For years, Apple has leaned on student discounts to lower the barrier to entry and quietly funnel the next generation of phone, tablet, and laptop buyers into its ecosystem. The newly launched MacBook Neo feels like the next evolution of that strategy. Despite all its shortcomings, the Neo’s more affordable price tag makes the jump into macOS easier to justify for students who would otherwise default to cheap Windows laptops or Chromebooks. If Apple’s long-term game is to lock in loyalty early, the MacBook Neo might just be the perfect bait to catch them young. Hook: The price Apple has…

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has just hit the market, and the perceptions are divided. Irrespective of the debate around it, I had already made up my mind to make the upgrade.

Having spent days going through all its upgrades and downgrades – yes, there are many – I decided to skip this update with a heavy heart after all the early enthusiasm. If you, too, are planning to…

Since 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins, Ubisoft has continued to expand on the open-world possibilities of its marquee franchise. While this push for more has been received well by fans, there’s been a distinct lack of focus on the tenets of Assassin’s Creed that made this series what it is today: parkour, stealth, and assassination. Wanting to celebrate 15 years of Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft Bordeaux created Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a lean back-to-basics entry that’s the first in years you can beat in less than 80 hours.  Through its roughly 15-hour story, players control Basim Ibn Is’haq, whom we first saw as…

Between leaked art books, insider reports, and more, all signs point to it being real. Now, Ubisoft has added fuel to the fire with a pretty straightforward tease. The company released an Assassin’s Creed franchise update today – read Game Informer’s full report on it here – and in it, new Head of Content Jean Guesdon, who was also creative director on Black Flag, alluded to the rumored remake.  “Speculation around Assassin’s…

Apple launching a truly affordable MacBook was something many had been waiting for. The MacBook Neo was announced with a starting price of $599, making it the most accessible entry point into the MacBook lineup. At first glance, it sounds like a dream device for students, casual users, and anyone who wants macOS without spending nearly a thousand dollars. But once you dig into the details, it becomes clear that Apple cut a few too many corners to hit that price tag. Some of these compromises make an older MacBook Air, especially the M4 model, a far better long-term buy.…
