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.

lenovo foldable laptop extended.

Last year, Lenovo teased a rollable laptop at MWC 2023, but it was purely a prototype. Now, a leak covered by The Verge from Evan Blass claims that the concept is becoming a reality and will be released at CES 2025 in just a few weeks.

The concept Lenovo laptop from last year looks like a completely normal laptop at first, but once you press a button on the side, more screen literally starts rolling out from under the keyboard. The screen slowly grows until you have basically two laptop screens stacked on top of each other.

ChatGPT just got a bump to its coding powers
ChatGPT collaborating with Notion

For its penultimate 12 Days of OpenAI announcement, the company revealed a trio of updates to ChatGPT's app integration on Thursday, which should make using the AI in conjunction with other programs on your desktop less of a chore.

OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT's ability to collaborate with select developer-focused macOS apps, specifically VS Code, Xcode, TextEdit, Terminal, and iTerm2, back in November. Rather than needing to copy and paste code into ChatGPT, this feature allows the chatbot to pull specified content from the coding app as you enter your text prompt. ChatGPT, however, cannot generate code directly into the app, as Cursor or GitHub Copilot are able to.

The latest Windows 11 update, codenamed 24H2, has been a troubled rollout for Microsoft, but one thing's been clear from the beginning: PC gamers should wait to install it. Let's add another issue to the list, shall we?

The result of the bug is that incorrect colors are being displayed or, even worse, are breaking games entirely and causing them to not be responsive.
