Logitech’s flagship gaming mouse, the G502, has gone through a few iterations since its launch in 2014 – but for the first time Logitech has revamped the range entirely with a top-to-bottom rebuild and a trio of mice dubbed the G502 X series.

At the heart of the redesign are brand-new Lightforce hybrid switches, which combine the speed and reliability of an optical mouse switch with the crisp feel and click of mechanical. Essentially, this is as satisfying as any mechanical mouse to use, but packs all the performance benefits of the latest optical options.

All three G502 X models benefit from the company’s Hero 25K high-DPI sensor, adjustable with a side-mounted DPI Shift button. Following feedback from fans, this switch is now reversible, which lets you set it closer to or further from your thumb to suit different grip lengths – or you can take it off entirely and swap in a sleek switch cover if you’d rather.

Available in black or white, the G502 X is also impressively lightweight for its feature set: the wired entry model weighs just 89g, a 32g reduction from its predecessor.

It’s been two years since Nextbase launched its Series 2 dash cams and, to coincide with CES 2022, the UK-based manufacturer has announced what’s coming next.

The iQ is a range of connected dash cams which give a 540-degree view of your vehicle, whether you’re driving it or it’s parked. The unusual angle is derived from the fact it has three 180-degree lenses: one facing forward, one backwards (to the car’s interior) and a third camera mounted in the rear window capturing everything going on behind.

It’s the first fully connected model from Nextbase, having a built-in 4G SIM to provide alerts, location data and a live video feed to your phone, wherever you happen to be. As far as we know, this makes it the first dashcam in the world to offer 4K resolution, three lenses and 4G connectivity.

Design-wise, the iQ is completely different to any previous Nextbase dashcam. For a start, it doesn’t have an LCD screen. This means it relies more on the new Nextbase iQ app than previous models did on the old app, though there’s also a built-in voice assistant that allows you to control certain functions completely hands-free.

It’s designed to sit behind your rear-view mirror with the cabin camera poking out below it, as you can just about make out in the image below.

AMD has had a doozy of a reveal at CES 2022, covering not only new entry-level desktop GPUs but a whole suite of laptop-focused upgrades including the reveal of both new and updated laptop-focused graphics cards that’ll bring a significant boost to laptop performance in 2022.

Let’s start with the new addition to the laptop market, the AMD Radeon RX 6000S Mobile Graphics. Designed to be used in thinner and lighter gaming laptops than the flagship 6000M series, the 6000S can be used in laptops 20% thinner than standard gaming laptops, and it’ll weigh around 2Kg maximum too.

Of course, being a mobile GPU designed for thin and light laptops, it has to be power-efficient, and AMD says that the S-series graphics cards have been optimised for better efficiency and performance per watt, but specifics will likely depend on the specifics of the laptop in question.

The top-end RX 6800S is capped at 100W overall, though AMD says it’ll offer “the ultimate in thin-and-light gaming” with around 10% boost in performance compared to the competition.

Nvidia teased big announcements in the worlds of gaming and design in the run-up to CES 2022, and it has delivered in the form of two new GPUs, the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti, bringing a significant performance boost to laptops in 2022.

As revealed during today’s CES 2022 announcement, the flagship RTX 3080 Ti brings the ’80 Ti’ class of graphics cards to the laptop for the first time. On paper it’s a mobile powerhouse, offering 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and the company claims it can outperform the Titan RTX – a top-end graphics card that cost $2499 when it launched in late 2018.

The mid-range Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti follows in the footsteps of the 3080 Ti, with performance up to 70% faster than that provided by RTX 2070 SUPER-equipped laptops.

The RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti for laptops offer the same raytracing support for gaming and content creation. Importantly for gamers, the GPUs boast DLSS support that uses AI to upscale – and even improve the quality – of games without a performance hit.

There’s also the Nvidia Studio platform to consider. Focused on digital creators like animators, 3D artists and videographers, Studio-certified laptops offer tweaked drivers and other optimisations for 3D content creation. Studio supports over 200 creative apps, along with Nvidia’s video processing tech, for a smooth creation experience.

Nvidia is confident of its optimisation too, claiming that when coupled with the latest CPUs and RTX laptop GPUs, Studio-certified laptops are seven times faster at 3D rendering than the Apple Silicon-equipped MacBook Pro 16.

While it isn’t possible to upgrade a laptop’s graphics card as you can with a PC, the good news is that there are plenty of laptops in the works that’ll take advantage of the new GPUs.

Nvidia says over 160 laptops will go on sale in 2022 from companies including ASUS, MSI and Razer, in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The company teased dual-screen form factors, easels, convertibles and new 14in “portable powerhouses” with many sporting 1440p displays with G-SYNC support.

Today at CES 2022, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, expanding its line of Ampere architecture-based GPUs.

This entry-level GeForce RTX GPU is designed for 1080p gamers and comes with 8GB of GDDR6X memory and 2560 CUDA cores. The GPU also boasts 9 Shader cores, 18 RT cores and 73 Tensor cores.

This new GPU offers gamers the chance to play the latest AAA games such as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Doom Eternal at 60fps, something that older GPUs such as the GTX 1650 and the GTX 1050 Ti would struggle to do.

Pricing starts at $249, though with the recent GPU shortages there’s a chance that it could retail for a little more than that. The GeForce RTX 3050 GPU will hit shelves in just a few weeks’ time, on 27 January 2022, a little over a week after AMD’s competing RX 6500 XT.

To get your hands on the GPU, head on over to the Nvidia Partner website to find one local to you.

Alongside this, Nvidia also unveiled the highly-rumoured RTX 3090 Ti BF GPU. This will come with 40 Shader cores, 78 RT cores, 320 Tensor cores and 24GB of 21GB/s G6X memory, the fastest ever seen from Nvidia.

The company will host another live stream next month dedicated entirely to the TX 3090 Ti BF GPU.
