A new Alien: Earth trailer has finally shown a xenomorph on earth — and there’s a quite horrible shot of a sheep with a serious eye problem.

The upcoming FX show revolves around the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot, which crash-lands on earth. Wendy (Sydney Chandler) and a group of tactical soldiers make a “fateful discovery” that puts them face-to-face with the xenomorph fans know well, but also a number of other alien species, too.

Let’s start with the final shot in the new trailer, below, which reveals Alien: Earth’s xenomorph quietly contemplating its fate from within what may be a crater formed by the crashed ship. This is not the kind of place we’re used to seeing the Alien franchise’s famous xenomorphs. Across the mainline films, we mostly see xenomorphs ripping humans (and the odd synthetic) to shreds aboard spaceships. Alien: Earth, however, asks the question: what if a xenomorph came to earth? I suspect things won’t go well.

As the world waits for Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar has finally released GTA 5 and GTA Online in both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Despite launching almost 12 years ago and selling 215 million copies elsewhere in the world, neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE had previously cleared Rockstar's 2013 blockbuster for sale — until this week.

Issues over the game's age rating and local regulations banning games with violence, sex and drug use have long stood in the way of local fans playing GTA 5 legally — though as a Niko Partners report highlighted, some fans have previously got around restrictions by quietly importing boxed copies, or downloading the game via PlayStation or Xbox accounts linked to other regions.

Now, fans can simply buy a copy of GTA 5 legally, which has finally been released under the two countries' new 21+ age rating. The launch of this higher age restriction, following the earlier introduction of localised age ratings in 2016, has helped smooth GTA 5's belated path to release — alongside a bit of help from Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive to grease the wheels.

A recently-agreed partnership between Take-Two and a Saudi firm, the Advanced Initiative Company, will see the latter now act as the local distributor for all Take-Two titles, including GTA 5, WWE 2K, NBA 2K and Red Dead Redemption.

The countries, with a combined population of around 44 million, will presumably now also become a market in which Rockstar can sell GTA 6, when it finally arrives.

After more than a decade in development and a recent major delay, GTA 6 is currently set to launch on May 9, 2026, pending any further hold-ups.

Hands up if you remember Captain Planet and the Planeteers? The early 90s American animated environmentalist superhero television series is fondly remembered by a generation of kids who absorbed its eco-friendly message — and toys.

Now, 30 years later, it’s coming back as a live-action series for Netflix.

Variety reported that Captain Planet and the Planeteers is on its way to being adapted into a live-action series at Netflix, with Greg Berlanti and Leonardo DiCaprio as executive producers. Netflix declined to comment.

Peter Connelly, a composer and sound designer best known for his work on the Tomb Raider series, has been jailed for "fraudulently obtaining" a loan from the UK government during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement from the UK's Insolvency Service, Durham-based Connelly was said to have obtained a legitimate $29,500 (£22,000) government "Bounce Back" loan, and then again a month later for $50,000 (£37,500) at a different bank, even though businesses were only entitled to one such loan. Connelly was also found to have "deliberately inflated" his company's financial position during the first few months of the pandemic in 2020, reporting a turnover of $201,500 (£150,00) in 2019 when it was, in fact, $77,900 (£58,00).

In interviews with the Insolvency Service, Connelly stated that he had been given the opportunity to reimagine the music for the Tomb Raider soundtrack, describing it as a "significant project which had the potential to be very lucrative." He reportedly took out personal loans and sold his car to finance the work, but that "stalled" at the start of the pandemic. By August 2021, Connelly's company, Peter Connelly Limited, had gone into liquidation.

1. Launch Dead Spells on Roblox
2. When you log into a server, go straight ahead past the water fountain.
3. Then, look for the blue lizard wearing a monacle near the noticeboard. It will say Enter Codes above it
4. Approach the lizard and interact with it to enter codes
5. Enter the code into the box and hit claim

How to Get More Dead Spells Codes

We check for new codes every day, so the best way to find out about the latest Dead Spells code is to save this article and keep checking back. You can also hunt for codes in the dediated Discord server, where codes are also announced.

