Microsoft Minecraft comes to Chromebooks
Chromebooks are only for business and general use computing, right? I mean, you can't do gaming on a Chromebook, right? Actually, these days, you absolutely can play some video games on Google's ChromeOS laptops. Case in point, today, the search giant announces that one of the most popular games of all time, Minecraft, is now officially available for Chromebooks!
Users can now purchase Minecraft: Bedrock Edition directly from the Google Play Store on their Chromebooks. This version includes access to the Minecraft Marketplace, where players can explore and acquire unique content, as well as the ability to join Realms and play with friends.
AMD Ryzen Z1 Series processors make Valve's Steam Deck obsolete
Valve's Steam Deck is a very popular handheld computer that allows people to play modern PC games on the go. Powered by a Zen 2-based AMD APU, Steam Deck also makes a great emulation machine. The Linux PC can play thousands of ROMs from classic consoles, such as N64, PS1, and more. Hell, it can even run modern Nintendo Switch games!
Unfortunately for Valve, the Steam Deck is about to become obsolete. You see, earlier today, AMD launched its all-new new Zen 4-based Ryzen Z1 Series processors. These chips are designed to provide a high-end gaming experience for handheld PC consoles. Make no mistake, the gaming systems powered by Z1 will make the current Steam Deck old hat.
