If you’ve been waiting for a prebuilt that doesn’t force compromises on the two parts that matter most for gaming: CPU and GPU, this discount is worth paying attention to. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 is down to $1,529.99 (was $1,879.99), saving you $350. In the current PC landscape, you rarely see a configuration anchored by the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with a modern NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 at a price that feels this reasonable for a ready-to-go desktop. I like this kind of deal because it’s not trying to win on one flashy spec while cutting corners everywhere…

Samsung first showcased its rolling robot, Ballie, at CES six years ago. Since then, the company has periodically updated the concept, unveiling a new design with a built-in projector in 2024 and adding AI features last year.

Although Samsung hasn’t made an official announcement, Bloomberg reports that the company has had a change of plans. Instead of launching Ballie as a consumer product, the robot will now serve as an “active…
Bose makes some of the best speakers around, but they also cost a pretty penny. So when the company revealed plans to drop support for its SoundTouch models and remove key features last year, many owners were understandably not happy. Following mounting backlash, the company has now shared an update that offers some respite. According to Bloomberg, Bose has told affected users in an email that its SoundTouch products will lose cloud connectivity on May 6, instead of February 18 as previously announced. The speakers will continue to work with local sources following the new deadline, and even retain access…

Smart glasses often chase add-ons like displays and cameras. Unlike, say, the Ray-Ban Meta, IXI is chasing a problem that hits a lot of people every day, seeing clearly when your eyes bounce between a phone, a laptop, and the world ahead. Its autofocus smart glasses are built to change focus in real time, and the company showed the concept at CES 2026. For anyone living in the in-between zone of needing help up close and at a distance, the usual answer is bifocals or varifocals. Those can work well, but they can also lock you into a narrow sweet…

A Samsung reversible flip phone patent spotted on the World Intellectual Property Organization site hints at a clamshell with no obvious “right” side when it’s shut. Based on the designs spotted by XpertPick, Samsung is exploring a reversible front and back design where either outer face could be the one you see. That’s a notable shift from today’s flip phones, which usually have a clear split between a cover display side and a plainer rear panel. This filing looks like it’s trying to make the closed phone feel consistent from both sides. It’s also worth keeping expectations grounded. This is…