Why Isn't My Dead Spells Code Working?

If your code for Dead Spells isn't working, it's likely for one of two reasons:

1. The code has been entered incorrectly
2. The code has expired

If a code is not accepted in Dead Spells, it will say "code does not exist or is expired." It doesn't make it clear what the problem is, you'll just know the code hasn't worked. The good news is, if you use our article, we'll move codes into expired when they stop working, so you can tell the difference. If a code is in the active and working list, however, be sure to copy and paste it exactly as you see it here. We test each of the codes before uploading them, and Roblox codes are often case-sensitive, so it's important that it's exact.

The mysterious Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program will once again take place later this month, now compatible with Switch 2.

Nintendo has said this playtest will be another outing for the "same service" it previously shared with a select few fans in October 2024 — then, of course, just on the original Switch.

While applications to participate are open to all Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers, numbers will be limited — to just 40,000 players globally — and the test's contents are once again designed to be kept secret. (Though, of course, details of the hush-hush software previously spilled online last year anyway.)

Applications to take part in the playtest either as an individual or group open later today, and can then be submitted next Monday, July 21 to Wednesday July 23. If you're lucky enough to be picked, the playtest itself will then be available from Tuesday, July 29 to Monday, August 11.

Entrants must be over 18 years old and have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, with an account tied to either the US or Canada, UK, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil or Mexico.

Nintendo's website with application details once again makes clear the company's desire for secrecy:

"We request that you do not discuss or disclose content from either the Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program test software or website with others," the company states. "If you participate as a group, you may communicate and exchange information as long as it remains within the bounds of your group."

We will perform another test in the #NintendoSwitchOnline: Playtest Program. From 8:00 AM PT on July 21st, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members can apply to participate on a first-come, first-served basis.

During last year's playtest, Nintendo used copyright strikes to see screenshots of its secret software scrubbed from social media. But, of course, some evidence of the playtest still exists — and it's pretty easy to find via a quick search on reddit.

So what is it that's being tested? Widely compared to a Nintendo take on Minecraft, the experiential game allows users to pick up and assemble blocks to create structures in specific areas of a shared world, alongside other users. The gameplay footage that briefly appeared online last year appeared work-in-progress, as you'd expect, but suggested Nintendo was keen to explore the concept further with actual players and see what people got up to.

While this latest test looks to be for the same software, it will be intriguing to see what new features are included — if, or rather when, new footage leaks once again.

CBS has canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just a few days after Colbert criticised the network’s parent company, Paramount, for its high-profile settlement with President Trump.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ends in May 2026 and The Late Show will retire entirely after a 33-year run in what CBS insisted was a “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”

The news hit just days after Colbert criticised Paramount for settling a lawsuit with Donald Trump for $16 million over the president’s claim that CBS News deceptively edited an interview with the then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

And it’s also worth noting that the settlement, and the announcement of the end of The Late Show, come amid Paramount’s bid to get its $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media over the line (this is the same merger that’s causing South Park so much trouble). The transaction needs regulatory approval from the Trump administration, and Trump is often the butt of Colbert’s jokes.

To stop this from happening, we recommend copying and pasting the code directly from this article. We check and test each code before we add them to our article. However, when copying them, you can sometimes accidentally include an extra space somewhere. This is why you should always double-check that there aren't any additional spaces!

How to Redeem GHOUL://RE Codes

1. First, load up the Ghoul://RE experience and hit the Play button
2. If this is your first time playing the game, complete the tutorial, then create your character
3. Once you've loaded into the game, click menu in the top left corner.
4. Look at the icons, then click the </> on the far right for the code bar to appear
5. Enter the code then press confirm to redeem it for your rewards!

Why Isn't My GHOUL://RE Code Working?

If you find your GHOUL://RE codes aren't working, it's usually for one of two reasons. Firstly, lots of codes for Roblox experiences are case-sensitive, so you'll need to make sure you're putting it in correctly. The best way to do this, is just to copy it over directly from this article. Be mindful about including extra spaces accidentally, though!

