USB-C cables get no respect. Most people shop for the lowest-priced cable and call it a day under the assumption that they are all the same. They’re not though, and here’s how I weed out the good cables from the bad cables in the review process. For the record, the vast majority of PCWorld’s cable tests are performed on cables I purchased retail, but occasionally, I will accept cables directly from manufacturers to expedite the review process. Our cable reviews are actually physically performed on the cables and are not regurgitated from reading other reviews or reading user-generated reviews ...

A fresh PC usually feels shiny and exciting, except when it comes packed with extra software that you never asked for—like a trial of McAfee’s antivirus software. Inevitably, the evaluation period ends, and with it begins an onslaught of notifications asking you sign up for a paid subscription. Heck, sometimes the reminders begin long before the expiration date. If you’re tired of the harassment, or just want to get back to Windows’ more streamlined built-in protections, here’s how to uninstall McAfee antivirus. Looking for more options?

Ugh, Alienware, you’re killing me here. I’m trying to save up for some new kayak gear, and you’re pushing your OLED ultrawide gaming monitor prices down to the lowest we’ve ever seen. Specifically, Best Buy has the Alienware AW3423DWF, our current pick for the best gaming monitor you can buy, for just $777.77. That’s cheaper than any other retailer, and more than $300 off the $1,099 MSRP. This monitor uses the near-standard 34-inch, 3440×1440 resolution, and 21:9 aspect ratio, a great choice for gamers who want more screen real estate without stepping up to a GPU-punishing 4K resolution. The O...

Wondering what the numbering system for the next-gen AMD CPU you buy for your AM5 system will be called? Me too — frankly the names and numbers for modern CPUs make my head spin. But we have reliable information that the company is going with “Ryzen 9000” as the family name for the upcoming models, widely expected to debut later this year. That’s according to motherboard manufacturers, including Asus, MSI, and now Gigabyte, quoting a report from VideoCardz.com. Asus and MSI simply said their boards will support “AMD’s next-gen CPUs, but Gigabyte specifically stated “Ryzen 9000.” Though the upc...

OLED monitors are the cream of the crop when it comes to gaming, and Samsung makes one of the biggest, widest ones out there. The Odyssey OLED G9 is 49 inches of super-saturated, perfect-black glory, but it doesn’t come cheap, with a regular retail price of $1799. But today Amazon is offering it at one of the best prices we’ve seen yet, just $1099.99, matching a low we saw for a few days last month. In terms of dollars to pixels, it’s probably the best deal on any OLED gaming monitor at the moment. The Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC offers a resolution of 5120×1440 (basically two 27-inch gaming monitor...

When it comes to a lot of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, smaller is better. A mainstream gaming company like Corsair isn’t going to be popping out keyboards without a number row, but this K70 Pro Mini Wireless RGB is about as small as you can find on a store shelf at 60 percent layout. At launch it went for over $150, but today you can pick one up at Amazon for just $63.99. The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless RGB (hoochimama what a mouthful) packs most of the features you’d expect from a high-end board, including high-quality PBT doubleshot keycaps and dual-mode wireless with 2.4GHz dongle for...

Laptops using Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon chips have yet to ship. But PC makers — and you — will now have another option: the Snapdragon X Plus. Think of the Snapdragon X Plus as Qualcomm’s version of the Intel Core i5: It’s based on the same design as the Snapdragon X Elite, the Arm PC processor that Qualcomm has been talking about since last fall. But it’s stripped down, with fewer cores, and without the “turbo” characteristics of its more powerful sibling. On the other hand, Qualcomm still believes that it will compete with and surpass Intel’s latest processors. Qualcomm began talking abou...
