Apple is reportedly working on a cheaper MacBook, but will it stick the landing?

This week, iPhone 16 Pro Max.

When it comes to enterprise hardware, reliability and repairability have always been in tension. In 2025, Macs are more expensive to repair (and more difficult) than ever before, thanks to tighter integration, solid-state components, and the steady move to custom silicon. In my experience, those repairs are happening far less often, so it begs the question: Is that a problem?

Samsung is about to find out if Ultra is enough

I don't often get asked about the phones I'm testing when I'm out and about, unless it's a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: "Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here]." My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones. Samsung would very much like that to not be the case, and, by all indications, it's about to pull out all the stops at at its Unpacked event on July 9th. But is putting the Ultra name on a folding phone enough?

Deltarune is halfway done, but it feels like a full game

It's been an agonizing wait for more Deltarune. The first chapter of the episodic, parallel story to Toby Fox's acclaimed RPG Undertale came out nearly seven years ago. But the newly released third and fourth chapters are so good that I highly recommend playing everything that's available right now - even if there are still three more episodes to go.
In Deltarune, you play as Kris, a teenager who lives in a town inhabited by friendly animals and monsters. Kris is assigned a group project with Susie, an aloof bully, and together they stumble into a place called the Dark World (hidden in a closet at school, naturally). There, they partner up โฆ

Mercedes-Benz electric G-Wagen review: king of the off-road

As exciting as it is to see how electric technology redefines automotive transportation, it's just as exciting to see how it alters what we already have. In the aftermarket, EV-converted restomods are quickly becoming big business. But direct from manufacturers, there's great potential in electrifying legacy badges by seamlessly blending old design with new technology.
Case in point is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology, better known as the EV Gelรคndewagen (which is German for all-terrain vehicle), or G-Wagen. Starting at $162,650, the G580 stays true to its original design formula but also utilizes EV technology to bolster its โฆ
