If you’re looking for a high-performance gaming computer at a reasonable price point, both Skytech and Dell have some great offerings. With Skytech, you can find high-quality, prebuilt gaming computers like Skytech Archangel. But you can also create a custom gaming computer that meets your specifications. With Dell, most of its gaming computers are prebuilt. That said, it’s possible to get a custom machine from Alienware, a subsidiary of Dell. Before choosing either Skytech or Dell, here’s what you should consider.
The Skytech Archangel is a specific line of gaming computers that Skytech makes. The most recent version is the Skytech Archangel 3.0. This machine has a base model that comes with a 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and a dedicated graphics card. It also comes with a lot of storage and can hold a large library of computer games.
Just like with other desktop computers, it’s possible to upgrade this gaming computer down the line as needed. Typically, the Skytech Archangel gaming computer costs between $1,400-$1,900. This does depend on any customization and upgraded specs you’ve chosen to put into it though.

Skytech Archangel PC RTX 3060
With a powerful AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU and 1 TB solid-state drive, this machine can store plenty of modern computer games. It has 16 GB RAM, a dedicated graphics card and can play games at 1080p on high settings with ease. The cooler fans have configurable in-OS LEDs. This system comes with an RGB keyboard and mouse.

Having been around a lot longer than Skytech, Dell has a wider array of desktop and laptop gaming computers in its arsenal. It also acquired Alienware in 2006, a well-known gaming computer maker. Although Dell has Alienware as a subsidiary, it has its own line of gaming computers as well.
Some of their most popular models include their G series and their Inspiron gaming laptops. The G series starts at a very reasonable price point, which is around $900. Meanwhile, the Inspiron gaming laptops range from around $900-$1,800. The gaming desktops are prebuilt but offer some customization, while the laptops are non-upgradable.

Dell G5 Gaming PC RTX 2060
This powerful gaming desktop comes with 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and a dedicated graphics card, which lets it run modern games and multitask with ease. It has a sleek design with tactically placed, blue LED lighting. With an easy-to-open side panel, this machine is perfect for anyone who wants to customize or upgrade it as well. Although it’s small, it’s a powerful machine that can play graphics-intensive computer games at medium and high settings at 60 FPS.
Available at Amazon

Dell XPS 8940 Gaming Desktop
This gaming desktop has an i7 processor, 32 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, as well as 2 TB hard-drive. It comes with a NVIDIA dedicated graphics card and can run any modern computer game on high settings.

Anguilla, a tiny British overseas territory in the eastern Caribbean Sea, is preparing to ease its pandemic-related travel restrictions, following the lead of dozens of countries that have dropped testing and vaccination requirements, anxious to rebuild tourism and their economies.
This month, the British Virgin Islands, Belize and Australia also eased requirements for visitors. And most of the world’s countries are now open to visitors from the United States, which in June lifted its testing requirement for inbound travelers.
Some countries that closed their borders to tourists at the beginning of the pandemic have done away entirely with requirements for travelers, including the United Kingdom, Iceland and Sweden.
The shift comes even as the Omicron subvariant known as BA.5 has led to a surge in cases in the United States, Western Europe, Japan, Australia and other countries. However, that has occurred mostly without any commensurate surge in deaths, which experts link to more widely available vaccines and Covid-19 treatments, as well as at least some immunity conferred by prior infections.
Erika Richter, vice president of communications at the American Society of Travel Advisors, a trade group, said that travel was continuing to increase as more countries dropped restrictions. In the United States, travel is approaching prepandemic levels, according to Transportation Security Administration checkpoint metrics.
“We have seen since the beginning of the pandemic that travelers who wanted to travel would go through the hoops; they would do what was necessary to travel and to do that trip,” Ms. Richter said. “As more countries lift their restrictions, more people who may have been on the fence and may not have been in that ‘I’ll do whatever it takes’ category are now in the ‘Let’s go’ category.”
Travel restrictions proliferated at the start of the pandemic, as nations tried to keep the coronavirus and its variants at bay. But many were, in the end, no match for the virus’s ability to spread and mutate.
“Travel restrictions make sense when there is a big difference between prevalence and risk when you’re going between points A and B,” William Hanage, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, told The New York Times last month, when the United States dropped its testing requirement for incoming air travelers. “If there isn’t a big difference, then they are not particularly valuable,” he said.
With the summer travel season underway, even more countries are dropping restrictions.
Anguilla’s Ministry of Health said in a statement last week that starting on Aug. 8, the Caribbean island would no longer require vaccinated travelers to provide a negative coronavirus test before their trip. Unvaccinated travelers, who were previously not allowed to enter the country, will be allowed to visit as of Aug. 8 if they provide a negative coronavirus test before departure.
Last week, the British Virgin Islands dropped all of its testing requirements and said arriving travelers would no longer be screened for the coronavirus. Previously, all visitors over age 5, regardless of their vaccination status, had to present a negative coronavirus test taken within 48 hours of arrival.
Belize last week also dropped its requirement that visitors provide a negative coronavirus test or proof of vaccination. Foreign tourists are no longer required to show proof of having purchased Belize travel insurance.
Earlier this month, Australia, which had fully closed to foreign tourists in the first years of the pandemic, dropped its vaccination requirements for visitors, having already dropped its testing rule. States or territories in Australia may have their own requirements for testing and quarantine, and face masks are still required on flights into and within the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a four-tier ranking for coronavirus risk in other countries, with the highest “Level 4” ranking for countries that have “special circumstances,” including the threat of collapse to the health care infrastructure and extremely high case counts. The C.D.C.’s list currently has no countries so designated.

