Expectations have been running exceptionally high for Apple’s new M2 processor to outpace Intel’s best CPUs, but in the end, the M2 won’t beat Intel’s fastest chips. That was the news from Apple’s WWDC keynote Monday.
The new 8-core M2 processor will appear in a redesigned MacBook Air, as well as in an updated MacBook Pro laptop. The M2 features 50 percent more memory bandwidth than the M1, and CPU performance is 18 percent faster, Apple stated.

Deal hunters know that if you’re on the hunt for an Apple Watch, you almost always want to shop outside the Apple Store. If you’re in the market for the 41mm Apple Watch Series 7, Amazon is a good place to look right now. The online retailer is selling the Wi-Fi version of this smart watch in select colors for $329. That’s $70 off the usual price and a solid deal, especially before Apple is expected to announce watchOS 9 at WWDC 2022.

The Right to Repair movement has been advocating for consumers’ opportunity to repair their own hardware and electronics without involving manufacturers for more than two decades. Important milestones in the United States include various auto-related bills and an explicit repair exemption to the DMCA. On Friday, the New York state legislature passed the first Right to Repair bill for almost all electronic devices.
The bill, New York Senate Bill S410A (also known as the digital fair r
It’s not the cheapest price ever, but right now you can get an excellent deal on a whole lot of NVMe storage. Amazon is selling the 1TB SK Hynix Gold P31 for $93.49. That’s just shy of a dollar higher than the all-time low of $92.58.
When we reviewed the Gold P31 last August, we gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and an Editors’ Choice Award. “The SK Hynix Gold P31 performs like a top-tier drive, but it’s priced just slightly higher than bargain drives. That, my friend
The PC world (and also PCWorld) is agog to get its hands on Intel’s incoming Arc desktop GPUs. As the first brand to step up to the Nvidia-AMD duopoly in decades, it has the potential to create a major market shift. But those GPUs are taking their sweet time to get here with more powerful variants not expected to reach the market until the second half of the year. If you happened to be at a gaming tournament in Dallas, Texas this weekend, you could have gotten a surprise look at the new

Online security used to be simple. All you needed was a good password, and in the early days, you didn’t need a ton of characters to achieve that goal. Privacy also wasn’t quite as fragile as it is today. Your email wasn’t constantly being lost to yet another data breach.
But as online hackers and criminals get more sophisticated, so have recommendations for best security practices. Currently experts recommend the use of unique, random passwords (and the more characters, t

If you’re trying to manage all your passwords on your own, you face an uphill battle. And it’s not a little hill either. It’s more like trying to scale a vertical cliff face without safety ropes while wearing high heel shoes.
