It’s not the biggest discount in the world, but it’s the kind of price cut that makes a premium workout-focused pair easier to justify—especially if you’re tired of “good enough” earbuds that don’t stay put.

If you’ve been waiting for a prebuilt that doesn’t force compromises on the two parts that matter most for gaming: CPU and GPU, this discount is worth paying attention to. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 is down to $1,529.99 (was $1,879.99), saving you $350. In the current PC landscape, you rarely see a configuration anchored by the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with a modern NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 at a price that feels this reasonable for a ready-to-go desktop. I like this kind of deal because it’s not trying to win on one flashy spec while cutting corners everywhere…

If you’ve been missing a BlackBerry-style keyboard phone, iKKO is betting you’ll make room for MindOne. It’s roughly credit-card sized, designed for thumb typing, and aimed at people who want a smaller device that feels intentional instead of endless-scroll friendly.

MindOne leans on a MediaTek platform and SIMO connectivity to keep data available when your usual connection isn’t. The BlackBerry vibe is the point This is a keys-first device, and…
Nintendo revealed Mario Tennis Fever, a Switch 2 exclusive, during a Direct that aired last September. Now, with roughly a month to go until the game’s February 12 release date, the company has released a new overview trailer highlighting nearly 6 minutes of gameplay, including a look at the series’ largest roster of playable characters. That’s because Mario Tennis Fever features 38 different characters, ranging from fan-favorites like Mario and Luigi to more mischievous players like Dry Bones and Baby Waluigi. Alongside those 38 characters, Mario Tennis Fever features 30 Fever Rackets, which are all-new to the series and allow you…
Samsung first showcased its rolling robot, Ballie, at CES six years ago. Since then, the company has periodically updated the concept, unveiling a new design with a built-in projector in 2024 and adding AI features last year. At CES 2025, Samsung promised that Ballie would launch later in the year, but that never happened. Now, a new report suggests the project may have been shelved indefinitely. Although Samsung hasn’t made an official announcement, Bloomberg reports that the company has had a change of plans. Instead of launching Ballie as a consumer product, the robot will now serve as an “active…

Bose makes some of the best speakers around, but they also cost a pretty penny. So when the company revealed plans to drop support for its SoundTouch models and remove key features last year, many owners were understandably not happy. Following mounting backlash, the company has now shared an update that offers some respite. According to Bloomberg, Bose has told affected users in an email that its SoundTouch products will lose cloud connectivity on May 6, instead of February 18 as previously announced. The speakers will continue to work with local sources following the new deadline, and even retain access…
NuPhy’s CES 2026 lineup includes a keyboard that is trying to solve a familiar desk problem.

The simple promise is a quick shift between low-profile typing and standard-profile gaming. If it works as advertised, you can keep one keyboard on your desk all day and stop treating “work board” and “game board” as separate purchases. A profile swap on demand The Kick75’s defining move is that profile change. Low-profile layouts can feel faster and more comfortable for…
Smart glasses often chase add-ons like displays and cameras. Unlike, say, the Ray-Ban Meta, IXI is chasing a problem that hits a lot of people every day, seeing clearly when your eyes bounce between a phone, a laptop, and the world ahead. Its autofocus smart glasses are built to change focus in real time, and the company showed the concept at CES 2026. For anyone living in the in-between zone of needing help up close and at a distance, the usual answer is bifocals or varifocals. Those can work well, but they can also lock you into a narrow sweet…
