Project Zero motherboards from MSI arrived at the beginning of the year, and they quickly garnered praise for hiding all of their cable headers on their backs, leaving no clutter or awkward cable management on the side. The story goes that around a decade ago, the founder of Maingear pitched this type of motherboard to computing companies, only to be laughed out of meetings. Now, in 2024, Maingear leads the charge in prebuilt machines that use these motherboards.
Thebest gaming PCsare often thought of as filled to the brim with bloatware, and thanks to a few veteran brands, a lot of shoppers are worried about their limited upgradability. Maingear is on the frontline of the fight against that reputation though, it builds beautifully constructed gaming PCs with custom liquid cooling, and it keeps all of the annoying bloatware to an absolute minimum.
Although it’s pricier than some other brands out there, the selection of configurations and parts on offer in the Maingear Zero range is nothing short of stellar.

It boasts massive improvements in cooling and design over the larger Orion 7000, and shows that not every monster of a prebuilt gaming PC needs to be a hulking great mass that takes up all the room under your desk. The Orion X packs all of the power of an RTX 4080 into a small chassis that can actually sit atop your desk with ease. If this becomes available in the US in 2025, the market could be in for a serious shake-up.

Best gaming laptop - Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9
(Image credit: Future)
While fewer internal upgrades meant brands went all in on displays this year, Lenovo kept things classic with a super powerful 16-inch machine that pitches below competitors' price points.
TheLenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9is a premium device, with only RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 GPUs on the market and a top of the range Intel i9-14900HX. Its performance is incredibly impressive, its display offers a stunningly vivid picture without the need of an expensive OLED panel, and its 16-inch form factor feels far more streamlined than the chunkier options next to it on the shelves. 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. You’re getting everything you need for a high-end laptop experience without paying for extra faff or fancy features. It beat bigger, more cumbersome RTX 4080 machines (like theAsus ROG Strix Scar 16) in in-game benchmark testing, while still out-performing the slimmer RTX 4090 Razer Blade 16 in some tests as well (and at a considerably lower price).
We didn’t get any new GPUs in 2024, and Intel’s 14th Gen processors offered only incremental upgrades in performing power. That meant gaming laptop brands had to find a new way to innovate - and a lot of that brain power went on displays. OLED panels are premium, though, and have their own drawbacks. While I loved the displays on theAsus ROG Zephyrus G14andG16models (and my runner up is here purely because of such a development), Lenovo managed to keep raw performance at the top of its priority list while still impressing in its visuals. That’s a considerable feat, especially when it’s also offering some of the best value for money in its class.

This is the best display I’ve seen on a gaming laptop yet, with a level of vividity and contrast that sets it apart from the rest of the market - considerably so.

Best handheld - Anbernic RG Cube
(Image credit: Future)
The Anbernic RG Cube is, without a doubt, an oddball handheld - but its strangely square screen is what helps it stand out in 2024.
Of course, the RG Cube has more than a weird display to offer. It’s a solid handheld with Hall effect thumb sticks, satisfying buttons, and a Quad-core Mali-G57 GPU doing the heavy lifting. While the screen is admittedly better suited to older adventures with square pixels, the overall package is more than capable of running Dreamcast and PS2 games, and it’s surprisingly good at mimicking the DS/3DS using its touchscreen abilities and extra vertical space.
Runner upAyaneo Flip DSIt’s safe to say that theAyaneo Flip DSis one of the most ambitious handheld gaming PCs I’ve tested yet. I mean, who would have thought a company would have the guts to turn the 3DS into a Ryzen-powered portable rig that provides dual-screen functionality for emulation and runs Cyberpunk 2077? Well, the answer is Anbernic, and if you’ve got the cash to spend of a premium portable, this beast boosts frame rates across your Steam library and serve as an OP way to play The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

Best monitor - LG UltraGear 32GS95UE-B
(Image credit: Future)
Armed with a gorgeous 4K OLED panel and ridiculously handy dual resolution tricks, theLGUltraGear 32GS95UE-B earns its top gaming monitor status through versatility and fidelity.
As someone who loves to dabble with different game genres and hardware, the 32-inchLG UltraGear 32GS95UE-Bfeels like the perfect panel. That’s largely due to the fact that it can switch from being a 4K 240Hz display to a 1080p 480Hz screen in an instant, something that’ll save you picking up multiplegaming monitorsfor your PC and console setup. Naturally, both modes use a speedy refresh rate that’ll benefit your rig more than a PS5, but I’d argue this screen has both player types covered with some headroom to spare.
I’ve spent a lot of time playing high frame rate shooters and grand 4K adventures on the UltraGear 32GS95UE-B. In both instances, LG’s premium panel serves up super responsive visuals paired with glorious contrast and colors, resulting in a visual experience that feels free from compromise. There’s something extremely pleasing about spending a few hours playing Overwatch 2 at 480Hz then capping off your night playing Baldur’s Gate 3 at 4K.
Resolution-switching magic tricks aside, the UltraGear 32GS95UE-B also makes room for punchy Pixel Sound speakers, which is neat since similar monitors skip on providing audio output. While the year ahead will no doubt feature similar screens that use potentially the exact same LG panel, I’ll likely continue to recommend this model throughout 2025 and beyond.

