That could be Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign, or any of the other 70-plus…
Ever since Apple launched the MacBook Neo, laptop manufacturers have been releasing new machines to compete around the $700 price point. We recently saw Dell enter that space with the student-focused 14S, and now Acer has announced another lightweight Windows laptop at IFA Berlin called the Swift Blade 14. The new 14-inch laptop weighs 799 grams, or 1.76 pounds, and measures 12.9mm thick. That makes it considerably lighter than the 2.7-pound MacBook Neo, while the difference in thickness is relatively small. Acer has not announced pricing yet, so it is too early to determine how closely the Swift Blade 14…

It can support innovation, automation, and data-informed decision-making across various departments. The following sections examine how this technology is being used in some…
Apple’s MacBook Neo has given inexpensive Windows laptops a new benchmark to chase, and Dell is now putting forward the Dell 14S as one of its answers. Announced at IFA 2026, the new 14-inch laptop is aimed at students and young adults, with an aluminum chassis, multiple color options, and a claimed battery life of up to 21 hours. Dell itself describes the 14S as a more affordable student and everyday-use alternative to the MacBook Neo. One important detail is still missing, as Dell has not announced a price yet. The laptop will arrive in North America this fall, with…
The NES library of the Nintendo Switch Online Classics has three new titles: Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom, Ikari Warriors, and R.C. Pro-Am II. Each title is available now to subscribers.Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom was released in 1991 as the final NES entry for the series. Its inclusion means the entire classic Ninja Gaiden trilogy is now available to Switch Online subscribers. The same is true of the R.C. Pro-Am racing series, with its 1992 sequel now joining the original (which has been available on Switch Online since February 2024). The run-and-gun action game…
Huawei’s Watch GT line has always lived somewhere between a traditional smartwatch and a fitness tracker. With the Watch GT 7 Pro, however, Huawei seems to have made a choice: less dress watch, more adventure companion. I’ve been wearing the GT 7 Pro for a handful of days, putting it through workouts, cycling rides, sleep tracking, and plenty of ordinary day-to-day use. My early takeaway is that this is a watch that knows exactly what it wants to be. It isn’t trying to win a feature-for-feature battle with an Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch. Instead, it is leaning hard into…
Mario Kart World was the Switch 2’s big launch title, finally providing a sequel to the biggest Mario Kart game of all time. However, today Nintendo updated Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, originally released in 2017, enhancing its Switch 2 support with some added features. It’s a surprising move, as one might assume Nintendo would have fully moved on to the newer game, but 8 Deluxe is the best-selling Switch game of all time, and many still prefer it to World, so it’s a welcome improvement.The most impactful change for most is the addition of more players to local multiplayer. Previously,…
There are plenty of smartwatches that can tell you how many steps you’ve taken, how well you slept, and whether your heart rate is doing something unusual. Then there’s the Huawei Watch D3, which looks at all of that and essentially asks: “That’s nice. But what’s your blood pressure?” I’ve been wearing the Watch D3 for a handful of days now, and it’s quickly become one of the more interesting smartwatches I’ve tested in a while. Not necessarily because it does everything better than the competition, but because it is trying to solve a very different problem. This is a…
Released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, the original Stuntman was a great concept that, for me anyway, proved far too challenging to be fun. Perfection was demanded, and extreme specificity was required for progress. It took all the fun out of controlling a car in a video game, which I imagine is how movie stunt drivers probably really feel after the fifth take of the same sequence, so in that way maybe it was a perfect simulation of the stunt driving experience.But I have always remained enamored with the fun concept. Who wouldn’t want to drive a stunt car…
