Antonio is a laptop reviewer at The Verge. Before starting here in 2021 as a deals writer, he worked in the photography industry — and still photographs weddings on the side from time to time. He also plays lots of video / tabletop games, collects vinyl records, buys too many mechanical keyboards, and endlessly professes his love for the great state of New Jersey.

These mechanical keyboards are two very different sides of the same beautifully made coin

The Evoworks Evo75 and Dry Studio ATM 98 are two of the nicest keyboards I’ve ever seen and heard. One is wonderfully thocky and one is serenely stealthy.

I want your skulls (in Halo).

Like previous Halo titles, unlockable skulls in Halo: Campaign Evolved will allow you crank up explosions, turn down gravity, or celebrate every grunt headshot with confetti and fanfare. You can even mimic the gameplay of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved, or enable remixes of skulls for randomized choas.

Afraid the Steam Machine will be too expensive? Imagine the price of this NUC with a mobile RTX 5090.

At Computex, Asus announced the ROG NUC 16 Edition 20 — a mini-PC with Intel’s highest-end mobile chip and a flagship RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. It’s even decked out in gold accents for the Republic of Gamers’ 20th anniversary.

Like other Asus Computex announcements, there’s no pricing. But as Liliputing points out, the standard model with an RTX 5080 costs $3,799.
