Lenovo may be prepping a tiny desktop that’s designed to move with you. Windows Latest says it has obtained details on an unannounced device called the Lenovo Yoga Mini i (1L, 11), described as a cylindrical Copilot+ mini PC with an aluminum casing and a weight of about 600g. It is said to support up to four high-resolution displays. Windows Latest also says the Yoga Mini i can be configured with up to Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, part of Intel’s unannounced 2026 CPU lineup that Lenovo may brand as Core Ultra X7 Series 3. Intel hasn’t officially detailed these…

I’m generally reluctant to wear my Apple Watch while I sleep. Yes, I can silence the notifications on the watch to avoid on-wrist audiovisual distractions. I wake up just fine with a phone alarm, and don’t need the watch to push beeps into my ears.  The disdain is somewhat justified because I bought the smartwatch primarily for workout tracking. Plus, I just can’t sleep with a device strapped to my wrist. It’s just uncomfortable. But the attitude has mellowed down lately.  My family physician has lately forced me to get at least 7-8 hours of shut-eye time to ensure that…

Tesla might be about to solve one of the biggest headaches for road trippers and rural drivers: the dreaded “no service” bar. A newly published patent reveals that the company is rethinking vehicle roof design from the ground up, moving away from traditional glass and metal in favor of materials that let satellite signals pass right through. A New Roof Design Built for Satellite Connectivity The patent (Pub. No. U.S. 2025/0368267) describes a vehicle roof made from radio frequency (RF)-transparent polymers. Essentially, Tesla wants to turn the top of your car into a window for data. While most of us…

A personal hobby of mine is to ask two different chatbots the same question and see which one provides the best response. Like a professor quizzing students (which I sometimes do in real life as a volunteer), I evaluate whether the bot is hallucinating and making up facts or whether it provides an intelligent and coherent answer that is actually useful. “Intelligence” and “coherence” are not the words I’d use to describe what chatbots have usually generated when it comes to images. Known as AI slop, these strange concoctions — often with a blurred background, a perfect human with coiffed…

The Korean tech giant Samsung has quietly rolled out a new AI-powered feature on Samsung TV Plus, focusing solely on one thing: old K-dramas. It has launched a dedicated channel that streams classic Korean dramas from the 2000s, but there’s a twist: they’re being upscaled to 4K using Samsung’s AI video processing technology. Instead of remastering each show (which would take an immense amount of time and resources), Samsung is applying its on-device AI upscaling technology across the entire channel, cleaning up old Korean dramas in real time. Making old shows watchable on big 4K screens So, expect to see…

The e-commerce giant Amazon has announced a major expansion of its AI-based assistant, Alexa+, adding several third-party integrations. The assistant can now handle real-world tasks, such as booking travel tickets or reservations, hiring services, ordering food, and managing payments, all via natural language commands. The first wave of partners includes Expedia (travel planning and bookings), Yelp (local business information), Angi (home repairs and professional services), and Square (digital payments). Why Alexa+ finally feels useful So, instead of juggling multiple apps to do all these things, users can simply ask Alexa+ to do the work for them. For instance, one can…

LG has unveiled a new lineup of UltraGear evo gaming monitors that lean hard into two broader themes: higher resolutions and intense AI upscaling. The new lineup consists of three models: the 39-inch 5K2K OLED gaming monitor, another 52-inch 5K2K 240Hz gaming monitor, and the 27-inch 5K mini-LED monitor. To begin with, the 39-inch GX9 (39GX950B) is a curved OLED monitor that offers “5K-class clarity without requiring GPU upgrades,” which is the brand’s way of saying it’s gone all-in on AI upscaling. With real-time upscaling, AI Scene Optimization, and AI Sound, the monitor not only refines visuals but also audio.…

The PlayStation 5 opens the door for you to play a huge catalog of games, with plenty more to come, but you might be surprised at just how many you can jump into right now if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber. To caveat, the PlayStation Plus games on this list are found in the middle and top tiers (Extra and Premium) of the service since they allow access to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue. Essential subscribers can, however, still snag five games this month, including LEGO Horizon Adventures, The Outlast Trials, Neon White, and more. With that covered, let’s jump…

If you’re already budgeting for a kitchen upgrade, this is the kind of discount that’s actually worth stopping for. The Samsung BESPOKE 30-inch built-in electric convection double wall oven with the AI Pro Cooking camera is $3,299.99 (was $4,369.99), saving you $1,070. Big appliances aren’t impulse buys, so the “why now” matters: a four-figure markdown on a premium double oven can be the difference between settling for a basic model and getting features you’ll appreciate every day—especially if you cook often, host regularly, or just want weeknight meals to run smoother. What you’re getting You’re getting a true double-wall oven…

If you’ve been trying to upgrade your TV audio without piecing together a system one box at a time, this bundle is the cleanest way to do it. The package includes the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) soundbar, the Sonos Sub Mini, and a pair of Sonos Era 100 speakers, and it’s down to $1,106.00, a $330 discount. For Sonos, that’s the kind of price cut that makes a “someday” surround setup feel a lot more reasonable, especially if you want something that looks tidy and doesn’t take over your living room. What you’re getting This bundle is basically a complete…
