The iPad Mini may be the most diminutive tablet of the bunch, but that doesn’t mean it’s hindered in any way. This is the most compact and portable iPad measuring 7.7″ long, 5.3″ wide, and only 0.25″ thin. The compact form factor still packs in a gorgeous 8.3″ Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. The new iPad Mini was released in October of 2024 and features some pretty significant improvements over its predecessor, including a more powerful A17 Pro processor, double the base storage capacity, an updated faster Wi-Fi 6e protocol, a USB Type-C port that offers faster charging, and compatibility with the newer Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and upcoming support for Apple Intelligence.

The Novis follows a similar racing-inspired gaming aesthetic of its Kasier lineup of chairs, minus the two holes at the top that are traditionally used for seatbelt passthroughs in racecar seats but is completely useless in gaming PC chairs. It’s available in two upholstery options: PVC leather and linen fabric. PVC leather is what you’ll find on most gaming chairs. It’s a faux leather like vinyl that’s resistant to stains and is very easy to clean. I personally like linen fabric, however, because it ages better and has more breathability so you’re less likely to have a sweaty back or thighs during intense gaming sessions. Underneath the upholstery is 60kg/m³ of cold-cure foam that, according to Andaseat, “strikes the perfect balance between soft and firm, making it cushiony — but with enough body support.”

Other features include a molded seat back with a 5cm raised lumbar, side bolsters on both the seat and back for a bit more support, height-adjustable armrests, 155 degrees of reclinability and 15 degrees of rockability, a SGS class 4 gas piston that supports up to 200 pounds on the base model (265 on the XL model). You also get up to 5 years of warranty if you post a photo of your chair on social media, an extra step borrowed from other brands like Secretlab.

You can easily spend upwards of nearly $1,000 on a Secretlab gaming chair, but nowadays even budget chairs can offer you a comfortable sitting experience even for long gaming sessions. Currently our top budget gaming chair is the TC100 Relaxed from Corsair, which retails for $249.99. Here’s a chance to get another quality gaming chair for $70 less.

Interested in other Andaseat chairs? Right now, they’re hosting a New Year Sale with up to $220 off their most popular models, including the Kaiser and X-Air mesh chairs.

Wicked is currently available to rent or buy through digital marketplaces like Prime Video. Wicked: Part I is distributed by Universal, so it’ll eventually end up on Peacock (rather than Netflix or Disney+ – though that doesn’t preclude it from ever ending up at either streaming service). Our best guess is the movie is streaming on Peacock by the end of March.

Wicked: Part 1 on Blu-ray

4K and Blu-ray editions of Wicked: Part 1 are up for preorder, set to release on February 4. For more physical media releases, check out our guide to upcoming Blu-rays.

What Is Wicked About?

Wicked is an adaptation of one of the longest-running Broadway musicals that opened in 2003, which is an adaptation of a book – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum – that was a prequel to the original Wizard of Oz. Phew. To keep things simple, here’s the Wicked movie’s official synopsis:

“One of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its journey to the big screen as a spectacular cinematic event this holiday season.

“Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 21, 2025.

“Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning and Oscar-nominated powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her green skin who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege who has yet to discover her true heart.

“The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.”

When Is Wicked: Part II Coming Out?

As previously mentioned, Wicked is, in fact, actually an almost three-hour-long “Part I.” A second and final part is set to arrive in theaters in 2026. TBD if that timeline will hold up or it’ll be pushed back.

The Legion Tower 7i RTX 4080 Super gaming PC is currently available for just over $2,200 shipped. The 4080 Super is a second generation card that supersedes the RTX 4080. It’s Nvidia’s second most powerful card and a superior GPU to AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 RTX if you factor in DLSS and ray tracing performance. In our RTX 4080 Super review, Jacqueline Thomas writes, “If you’re in the market for a 4K graphics card around $1,000, it’s hard to think of any GPU that’s a better purchase right now.”

This Legion Tower 5 gaming PC is equipped with an RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU for under $1,600. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is a second gen RTX 40 series GPU; it’s about 10% more powerful than the RTX 4070 Ti and 15-25% faster than the RTX 4070 Super. This is a great card for both 1440p and 4K gaming. The VRAM count is upped to 16GB compared the the RTX 4070 Ti’s 12GB, which means it has the same amount of VRAM as the RTX 4080 Super. With this level of GPU power, enabling ray tracing is also a very real possibility in many games.