Alternatively, it might just be the case that a code has expired and it's time the rewards are no longer available. Whether a code has expired, or has just been pasted in incorrectly, it will say "this code does not exist."

How to Get More GHOUL://RE Codes

We're always on the lookout for more codes, so we'd recommend coming here each day to see if there's more GHOUL://RE codes that have dropped. If you'd rather do the searching yourself, you can head over to the dedicated Discord Server for GHOUL://RE and browse for them there.

What is GHOUL://RE in Roblox?

GHOUL://RE is an open-world PVP experience based on the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul. You can choose to join either the CCG or the Ghoul factions, each with their own weapons and abilities. If you choose to join the CCG in this battle of survival, you'll be taking down Ghouls, but if you choose to be one of them, you'll play as a creature able to consume others. It's not all fighting, though, as you'll also need to complete missions, which you can pick up from the Mission Boards. Participate in events, open loot boxes, earn currency, and craft weapons to survive.

Need some free goodies to help brave the horrors lurking throughout DOORS? We’ve got your back. Below, you’ll find all the DOORS codes currently available in Roblox's popular horror game in July 2025, so you can boost your chances of survival without breaking the bank.

Active DOORS Codes (July 2025)

Here are all of the currently active and working DOORS codes for July 2025:

• SCREECHSUCKS - 25 Knobs

Expired DOORS Codes (July 2025)

Below, you'll find a list of DOORS codes that are expired and no longer work as of July 2025:

• 1000
• SIX2025
• 5B
• THEHUNT
• 4B

How to Redeem DOORS Codes

To redeem DOORS codes, boot up the game and, once you’re in, follow the steps below:

1. Look at the row of icons on the bottom of the screen
2. Click on the store icon to access the shop tab.
3. At the top of the tab, you’ll see the codes bar. Input your code here, being careful to make sure it’s in the right case and spelt correctly.
4. Click the tick icon and you should see the resources you unlock appear at the bottom of the screen.

Why Isn’t My DOORS Code Working?

If your DOORS code isn’t working, it’s likely due to one of two scenarios. The first is that the code was inputted incorrectly. Make sure you have the code inputted exactly as it is in the Active Codes section above. You can even copy and paste codes directly from this article over to Roblox if you want to make sure you’re inputting them correctly.

The other possibility is the code has expired or you’ve already used it. If you’ve used it, you’ll get a message below the bar reminding you the inputted code has already been redeemed. If you’ve inputted it and it doesn’t recognise the code at all, it likely means it's no longer available to use and is expired.

How to Get More DOORS Codes

If you’re looking to scout out some DOORS codes yourself, the easiest way is through the game’s official Discord. After joining, you’ll be able to hop into the doors-announcements channel to find all the latest codes as they drop.

You can also follow the game’s official X channel, where you’ll sometimes get new code drops straight from the creators.

What is DOORS in Roblox?

DOORS is a cooperative survival horror game where you’re tasked with entering haunted buildings and progressing as far as possible. Along the way, you’ll go head-to-head with a series of supernatural threats, working with your teammates to proceed past them unscathed while banking treasure and other loot. The goal is to make it as far as possible while collecting cash and door knobs to make your next run easier. So, how long can you survive?

How to Redeem Basketball: Zero Codes

1. First, you'll need to like and join the Basketball: Zero group on Roblox to be able to use codes
2. Then, load up the Basketball: Zero Roblox experience
3. In the bottom right corner of the screen, you'll find the codes button. It's purple with a gift box icon.
4. Copy your code and paste it into the box
5. Press redeem and claim your bonuses!

Why Isn't My Basketball: Zero Code Working?

Typically, when a code stops working, it's just because it's expired. However, plenty of codes for Roblox experiences are also case-sensitive. So, it might be that you've typed it incorrectly. Whether a code has been entered incorrectly in Basketball: Zero, or it's expired, you'll see a pop-up saying "code doesn't exist."

