As its name implies, the Bolt II Battlebox Titan Z is stuffed with an Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Z dual-GPU graphics card. Simply put, it’s one of the most powerful graphics cards on the market today. However, it’s not the most powerful one out there. That crown goes to AMD’s Radeon R9 295X2, which also costs half ($1,500) of what the Titan Z ($3,000) goes for. So, keep that in mind.

Aside from the Titan Z, the Bolt II Battlebox Titan Z also ships with an overclocked Intel Core i7-4970K CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD paired with a 1TB mechanical hard drive by default. Of course, you can swap out any of these components if you prefer to cut corners in some or all of these areas. In fact, if we were to get one of these, we’d go for 8GB of RAM instead, which slices about $100 off the $4,997 as-configured price. 8GB is more than enough to handle almost any task you throw at this machine. 16GB is overkill.

Powering all of this is a 700-watt power supply, while the CPU gets sweat wiped off its brow courtesy of a liquid cooling system. You can opt for one of a few paint jobs, including red, blue, white, and black. There’s also Copperhead, but Digital Storm’s site says that it is currently back-ordered.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage
Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
