The new iMac is a slim all-in-one computer with a 24 inch, 4480 x 2520 pixel display, and support for up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. But that could also describe last year's model. Here's what's new for 2024: Apple has upgraded the processor from an M3 chip to M4, which should bring CPU, graphics, and AI improvements. The webcam has been upgraded from 1080p to 12MP. And the new iMac supports up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of two. Prices start at $1299 for a 2024 iMac with an Apple M4 chip featuring 8 CPU cores, 8-core graphics, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports. Or you can pay $1499 and up for a model with a 10-core CPU, 10-core graphics, and four Thunderbolt 4 ports. It's nice to see that base models now come with 16GB of memory rather than 8GB. But upgrades are still very expensive. If you want a 24GB model you'll have to pay $200 more, and you can double that if you opt for a 32GB version. Storage upgrades

With the M4 Pro chip, the Mac mini is able to support up to three 6K displays at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI, an improvement over the previous M2 Pro model. The ‌M2‌ Pro version of the ‌Mac mini‌ also supported three displays, but it could run only two at 6K 60Hz resolution and one at 4K 60Hz resolution. Apple's M4 Pro chip alternatively supports one display at 6K resolution over 60Hz and a second display at 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K resolution at 240Hz. The standard M4 chip that Apple has used in the ‌Mac mini‌ and the iMac so far is compatible with three displays total, though not three 6K displays. It can drive two displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt or 4K resolution at 60Hz over HDMI. It is also able to power an 8K display at 60Hz or a 4K display at 240Hz alongside a 5K display with a 60Hz refresh rate. With the M4 Pro chip, the ‌Mac mini‌ can power three of the Pro Display XD

Apple has launched an all-new Mac mini that significantly enhances performance while being compact and environmentally friendly. Performance Upgrade The new Mac mini is powered by the M4 and M4 Pro chips, offering up to 1.8x faster CPU and 2.2x faster GPU performance compared to the previous M1 model. Compact Design The new Mac mini has dimensions of just 5 by 5 inches, making it less than half the size of its predecessor and suitable for various users, from students to professionals. Professional Capability The M4 Pro variant features up to 14 CPU cores for advanced multithreading and supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, suitable for demanding creative workloads.

Apple Intelligence This feature integrates personalized intelligence into the Mac experience, allowing users to enhance their workflows w

Managing heat is a fundamental consideration when building or upgrading a PC, if you care about optimal performance. For many enthusiasts, the decision boils down to choosing between traditional air cooling (with a metal heatsink and fan) or a liquid cooling solution. AIO (All-in-one) liquid coolers have gained popularity for their efficiency, aesthetics, and potential for overclocking, but are they necessary for your system? This guide will explore whether an AIO cooler is the right choice for your build. What is an AIO cooler? An AIO cooler is a pre-assembled liquid cooling system that includes a pump, radiator, and tubes pre-filled with coolant. It is designed to remove heat from the CPU and dissipate it through the radiator, which is usually mounted at the top or front of a PC case. Unlike custom liquid cooling loops that require assembly and maintenance (and are much more expensive), AIO coolers are ready to use right out of the box, providing liquid cooling benefits wit h min

Samsung TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition is entirely out of stock just days after it went on sale. The foldable phone reportedly sold out in 10 minutes after Samsung made it available on its website. Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition a few days ago, and it went on sale in South Korea on October 25. The souped-up foldable seems to have many admirers because it was all sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale. According to Sammyfans, citing an official announcement from Samsung, sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition started seven hours late on the day it was supposed to be released. Although rumors circulated about the device's quality, Samsung opened sales after the slight delay. The foldable phone reportedly went out of stock 10 minutes after it was made available on Samsung's website. Days later, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 SE is still unavailable on the company's Korean website, with a notice on top sayi

