I haven't been this excited by a handheld since the Vita.
ASUS ROG Flow Z13 review: Practicality can be overrated
Putting gaming PC components in a detachable 2-in-1 design makes for a innovative system that’s both adaptable and rather travel-friendly. However, the Z13’s short battery life and high price make it hard to love.

The Halo TV show isn't terrible, but it can't compete with modern sci-fi TV.
Intel NUC 12 Extreme review: A powerful DIY mini-desktop for creators and gamers alike
The NUC 12 Extreme may not be as tiny as previous models, but it has a powerful 12th-gen CPU and it can fit in a full-sized desktop GPU. While it requires adding in your own RAM, SSD and GPU, it’s a powerful little box that you can easily upgrade over time.

Uncharted has been a tentpole franchise for Sony ever since the first game arrived back in 2007, so it’s not surprising that the games have been remastered for newer consoles over the years.

Now, the company is pulling the same trick with the two PS4 games in the series: Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
