Desktop and handheld prices going out of control means PC bargain hunts lead to my old enemy: gaming laptops
I don’t know if memory shortages have permanently killed off the concept of 'cheap' gaming PCs, but they have at least beat it into a coma. On the desktop side, inflated RAM, SSDs and graphics card prices continue to inflict karmic pain for our years of "It's cheaper to build it yourself" smugness, while formerly affordable handheld PCs are either suffering 40%-plus jackups or launching above £1K from the off. And the Steam Machine! The poor, square Steam Machine.
Every few weeks, possibly in denial, I’ll skim through the shops to see what budget games kit actually looks like in this day and age. Across the last five or six rounds, little has changed: the entry point into decent, more-or-less current-spec 1080p play remains stuck in the low quadruple figures, particularly if you’re fully new to PC ownership and need to factor in a monitor and peripherals. There is one exception, assuming you don’t fancy your luck on the secondhand market, but giving it a hands-on appraisal means confronting an ancient hardware foe of mine. And you all know how little I like to have my prejudices challenged.
Still, research suggests that yes, this truly is the most gaming PC you can get for under £999. So, um. Here it goes. May…maybe gaming laptops aren’t so bad.

Halo's new steward Activision reportedly considering rebooting the series, with a team in Sledgehammer Games leading the charge
We recently learned that Microsoft gave development of its next Halo game to Activision, where "a new purpose-built team" – separate from the teams working on Call of Duty – has been created to oversee the franchise going forward. Now, in a report from well-known Halo and Xbox insider Rebs Gaming, a possible timeline about how the process progressed internally at Microsoft has started to take form.