To avoid using an incorrect code, we'd recommend copying them directly from this article and pasting them into the code box. We test them all before we add them to the article, so you can be certain that if it's on here, it's a valid code. Just be sure to check you haven't added a sneaky extra space in there when copying it over.

How to Get More Basketball: Zero Codes

We check for codes on a daily basis, so if there's a new code, you'll be able to find it in this article. If you want to search for them yourself, however, you can head over to the Basketball: Zero Discord server.

What is Basketball: Zero in Roblox?

It's no surprise that in Basketball Zero, you'll be playing... basketball. The fast-paced 5v5 game will see you dribbling the ball across the court to face opponents and try to score as many points as possible. By unlocking new styles and zones, you'll earn a range of atheles and bonuses that will give you special advantages. The Flash, for example, has excellent speed and agility, while the Star athelete can leap like no other. Redeeming the codes above will give you chances at Lucky Spins, which unlock the Styles and Zones, while the cash will enable you to unlock emotes and goal effects, to really celebrate the wins.

Why Isn't My Anime Card Clash Code Working?

We usually find that when codes aren't working, it's for one of two reasons. Most Roblox experiences have codes that are case-sensitive, so if you're not putting the code in exactly as it's written, you'll find it won't work. To make it easier for you to avoid this issue, we'd recommend copying the code directly from this article. We test each and every one before we add them, so just be sure you don't copy an extra space before or after the code accidentally!

If your code still isn't working, it might be that it's expired. For reference, in Anime Card Clash, whenever you put in a code incorrectly, it says "Code not found!".

We check for Roblox codes daily, so when a new Anime Card Clash code drops, you can be sure you'll find it here! If you want to track down codes yourself, the Anime Card Clash Discord server is the place to hunt for them.

What is Anime Card Clash in Roblox?

In Anime Card Clash the goal is to build the best deck to battle against bosses and other players. You'll start by rolling for cards to craft a unique deck, and we'd recommend taking some time to roll as many times as possible and creating your perfect pack before you jump over to story mode. When you're ready to tackle story mode, you'll engage in turn-based combat against a series of tough bosses. With each defeat, you'll unlock new worlds, so you can put your deck to the ultimate test.

How to Redeem Five Nights TD Codes

Below, you'll find all of the currently active and working Five Nights TD codes

To redeem Five Nights TD codes, boot up the Roblox Experience and, once you’re in, follow the steps below:

1. Look at the icons running along the bottom of the screen. You’ll see three icons.
2. Click the gear icon to access the settings menu.
3. Scroll to the bottom of this menu and you'll see a codes bar. Input your code here, being careful to make sure it’s in the right case and spelt correctly.
4. Hit GO and your chosen code will be redeemed.

Why Isn’t My Five Nights TD Code Working?

If your Five Nights TD code isn’t working, it’s likely due to one of two scenarios. The first is that the code was inputted incorrectly. Make sure you have the code inputted exactly as it is in the Active Codes section above. You can even copy and paste codes directly from this article over to Roblox if you want to make sure you’re inputting them correctly.

The other possibility is the code has expired or you’ve already used it. If you’ve used it, you’ll get a message inside the code bar reminding you that the inputted code has already been redeemed. If you’ve inputted it and it doesn’t recognise the code at all, it likely means it's no longer available to use and is expired.

How to Get More Five Nights TD Codes

If you’re looking to scout out some Five Nights TD codes yourself, you should go ahead and join the game's Discord server. Once you're in, you'll find a channel titled "codes". The devs will post new codes in here as they add them, so keep an eye on it for the latest codes as they drop.

What is Five Nights TD in Roblox?

Five Nights TD is a tower defense game based on the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. Like most tower defense games, the idea is to engage in strategic battles where iconic FNAF animatronics attack your home base. To defeat them, you need to place units to stop them in their tracks, tactically assigning familiar faces like Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and more to quell the oncoming waves of robotic enemies.

