Dell’s $1,499 Alienware 15 makes some obvious compromises, but strong RTX 5050 gaming performance, useful upgrades, and a fast 165Hz display make them surprisingly easy to accept.

As we did last year, we’re awarding the very best products of the tech show in our Best of IFA 2026 Awards. Every winner was handpicked by the Gizmodo Consumer Tech Team. Congrats to all the winners.

The LG 39GX950B is a 5K2K OLED ultrawide that gets remarkably close to eliminating the usual monitor compromises.

Most modern computers no longer come with optical disc readers like CD or DVD drives, but the market for external CD/DVD drives is still going strong.

Storage drives have a tendency to fail when you least expect it. A traditional hard drive may give you a warning with clicking or grinding sounds, but an SSD has no moving parts to make a fuss.

A fairly staid design and a small performance bump leave the refreshed 16X Aurora tougher to recommend than last year's.