Best graphics card - Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super
(Image credit: Future)
Building upon the mid-range abilities of last year’s release, theNvidiaGeForce RTX 4070 Super brings elevated performance to 1440p players.
The vanilla RTX 4070 ended up winning the same hardware award last year, which perhaps explains why the Super stands out in 2024. Nvidia has essentially taken what is a solid mid-range GPU and helped it achieve better frame rates, all while maintaining the same MSRP as the original. Simply put, it gave the 70-classgraphics carda boost to help later adopters future-proof, and I’m on board with that.
In my eyes, theRTX 4070 Superis designed to nudge frame rates to more of a sweet spot for both 1440p and 4K. Nvidia doesn’t really market the model as a UHD capable card, but this Zotac Trinity version does bring performance closer to 60fps on average without any upscaling assistance. Adding DLSS 3 into the mix helps the card feel more premium than it actually is, which really helps when it comes to hitting better-than-console visuals in demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077.
Ultimately, the RTX 4070 Super is the graphics card I’d recommend to most PC players in 2024. The original is still worth grabbing for the right price too, but with theRTX 5090and its siblings ready to enter the fold, picking up something with even a modest performance bump is worthwhile. Plus, it means you’ll be better equipped to meet system requirements as you sail through 2025.
Runner upAMD Radeon RX 7800 XTRepresenting excellent value within the mid-range GPU market, theAMD Radeon RX 7800 XTstands out thanks to its surprising 4K abilities and 16GB VRAM. The latter is going to increase your chance of actually hitting UHD resolutions down the road, and the card’s Navi 32 XT GPU can pull off sweet frame rates using tricks like Fluid Motion Frames. This specific model can’t quite keep up with its competition when it comes to ray tracing, and FSR hasn’t quite reached the same heights as DLSS yet. However, for under $500, this card has plenty to offer PC players looking for a nice balance.

Best SSD - Corsair MP600 Elite
(Image credit: Future)
The Corsair MP600 Elite is the latest in a long line of gaming-based SSDs from this brand. I liked the previous version a lot, but this one adds even faster speeds and a beautifully designed heatsink.
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. The market has been a bit stagnant in the last few years as Gen 5 SSDs have started to arrive and prices for existing storage devices have bounced up and down on a trampoline. TheCorsair MP600 Elitehas changed the narrative, bringing those top-performing Gen 4 speeds into a new device that gives the top dogs a serious run for their money.

Best gaming mouse - Razer Viper V3 Pro
(Image credit: Future)
A new shape and Razer’s best sensor yet makes the Viper V3 Pro the top rodent on the market right now.
The Razer Viper range hasn’t changed too much in the last few years - these have historically been flat, skinny speedsters with top of the range sensors and super low weights. Half of that is true for 2024’sRazer Viper V3 Pro, but where the shorter bodies of previous generations may have proved uncomfortable for those with larger hands, the new chunkier grip is excelling. That larger shape won’t be for everyone - it’s got a taller dome with a wider base that some with smaller hands will find less nimble on the battlefield than theViper V2 Pro.
It’s faster and more reliable than competitors like theLogitech G Pro X Superlight 2andGlorious Series 2 Pro, which both opt for similar tall-dome structures in their ergonomics. At this price, and when facing this tournament-ready market, that speed is going to win above all else.

Best gaming keyboard - Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile
(Image credit: Future)
A 65% deck with one of the best typing feels in the business and all the extra features you could ask for.
You would have had a tough time convincing me to like a low profile keyboard before theAsus ROG Falchion RX Low Profilelanded on my desk. Previous skinny-cap decks have felt too slippery, imprecise, and mushy in my own experience, but the Falchion has turned everything on its head to become one of thebest gaming keyboardsI’ve tested so far. Each of the brand’s optical switches feels crisp, clean, and fresh, with a super grippy but still soft keycap up top making for a fantastic typing experience. I was surprised just how fast I could move with these stealthy clackers gently thudding underneath my fingertips, marrying the speed required for twitch-reflex responses with the satisfaction of a tactile, snappy key feel.
The Falchion does much more than perform, though. It’s rare to find a 65% keyboard that manages to both save space and provide access to additional media controls. It’s a small feature, but I do start to seriously miss dedicated volume and playback options whenever I test a compact keyboard without them. Asus has installed a slick touch-sensitive control bar on the top section of its keyboard, though. Running your finger along this panel provides access to a number of different inputs fully customizable in Armory Crate, with multiple different profiles available to swap between.
It’s an incredibly flexible device with on-the-fly macro recording and an easily portable chassis. The Falchion is at home whether stuck on a desk or in a backpack, with a handy transport tray straight out the box, versatile Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connection options, full Mac compatibility.