Along the way, you'll purchase new units, take on tougher difficulty levels, and face bosses, with the game pitting you against some of the franchise's most notorious antagonists.

How to Redeem Attack on Titan Revolution Codes

1. Reach Level 15 in Attack on Titan Revolution
2. Launch AoT Revolution
3. Find Codes on the Main Menu as you load up the experience
4. Click on Codes and the box will appear on the bottom right corner
5. Paste in your code and press enter to get your goods

Why Isn't My Attack on Titan Revolution Code Working?

If you find your AoT Revolution code isn't working, it could be for a few reasons. Firstly, you'll need to be Level 15+ before codes will work, so spend some time leveling up before attempting to use them.

If you're Level 15+ and your code isn't working, it's either because there's a typo in the code or it's expired. If a code has run out, it will say "Expired" when you press enter. If there's a typo, or the code is very old, it will say "Invalid." If you don't meet the level requirement to use the code, it will say "Error."

To avoid typos, we'd recommend copying the code directly from this article. Then, paste it into the Codes bar on the Main Menu of the AoT Revolution screen. Just be sure to check that there's no extra space at the beginning or the end of the code.

We update this article daily with any new Attack on Titan Revolution codes. But if you want to get AOTR codes the moment they drop, it's best to follow the AoT Revolution Discord. Codes are posted in the #Announcements channel.

What is Attack on Titan Revolution in Roblox?

Where to Find More Anime Shadow 2 Codes

One of the best ways to get new codes is coming back to this page as we frequently update it with new and active codes. Otherwise, you can search for codes on your own by checking out the dedicated Discord server for Anime Shadow 2.

What is Anime Shadow 2 in Roblox?

Anime Shadow 2 is a sequel to the original where you collect characters heavily inspired by different anime to fight for you. As you defeat enemies, you'll gain gold that you can then use to summon even more characters to build out your team. Eventually you'll move onto different worlds inspired by Demon Slayer, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and more.

The physical and digital shelves are looking McChockers today, and I’ve done the digging to find the stuff that’s genuinely worth your coin. From cult favourites to fresh spins on old classics, these deals deliver more than just savings. Being something of a gaming almanac myself, I’ve spent time with most of what I'm presenting (so you know you’re getting real picks, not just a price list).

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I’m lighting an 18-candle cake for Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword with the fiery blast of a nuclear missile strike. This 2007 expansion supercharged Civ IV’s solid strategy base with fresh scenarios, deep espionage mechanics, and corporations that turned empire-building into a full-on business war.

I was blown away by how Beyond the Sword injected new life into the late game. While earlier Civ entries often slowed after the Renaissance, this expansion kept tension high with random events and colonisation options that demanded constant attention. The "Final Frontier" scenario was a clever nod to Alpha Centauri fans craving more sci-fi strategy. For many veterans, it was the perfect finishing touch on what some consider Mr Meier’s finest creation.

While a desk is important, I'd argue that a good office chair is the most essential part of any setup. This is the one item that makes or breaks the level of comfort you have while working or playing games at a desk, and if you don't choose wisely, it's easy to end up with back pain. As part of Wayfair's Back to School Sale, you can save up to $400 off select office chairs right now. If your chair is on its last legs, this is an excellent time to upgrade your workspace.

This Wayfair Sale only lasts through Sunday, July 20. We likely won't see deals this good again until Labor Day sales at the end of August, so this is a good chance to save on office furniture if you can't wait until then. And with new tariffs potentially arriving in the U.S. on August 1, these could very well be some of the lowest prices we see at Wayfair for the rest of 2025.

Save on Office Chairs at the Wayfair Back to School Sale

Prime Day has come and gone, and while there are still some stragglers from last week's huge sale, Barnes & Noble is currently the place to go for great deals on books and movies. Similar to Amazon's Criterion Collection Blu-ray sale, you can select from a wide catalogue of available movies to bundle and save. Everything included is 50% off, so if you love physical media and classic films this is the sale for you. There are also tons of books currently buy 1, get 1 50% off. You can get the entire Harry Potter saga in paperback, romance books, and even Where's Waldo (if you can find him).

