It may lack the punch to handle demanding tasks such as editing multimedia files, but for daily activities like creating reports and building presentations - and watching streaming shows when you're on a break - the Dell XPS 13 will prove to be a dependable companion. It's going to be powerful enough for most people, including professionals and students, with its 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 8GB of RAM. The various versions of the Dell XPS 13 has been a fixture in our roundup of the best laptops, with this particular model holding its spot as an affordable and well-built mainstream option, and the best Windows laptop in our list. If you're looking for laptop deals, this is a highly recommended purchase, but you have to hurry as it may get sold out at any moment. Once the $200 discount on the laptop's original price of $799 expires, it will be gone for good as it makes way for the updated version of the popular laptop. With the announcement of a new Dell XPS 13, alongside the departure of the Dell XPS 15 and Dell XPS 17 as they'll be replaced by the Dell XPS 14 and Dell XPS 16, now's your last chance to get the outgoing model of the Dell XPS 13 for a very affordable $599. Here’s hoping those potential Matrix spinoffs actually get off the ground. Remember, the Matrix is a system and that system is our enemy, and that system may or may not run on Windows Millennium. The 1999 smash hit, The Matrix, inspired this cryptic “digital rain” screensaver. Splice in a couple of galaxies, some nebular remnants, add a dollop of two-dimensional goodness to taste and, my friend, you’ve got yourself a regular desktop hit. This gem stands as a true testament to the seemingly boundless joy human beings once experienced at the mere sight of just about anything glinting off of their monitors. With this digital aquarium, you can experience the same ephemeral, emotional benefits of a pet fish without the cleanup or a constant, electric drone echoing through your lonely apartment. Ocean floorĪs it turns out, this screensaver, much like the vast majority of the ocean floor, is relatively void of life. Behold MOPy fish, a blood parrot cichlid that individuals could feed and cherish - or not. With our lanyards and keychains already loaded with digital pets in varying degrees of neglect and malnourishment, we needed yet another for our desktop machines. MOPy Fish was the result of both screensaver fever and the short-lived digital pet craze of the late-’90s. We get to watch ol’ JC fish, exercise, build sand castles, and enjoy an oddly-formal dinner with a merbae, but is he ever rescued? You’ll just have to buy one of the original, 3.5-inch floppy disks (or download the screensaver) to find out. The screensaver illustrates a day in the life of Johnny Castaway, who is marooned on a deserted island with only a palm tree to hear his woes. Johnny Castaway was a staple in many repurposed “computer rooms” of the mid-’90s. Flying toastersĪfter Dark is a series of screensavers released by Berkely Systems, and the early packages included the popular Flying Toasters screensaver. Later variants even came loaded with all sorts of special features, like, you know, bagels. However, its possible that the same technique we used to get Johnny Castaway working, will also work for MOPy Fish. Note: If you watch long enough you will eventually collide with a portion of a debris field in a galaxy far, far away. Theres no known workaround for getting MOPy Fish to work on 64-bit versions of Windows. You can watch 10 hours of Starfield here, if you’re so inclined. This spacefarer screensaver was ubiquitous at the turn of the Willenium, because nothing says “warp speed ahead” quite like a dial-up connection. You can alter speed and even add some shoddy graphics to go full-on bad batch at Bonnaroo, or even upload images from your media library and have a regular “this is your life” walkabout through a phantasmagoria of low-res images. Who needs virtual reality when you can plop down in front of an HP Pavilion and behold this? The 3D Maze originally came with Windows 95 and 98, and the Doom-esque first-person thriller gave millions of individuals a real hoot. It would be preposterous to have a roundup of the best screensavers and not mention perhaps the most recognizable program of them all.
