Yesterday, Blizzard revealed new looks for Widowmaker, Reaper, McCree, and Pharah. On top of this, it also revealed some gameplay changes to the characters from the first game who are back for the sequel. And right now, it sounds like Reinhardt is getting re-worked more than a...

Blizzard revealed a bunch of new Overwatch 2 information during BlizzConline 2021, both regarding PvP and the new PvE Hero Missions.

12:41 All Specs The use of carbon fiber instead of aluminum, magnesium, or plastic is a rare but not unprecedented thing for ultraportable laptops. Its the namesake, after all, of Lenovos award-winning ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and part of the popular Dell XPS 13. VAIO would like to point out that it pioneered the practice with its X505 in 2003, and the company says its taken it to the next level with the 2021 reincarnation of its flagship VAIO Z. This 14-inch notebook is made out of contoured car...

14:54 All Specs Though it launched way back in 2019, the Surface Pro 7 remains the most recent main entry in Microsofts line of hit detachable 2-in-1s. To ease the wait for a new full-blown release, and to serve a different audience, the Surface masters updated the device with the Surface Pro 7+ for Business (starts at $899.99; $1,499.99 as tested). This version includes updated components (chiefly, newer 11th Generation Intel processors) and some professional-focused features like a removabl...

All Specs Dell’s Precision 3240 Compact (starts at $839; $3,047 as tested) is a mini desktop workstation for space-conscious professionals. About the size of a thick hardcover book, it features up to a 10-core Intel Xeon processor and Nvidia Quadro RTX-class graphics for performance that can rival that of larger towers. It also offers good end-user serviceability, VESA mounting options, and a standard three-year warranty. It’s an excellent, if not necessarily superior, alternative to HP’...

All Specs When we reviewed the $799.99 HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One last year, we declared it the all-in-one PC for the rest of us, for whom a spendy Apple iMac is out of reach. If a 24-inch model at $800 is for the rest of us, then the HP All-in-One 22 is the all-in-one PC for all of us. (Models start at $399.99, with our 22-dd0010 test configuration coming in at $429.99.) This entry-level all-in-one offers a leaner price and a smaller display than its 24-inch sibling. The low price levies its ...

8:59 All Specs Chromebooks dont have a monopoly on cheap. The Asus VivoBook 11 ($309 as tested) targets budget notebook buyers who want maximum affordability and portability but insist on Windows. Its puny 11.6-inch screen makes it compact and light—its only 2.2 pounds—and its adequate for word processing, web browsing, and email. But its sluggish, with just half the memory and one-quarter the storage of a good inexpensive laptop. Most users will be happier with the quicker response of a ...

8:36 All Specs Refreshed for 2021, MSI’s GS66 Stealth ($2,699 as tested) now has Nvidias "Ampere" GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics to boost to frame rates. Our test model also brings a special treat we expect to see in more and more gaming machines as the year goes on: a brand-new 240Hz QHD G-Sync display that takes gaming visuals to the next level. The GS66s sturdy build and per-key RGB keyboard continue to impress, though this isnt the fastest gamer on the block. Despite an eight-core Inte...

Only slightly heavier Spectre x360 14 has bigger panel, 3:2 aspect ratio The HP Spectre x360 14 we tested at the very start of 2021 impressed us so much we began our review by saying, "HP still sells the Spectre x360 13, but you can forget about it." At the risk of eating our words, the latest Spectre x360 13 (starts at $962.49; $1,262.49 as tested) isnt totally forgettable if youre looking for a small and light convertible laptop. Sure, it lacks the taller 3:2 screen aspect ratio that helped i...