Barnes & Noble Has Tons of Physical Media On Sale

Above is a TL;DR of everything available in this sale. Some of the promotions end this week, while others last into the beginning of August.

If you're looking for a laptop to take on the go, size and weight should be at the top of your priority list. A lightweight laptop is able to disappear into your bag and won't leave you with a sore shoulder at the end of the day. And unlike past years, opting for a thin and light design doesn't necessarily mean that you're trading-off on performance. These are the best lightweight laptops of 2025 so far I'd recommend you buy.

TL;DR - The Best Lightweight Laptops:

While it used to be true that opting for a lightweight laptop meant sacrificing performance and limiting the types of tasks you were able to accomplish, laptop hardware has advanced to the point where that just isn't the case anymore. It's still true that if you're working on high-intensity tasks like video editing or gaming, thicker designs can offer better ventilation and overall performance. But thanks to more advanced hardware and assistive technologies like frame generation and neural processing units (NPUs), lightweight laptops are better than ever before.

1. Apple MacBook Air (M4, 2025)

The Best Lightweight Laptop

The Apple MacBook Air might be a familiar pick for this category, but that's because it's so well-rounded and satisying that it soars to the top spot as the best choice for most people. The MacBook Air blends portability with performance and a minimalist sense of style to deliver an excellent all-around experience, whether you're getting work done or binging the latest season of Squid Game with your feet up.

Weighing in at only 2.7lbs, it's one of the lightest laptops in its class. But that doesn't mean it makes sacrifices on performance. While professionals will still want to turn to the MacBook Pro, the M4 processor in this notebook is more than up to the task for everything from productivity to creative apps like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro. While most of its competitors will have audible fan noise, especially when taking on such tasks, the MacBook Air remains blissfully quiet. It uses a completely fanless setup that leverages its metal body to silently dissipate heat. This design also means that there are no vents to break up its elegantly minimalist aesthetic.

I'm mainly a Windows user, but our own Jackie Thomas reviewed the MacBook Air and praised how Apple has refined its classic design. I did spend some time with the MacBook Air and have been tempted to switch ever since this version's release this year. Its blend of fantastic portability and impressive performance are simply hard to match with a Windows laptop.

Its other major selling point is its multi-day battery life. If you're taking on productivity apps, it can easily last upwards of 12 hours depending on your settings. For mixed use that includes video, it can extend well beyond that. If you're only using it for a few hours a day, a single charge has the potential to get you through almost an entire week of use.

Just... don't expect it to be particularly cheap if you venture above the introductory spec. Apple offers a base model with limited storage (256GB) and slightly pared back graphics (8-core instead of 10-core) for $1,000. If you store most of your files with cloud storage, it probably won't matter, but I'd personally go for the 512GB version (which also upgrades the processor) for $1,199 for peace of mind.

No matter which version you choose, the Apple MacBook Air continues a legacy of excellence in lightweight computing and is an even better fit if you already have an iPhone and live in that Apple ecosystem.

2. Acer Aspire 14 AI (2025)

The Best Budget Lightweight Laptop

When I reviewed the larger 16-inch version of this laptop, I was more than a little impressed by how thin and light Razer was able to make it for the level of gaming performance it offered. Now that I've spent time with the Blade 14, I'm happy to say that it continues that trend and offers plenty of power for modern, high-spec gaming and access to all of Nvidia's latest gaming features.

Weighing in at only 3.6lbs and measuring only 16mm thick, the Razer Blade 14 can be equipped with your choice of Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 or 5070 and an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 CPU. Add in up to 64GB of incredibly fast 8,000MHz memory and up to a full 2TB of onboard storage, and you have a recipe for a portable gaming powerhouse.

I was also pleased to find that the Blade 14 features an equally impressive display. It's an OLED – sadly, not a touchscreen – with a crisp 3K (2880x1800) resolution. Simply put, it looks fantastic, and, like the Blade 16, is one of my absolute favorite laptop screens available right now. It also clocks all the way up to 120Hz for ultra-smooth, ultra-responsive gameplay.

