Acer just revealed two new gaming laptops at IEM Katowice, a Counter-Strike tournament in Poland. These are entries in the company's Predator Helios Neo AI line of laptops, so they are filled to the brim with both bells and whistles. The Helios Neo 16 AI and 18 AI can be outfitted with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU.
Both of these computers also boast sleek, minimalist designs, with RGB logos on the lid and "dynamic 4-zone" RGB keyboards. They support up to 64GB of RAM and up to 2TB of internal storage. The laptops also come with Intel Killer Ethernet and integrate with Wi-Fi 6E, so online gaming sessions should be zippy as can be. Both models support NVIDIA G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus and MUX Switch.

The idea of Sonos jumping into video streaming isn't a new one; as early as 2022, the company was busy on LinkedIn, recruiting experienced video staffers to help with a "home theater project." Then last September, we learned that Sonos had joined forces with (uh oh) a digital advertising firm to firm up a TV OS for the device. (We'll get to that in a bit.)
Now comes word from The Verge that Sonos is "deep into development" on this TV streamer, codenamed Pinewood. Not only could Pinewood be just months away from release, but it might also be Sonos's "only new hardware due anytime soon," the publication says.
This streaming box, according to The Verge, is just that: a box, in the shape of a "flattened black square and slightly thicker than a deck of trading cards." In other words, a device that looks like plenty of other streaming players on the market.

One of the easiest way to do it is to use CCleaner — and right now CCleaner Professional is on sale for just $14.95 on the PCWorld Store. That's a 63 percent discount for a 1-year/1-device license.
Our friends over at Tech Advisor reviewed CCleaner Professional and gave it a 4.5-star rating and their Editors' Choice award as they found it's not only affordable but also offers solid performance. It's packed with useful tools and features, too. "CCleaner remains one of the best cleaning software options around, not only at one of the lowest prices but offering top-notch performance," reads the review.
CCleaner Professional can remove junk files (like temporary files that are left over from installations), browsing history, cache files, and other types of files that were supposed to be removed but stuck around. It'll free up a lot more storage space than you realize.
It can also optimize your device's performance by identifying and freezing unnecessary background processes that waste computing cycles. Other tools include utilities for permanently deleting sensitive files (so they can never be recovered) and removing tracking data and cookies (to preserve your privacy while using the internet).
Get CCleaner Professional for the special price of $14.95 on the PCWorld Store and keep your computer clean and opti
