There is so much to love about Dell's new XPS 14, it's hard for me to discuss it without sounding like a total fanboy. Its new design makes it incredibly thin and light. And Intel's Panther Lake chips give it a ton of power, even when it comes to games. After reviving the XPS brand from last year's ignominious rebranding, it's as if Dell was laser-focused on fixing all the issues we've had with the XPS 14 so far.

Samsung caught flak for the Galaxy Buds 3 . The company’s mimicry of Apple’s AirPods was all too obvious last year when it opted for a stem or “blade” design after several generations of putting touch controls on the main housing of its earbuds. The Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro continue that trajectory, as Samsung keeps adding new features with direct parallels to AirPods . The good news is, both models have been improved in various ways, all while their prices stay the same.&nb

You'd be forgiven for thinking that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra looks a lot like the last four models. That's because it does, right down to its general design and rear camera layout.

Those help make this year's release feel like a better deal than its most recent predecessor . It remains rather expensive, starting at

For an electric car to survive in this incentive-free , tariff-laden , emissions-loving world, it has to be very, very good. It also helps if it's priced right, and looking great doesn't hurt either. Unfortunately for BMW's latest EV, the i3 sedan, we still can't say much about those last two questions. BMW hasn't announced pricing yet, and thanks to some eye-crossing camouflage, it's impossible to know exactly what it looks like, either. But, after a day behind

Nothing has announced its latest premium midrange device, the Phone 4a Pro . The company says it's the thinnest full-metal phone on the market, measuring in at 7.95mm.

Nothing is back with two new smartphones, the entry-level Phone 4a and the mid-range Phone 4a Pro. With the base 4a in particular, there’s no shortage of substantial hardware upgrades since the 3a , even if the design doesn’t quite stand out as much. This year, that’s apparently the role of the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. That said, the base 4a’s two new color options (blue and pink) are gorgeous additions to the usual monochrome duo of white and black. There have been many upgrades since 2025’s Ph

The Headphone (a) earphones feature a similar design language to the company's previous cans, but with more color. As a matter of fact, these will be available in four colors, including yellow, pink, white and black. Perhaps the most notable feature here, however, is the battery life.

Back in January, Nothing shared that it wouldn't be releasing its flagship Nothing Phone 4 in 2026, and instead focusing on follow-ups to its midrange Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro .

And like Nothing's previous devices, they seem like meaningful departures from what the company has tried in the past. The Nothing 4a Pro represents the biggest change.

When cooking pizza with the high heat of an outdoor oven , you have to rotate your pies to ensure even cooking. That’s usually done by hand, but Ooni’s latest accessory automates the process. The company announced the Rotating Stone for its Koda 2 lineup , which helps distribute heat evenly across the surface of a pizza so that it’s consistently cooked all the way around. Ooni says its Rotating Stone has a mechanism around its perimeter rather than a central pivot. According to the company

Apple is looking to gain a foothold in the more budget-friendly end of the laptop market with the MacBook Neo . The system starts at $599, which is darn inexpensive for an Apple laptop — it even has the same starting price as the M4 iPad Air . As such, the MacBook Neo should help Apple compete with cheap Windows laptops and Chromebooks. Pricing it at $499 for educational use won’t exactly hurt either. Apple is really lowering the cost of entry for those looking to pick up a new Mac

The artificial intelligence coding revolution comes with a catch: it's expensive. Claude Code , Anthropic's terminal-based AI agent that can write, debug, and deploy code autonomously, has captured the imagination of software developers worldwide. But its pricing — ranging from $20 to $200 per month depending on usage — has sparked a growing rebellion among the very programmers it aims to serve. Now, a free alternative is gaining traction.

Alfred Wahlforss was running out of options. His startup, Listen Labs , needed to hire over 100 engineers, but competing against Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million offers seemed impossible. So he spent $5,000 — a fifth of his marketing budget — on a billboard in San Francisco displaying what looked like gibberish: five strings of random numbers. The numbers were actually AI tokens. Decoded, they led to a coding challenge: build an algorithm to act as a digital bouncer at Berghain, the Ber