This sleek little rig doesn't come cheap with a price that starts at $2,000 and extends to $2,600 fully kitted out. Innovation has a cost, however, and that was definitely necessary to offer this kind of performance in such a thin, light form factor. If you can brace yourself against the inevitable sticker shock, this killer compact packs serious portable gaming power. And it's a great MacBook alternative for gamers looking to play PC games on the go.

If you're looking for a laptop that can double as a tablet, the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 should be at the top of your list. It offers a potent blend of high-spec hardware and a great screen that make this the best Surface Pro yet. You'll need to pick up the Surface Pro Keyboard and Surface Pen separately, but as a full kit, it's a veritable transformer of a lightweight laptop.

I confess, for years I wasn't the biggest fan of Microsoft's Surface 2-in-1 laptops. Their hardware and displays just weren't the best and quickly became outdated. With the Surface Pro 11, however, it's the exact opposite.

With this release, Microsoft has outfitted the Surface Pro 11 with some truly impressive specs. It comes with your choice of Snapdragon X Plus or Snapdragon X Elite processors, up to 64GB of DDR5 memory, and a full terabyte of storage. Even at its lowest hardware configuration, you can count on a usage experience that's fast, responsive, and should remain so for years into the future.

You can also pick either an LCD or OLED display. If your budget can stretch to afford it, I highly recommend going for the OLED display, especially if you plan to use the Surface Pro 11 for entertainment. For movies and streaming games online, it's stunning with deep blacks, vibrant colors, and enjoyable HDR.

There are two important things to know about this generation of Surface Pro. First, the Snapdragon processors are built on a different architecture than either Intel or AMD currently offer with their laptop CPUs, called ARM. Because of this, program support isn't universal (although it is very good and supports the vast majority of popular programs most people will use for productivity, creativity, and entertainment). To be sure your specific apps are supported, I recommend checking out the Windows on ARM compatibility list before pulling the trigger on a purchase.

Second, as I remarked upon in my review, it just doesn't work well for local gaming. In fact, many of the games we use for benchmarking laptops wouldn't run at all. That doesn't mean you can't play games on it, however. Though it may not have the horsepower to run most games locally, it works well with streaming services like Nvidia GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming.

For a versatile all-in-one solution, the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is a great option. It's easily Microsoft's best yet and, at only 1.97lbs, also so light you might even forget you're carrying it!

What should you pick if you need a lightweight laptop that does a little bit of everything? The Asus TUF Gaming A14. At 3.2lbs, this laptop blends excellent portability with impressive performance and quieter-than-average operation, even while running games. It's well-priced and well-equipped to take on all but the most intense tasks.

I reviewed the 2024 version of this laptop, and it's the same design with a couple of component changes worth highlighting. First, the A14 has received a graphics upgrade and now comes equipped with Nvidia RTX 50-series graphics instead of the 40-series. The processor has also been changed, swapping from the AMD Ryzen 9 HX 370 to the Ryzen 7 350. While this is a downgrade, it remains plenty powerful for most tasks you'll take on during the day and should allow the laptop to run cooler and even quieter than last generation's model.

Its RTX 5060 graphics card is enough to drive most games on its 1,600p IPS display at high settings. This is doubly true if you take advantage of performance-enhancing features like DLSS and frame generation, though isn't a requirement. If you do run into an issue where performance isn't where you'd like, stepping down to 1080p provides big gains while still looking great on its 14-inch display.

Whether you're typing a report, playing a game, or watching a movie, the TUF Gaming A14 offers an enjoyable experience. The speakers are surprisingly full and even though it doesn't have an OLED display, it still gets plenty bright. It also runs at a brisk 165Hz refresh rate for smooth motion during games.

The A14 does a little bit of everything and while, yes, there are laptops out there able to do productivity or gaming better, few do it as well as this single fantastic laptop.
