Check out our written reviews of the HP Envy 4500 and the HP Envy 5530 printers.

In addition to the multiple computers announced today, Hewlett-Packard also introduced two new multifunction printers in its Envy series: the Envy 4500 e-All-in-One (shown above) and the Envy 5530 e-All-in-One.

HP isn’t unveiling anything groundbreaking in these two new models, but both are equipped with wireless connectivity, allowing you to control them via a smartphone, tablet, or PC sans wires; scan and send to a mobile device; print to the machines from anywhere as long as they’re connected to the Internet; and get news and coupons sent to the printers via the HP Printables feature.

The printers have a compact design ideal for home use. Both machines offer duplex printing, great for drafts and saving money and resources. Print speed is rated at 9 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 5 ppm in color. Users have the option of using high-capacity ink cartridges, but when your ink runs out you can use HP’s Instant Ink subscription service for easy replenishment.

LG’s new Gram Pro finally looks like a serious MacBook Pro rival

Just ahead of CES, LG has announced a refresh to its Gram Pro lineup, as well as launched a budget-friendly Gram Book. The tweaked Gram Pro laptops are the most exciting, though, with the the LG Gram Pro 17 catching my eye.

First off, it's been thinned out a bit, dropping down to 0.62 inches thick, which is almost the same thickness as the 16-inch MacBook Pro. The LG Gram Pro 17 is also a full pound and a half lighter than the MacBook Pro, both of which are striving to be one of the best laptops you can buy.

Nvidia’s new GPUs show up in prebuilts, but the RTX 5090 is missing

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti just appeared in several iBUYPOWER gaming PCs. This is the first U.S. retailer to list Nvidia's RTX 50-series in prebuilt systems. The listings are interesting, with performance figures that really don't add up. Still, the biggest question is: Where's the GPU that's bound to beat all the current best graphics cards? Yes, we're talking about RTX 5090.

The listings have already been taken down, but they were preserved by VideoCardz. A total of five systems were listed by iBUYPOWER, but they all contained the same two GPUs -- either the RTX 5080 or the RTX 5070 Ti. Both cards are said to come with 16GB of memory, and we expect them to be announced on January 6 during the CES 2025 keynote held by Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang.

OLED gaming monitors are about to get a lot brighter

One of the biggest criticisms leveled against OLED monitors, despite being some of the best gaming monitors you can buy, is how dim they are. Although brightness is steadily increasing, it looks like the next crop of OLED gaming monitors will make quite the leap when it comes to HDR performance. Ahead of CES 2025, VESA has revealed a new tier of its DisplayHDR standard that's focused squarely on the brightness of OLED monitors.

The certification is DisplayHDR True Black 1,000. Most OLED gaming monitors, such as the MSI MPG 321URX or Alienware 27 QD-OLED, are certified with DisplayHDR True Black 400. This certification level is reserved for OLED -- or extremely high-end mini-LED -- displays that achieve nearly perfect black levels. According to VESA's specifications, the display has to reach 0.0005 nits with a checkboard pattern. Now, VESA is focusing on the other end of the spectrum, adding a more demanding tier that maintains those low black levels while pushing brightness higher.
