Apple’s main business still revolves around the iPhone, with roughly half of the revenue being brought in by these devices. But this is why it feels so strange that the company managed to build a better entry-level Apple laptop than an entry-level iPhone. The MacBook Neo starts at $599 in the US, with buyers getting a full aluminum build, a 13-inch hi-res Liquid Retina display, Apple silicon, and all-day battery life. Apple is clear about what it has built. This isn’t a Pro machine with the powerful M series processors. But despite the various cutbacks in hardware, it still feels…
If you have ever gone down a rabbit hole while searching for something online, you know the drill. You open one tab, follow a link, open another, and another, and suddenly you have 14 tabs open and zero answers. It was one of the reasons that forced me to switch to Arc Browser, which offered easier-to-manage vertical tabs, which, incidentally, Google Chrome also added a week back. But Google is not stopping there, and is adding a meaningful upgrade to AI Mode in Chrome to fix this issue. So, what has Google done to solve tab chaos? The biggest change…
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is down to $1,719.99 in a limited-time deal, a $400 saving off its $2,119.99 list price, and this is the 512GB configuration worth holding out for. Foldable phones have matured considerably over the last two generations, and the Z Fold7 is the clearest argument yet that the form factor has moved well past novelty territory. What you’re getting The large inner display is the reason anyone buys a Z Fold7, and Samsung has continued to refine the crease and hinge to the point where it stops being something you notice after the first few hours.…
Post-apocalyptic settings have always had a unique pull across every form of media, and few game series have captured that atmosphere as well as Metro. That’s why the Metro 2039 announcement has me excited. With Metro Exodus, the last entry in the series felt more grounded and more outward-looking, with the darker psychological unease, which made Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light so popular, only making minor cameos. But the first reveal of Metro 2039 looks like it is dragging the series back into the dark—and then pushing it somewhere even stranger. Metro started as rejected online fiction, and that…
Up until now, using Google Gemini meant being very specific. If you wanted an image, you’d spell it all out, the mood, the lighting, the tiny details, just to get something close to what you had in mind. That’s still how most AI tools operate. But this is where things start to shift. With the integration of Nano Banana 2 and Google Photos, Gemini feels much more familiar. It leans on your preferences, what you like, what you usually capture, and the kind of visuals you gravitate towards, and uses that context to shape what it creates for you. So…
Apple TV+ has quietly built one of the more interesting libraries among the popular streaming platforms. Somewhere between the buzzy dramas and the shows that everyone seems to be talking about, there are a handful of genuinely great series just sitting there, unwatched. So let’s fix that this weekend. Whether you are in the mood for a thriller that messes with your grip on reality or something that will haunt you using nothing but sound, there is something here for you. Here are three underrated Apple TV+ shows worth your time. We also have guides to the best new movies to…
This week, I went looking for some genuinely good underrated movies so you don’t have to. What I found is a solid trio that covers three different moods. One will make you sweat through a dinner party, one will make you paranoid about your neighbours, and one will make you want to adopt a ginger cat immediately. Best part? They are all free to watch movies on Tubi. So here are my picks for this weekend. We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best movies…
Middle-earth is calling again, and this time it is Gollum leading the way. Warner Bros. officially confirmed a December 2027 theatrical release for The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. The movie comes with a returning cast of beloved characters, some bold new additions, and a story drawn from the footnotes and appendices of Tolkien’s books that was never fully dramatised – and that is exactly what makes it worth telling. Here is everything we know so far about the new LOTR spinoff. Where does The Hunt for Gollum fit in the Lord of the Rings timeline? The…
I really didn’t want to believe it, but here we are. Apple is now looking like the sensible laptop brand. Not the cool underdog. Not the affordable alternative. Apple, in 2026. The reason is not that the company suddenly became generous, but rather the rest of the competition has suddenly become so deranged that a MacBook lineup starting at $599 feels weirdly grounded. Apple’s MacBook Neo starts at $599, while Microsoft’s own 13-inch Surface Laptop now starts at $1,199 after this month’s price hikes. This isn’t a small gap that you can ignore. Meanwhile, Apple’s MacBook Air with M5 starts…
Your Netflix app is about to get a social media makeover. The streaming giant confirmed in its Q1 2026 earnings letter to shareholders that a redesigned mobile app with a vertical video discovery feed is arriving by the end of April. “This redesign will better reflect our expanding entertainment offering and make it easier for members to engage how and when they want,” the letter reads. How is Netflix using vertical video to help you find your next watch? Netflix first tested a version of this in early 2025, but the rollout was limited. In beta testing, the vertical video…
