Introduction The Predator Triton 14 AI is a ultraportable gaming laptop that does things a little differently. Acer was first in line to drop one of Intel’s power-efficient Lunar Lake processors inside, rather than an H-class Core Ultra (or AMD equivalent). It’s also hoping to court creators as well as gamers with features like stylus support – of a sort – and Studio-grade drivers for its Nvidia GPU. A dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) qualifies the Triton for Copilot+ PC status, and its sleek styling makes it arguably one of Acer’s best looking laptops in years – gaming or otherwise.…

Compared to other desktop network attached storage (NAS) solutions from companies like Synology and Ugreen, Ubiquiti’s UNAS 2 and UNAS 4 look more like sleek wireless routers than storage solutions stuffed full of hard drives and SSDs.The entry-level UNAS 2 is now available in a black or white finish for $199 and accommodates a pair of 3.5-inch hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration.

Unless you’re forced to use Windows for specific software needs or you fancy yourself a hardcore gamer, it remains…

The microphones in your earbuds probably suck. You know, I know it, and apparently Nothing knows it too. Its fix? Better microphones — but in the charging case, not the buds.The Ear 3 buds feature what the company calls “Super Mic.” What that really means is a pair of microphones built into the earbuds’ case, with a button to activate those mics instead of the ones built into the buds.Nothing’s pitch is that the beamforming microphones in the case can deliver clearer audio and better noise cancelling, which probably mostly comes down to the fact that you can hold the…

Today, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan held a joint webcast to explain just why the world’s most valuable company (Nvidia’s at $4.28 trillion) is throwing a $5 billion lifeline to a struggling competitor.Nvidia quickly shut down several possible explanations. Huang claimed it had nothing to do with Trump, who famously shook down Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan for the United States’ own 10 percent stake of Intel, shortly after shaking down Nvidia for 15 percent of its revenue selling chips to China. (China may have just ended that.)And, Huang insisted, it’s not a strategic shift away from…

It’s the lightest-ever 20,000mAH power bank, it’s got a gummy-bear themed built-in USB-C cord, and it’s taking over the ultralight backpacking world. The specs say it weighs 9.9 ounces — and in a…

Notion has entered the agent era of its AI evolution with the launch of the Notion Agent on Thursday. The announcement forms the bulk of the Notion 3.0 roll out available to all users. The company calls the new product a “teammate and Notion super user” that “can do everything a human can do in Notion.”While Notion users previously constructed pages and databases manually, now the agent builds both for them. Agents can also search for information beyond the Notion workspace and across connected tools such as Slack and the internet. The agents can form a plan and act on…
