Dell, besides announcing the XPS M2010, also unveiled today the redesigned XPS 700 gaming desktop. This system starts at $2,310 and looks to be available now, with a special-edition formula red also available in the Americas and starting at $2,410.

The XPS 700, said Dell, now supports Nvidia Quad-SLI graphics, Ageia PhysX physics accelerators and the latest Intel dual-core processors. It sports an aluminum chassis which Dell says is inspired by jet engine and muscle car designs and includes features such as customizable lighting. Do-it-yourself customers can also purchase a kit including only the XPS 700 chassis, motherboard, memory and processor. They can then install their own components and software for a more personalized gaming experience.

Lenovo’s new 14-inch gaming laptop beats the ROG G14 in one key way

The Legion Slim 5 14 on a desk with peripherals on it.

The ROG Zephyrus G14 has been a fan-favorite 14-inch gaming laptop these past few years, even with many recent competitors in the space. Lenovo's new Legion Slim 5 14, though, has one major advantage of the G14. Its screen.

The Legion Slim 5 14, now in its eighth generation, is receiving a major upgrade in its display, moving from a standard IPS to a 120Hz OLED. This more advanced panel technology can, of course, produce unbeatable contrast, thanks to the individually-lit pixels. At a max of 400 nits, the HDR performance in games should look rather nice too.