Framework is best known for selling modular, repairable, and upgradeable laptops. But the company also lets you buy the mainboards that power those laptops. That means not only can you buy a new board with a faster processor, but you can also buy just a board if you want to use it to build your own laptop, mini desktop, or other type of computer. Case in point: Beth Le has shared instructions that let you build a modular, upgradeable handheld gaming PC from a Framework Mainboard. It's called the Beth Deck. This isn't the first modular handheld gaming PC powered by a Framework Mainboard. About a year ago, YouTuber Pitstoptech showed off a model with a 7 inch display. But Beth Le went a bit further by releasing the design files, parts list, and documentation that lets anyone build their own. In a nutshell, the Beth Deck combines a Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard and battery with a 3D printed case and a series of additional components that are easy to purchase including an

Apple today announced the first of its M4 Mac models, but how much better really is the M4 chip over its predecessor? The M4 chip debuted in the iPad Pro earlier this year, promising around 20% faster performance than the M3 chip in both single and multi-core tasks. All of the key differences between the two chip generations are listed below: M3 Chip (2023–2024) M4 Chip (2024) Made using TSMC's 3nm technology (N3) Made using TSMC's enhanced ‌3nm‌ technology (N3E) Based on iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Pro chip (2023) Based on iPhone 16's A18 chip (2024) 25 billion transistors 28 billion transistors (+12%) 8-core CPU(4 performance + 4 efficiency cores) Up to 10 CPU cores(4 performance + 6 efficiency cores) 4.05 GHz CPU clock speed 4.3 GHz CPU clock speed 16-core Neural Engine, 18 trillion operations per second 16-core Neural Engine, 38 trillion operations per second (+111%) LPDDR5 memory LPDDR5X memory 100 GB/s memory bandwidth 120 GB/s memory bandwidth (+20

Apple is refreshing its 24-inch iMac, making it the first Mac the company is updating to its M4 lineup of processors. The M4 chips will vary, starting with an 8-core CPU (with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores) and an 8-core GPU and going up to 10-cores (4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores) and a 10-core GPU. The entry-level model, which starts at $1,299, has two USB Type-C ports supporting Thunderbolt 4. The 10-core CPU models, starting at $1,499, have four Thunderbolt 4 ports. With M4, Apple says that the iMac is 1.3 times faster than the M3 model and 1.7 times faster than M1 in Excel productivity. In a welcome move, every single iMac now starts with 16GB of unified memory. This is likely due to the performance demands of Apple Intelligence, but it's nice to see Apple start to phase 8GB out. For $200, you can bump up to 24GB of RAM, while configuring to 32GB costs another $200. (32GB models are also only available with 512GB or more storage, th ough I can'

The brand new 7th-generation Apple iPad Mini was just released last week, on the 23rd, so we were surprised to see it at a discount on Friday . That was just a $15 discount, though. Today, we have an actual deal for you. You can take the 2024 Apple iPad Mini home for a $49.01 discount, slashing the price down to $449.99. Buy the Apple iPad Mini 7th-generation for just $449.99 This offer is available from Micro Center. The discount applies to the Wi-Fi only model with 128GB, but you can pick from whichever color you prefer. Available colors include Space Gray, Starlight, Blue, and Purple. A $49.01 discount normally wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but this case is special, as the 7th-generation Apple iPad Mini is less than a week old. We normally don’t see discounts on such new products, especially Apple ones. This is a great little tablet. While it’s smaller, it’s definitely a high-end device that even demanding users will love. Let’s start with the design, which really wasn’t chan

Pineboards, perhaps best known for its excellent HatDrive! Nano we recently reviewed, has a history of beating Raspberry Pi to the punch. Pineboards released the HatDrive! range of M.2 NVMe boards at the end of 2023, beating Raspberry Pi by many months, and it seems that with its new HatDrive! PoE+, it has done it again. Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Pineboards)(Image credit: Pineboards)(Image credit: Pineboards) The €44 (approximately $47 converted) board provides up to 25 Watts (5V at 5A) of power for your Raspberry Pi 5, via Power over Ethernet (PoE), so there's no need for a separate USB-C power supply. But it doesn't end there, as the HatDrive! PoE+ also manages to cram in some space for a 2230 to 2280 M.2 NVMe SSD that can run at PCIe Gen 3 speeds. Giving us a much-needed speed boost, and just one cable for network and power. The Raspberry Pi 5 is a rather hungry beast. It requires a special PSU in order to get the most from it. The official 27W PSU provides 5V at 5 Am