This Legion Tower 5 gaming PC features an RTX 4070 GPU for $1,425. The RTX 4070 Super is one of the best graphics cards for most people; it’s affordably priced and yet it’s powerful enough to run games at up to 4K (although 1440p is its sweet spot). In her RTX 4070 Super review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote that “the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the mid-range card we should have got back when the RTX 4000 generation launched. It’s around 16% faster in most games at the same price. If you’ve been waiting to make your GPU upgrade, now’s the time.”

If you’re looking for an incredibly powerful gaming desktop replacement, this laptop is a strong contender. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7 gaming laptop features a 16″ QHD+ display, Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU, RTX 4090 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The Intel Core i9-14900HX is Intel’s most powerful CPU and excels at both gaming and workstation duties. The RTX 4090 is still the most powerful mobile GPU on the market, and by a very substantial margin. It’s roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU. It has more than enough power to run most games at well over 60fps on the 2560×1600 display. In fact, it could probably hit 240fps (the display has a 240Hz refresh rate).

This Lenovo Legion Pro 7 gaming laptop offers a lot of upgrades for a very reasonable price. Unlike most laptops at this price point, it’s equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700X, RTX 4070 GPU with the maximum TGP rating, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 4070 mobile GPU performs on par with the RTX 3080 and should provide ample horsepower to power games on the QHD+ display.

This Lenovo Legion Pro 5 gaming laptop features a 16″ QHD+ display, a fully-powered AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU, RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 mobile GPU sits right in between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti. It should run most games smoothly on the QHD+ display, especially with DLSS enabled.

The Lenovo Slim 5 Gen 9 is a current generation 2024 model. It weighs in at only 4.63 pounds and measures 0.78″ at its thinnest point. The Legion Slim model is thinner than your typical gaming laptop, and yet is still equipped with a GPU that has the same high-wattage TGP as the full-sized Legion Pro.

Why Choose Lenovo?

Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better and more rugged build quality than what you’d find from most other prebuilt PCs. For desktop PCs in particular, people like the fact that Lenovo does not use many proprietary components in their rigs, so the PCs are much easier to upgrade with easiy obtainable, off-the-shelf parts. For laptops, Lenovo generally does not throttle the GPU on most of their Legion laptops, so you should expect maximum performance from a given GPU. Lenovo generally includes a solid one-year warranty with the option to extend.

The Arctis Nova Pro is the highest-end gaming headset in SteelSeries’ repertoire. It combines excellent sound quality with comfortable ergonomics, a high-performance mic, and unique yet extremely practical features. One of the biggest standout features of the SteelSeries Nova Pro wireless headset is the ingenious hot-swappable battery system. SteelSeries was generous enough to includes two batteries: one that’s in use in your headset and the other that’s charging in the separate DAC controller. This way, you get wireless freedom with no waiting to recharge. Each battery lasts for up to 22 hours of continued use, so you won’t be constantly swapping them out either.

Other great features include an OLED base station with volume control knob, active noise cancellation (rare in a gaming headset), retractable boom microphone, all-day comfort thanks to the suspension headband and leatherette ear cushions, simultaneous 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth pairing, onboard audio presets, and the versatile Sonar software for creating your own custom sound profiles (for PC gamers).

In our “Masterpiece” 10/10 rated SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro review, Kevin Lee writes, “SteelSeries’ Pro Wireless headsets have always been a bit of a unicorn in the gaming headset world thanks to their outstanding sound quality, uniquely removable batteries, simultaneous connection support, and other rare features. The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless truly elevates this line of gaming headsets to another level: spatial sound and audio quality are fantastic, batteries can be hot-swapped for uninterrupted use, and you can make your gaming audio experience even more nuanced thanks to very noticeable changes in the equalizer and Sonar settings. The revised design accommodates all heads – large and small – comfortably, even for extended sessions. And to top things off, the more premium design and hybrid active noise canceling make the headset even more usable as a daily pair of wireless headphones.”
