Prosumer hardware is always really expensive, and it's no different for hardware such as the Apple Pro Display XDR—a monitor that, despite being six years old, still starts at a whopping $4,999. Newer technologies are coming to eat its lunch, though, and now, LG is launching a monitor that might look very appealing if you've been eyeing something like this.
USB in general has historically always been hit or miss. Sometimes you can get really good USB support on a computer, or sometimes you get the bare minimum (which might not be amazing). Now, as of new Windows 11 PCs released this year, the "minimum" is actually decent now.
Notepad has been around for decades, but Microsoft only really started "upgrading" the app with Windows 11. It looks, and feels, much more modern now. And with the latest update, it's going a step further, though some users might be conflicted with this.
USB-C being standard means that you can charge most of your tech with the same charger, but the key thing is finding a charger that fits the bill in the first place. If you're still looking, this charger might be a good option for cheap.
Thunderbolt 5 is a relatively new tech, but it packs some insane speed gains, and if your hardware supports it, gadgets using it can be a great addition to any laptop or computer. Anker recently released a Thunderbolt 5 dock, but you can already score a significant discount.
Ever since Spotify added podcasts, it has become one of the top apps for listening to podcasts on the go, but it's still not a dedicated podcast app—and sometimes, it shows. Its main focus is, still, music. Now, though, it's getting slightly better for podcasts.
Apple's self-service repair program is seen by some as being a bit on the half-baked side, but to Apple's credit, it has been slowly improving it with new devices and parts. Now, the iPad is finally joining the list of devices that you can repair at home.
When Microsoft releases a new major update to Windows 11, the company wants you to update your computer, and therefore quickly deprecates the previous versions. In a relatively rare move, Microsoft is rolling out a few updates to Windows 11 23H2 and 22H2.
When people look at gaming PCs, they tend to imagine gigantic, honking monsters, but a gaming PC can actually get pretty small while still playing games. Case in point—this ASUS tiny PC packs some serious hardware capable of gaming.
AI is everywhere these days. And it's only going to get worse. Our browsers have, so far, been spared from the madness for the most part, with only minor integrations at best. Microsoft's Edge browser is due to get an "AI mode" that evokes heavy Clippy vibes.
The Mac mini is probably the smallest computer in Apple's lineup. This is technically not in Apple's lineup—an argument could be made that it used to be—but it's probably the tiniest Apple computer your eyes will ever gaze at.
The PlayStation 5 currently comes with 1 TB of storage, while the PlayStation 5 Pro has 2 TB. If you bought the original PS5, you have only 825GB. Not great. It has rarely been this cheap to add an extra 2TB to your console, though.
Trade-ins are a good option for saving money on a new iPhone. Sadly, though, Apple recently decided to decrease trade-in values towards new phones. Now, they're being slightly brought back up again, albeit seemingly for a limited time.
The list of companies making SoCs for Android phones is a small but healthy one. We have Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung (also Google, though that's still kind of Samsung for the time being since its chips are made by Samsung). Now, there's a new player in town—though you might not ever be able to check it out.
Many prioritize indoor smart lights, but outdoor lights are also important, and you can also make those smart, just like you would put a smart outdoor camera by your doorstep. Govee's latest outdoor smart lights might be a good choice if you've been considering getting some to keep the lights on at night.
We're used to seeing the occasional ad on Google Search, but it's a new era, and now AI is helping you with your search queries as well. The bad news is that Google is, too, making efforts to embed ads in those AI search results as well. Now, they're being greatly expanded.
If you've been looking at Intel cards as an alternative to the NVIDIA/AMD duopoly, you might have found that there's not a whole ton of manufacturers making custom Arc cards. Acer has just revealed a couple of custom Intel cards, though, so your options have widened just a tad bit. And one of them is absolutely tiny.
Threadripper CPUs are not worth putting on a gaming PC most of the time, but if you have a particular use case that can really benefit from having a lot of cores and threads, this is probably the CPU to get. AMD has just refreshed its Threadripper range with the new Threadripper 9000 and Threadripper Pro 9000 series.
Not too long ago, we heard that AMD wanted to step back from the flagship graphics card market, and that decision has been strongly reflected in its Radeon RX 9000 lineup. Both of the cards we've seen in this range are mid-range cards, and now, we're going even cheaper with the addition of the Radeon RX 9060 XT.
