PCWorld reports Chrome's new'Device Bound Session Credentials' feature is now available for Google accounts and Workspace users to combat session hijacking. This security enhancement binds login cookies to specific devices, making stolen cookies useless to hackers even after successful authentication. The feature provides crucial protection beyond existing measures like passkeys and two-factor authentication, offering developers a standardized implementation method. As good as passkeys and two-factor authentication are, they can't fully prevent someone from breaking into (and possibly stealing) an account. But a new feature in Chrome should make that possibility much harder--provided website operators start making use of it.

Geekom's A6 mini PC is down to $479 at Amazon, a special $170 discount from its original $649 with discount code at checkout. This mini PC stands out for its workstation-class speed and incredible price-performance, all packed into an ultra-compact, premium aluminum chassis. At the heart of this mini PC is an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU, which might be a 2022-era chip but don't let that turn you away. It's still a very capable eight-core processor built on AMD's Zen 3+ mobile architecture that prioritizes efficiency, meaning performance-per-watt over sheer power. That makes it suitable as a workstation for remote workers.

PCWorld compares Nvidia's RTX Spark and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite processors for AI-powered mini PCs, highlighting their distinct strengths for different use cases. Qualcomm's chip excels in single-core performance and general productivity tasks, while Nvidia's platform dominates AI content creation and gaming with its RTX 5070-equivalent GPU. The choice depends on specific needs, as both face compatibility challenges with some applications requiring emulation or specialized optimization for optimal performance. One big thing changed at Computex this past week: Windows on Arm processors became the next big thing for Windows desktops, specifically for mini PCs designed for productivity and AI applications. So which Arm processor is the best bet? Until they hit our test bench, we can't say for sure.

Apple's secret is that, like the Queen of England, it is never early, and never late. It is always on time.

PCWorld interviewed Intel Fellow Tom Petersen at Computex 2026 about Intel's new Arc G3 Extreme chipset designed for handheld gaming PCs. Intel claims the Arc G3 Extreme delivers a 42% performance advantage over AMD's competing Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor. The chipset targets sustained high performance in thin and light portable devices, potentially revolutionizing the handheld gaming market. Intel's new Arc G3 Extreme chipset could be a game-changer for handheld gaming PCs, and we got our first glimpse of how that'd be on the show floor at Computex 2026.

An OLED upgrade for your gaming monitor is a hot ticket this year, since no one can afford to upgrade their actual PCs. For example, B&H is selling an Asus 32-inch, 4K OLED under its pricey ROG label for just $599. The Asus (deep breath) ROG Strix OLED XG32UCDS is a 3rd-gen QD-OLED monitor, so a little behind the curve from the latest 2026 models. But with 4K resolution and 165 hertz, it's still packing plenty of gorgeous, speedy performance for PC gamers who want to show off their hardware.

Microsoft Edge has eliminated its Master Password feature, now requiring Windows Hello biometric authentication (fingerprint, face, or PIN) to access saved passwords. PCWorld reports this change, implemented June 4th, 2026, represents Microsoft's broader shift toward passwordless security and passkey adoption. Windows Hello provides enhanced protection by linking authentication to the physical device rather than relying on traditional master passwords. Microsoft has made a major change to its Edge browser, removing support for the so-called Master Password feature. The Master Password (also known as the Custom Primary Password) was a single "master password" that you had to enter before using password manager features like auto-fill and showing saved login credentials.
