Google's drive to infuse AI across its portfolio of existing products has seen steady Gemini integration in many areas, and now Gmail is getting the biggest Gemini overhaul yet.

We saw some exciting tech at CES this week, including new monitors leveraging NVIDIA's G-SYNC Pulsar technology. Now it's a waiting game to see when they'll actually be available to purchase. In the meantime, there are great deals to be had on the current crop of OLED panels, including a fantastic discount on an curvy Alienware mode. Alienware

Has it been half a century already? Believe it or not, Apple is turning 50 years old this year, and to celebrate the occasion, auction house RR Auction is hosting a huge 50th anniversary Apple sale with a whole bunch of desirable collectibles, some of which are expected to fetch half a million dollars or more. One of them is an ultra-rare

At CES 2026, we got to go hands on with the Dell Pro Max GB300 desktop. This is the big brother of the Dell Pro Max GB10, which as you could probably guess from the name, is essentially Dell's take on the NVIDIA DGX Spark concept. The GB300 carries something far more potent inside: a Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip. (click for big) If

At its CES 2026 presentation, Intel announced both its Core Ultra Series 3 processors (codenamed "Panther Lake") as well as a forthcoming reference platform for gaming handhelds based on the chips. Looking at the available configurations of the Core Ultra Series 3, it certainly seems like these parts are nearly tailor-made for the handheld

Wearable makers like Apple, Samsung, Garmin, and Google have long chased what might be the holy grail of health tech: non-invasive glucose monitoring. Recent developments suggest that Apple could be closer than ever to turning its decade-long ambition into a reality for the Apple Watch. Blood sugar tracking has been long expected to be

Astronomers peering through images from the Vera C. Rubin Obervatory have discovered an unusual asteroid spinning so fast that it's broken the record for how space rocks of its size are supposed to behave. Designated 2025 MN45, the asteroid was identified by the international team of researchers using data from the recently-commissioned

Razer has made a habit of unveiling concept projects at CES each year, some of which end up becoming shipping products, and others that don't. One that has a better-than-decent shot of falling into the former category is Project Madison. What's hidden behind that project designation is an immersive gaming chair that aims to bombard your senses

An eyewear breakthrough by an Amazon-backed Finnish startup, IXI, is promising to end the era of clunky bifocals and the "head-tilt" struggle of progressive lenses, replacing them with a pair of glasses that focus as naturally as the human eye. Revealed in its latest prototype at CES 2026, the IXI autofocusing glasses specifically target

NVIDIA announced some cool tech at the Consumer Electronics Show this week, including upgrades to both its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service and DLSS upscaling with DLSS 4.5 bringing Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation and a newer transformer model. There was other stuff by NVIDIA as well, though no mention of a GeForce RTX 50 Super series refresh.

Acer is gearing up to launch several gaming handhelds under its Nitro banner, including a supersized Nitro Blaze 11 with a 10.95-inch IPS display and detachable controllers. Or is it? All of the handhelds Acer previously announced were a no-show at CES this week, raising the question of whether they've been delayed or outright canceled. So,

At CES 2026, NVIDIA finally revealed its long-awaited lineup of first-generation G-SYNC Pulsar monitors—and one of them is the MSI MPG 272QRF X36. Like the other new monitors revealed at NVIDIA's conference, the MSI MPG 272QRF X36 is a 27-inch Rapid IPS monitor in 2560×1440 resolution, with full G-SYNC support up to 360 Hz. Where things get

Accessory maker Logitech provides users with an extensive suite of software to manage and customize its lineup of popular mice and innovative keyboards. Unfortunately, the company failed to maintain a necessary certificate on the macOS versions of these apps, leaving users in a lurch as their hardware no longer worked as intended. Thankfully,

Intel's new Core Ultra Series 3 processors (codenamed Panther Lake) offer extremely impressive integrated graphics performance, as we noted in our brief testing yesterday. They're also based on what is arguably the most advanced manufacturing process in the world, Intel's 18A, which boasts exclusive features like RibbonFET and PowerVia. That

Semiconductor engineers everywhere are clutching their lint-free jumpsuits in horror as Elon Musk has announced his latest disruption: the "dirty fab," a chip lab so chill in its standards that you could smoke and eat a double fat cheeseburger inside. Elon - “I think they’re getting clean rooms wrong in these modern (chip) fabs. I’m going

One of the cooler things we saw in person at CES this year is MSI's new GeForce RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z. A flagship GPU like the GeForce RTX 5090 is capable of standing on its own for noteworthiness, but what separates this one from the crowd is that it comes with a big and integrated 8-inch color LCD panel to display system vitals, artwork,

Astronomers have captured the moment a supermassive black hole literally tore apart a super sun (one 30 times larger than our own) and released a burst of energy equivalent to 400 billion suns.  Affectionately called the "Whippet" (officially AT2024wpp), this Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) occurred on a scale that defied traditional expectations.

As impressive as the debut of Intel's mobile Panther Lake lineup at CES 2026 was, AMD has gone on the record as being "not afraid" of Intel's latest and greatest architecture. The reason for this is because Intel didn't compare Panther Lake to AMD's top-of-the-line Strix Halo in its slides, with an AMD executive saying, "Strix Halo, or Ryzen

Apple is reportedly exploring camera technology currently being used in medical, archeology, and the military, with rumors suggesting the integration of multispectral imaging and high-resolution 200MP sensors in forthcoming iPhones. That would certainly be exciting if true, though as always, treats rumors like this with a grain of salt. According

Forget for a moment that ASUS is already embracing the Wi-Fi 8 standard when the vast majority of consumers have yet to upgrade their home networks to Wi-Fi 7 hardware, let alone Wi-Fi 6E or even Wi-Fi 6. The real story here is the design of ASUS ROG's NeoCore Wi-Fi 8 router concept—is it just me or does it look it could be rolled like a D20

After coming to a revised royalty rate agreement with the U.S. government, NVIDIA has orders from China for more than 2 million H200 AI chips at around $27,000 each, but will only ship the orders if they are paid in full upfront, Reuters reports. Citing two people who have purportedly been briefed on the matter, the outlet says NVIDIA's requirement

OLED screens that deliver vibrant HDR are becoming more common in laptops, with a strong contingent of entries at CES 2026 from Dell’s Alienware lineup, Lenovo’s newest ThinkPads and HP’s latest OMEN models. It’s a meaningful development that users can easily appreciate thanks to rich colors and unbeatable contrast, but an OLED, and particularly

Moving into 2026, industry experts anticipate that MLC NAND flash capacity will decrease by 41.7%, thanks to Samsung ending its own MLC shipments in June of this year and other manufacturers including SK Hynix and Micron also limiting MLC production. As demand increases and supply decreases, prices on MLC NAND devices have risen along with

In case you missed the memo, Intel has officially launched its Core Ultra Series 3 processors, codenamed Panther Lake. These chips are a significant step forward for the brand, with new architectures on every single major IP block: new P-cores, new E-cores, new Xe3 GPU cores, and a new NPU design. We've already written at length about that,
