PC Perspective Podcast

The Steam Deck was announced the morning after our show last week, so we're talking about now - a week late!

What is left to say about Microsoft's "security" requirements for Windows 11? How much time do you have??

And we cover a couple of reviews published this week on the SK Hynix 1TB P31 Gold and the Z590 ASRock Taichi.  The gears move.  Plus burger of the week. Topics are all accounted for in...

Join us this week as we present all the news that's fit to podcast! We explore the SI-only launch of AMD's 6900XT LC, take a first look at Windows 11, and revel in the Meshlicious mini-ITX experience. And best of all, this week's show features some of the worst audio quality in recent memory thanks to an echo that can be heard through most of it! (Somehow the phenomenon does not occur when Josh is...

Another week, another Ti card. And it's already sold out! But don't worry, we talk about other stuff you can't buy, like the massive Noctua NH-P1 fanless CPU cooler.

Just in the nick of time, we're back podcasting to discuss (at some length) the RTX 3080 Ti launch, as well as AMD's COMPUTEX news and some other things. Oh, and a "burger" of the week. You won't want to miss this episode. Then again, if you watched it live then you probably didn't read this, and if you didn't then you almost certainly didn't read this. Good day.

No news?!  Not in our world! We have plenty to talk about in this unrehearsed, totally unscripted episode which in no way typifies our usual output. Not at all. But far more importantly, after last week's omission we are happy to report that Josh returns with a rousing BURGER OF THE WEEK (tm).

Not one but TWO launch reviews for the RX 6700 XT, the long term use review of the Lenovo P1 Gen 3 4k laptop (the online article has way more info) and Corsair released their first 60% mechanical keyboard.  As per the timestamps, we also dive into pricing and performance for the Intel 11th Gen CPUs, Micron done with 3D XPoint, RTX 3060 mining speed self-own, and AMD AGESA updates maybe finally fix...
