The refresh-rate race has officially entered four-digit territory. Acer has unveiled the Predator XB253Q U1, a 24.5-inch Full HD gaming monitor capable of running at an extraordinary 1000 Hz, making it Acer’s first FHD display to reach that figure. This is not a gigantic ultrawide, an OLED showcase or a monitor designed to make Cyberpunk 2077 look prettier; it is an unapologetically esports-focused IPS display built around one priority getting as many frames in front...

MINI PC VS DESKTOP PC | COMPACT, CAPABLE, BUT NOT THE SAME

Mini PCs once occupied a very specific corner of the computer market, designed mainly for offices, reception desks, media centers and users who simply wanted Windows in the smallest possible box.

PCD TOP 5 | GAME EDITION HARDWARE | BUILT FOR FANS

A good game edition should feel like more than ordinary hardware sent through a themed paint shop.
