The Da Han just opened pre-sales in China with a sticker price under $37,000, similar to entry-level pricing in the United States, but with a feature list that reads like a flagship car’s spec sheet.

Marketing is an essential part of business growth, but launching a campaign can be a costly endeavor. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are lowering this barrier to entry, making marketing cheaper and more accessible; at the same time, they have made differentiation more difficult. As brands rely on AI to produce content at scale, they must ask themselves how to find originality in the haystack. Creativity at the Core Memorable marketing, experts like Ana Marturet argue, begins with creative thinking long before AI becomes part of the process. Brands aren’t marketing to AI agents, but human consumers capable of distinguishing between…

I’ve spent a decent bit of time with the Pixel 11 Pro recently, and there is plenty to love about Google’s latest flagship–even if it made some lackluster hardware updates. Instant Night Sight made me appreciate Google’s low-light photography once again, while Magic Capture has already helped me grab pictures of my cat that I probably would have missed. HiLight is a nifty new addition that Google is being extra protective of, while people have already found a way to liberate it. So, just a few days after its announcement, the phone has caused a buzz. But spending north of…

Gaming monitors have been delivering insane refresh rates for years, but laptop screens have mostly stayed the same. Samsung Display just changed that equation at IMID 2026 in Busan, where it unveiled a 16-inch OLED panel built specifically for laptops that hits a 300Hz refresh rate. Why does 300Hz on a laptop actually matter? Samsung says this is the first time any self-emissive laptop display has reached 300Hz, and that’s a big deal if you use your laptop for anything beyond emails and spreadsheets. Higher refresh rates mean smoother motion, whether you’re scrolling through a webpage, editing video, or actually…
