Apple today released new beta firmware that's designed for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4. The firmware is limited to developers at the current time, and it has a build number of 8B5014c.
In addition to well-known tips—such as staying on top of system updates, keeping storage space free, and regularly scanning for malware—Microsoft highlights OneDrive and visual effects as performance killers. We show you how to get around these issues.
Amazon is hosting big discounts across the entire M4 MacBook Air lineup, with deals that represent all-time lows across every model of the computer. In total, you'll find $200 off the M4 MacBook Air notebook right now, with both 13-inch and 15-inch models on sale.
That's an incredible price for a mouse with a maximum DPI of 26,000, offering extreme responsiveness and speed that'll give you an edge over your competition no matter what game you're playing. Other nice features include 11 programmable buttons, ergonomic grip, HyperScroll Tilt Wheel, and Chroma RGB lighting. It's wired-only though, which might be a deal-breaker for wireless gear fans.
We reviewed the Razer Basilisk V3 a while back and it utterly won us over, earning a 4.5-star rating and our Editors' Choice award. We appreciated its "faultless performance" and gorgeous RGB lighting, as well as the HyperScroll Tilt Wheel that makes it easy to zip through content. The numerous programmable buttons are also great for both gaming customizations and productivity macros.
If you want a newer, wireless version of this mouse, the Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed is on sale for $37.99 (or 46% off from $69.99). Otherwise, act fast and snag the Razer Basilisk V3 for $29.99 while you can!
No other budget-tier gaming mouse can match this for the price
The Zenbook A14 is no powerhouse, In fact its Snapdragon X Plus processor is definitely on the pokey side compared to the latest from AMD and Intel, especially if you want to play games. But it's designed to last almost forever on battery — 20 hours or so — and do it while weighing under one kilogram (2.16 pounds). Other highlights include a roomy and vibrant 1920×1200 OLED screen, a decent selection of ports (two USB-C, one USB-A, full-sized HDMI), and an IR webcam for Windows Hello face unlock. My favorite feature is the stone-like "Ceraluminum" finish of the body, giving it a unique sandy color and a slightly grippy feel.
Qualcomm's first-gen Snapdragon laptops still struggle with gaming, and with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, this slinky little laptop isn't going to handle massive, processor-intensive workloads. But it's served me very well over the last few months, offering up a great browser machine with solid typing that won't weigh me down in a laptop bag. For a more thorough breakdown check out the full PCWorld review, but keep in mind that's a model with more RAM and a slightly faster processor.