Best gaming headset - Turtle Beach Atlas Air
(Image credit: Future)
TheTurtle BeachAtlas Air isn’t just the most comfortable headset I’ve ever tested, it also packs a set of unique features I rarely see at this price point.
The market is crying out for more open back headsets, and Turtle Beach has answered the call. The brand released its first open back design in 2024, and theTurtle Beach Atlas Airmade a massive splash - not just in the audio arena. It’s thebest gaming headsetI’ve tested for sheer comfort, with a mesh headband system that relieves any kind of pressure from the crown and a light clamp force around supremely plush cup cushions. I barely registered I was wearing a headset, even during longer sessions. That ergonomic design is second to none.
This is a versatile wireless device, a rarity in this class, designed for easy connection across PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and mobile and with a wired option for Xbox players as well. It’s bringing the wide soundstage and passthrough audio of high-end audiophile devices to the mainstream, and sitting at an excellent price point while doing so.
Rather than closing the driver into the cup design, an open back headset allows for a much wider imaging space. The result is richly textured audio that can actually breathe, rather than staying stuck in the confines of the cup itself. The Atlas Air is the first headset I’ve tested that achieves this open back sound quality in a flexible wireless device. The benefit of going digital rather than acoustic? You’ve still got full access to EQ settings, chat-mix, and sidetone.

Best gaming chair - Fractal Refine
(Image credit: Future)
When a hardware brand reaches into a market they have no prior experience in, it can go one of two ways. 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.
The latter is exactly what Swedish gaming PC company, Fractal Design, did with its first-ever gaming chair this year. TheFractal “Refine"is the perfect name for this chair, because it really does take the traditional design elements of a gaming chair and evolves them a step further.
The perfect example of this is that the Refine is available in both mesh and fabric options for the same price. It bucks one of the most irritating trends among thebest gaming chairbrands, which often launch a totally separate mesh product and hike its price into the stratosphere.
This chair looks incredible, and it feels just as good to sit in. A blend of ergonomics and adjustability is hard for even veteran chair brands to achieve, and Fractal did it with its first attempt.
…Now all it needs to do is work out how to fix armrests in one position

Best controller - Azeron Cyborg II
(Image credit: Future)
The Azeron Cyborg II improves upon the brilliance of the original Cyborg. It’s my favorite gaming controller this year, combining the comfort of thebest PC controllerswith the speed and functionality of a keyboard.
If you’ve never been comfortable playing on a keyboard, but you want more functionality than even the most “pro” controllers can give you, where do you turn? Moreover, if you’re transitioning from console to PC, how can you get the best of both worlds?
Azeron’s Cyborg keypads have been around for a few years now, but the brand’s latest model, theAzeron Cyborg II, dropped in the last few months. It’d be easy to chalk it up to a simple USB-C refresh at first glance, but the brilliant Latvian company has made small refinements to its passion project that make a huge difference.
The result is something that requires a bit of a learning curve to get used to, but soon feels like the most intuitive way to interact with video games. This keypad is like someone time-traveled to the future, saw the innovative hardware that humans were using, and snuck it back to us.

Best VR headset - Pico 4 Ultra
(Image credit: Future)
ThePico 4 Ultrais the Meta Quest competitor the industry needs right now. With Meta’s headsets in such a dominant position in the standalone market, there’s a real demand for an alternative to keep things moving forward, and Pico delivered that in droves this year.
Its design has an excellent way of distributing its weight so that it’s comfortable to wear for long periods of time - and that’s something that even thebest VR headsetscan struggle with. 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 a real shame that the Pico 4 Ultra is only available in the UK and Europe right now because I think if more shoppers had access to a quality Quest 3 alternative, it would only help the VR industry to thrive. In the next year, I really hope enough noise is made about this headset so that the consideration of moving to the US is in sight. This really is the best mixed reality headset to launch this year if you want to play games - and it doesn’t cost $3,500!

