On the prowl for more MSI? Check out our full reviews of the best MSI laptops on the market. When we first took the MSI Katana GF66 for a spin last year, pedal-to-the-metal performance was this machine’s best attribute.

But of course, not all first-person shooters need to follow the “shoot first” formula. Some are submerged in expansive RPG mechanics, others immerse the player in a slew of choices that allow them to define how they approach every situation, and very rarely, they can make thoughtful political statements. There are also those days when you just want the satisfaction of battling other players in palpitating PvP action. And since the first-person shooter genre is one of my favorites, here’s a list of the best I’ve played....

These aren’t the apps offering a gaming experience that makes you move. No, these are apps designed to be your personal fitness coach, to make you sweat, and to provide a “habitual relationship with fitness.” That’s what Sam Cole wants to make clear, the co-founder and CEO of the award-winning FitXR fitness app available on Meta Quest, and eventually PlayStation and Steam. We chatted with Cole to talk about how the virtual fitness app came to be, why standalone VR headsets are a game-changer and the benefits of building towards the “Holy Grail” of fitness platforms....

The LG Gram 17 is just amazing at one thing that matters to people on the go. Being very, very light. Sporting a metal alloy body made of nano carbon with magnesium, this laptop crams a 17-inch display into a chassis that weighs just under 3 pounds. That’s insane for such a big canvas. For example, the 15-inch MacBook Pro weighs 4 pounds. Port selection is pretty good, too, with a full-size USB port, USB Type-C, HDMI and a microSD reader....

Those chips are primarily security-based, but also have a few other functions. The T1 chip on the latest MacBook Pros controls Touch ID and the Touch Bar. On the iMac Pro, the T2 manages the boot process, camera, microphone security and more.