Did you know about 73% of Americans drink coffee every single day? It’s our favorite hot drink, but what happens when you take a sip and suddenly it’s not hot anymore?

If you’ve been hoping to get one at a lower price, the 10oz Ember Mug 2 is available at a 50% discount, bringing the price down to just $74.99. Buy the Ember Mug 2 10oz for just $74.99 This offer is available directly from Best Buy, and it’s part of the retailer’s “Deal of the Day” sale.

All other colors are at regular prices. $75 still isn’t really a cheap price for a mug, but this isn’t your typical mug. It will transform your coffee-drinking experience, and I happen to really treasure my morning coffee time. It’s my time to clear my mind, relax, and plan out my day. But s

Paramount Plus Netflix has invited a fair amount of criticism amidst moves to crack down on account sharing. People used to giving their passwords to friends and family are turning to streaming alternatives as a result. Among the many Netflix alternatives is Paramount Plus, which is home to a library of classic and contemporary films and TV, alongside original programming like the Yellowstone spinoff 1883, Tulsa King, and Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe. But you may be asking yourself, "Can I share my Paramount Plus with others?" Does the streamer have the same limitations as Netflix?

In 2020, iPadOS 14 was released with a "Scribble" feature that automatically converts any handwriting written with the Apple Pencil into typed text. Scribble works in any text field, and this means the feature works with the revamped Siri on iPadOS 18.1. iPadOS 18.1 introduces the first Apple Intelligence features, including the ability to type to Siri in an on-screen overlay. Given that Scribble works in any text field, this means you can now w rite a Siri query with an Apple Pencil and it will automatically be converted to typed text. Apple highlighted this "Scribble to Siri" feature, and discussed the new iPad mini, in an interview with TechRadar's Jacob Krol this week. Apple previously confirmed that iPadOS 18.1 will be released to the public next week. Scribble works with any Apple Pencil, but the revamped version of Siri is limited to devices with Apple Intelligence, including iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini models equipped with the M1 chip, M2

Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X laptop chips and Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphone processor are some of the most powerful Arm-based chips available for consumer devices. But their future could be threatened by an ongoing dispute between Qualcomm and Arm. Arm sued Qualcomm two years ago, alleging that the company had violated licensing and trademark agreements. This week Arm allegedly escalated things by terminating the license that allows Qualcomm to design its own chips based on Arm architecture. Set to take effect in two months, the termination of this license could have a profound impact on Qualcomm's business just as the company is finally starting to make headway in the PC space. But I wouldn't be surprised to see some further action before that happens – Qualcomm could try to extend the deadline at least until the lawsuit has played itself out, or the two companies might finally negotiated some sort of settlement. Arm offers two types of licenses to chip makers: on

3-in-1 charging stations capable of wirelessly powering up an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods have been popular for years now, although most of them involve relatively straightforward and utilitarian designs. Accessory brand Journey is looking to bring a bit more design flair to the category with its new NOVA 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, which will begin shipping next Monday, October 28. The NOVA charging station is available in Wood Grain and Sparkle Grey color options, and I've been testing out a Wood Grain model for a few days to see how it looks and performs. Overall it features a compact footprint with a vertically oriented design rather than a "tree-style" design used on some competing 3-in-1 chargers. The entire body is made of plastic, but the faux wood grain front can help it fit in depending on your decor. A pair of non-slip strips on the bottom of the charger help keep it in place and protect your surfaces from damage. At a little over 400