Researchers have simplified the synthesis of a key component of electrically conductive polymers to pave the way for conductive paints and advanced printed electronic components for the development of next-generation devices.
A team from the University of Tskukuba in Japan focused on the investigation of solvents and which ones in particular best facilitate synthesis of polyaniline, an electrically conductive polymer used widely for electronics. In their work they found that a rather common material—that is, iodine—allowed for simple and reliable synthesis of the polymer, paving the way for its use in advanced electronics applications.
Indeed, synthesis of polyaniline for industrial-electronics applications has faced a major limitation for a number of decades in the decision as to which solvent to use to best facilitate synthesis of the polymer. Solvents are typically liquids into which other materials dissolve to make a solution.
Finding one that’s optimized for the process of synthesizing polyaniline can minimize the cost and complexity of manufacturing and make the material suitable for ink-jet printing processes, researchers said. It also can facilitate novel and useful properties in the polymer material, researchers said.
"Polyaniline is an extremely versatile polymer in routine and advanced technologies, but restrictions on which solvents can be used for synthesis have long hindered this versatility," explained University of Tskukuba Professor Hiromasa Goto, one of the researchers on the project, in a press statement. "Our discovery of how to facilitate polymerization in diverse solvents will be useful in basic research and industrial applications."
The team in particular was seeking solvents that are inexpensive and have low boiling points to best allow the material to be used in versatile polymer processing modes such as ink-jet printing, an application that until now has not been possible, researchers said. They used a procedure to produce polyaniline from aniline sulfate, a method that produced a material that exhibited the crystallinity and electrical properties as if it had been prepared by conventional methods, they said.
"A particularly exciting result is the ease of preparing industrially useful polymer alloys, such as blends with polystyrene or cellulose derivatives," Goto said in a press statement. "Electrically conductive paint, advanced rubber blends, and other materials are now straightforward to prepare, which we expect will facilitate product development in diverse fields."
Moreover, they found in their research that adding a small quantity of iodine to the reaction mixture allowed researchers to produce polyaniline from aniline sulfate in a single step, they said.
Indeed, while many solvents were compatible with the procedure—non-toxic ethanol and dichloromethane, among them—iodine particularly facilitated polyaniline production most likely because it is an electron-acceptor dopant, researchers said. This allows it to facilitate production of localized polarons, which is critical to the subsequent polymerization by radical chain reactions, they said.
Researchers published a paper on their work in the journal, Polymer-Plastics Technology and Materials.
The results of the research should make polyaniline more compatible with ink-jet printing and other useful processing technologies. This should simplify production of printed electronic components, such as circuit boards and other common parts, researchers said.
The research also paves the way for developing both routine and advanced electronics technologies at a lower cost, they said.
