdown to October kept ticking, we were wondering if Microsoft would relent for millions of users in no mood to change. As it turns out, they have…with some quid pro quos. To be clear, this isn’t exactly a reprieve for Windows 10.
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5050 is official: 8GB, $250, coming in July

3 days ago | pcworld.com | Michael Crider

“Affordable graphics card” seems like something of an oxymoron these days. But after six months after the launch of the RTX 5000 series, Nvidia finally has one that broadly fits into that category. The GeForce RTX 5050 is now official, in both desktop and laptop flavors. The former is an 8GB card, the same as the RTX 5060, and will land at $250 when it launches next month. The Blackwell-series card is a notable step downward from the 5060, which only makes sense.
