Apple added “a monster of a chip” to its Apple M1 family on Tuesday: the M1 Ultra, which reflects some familiar approaches to chip design and presents a high-end contender for the PC market to compete against.
Essentially, the M1 Ultra combines two of Apple’s existing M1 Max chip dies together within a single package. They are connected by a silicon interposer that Apple calls UltraFusion. The result? A fully 20-core Arm CPU, with 16 performance cores and 4 efficiency cor

Cloud-based productivity apps are incredibly handy. They sync your info across all devices and, more importantly, they auto-save every change. (If you’ve never known the dark days of losing work because you forgot to hit Ctrl+S periodically, count your lucky stars.)
The nifty part about Google Docs, Google Sheets, and even Google Slides is that you can edit your files offline. When you’re not connected to the internet (or on a limited or bad connection), you can continue what yo
If you’re looking to upgrade your home network for under $200, we’ve got an excellent deal for you. Amazon is selling a three-pack of its Eero 6 dual-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 system for $195. That’s $84 off the usual price.
Mesh Wi-Fi is cool because it creates a single network over a large area and blankets it with a wireless signal. Amazon says the Eero 6 covers up to 5,000 square feet and can support more than 75 devices at once. It’s also a Wi-Fi 6 system and, according
“Building a gaming PC really isn’t that hard” is an easy thing to say…after you’ve built a few. But selecting all those expensive components remains a daunting task for newcomers, not least because there’s a danger of buying parts that aren’t compatible with each other. Like NZXT and Newegg before it, Corsair is here to take the guesswork out of assembling your first PC.
The Corsair PC Builder is essentially a branded and more visually pleasing ve
If you’re looking to get into streaming, you can get a solid deal on an excellent device right now. Amazon is selling the original Elgato Stream Deck for $128.43. The original Steam Deck’s been dropping in price lately, but it wasn’t that long ago this device was closer to $150. This is the best price Amazon’s had since the holidays.
The Elgato Stream Deck features 15 customizable LCD keys and an adjustable stand. The idea is to create shortcuts for various actions
Valve’s repair-friendly approach to the Steam Deck has turned a few heads. In a time when it practically takes a technician to even open a smartphone without risking permanent damage, seeing a portable game machine that actually invites both user access and modification is a breath of fresh air. But even Valve probably didn’t anticipate what one Reddit poster did: Shove a piece of Apple hardware inside the case with zero modification, and have it work just fine.

AMD looks to again turn the screws on Xeon with a new Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000-series of workstation CPUs that it claims will be far more efficient and faster than Intel’s best.
Built on the same Zen 3 cores as its award-winning Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs, the long-awaited Threadripper Pro chips will come in five different flavors, ranging from 12 cores to 64 cores, the company said. The Pro-series of CPUs continue to offer 8-channel DDR4 support as the previous 3000-series has.

A lot of people looking for a solid VPN have one primary consideration: the need for speed. Privacy and anonymity are great, but if it means slow-as-molasses connections most people will opt out in favor of a speed demon. Faster speeds mean a better streaming experience, faster file downloads, quicker website load times, and just a better all-around experience.
Of course, when it comes to speeds there are actually two considerations. Download speeds are the primary concern because most peop
