The XMG 14 Evo (Е25) can be described as a compact and light workstation if you configure it with more RAM and a Ryzen 9 CPU. The cooling is capable, and it allows impressively high clocks even in 3D rendering. The perfect upgradability and the surprisingly solid port selection make this compact laptop easy to recommend.

Chieftec's The Cube is the third offering of its cuboid line-up, which first saw the light of day nearly a decade ago. While the first two were aimed at gamers and professionals, The Cube mimics the design of a speaker, to fit into a living room or audiophile setups. But will a case with this kind of history still live up to the needs and requirements of the modern user?

The V2 is the first case from the brand that really feels like APNX is coming into its own in terms of design and functionality. Equipped with three glass panes and sporting four 140 mm fans and a controller, it already checks off most boxes. But the unique interior layout is the star of the show. All this at a price point that seems too good to pass up.

The Chieftec VEGA M 850 W offers plenty of performance for all your GPU needs. As expected for a ATX 3.1 PSU, it comes with native support for the 16-pin GPU power connector and all cables are modular.

After a massive price cut, NZXT's snazzy flagship Z890 board seems impossible to resist and will now leave you with change from $250. However, it's still not quite a complete package so is it cheap enough to finally overlook its shortcomings?

VR puzzle adventure Tin Hearts will bring its first act to Quest in February.

Developed by Rogue Sun and IPHIGAMES, Tin Hearts is a Lemmings-style game that explores the story of a fictional Victorian inventor, Albert Butterworth. Guiding toy soldiers through this Dickensian world with block-based puzzles, VR support arrived in a post-launch update on PS VR2 and Steam last year. Originally targeting a December 11 launch, that's now been delayed to February 12, 2026.

Detailed in a press release, publisher Wired Productions calls Act 1 a standalone episode where these tiny soldiers are appropriately dressed for the festive season in an attic filled with toys. Costing $5.99 for the first part, the publisher previously stated Acts 2, 3, and 4 will follow “in the coming weeks” on Quest. No specific release dates have been confirmed yet.

Originally released through a now delisted PC VR prologue on PC VR in 2018, we had positive impressions in our Tin Hearts VR preview two years ago. Stating it offers “some well-considered mechanics” that caught our attention, we believed it provides “enjoyable puzzles and an intriguing whimsical setting.”

Tin Hearts is out now in full on flatscreen platforms, PS VR2, and PC VR. Act 1 arrives on the Meta Quest platform on February 12, 2026.
