Computers

Laptops are a hot product right now as high school, college and university students start preparing for back to school. Best Buy has hundreds to choose from and I’ve already dished on five of my favourites. Now it’s time to leverage the power of Best Buy’s website, through the customer ratings and comments left by people who have bought specific laptops. We’ve combed through the ratings and put together another list of five laptop computers, this time based on your feedback. Without further ado, here are five of the best laptops on the market, as chosen by Best Buy customers.

I see a lot of laptops come through my door and many of them try to impress with fancy sculpted cases and LED lighting effects. Granted, looking hot does get some points upfront, but after trying out my third Eurocom laptop in the past few years —this time the Shark 2— I’ve really come to appreciate this manufacturer’s approach. While the Shark 2 doesn’t look cheap, it is understated compared to many laptops aimed at the gaming and graphics professional crowd. It’s also a solid performer with a good display, high quality sound, a powerful Intel Haswell CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M graphics card for gaming.

 It might be time to replace your tired old Wi-Fi router. Today we take a look at a few of the warning signs that can help you determine whether or not to take the plunge now.

I run down the best of the best for every budget and every preference with my list of the top five current gaming PC desktops.

Your gaming rig is elite. So why are you still rocking the discount keyboard and mouse that you found in the storage room? Level up your gear!

Sometimes the very power source that runs your computer can destroy it. Even small electrical surges can damage computers and a large one can completely fry a PC or even cause electronics to catch fire. Here’s how you protect your PC from becoming a power surge casualty.

New CPUs unlock capabilities like Windows Mixed Reality take gaming to a whole new level and introduce VR games and experiences.
