HP isn’t unveiling anything groundbreaking in these two new models, but both are equipped with wireless connectivity, allowing you to control them via a smartphone, tablet, or PC sans wires; scan and send to a mobile device; print to the machines from anywhere as long as they’re connected to the Internet; and get news and coupons sent to the printers via the HP Printables feature.

The printers have a compact design ideal for home use. Both machines offer duplex printing, great for drafts and saving money and resources. Print speed is rated at 9 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 5 ppm in color. Users have the option of using high-capacity ink cartridges, but when your ink runs out you can use HP’s Instant Ink subscription service for easy replenishment.

HP All-in-One desktop computers just got a fantastic price cut at Staples

HP all-in-one touch desktop pc.

One of the easiest ways to set up a home computer, whether you want to work from a home office, browse social media, or play some games, is to grab a premade system. There are so many desktop computer deals live at a given time, that you can always find something to match your interests.

For example, Staples is offering a fantastic deal right now on HP's All-in-One Desktop Computers. Everything is built into the monitor, which also opens up new placement opportunities. You don't need the extra room for a tower so you can put it just about anywhere. The Staples deal is good for the HP 24-inch 24-dd1006, which includes an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. It's $600 with free shipping and delivery, which is $60 off.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one

AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600

Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.
