Lenovo would never dare slash 74% off one of its premium laptops on its official website: That kind of discount would damage brand perception and upset customers who paid full price last month. But Amazon operates differently, quietly listing this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 with Intel Core i7-13620H, 40GB RAM, and 1TB SSD for $799, down from $2,999. This isn’t refurbished or open-box merchandise, it’s brand new and it hits an all-time low that makes high-performance computing accessible to people who’ve been priced out of serious laptops. See at Amazon The Intel Core i7-13620H is a significant leap in processing…

Raising friendship is one of many special ways to evolve your Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Some of the Pokémon in Legends: Z-A will only evolve to their next form once they have a high friendship level, but the game doesn’t discretely tell you what increases or decreases the friendship between a trainer and their Pokémon. There are a few obvious methods like leveling up your Pokémon, but there are a few methods that’ll improve your friendship at a faster rate. Here’s how to quickly raise your friendship with your Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. How to raise friendship quickly…

There’s a good variety among the most-played demos from Steam Next, including a few intriguing surprises. The latest edition of Steam Next Fest is over, and Steam has shared its list of the 50 most-played demos from the week-long event. This year’s list was pretty heavy with horror, adventure, RPG, and simulation games. And surprisingly, only a few roguelike and racing titles.One of the most unusual titles was Final Sentence, a battle-royale typing game that has a fatal ending for any player who can’t keep up with the pace. Another title that caught our eye was The Cube, Save Us:…

The highly-anticipated launch of Battlefield 6 has been a success, EA has confirmed. The publisher officially revealed some key numbers from the first-person shooter’s launch, and they all look very positive. Battlefield 6 was very much a make-or-break game for EA, and the beleaguered Battlefield series, but it looks like the first hurdle has been surmounted. According to EA, the game had the “biggest opening ever” in franchise history. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Dyson built its reputation on mastering airflow in vacuum cleaners so jumping into hair dryers might seem like an odd pivot until you realize it’s the exact same engineering challenge. The Supersonic Origin applies that airflow expertise to drying hair faster and with less heat damage than traditional dryers that basically just blast hot air at your head. Right now, Amazon has dropped this powerful tool to $299, down from its usual $419 price, which marks an all-time low for a device that rarely sees discounts. If you’ve been frustrated with frizzy results or spending 20 minutes blow-drying your hair,…

In the original Jurassic Park, scientists at InGen had to work with incomplete DNA sequences of dinosaurs extracted from mosquitoes trapped in amber. Missing portions of the dino DNA sequence were filled in with data from frogs, Dr. Henry Wu explained. The latest Ninja Gaiden game feels similarly constructed: Most of what has made Ninja Gaiden so distinct and awesome since its 2004 3D revival is present in Ninja Gaiden 4, but some of its genetic makeup is clearly extracted from the blood of developer PlatinumGames, the team behind action fare like Bayonetta and Vanquish. The upside of this character-action-game…

Greek mythology has been around for thousands of years and its traditions have inspired artists working in nearly every medium. What brings me joy is that each writer, visual artist, director–or in the case of Hades 2, a team of game developers–can explore a unique vision of the characters and events they choose to highlight. With the sequel to its popular hack-and-slash roguelite Hades, Supergiant Games explores the worlds of Greek gods from the perspective of Melinoe, the princess of the Underworld.As the playable protagonist of Hades 2, Melinoe shows players a new side of life in the Underworld. Unlike…

Just a couple of hours ago, Arc Raiders servers went offline after a weekend of testing. The game hosted a three-day server slam event that included very limited content, and was mainly designed to push servers to their limits and test the game’s infrastructure. At least in terms of raw player numbers, the event has been a success, attracting more players than the extraction shooter has ever seen with any of its previous tests.

Dell has built its reputation on reliable laptops that get the job done and the brand offers an incredibly wide range of options for everyday computing needs. Right now, though, there’s a deal that’s so aggressive it barely seems real: This Dell Vostro which is a 15.6-inch business laptop packed with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, has dropped to $699 from its typical price of $1,699. That’s a 63 percent discount, and honestly, Amazon is likely operating at zero margin here or possibly even taking a loss. This wasn’t even close to happening during last week’s Prime Day, which…
