Despite its bite-sized form factor, the is a powerhouse. Lenovo first showcased this ultraportable at CES 2024, and initial impressions centered on the return of Magic Bay, a modular family of peripherals that connect to the laptop via magnetic pogo pins (think MagSafe, but for laptops). Also: Laptop battery dying too soon? How to check its health in one click But even though the Magic Bay products might be the most attention-grabbing, this Lenovo laptop has a lot more going for it under the hood. In fact, this laptop is surprisingly versatile.
It's officially last-minute-panic time with just a week left to get your presents bought and wrapped, and the number of items on Amazon with the "arrives before Christmas" is dwindling, and dwindling fast. Our advice? Don't panic, and take a quick look at this awesome 36% off deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ tablet. It's one of those rare tablets that's kid-friendly while not being a glorified toy, so it's a stellar $140 last-minute option for friends and family from young to old.
Choosing the right active noise-cancelling wireless earbuds under Rs 8,000 can significantly improve everyday listening. Whether you're listening to music on your daily commute, taking calls in busy surroundings, or trying to focus while working, good ANC earbuds help reduce background noise and let you hear more clearly. In this price range, factors such as comfort, sound quality, battery life, and noise cancellation performance play an important role in deciding overall value.
The IdeaPad Slim 3 laptop has an Intel 13th Gen Core i5-13420H processor inside and this octa-core chip lets you do a lot of things at once. This processor has a hybrid architecture with four performance cores that can run at speeds of up to 4.6GHz and four efficiency cores that can run at speeds of up to 3.4GHz which means it can do anything from streaming video to working on spreadsheets without any problems.
We've also had a lot of great questions and comments this year from you, our audience. It's now an annual tradition for us to turn the tables on Nilay for our final episode of the year, so we pulled together all the feedback we've received on topics like CarPlay, Monday episode guest suggestions, and - of course - AI. We also received a lot of great questions over the last few weeks asking about how Decoder is put together,
GaN technology makes this charger 51% smaller than Apple's original 67W MacBook adapter which means it fits in your pocket or bag without making a bulge. Silicon-based chargers make more heat and need bigger parts to safely handle high wattage. Gallium nitride, on the other hand, runs cooler and more efficiently in a smaller space. The foldable prongs make it even easier to carry around because they don't get caught on things like fixed-prong adapters do.
In the new ad, Copilot offers to help a homeowner make their smart home more festive when they prompt it, "Show me how to sync my holiday lights to my music." The user clicks through their cloud-connected smart lighting controls on a website called Relecloud as Copilot says, "Let's walk through it together." The ad jump-cuts to the home lights pulsing to that classic Christmas song "A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend.
If you like watching your favorite shows and movies wherever you go, a streaming stick is a veritable must-have. You can use it on just about any TV, and cue up all the streaming services you have in one place, all with one device. It brings popular streaming apps together in one place and turns almost any TV into a smart TV without taking up space or adding clutter.
The Beats Studio Pro headphones support active noise cancellation, so you can filter out distracting background noises when you really want to focus in on whatever it is you're listening to. This is great for when flying to overcome the loud noise of the plane engine as well as when just trying to ignore nearby conversations in a chatty office. Then when you do want to engage with the world once more, you can switch over to transparency mode to let outside noises come through.
Microsoft cut the price of its 2025 Xbox wireless controller on Amazon to $38, which is the lowest price ever for hardware that just came out. That's a $26 discount off the $64 list price, and here's the best part: it's a lot cheaper than Sony's DualSense (currently selling for $54, down from $74). Yes, these controllers were made for different consoles, but if you play games on your PC or on more than one device, this price makes the Xbox controller the clear choice.
The Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Astro Boy Limited Edition brings together two worlds that seem miles apart: the technical precision of luxury Swiss watchmaking and the retro-futuristic charm of one of manga's most iconic characters. Created by the legendary Osamu Tezuka in 1952, Astro Boy embodies optimism about technology and the future, which makes this partnership with Breitling's pilot-focused Avenger line oddly perfect.
As is usually the case with Winterfest, there will be lots of new collaboration cosmetics in the item shop. Three entirely new collaborations have already been revealed: Harry Potter, SpongeBob Squarepants, and Bleach. Harry Potter is getting a set of generic Fortnite people wearing Hogwarts uniforms, whereas Bleach appears to include four skins based on characters from the series. We're also getting a car based on the SpongeBob Squarepants Patty Wagon, and that collab will reportedly also feature SpongeBob and Patrick as sidekicks.
Also: My favorite E Ink tablet just got an ultraportable successor - with upgrades in several ways I already loved the previous model of this tablet, the 10-inch Nxtpaper 10, but it was a Verizon exclusive that you couldn't easily buy elsewhere. The new Nxtpaper 11 Plus is an even better variation of one of my favorite tablets, and it's available at (just the tablet), or (for the tablet, stylus, and case) with Black Friday deals.
The new H7 soundbar - which runs on the same Alpha 11 Gen 3 chip as LG's OLEDs and new Micro RGB LED - is a part of the LG Sound Suite, a modular home audio system the company will debut at CES 2026. In addition to the soundbar, the Sound Suite will include the M5 and M7 surround speakers and the W7 subwoofer.
It made the experience very realistic to my needs: start slow, work my way up, then, if I'm feeling it, go for turbo. Admittedly, when you have the Spinel on turbo, you're likely to have flashbacks to when Carrie Bradshaw was subjected to such aggressive jack rabbit sex that she couldn't stand up straight at Charlotte's wedding. However, because the vaginal muscles create resistance when it's inside, turbo mode was quite pleasurable, especially because I used a lot of lube.
