AMD’s new CPU could silently replace the Ryzen 7 7800X3D
The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D CPU.

AMD just expanded its lineup of gaming CPUs, but it's not a Zen 5 chip. Instead, AMD launched a new Zen 4 CPU, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. Once again a Micro Center exclusive, the CPU could be an interesting budget offering ... if not for the fact that it still costs a pretty penny. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D seems to be disappearing from the market. What's going on?

The fact that AMD revisited the Zen 4 lineup is not surprising, as it still continues to release Zen 3 chips. It's also not shocking that the Ryzen 5 7600X3D is a Micro Center exclusive, as the Ryzen 5 5600X3D was also only available at that one retailer. In the case of the 7600X3D, though, it'll also be available in Germany through Mindfactory.

If you’re keen to snap up one of the best laptop deals around, hit the buy button now, or you can keep reading while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Air 2024 13-inch M3
Topping our look at the best MacBooks, the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch M3 is something special, even more so with the latest revision. It has an M3 chip with 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, and there’s 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. Those latter two specs are a little on the low side, but the nice thing about the optimization of macOS is that it can handle 8GB of memory well and the small operating system leaves plenty of room for files.

Apple is planning a new version of the Mac mini using the M4 chip, according to reports from Bloomberg. It's expected sometime before the end of the year, and insider information suggests that it will be significantly smaller than the previous generation -- almost as small as the Apple TV box. This will be the first significant redesign of the product since it was overhauled in 2010 under late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

It seems there will be two versions of the new Mac mini, one with the standard M4 chip and one with an M4 Pro chip that has yet to be announced. Like other Pro chips, it's expected that the M4 Pro will support additional memory and enhanced graphic performance.
