The Coleco Adam Computer
The Coleco Adam Computer
By rbanffy

The Coleco Adam computer was a home computer released in 1983 by Coleco, a toy and game console maker. It was announced with high anticipation but failed to meet expectations due to production issues, high defect rates, and poor design choices. The computer was initially priced at $525 but was later increased to $725, and its release was delayed several times. Despite its potential, the Adam was ultimately discontinued in 1985, with Coleco selling only around 300,000-400,000 units. The company lost nearly $50 million due to the Adam's struggles and eventually went out of business in 1988. The Adam's failure can be attributed to its poor execution, high price, and competition from other home computers, such as the Commodore 64. However, the Adam still maintains a cult following and is remembered as an interesting "might-have-been" in the history of home computers.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB Review: Not Good
AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB Review: Not Good

June 6, 2025 • By Steven Walton

AMD's new Radeon 9060 XT GPU offers impressive performance for a mainstream GPU, but the company's decision to release two versions - one with 8GB of VRAM and another with 16GB - is puzzling. The 8GB model is not sufficient for modern gaming, with many games already pushing past the 8GB limit. Benchmark tests show significant performance gaps between the two models, with the 16GB version outperforming the 8GB version in various games. The 8GB model's performance is further hindered by system memory bandwidth, making it unsuitable for modern gaming. AMD's decision to release the 8GB model is seen as anti-consumer and driven by profit, as it will require an upgrade sooner, benefiting the company and system integrators but not the customer. The article concludes that the 8GB version should not exist in 2025 and advises against buying any 8GB GPU unless it's under $200.

Don’t wait too long to sell your original Nintendo Switch
Don’t wait too long to sell your original Nintendo Switch

June 5, 2025 • By Patricia Hernandez

The Nintendo Switch 2 is imminent, and selling your original Switch might be a good idea to help afford the new console's $449.99 price tag. The market value for used Switch consoles is currently low, with a Switch Lite selling for $100-$120 and a fully-sized Switch 1 selling for $165-$250. Prices are impacted by factors like condition, accessories, and model. Trading in your console at GameStop can net you up to $85 in store credit, but values are expected to drop as the Switch 2 becomes more mainstream. It's recommended to sell your original Switch now rather than waiting, as prices may decrease over time.
