UHPILCL
A new Kickstarter project is attempting to redefine high-performance mobile computing with a hybrid laptop that integrates desktop components and built-in liquid cooling. The Ultra High Performance Integration Liquid Cooled Laptop or UHPILCL T1000 is designed to house standard mini-ITX motherboards, allowing users to install desktop-grade processors and full-sized graphics cards, including the RTX 5090.
This makes it one of the most powerful and modular laptop-like systems ever proposed. Unlike traditional gaming laptops that rely on large vapor chamber cooling solutions or external docks, the T1000 features a fully integrated open-loop liquid cooling system capable of dissipating up to 720W of thermal output. Given the potential power draw of components like AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D, effective cooling is essential. Users must fill the system with deionized water before operation, ensuring efficient heat dissipation.

The T1000 features a 17.3-inch display with a 3K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, balancing high visual fidelity with smooth performance. The laptop weighs approximately 4.8kg, with the “Super” variant reaching 5.2kg due to its support for an extra 7mm of cooler height. While significantly bulkier than conventional gaming laptops, it remains relatively portable compared to full desktop setups.
One of the project’s main selling points is its modularity. The T1000 allows users to swap out components such as the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage, making it a rare example of a truly upgradable laptop-like system. This flexibility ensures long-term viability, as users can upgrade their hardware instead of replacing the entire device.
The Kickstarter campaign has yet to officially launch, and details on pricing and availability remain undisclosed. However, the project has already attracted interest from enthusiasts seeking desktop-class performance in a semi-portable form factor.

Apple may have an idea to fix the Magic Mouse for gamers, but I’m not convinced
Mac gaming is finally starting to undergo something of a renaissance, and things are looking up for people who prefer to play their games on an Apple computer. Apple’s latest M4 chips offer respectable gaming performance, as our Mac Studio and MacBook Air reviews have shown, while an increasing number of AAA titles are coming to the Mac — including one of the best PC games in the form of Cyberpunk 2077.
But as I’ve written before, there’s one key problem that no one seems to be talking about: the Magic Mouse.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus laptop drops below $1,000 with this $300 discount
If you want to buy a powerful device with a huge discount from laptop deals, you’re going to want to set your sights on this offer for the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus. This configuration, which usually sells for $1,100, is on sale from Dell for only $800, for savings of $300 as part of a clearance sale. There’s a chance that the remaining stocks are already running low though, so if you want to take advantage of this bargain, we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as you can.
Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus laptop
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus only received a score of 3 out of 5 stars in our review, primarily because you’re only getting an IPS display, whereas other brands are already offering laptops with OLED screens at a similar price. However, with Dell’s discount, this is less of a deal-breaker, especially since the 14-inch IPS screen is actually solid with 2.8K resolution. The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus also comes with a sleek but conservative design, and its build quality is pretty good, so it’s a good choice for the laptop equivalent of a daily driver.