Air purifiers and humidifiers usually look like they belong in a hospital supply closet rather than a bedroom. Most are boxy white appliances with visible mist plumes, blinking lights, and a general vibe that says "I am here to solve a problem" rather than "I belong in this space." Meanwhile, people who care about sleep quality and skin health are starting to realize that the air itself might be part of the routine.
The best grip we've tried for Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale at Best Buy as a last-minute holiday deal. Dbrand's Killswitch Grip Case Travel Bundle is discounted to $72 (was $80). Though it's pricier than many Switch 2 grips available on Amazon, the Killswitch has superb ergonomics, a clever dock adapter that works seamlessly, and a three-piece design that lets you use the grips for mouse mode and single Joy-Con 2 motion controls.
But China has now raced far beyond the flirtation stage. It's rolling out fleets of autonomous delivery trucks, experimenting with flying cars and installing parking lot robots that can swap out your E.V.'s dying battery in just minutes. There are drones that deliver lunch by lowering it from the sky on a cable. If all that sounds futuristic and perhaps bizarre, it also shows China's ambition to dominate clean energy technologies of all kinds,
I could immediately tell Nobl's 20-Inch Carry-On Trunk Suitcase would transform my packing experience. It has clever details like a built-in beverage holder and four hands-free bag hooks, but that's not the only thing that makes it noteworthy. Measuring 15 by 10 by 23 inches, Nobl's trunk design means it's slightly taller than a standard carry-on, yet it's still compact enough to fit comfortably inside most airline overhead bins.
Dreame built its name on robot vacuums and smart cleaning stations, but its newest release does not clean your floors at all. Dreame's Air Power 17 arrives as a magnetic portable power bank with a surprisingly polished feel, pairing an aluminum frame with AG glass and a footprint barely larger than a bank card. It clicks into place on an iPhone 17 or any Qi2 compatible phone, then quietly delivers up to 15 watts wirelessly or 20 watts over USB-C.
I've been a Roku user for years and have spent countless hours launching apps, navigating menus, and digging through settings. If you feel like you've barely scratched the surface of what Roku can do, take a seat. I am sharing all the best hidden Roku tips and tricks so you can unlock the full power of your device. Also: 8 HDMI tricks I use to get the best performance from my TV - and most are free
Years from now, I'll look back at 2025 as the year when a fundamental shift happened in wearable technology. Over the last decade, the category has been synonymous with health and fitness. In many ways, that association is still the primary one. But this year, I've seen an increasing number of tech companies pitch another trajectory for wearables: as vehicles for AI.
The Dell Inspiron 15 boasts a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-1355 processor, which ensures high-end performance, making it ideal for both professional tasks and recreational use. The device comes with 32GB of RAM and a generous 1TB SSD, providing ample storage space and ensuring quick access to your files. It'll prove useful in running demanding applications or juggle multiple tasks at once.
Also: I compared the two best ANC earbuds by Apple and Bose, and there's a sonic difference I spent months now working, traveling, and lounging in the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Gen 2) , which I'll refer to as the QC Ultra 2, searching for how Bose spent two years making them more "ultra" than their predecessor. Without major upgrades to design, speaker drivers, or noise cancellation performance, I'll have to dig deep.
Small robot vacuums that fit into tight spaces rarely deliver strong performance, which is what makes the SwitchBot K11 Plus stand out. And right now, you can purchase the compact yet capable robovac from Amazon and SwitchBot for a new low of $179.99 ($220 off), the latter with code XMAS2GIFT55. Just note that only Switchbot is extending the full discount to the white model (and with delayed shipping).
In its first decade, iRobot began to assemble a small-droid A-team for the theater of combat. The Ariel defused mines; the PackBot handled bomb disposal. (Later they would be joined by the Warrior, which breached obstacles; the camera-encrusted SUGV, which handled recon; and the palm-size FirstLook, which could be thrown through a window to investigate hazardous materials.) These machines weren't weapons, but they facilitated weaponry's consequences.
Home cinema has never been this affordable. The TCL Projector C1 brings 120-inch screen entertainment to your living room for just $199, making it cheaper than the AirPods Pro, which sounds wild considering one's a tiny pair of earbuds and the other's an entire cinema in your house. This isn't a stripped-down compromise either. The projector packs Google TV, automatic focus, and a built-in battery into a portable package.
We've all been there. It's 2:47 AM, and you're staring at your ceiling, mentally calculating how many hours of sleep you'll get if you fall asleep right now. Spoiler alert: that math never helps. Designer JeJun Park clearly understands this universal struggle, because Re:M tackles the insomnia problem from a completely fresh angle. At first glance, Re:M looks like it wandered out of a minimalist's dream.
When I first connected the X4 earbuds to my Pixel 9 Pro and played my favorite Spotify playlist, I was seriously disappointed. The sound was overly tinny, had no bass, and the highs were poorly mixed in with the mids. Knowing Treblab doesn't have a mobile app for customizing the sound, I thought something had to be wrong. The X4 earbuds look every bit the part of over-the-ear earbuds. They have a loop that goes around your ear, and the speaker rests inside.
I wanted Aurzen's D1R Cube Roku TV projector for one specific thing: outdoor movie nights. I have a backyard patio and a fireplace, complete with a cozy couch for my family to sit on outside. The only thing missing from this setup is a bright, loud projector. I can picture us huddled under a blanket, watching an old favorite like Jaws beneath the stars.
