The company has built its reputation on sleek, black aluminum machines like the $2,299.99 Razer Blade 14. Yes, ultra-thin laptops are stunning, but when you look up to the higher configurations of the Razer Blade 16 and 18 hitting $5,000, you start to wonder about cheaper alternatives that do the same job. Gamers don’t need to spend Razer money to get top-notch…

Microsoft/Linux/BGR Foundation The Windows vs. Linux argument can be easily summarized fairly quickly. If you’re looking for a secure, semi-stable system that doesn’t require you to be a power user, stick with Windows. Just make sure you have the correct version of Windows 11, Home or Pro. For those who are fed up with subscriptions or Microsoft’s artificial intelligence, or who need a free Windows alternative for older PCs unable to install Windows 11, Linux is probably your best choice. Despite the above summary, the question of which operating system…
The operating system update integrates Gemini Intelligence and adds a new widget system. Alongside a series of new AI-focused announcements at I/O 2026, Google also announced Wear OS 7, the latest update to its wearable operating system. The software update carries over some of the design changes the company plans to introduce in Android 17, lays the foundation for new Gemini Intelligence features, and adds interface elements that display visible information in new ways. The biggest of these additions is what Google calls Wear Widgets, an evolution of the information “tiles” that have been the bread and butter of the…
Last year at Google I/O we got a promising, if frustrating, glimpse of Android XR. At this year’s event, the company confirmed that the first Warby Parker and Gentle Monster glasses would finally arrive later this year. These images are still under wraps, although we got a little sneak peek during the keynote/release. But Google’s developer conference at least gave us a much clearer picture of how its smart glasses work. Since Meta is several years ahead, Google will have a lot to prove. But despite being almost embarrassingly late to the smart glasses game, Google has some significant advantages.…
In the early days of publicly available computers, desktops were the only devices you needed…or could afford. These were less crucial elements in people’s lives and more status symbols. However, as the years passed and technology improved, computers became more powerful and, importantly, smaller. The days when computers needed hard drives the size of a washing machine are over, and one could argue that the days when you need desktop computers are over. If I’m being frank, the average person doesn’t need a desktop computer because most laptops have enough power to perform tasks…
Photologie1971/Getty Images Although the general image of the Apple brand today emphasizes elegant and smooth curves, this was not always the case. In the early 1980s, gear was just as boxy and beige as everyone else, with a softer, more colorful image gradually surfacing over the following decades. While you can’t go back in time to buy real computers and accessories from that era today, there are some fun gadgets you can buy on Amazon to give your modern devices a little retro Apple style, like clocks, speakers, and chargers.…
Three new features will be available in the Gemini for Science collection. As society watches helplessly as tech giants infuse AI into everything, Google has at least introduced new AI-based tools that could ease the arduous work associated with scientific discovery. At Google I/O 2026, the tech giant announced Gemini for Science, a collection of experimental tools that can help researchers generate hypotheses, run tests, and understand scientific literature. Gemini for Science includes three main features: hypothesis generation, computational discovery, and literature insights. As the name suggests, Hypothesis Generation will facilitate the first steps of the scientific method by combing…
Google announced today that its first “smart glasses” product is expected to launch this fall. It is teaming up with Samsung and glasses makers Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to launch new AI audio glasses. The glasses will run Android XR, Google’s platform for smart glasses and AR/VR headsets. There are cameras, speakers and microphones in the glasses, but there is no display in the lenses. Google previewed two of the designs coming from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, although there are other options. Google says both companies will have “full collections” available when the glasses launch. The glasses support…
Azeez Photography/Shutterstock Apple’s convenient MagSafe system arrived in 2020 with the launch of the iPhone 12. The magnetic technology, with its iconic MagSafe circle, was launched primarily as a convenient way to charge your Apple handset and also carry compatible accessories like wallets that attach securely to the circular magnet on the back of the phone. MagSafe has since evolved into a full ecosystem of accessories that now includes things like batteries, car mounts, stands, grips, and a host of other third-party offerings from a wide number of manufacturers. MagSafe…

Don’t get me wrong, owning multiple Apple products is great for device synergy, but charging multiple devices can still require a fair number of accessories. Luckily, while we weren’t busy studying the half-life of nuclear waste, we found a cool charging accessory for Apple products on Amazon. Available at a deep discount, the Anlmz 3-in-1 iPhone Charging Station lets you charge multiple Apple…
