A flagship laptop deal has to survive the full spec check: chip, RAM, storage, display, seller, and final price. These two listings pass that test in different ways, which is why they’re the first pair I’d compare before chasing louder Prime Day discounts. Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 Pros Beautiful colorful AMOLED panel Slim lightweight convertible design Free bundled responsive stylus Strong AI graphics processing Generous versatile port layout Cons Weak disappointing onboard speakers Stiff mushy keyboard keys Aggressive reflections outside doors Uncomfortable tablet mode ergonomics amsung’s case starts with the screen. The Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 has a 16-inch…

Elon Musk’s Starlink has already changed how millions of people access the internet, especially in places where traditional broadband struggles to reach. Now, the satellite internet service could be preparing for an even bigger leap — becoming your mobile carrier. According to a Financial Times report, SpaceX has told investors it’s considering launching a retail Starlink mobile service in the US. Instead of simply partnering with wireless carriers, the company could begin selling mobile plans directly to consumers, putting it in direct competition with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Starlink may stop playing the supporting role So far, Starlink has largely…

YouTube just rolled out four updates for Shorts, and they cover everything from long-requested quality-of-life fixes to changes that are going to divide opinion. Starting with the good stuff, YouTube is adding a Clear Screen mode that strips away every overlay from the Shorts player, letting the video fill the full screen without clutter. So what exactly is changing on YouTube Shorts? Shorts are also getting 2x playback speed (by pulling down on the screen), something that long-form content consumers have enabled by default, especially for podcasts. I can see people using 2x speed for Shorts that are closer to…

A new website is doing something many frustrated security experts have wanted for years. It is publicly naming big companies that still refuse to support passkeys. Called Why No Passkeys, the site tracks major platforms that continue to rely on old-school passwords even as passkeys become the safer option. If you use apps like Instagram, Netflix, or Spotify, you might be surprised to see them on the list. The website was created by security researcher Scott Helme, who previously teamed up with Troy Hunt in 2017 to launch WhyNoHTTPS, a site that helped push much of the internet toward encrypted…

For months, the memory crisis was everyone else’s problem, but it didn’t affect Apple. While smartphone and laptop makers quickly gave in, raising prices across their entry-level and flagship products, Apple stood strong, absorbing costs through long-term supplier deals that gave it leverage most brands simply didn’t have. The situation, I fear, has gotten worse. Earlier today, the Cupertino giant revised the prices for multiple products, including the MacBooks, iPads, and Mac Studio.  How much did Apple raise prices? The two products that will sting the most immediately are the MacBook Air and the MacBook Neo.  The 13-inch M5 MacBook…

Gamers often struggle with overpriced headsets that suffer from poor comfort, weak microphone performance, and unstable connections, all of which can negatively impact the gaming experience. As a brand focused on practical gaming peripherals, NUBWO introduces the HG04L and G06, delivering quality gaming audio at an affordable price.

NUBWO addresses this need by focusing product design on real gaming experiences rather than unnecessary gimmicks. Guided by the philosophy of “bringing…

Nothing is gearing up to launch a new budget phone early next month, and the company recently gave us an early look at its design. While it hasn’t revealed the device’s specifications, a new leak has outlined what the Phone 4b may offer in terms of display, chip, battery, and storage. Key specifications revealed According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the Nothing Phone 4b will come in three colors. Nothing has already showcased the device in a blue colorway, but there’s no word yet on what the other colors could be. The leak also points to two storage configurations, 128GB and…

Summer has a way of exposing the difference between products that promise convenience and those that genuinely deliver it. Few categories illustrate that better than robotic pool cleaners. Options have multiplied over the past few years, bringing cordless designs, app controls, and increasingly sophisticated navigation to a market that once relied heavily on manual cleaning. Yet many pool owners still encounter familiar frustrations: robots that miss sections of the pool, struggle with irregular layouts, require multiple cleaning cycles, or leave surface debris and cloudy water for separate tools to handle. Artificial intelligence has rapidly become the defining feature across consumer…

It looks like Apple’s silicon strategy is primed for yet another big overhaul. According to a fresh report by Bloomberg, the upcoming M6 processor will only get a baseline version, and there won’t be any Pro or Max variants offered for it. Instead, Apple is reserving those powerful upgrades for the M7 series of silicon, including an Ultra version planned for it.  “The company is taking this unusual step in order to fast-track technologies that it originally planned to release later. The change should help meet growing demand for on-device AI capabilities and more graphics-intensive software,” says the report.  Apple’s…

Microsoft has just announced that the price of Xbox consoles is going up in the US as the company stares at an unprecedented industry-wide crisis. The price of the 512 GB models is going up by $100, and if you are interested in buying the 1 TB models, expect to pay $150 above the current asking price. Additionally, Microsoft is also discontinuing the 2 TB storage model, and it’s not surprising why.  What’s happening? Microsoft notes that the industry is currently going through an unprecedented crisis where the cost of memory and storage chips has ballooned dramatically. Specifically, the company…
