So, without further ado, here are this year’s winners.
Best gaming PC - Maingear Zero Ruby
TheMaingear Zero Rubyis a revolutionary gaming PC.
It marks a long-term victory for its maker, who strived to make cableless prebuilds over a decade ago.
Now, they finally have.
Now, in 2024, Maingear leads the charge in prebuilt machines that use these motherboards.
Acer Predator Orion X
In many ways, theAcer Predator Orion Xis a trendsetting machine as well.
If this becomes available in the US in 2025, the market could be in for a serious shake-up.
This machine is thebest gaming laptopI’ve tested to date - and it’s far from the most expensive.
Lenovo hasn’t thrown everything at the Legion Pro 7i, but that’s why it stands so tall.

Plus, it means you’ll be better equipped to meet system requirements as you sail through 2025.
There have been threeSSDs for gamingat the top of the market for a while now.
There’s theSamsung 990 Pro, theSeagate FireCuda 530, and theWD Black SN850X.
For PS5 Slim owners, the H02 model is the one to go for.
Beyond the chassis, though, there’s some fantastic tech plugged in under the hood.
This is the best of Razer’s tech, squeezed into an ultralight 54g form factor.
The DeathAdder drops all those competitive features that prove so unnecessary to casual players, though.
The Falchion does much more than perform, though.
Asus has installed a slick touch-sensitive control bar on the top section of its keyboard, though.
It’s an incredibly flexible gear with on-the-fly macro recording and an easily portable chassis.
The market is crying out for more open back headsets, and Turtle Beach has answered the call.
I barely registered I was wearing a headset, even during longer sessions.
That ergonomic design is second to none.
The benefit of going digital rather than acoustic?
You’ve still got full access to EQ tweaks, chat-mix, and sidetone.
Sometimes, the result is a laughable attempt to grab some extra cash.
Other times, they show all the other manufacturers what they’ve been doing wrong.
This chair looks incredible, and it feels just as good to sit in.
PDP Victrix Pro BFG for Xbox
Last year’s winner saw a refresh this year with its Xbox release.
TheVictrix Pro BFG for Xboxis arguably even better than the original thanks to the addition of rumble.
It’s a small change, but it increases this Esports gamepad’s single-player potential and overall feel.
By all accounts, this VR headset was very close to not being made.
Its controllers are longer and have some extra buttons too, which feels strangely more immersive in VR games.
This headset even sports the same chipset and Pancake lenses that make the Quest 3 so attractive.

It’s surprisingly deep.
As I mentioned in myLife in Reterra review, I can see it becoming a modern classic.
Thebest projectorscan be chunky devices, but the X3100i manages to keep things more streamlined than larger Horizon models.
Placement is much less of a headache than usual here as well.
Then they make you wonder - how did no body else think of this until now?
TheElgato Prompteris exactly that punch in of product.
It’s practically unmatched by any other brand, save for the traditional teleprompters that TV stations use.
All in all, this is one of thebest streaming gadgetsto come out in years.