Best 3D printer - Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro
(Image credit: Future)
An easy to use 3D printer with fantastic thermal controls, Anycubic is my go-to device from 2024.
When I’m making 3D-printed miniatures for thebest tabletop RPGsor terrain to use in wargaming, I want the process to be as easy as possible. Personally, I don’t have the time to be fussing over many technical details – and I suspect many of you will be the same.
In addition, this thing isfast. I don’t know what sorcery Anycubic has deployed to achieve this, but it’s comfortably the quickest resin printer I’ve used. Considering the fact that the models are pumped out at a crisp 14K resolution as well, this version of the Photon series can’t help but impress. As I mentioned in ourAnycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro review, “of everything I’ve tested so far in 2024, it’s the standout.”

Best board game - Life in Reterra
(Image credit: Future)
It’s rare that a game has me itching to reset the board and start over the moment I’ve finished a match, but Life in Reterra is one of them.
Thanks to simple yet impressively versatile mechanics, it eases players into the swing of things whilst teasing them with a clutch of ‘what ifs.’ What follows is one of thebest board gamesI’ve played in a long time.
Because there are three sets of two-sided buildings (each carrying their own benefit) to choose from or mix and match with, this game also has more replayability than most I’ve seen this year. There are many worthy candidates from 2024 that deserve heaps of praise, of course, but this is the one that’s stuck with me. As I mentioned in myLife in Reterra review, I can see it becoming a modern classic.

Best projector - BenQ X3100i
(Image credit: Future)
TheBenQ X3100itook over from its predecessor, the X3000i earlier this year with a range of image upgrades and some fancy new features under the hood.
It’s the only projector I tested this year that allowed for super-fast console gameplay, and one of the best 4K throwers I’ve binge-watched as well. The X3100i improves contrast and brightness compared to the previous model, pushing 3,300 lumens across a super vibrant image that manages to hold up on even the cheapest of screens (or even a bare wall). With HDR10 and powerful speakers thrown in, this is everything you need for console gaming on the even bigger screen.
Thebest projectorscan be chunky devices, but the X3100i manages to keep things more streamlined than larger Horizon models. The 10.7 x 8.4 x 10.2-inch form factor rises a little taller than the previous model, but it’s still easily placed on most shelves and is light enough to be mounted with a wide range of brackets as well. Placement is much less of a headache than usual here as well. Vertical lens shift has been added via a small dial at the top of the device - a particularly premium feature that doesn’t often make its way to 4K projectors in this price range.
The brand also debuted its SettingXchange software with this device - essentially a bank of presets tailored to specific games that negates the need for an in-depth technical understanding of your picture to get the best experience possible.
Runner upBenQ X300GTheBenQ X300Gjust misses the top spot due to its lower brightness and contrast levels compared to the X3100i, but it would absolutely be the winner if its image was just a little better. This is a super compact device with a short throw, which means it’s actually more versatile than the X3100i overall. Not only that, but its ability to run and charge a handheld PC or Nintendo Switch via a single USB-C cable is a game-changer.

Best retro console - Evercade Alpha
(Image credit: Future)
The Evercade Alpha is somewhat of a disruptor within the at-home arcade scene, as Blaze’s consolized bartop machine serves as multiplatform retro powerhouse.
Adding support for more than a few games to an arcade machine feels like a no-brainer, but theEvercade Alphais one of the first to do it. Rather than relying on a few baked-in titles, Blaze’s counter-top cabinet uses the same cartridges as the Evercade handheld range and Super Pocket, something that gives the Alpha an edge in thebest retro consolering for 2024.
Naturally, the Alpha focuses on providing an arcade feel first and foremost, and it nails that thanks to its exceptional controls and crisp ISP display. However, it can perform most of the same tricks as the Evercade VS too, with USB controller support and dual cartridge slots providing a console feel. There’s no HDMI output, so you will have to use the built-in display if you fancy playing some games on the couch. Still, the cabinet works just as well as a way to play classics like Tomb Raider as it does a Street Fighter 2 machine - a huge boon in my book.
With the Evercade library ever expanding, and six themed games baked in to both the Mega Man and Street Fighter 2 versions, the Alpha will only get better with time. It already offers up an authentic arcade experience while providing access to over 500 retro romps, making it a fantastic time capsule for collectors and casual players alike.

Best streaming device - Elgato Prompter
(Image credit: Future)
Elgato is at its best when it creates those content creation accessories you never knew you needed until you have them sitting on your desk. Then they make you wonder - how did no body else think of this until now?
The Prompter goes a step further though, because it’s not just for the content creator recording pieces to camera every other day. The device’s chat mode makes it a handy way to interact with your audience while you’re live, and using it as an additional monitor is a great way to keep it useful when you’re video editing or working remotely.
All in all, this is one of thebest streaming gadgetsto come out in years.
