BMW and Qualcomm have officially revealed the Snapdragon Ride Pilot, their vision of what next-generation automated driver assistance and safety can be. Snapdragon Ride Pilot is currently set to debut in the all-new 2026 BMW iX3 SUV.

Underpinning the iX3 on the automated driving (AD) front, Snapdragon Ride Pilot has been developed over

Lenovo hasn’t been afraid to play around with concepts that are a little off the beaten path, like the time it released the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable with an extending display, or the solar powered ThinkBook Flip with extended display that it showed off earlier this year. Adding to the list is a new concept, the ThinkBook VertiFlex, which

A piece of cinematic history has found a new home, and a new record, in a galaxy very, very close by (sorry/not sorry we went there). The original dueling lightsaber prop used by Darth Vader in both “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi” has sold for an astonishing $3,654,000 at auction, making it the most valuable Star Wars artifact

Yes folks, we’re well aware that the fall season doesn’t officially commence for a couple more weeks. But the school year is upon us, there’s a crispness to the air, and Alani Nu has been shipping its seasonal Witch’s Brew for a little while now (yum!). Oh, and the NFL season has begun too. So for all intents and purposes, fall is basically

Ardent sky-watchers around the world are already preparing for this month’s total lunar eclipse, i.e. the Blood Moon, so don’t be left out of this family-friendly spectacle!

More PC gaming handhelds based on AMD’s Strix Halo silicon are coming, including the first one to flex a powerful Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip.

Hot on the heels of launching its QuietComfort Ultra Earbunds (2nd Gen), which by the way we’re in the processing of reviewing, Bose today announced a second-generation update to its QuietComfort Ultra headphones with a refreshed design, even better active noise cancellation, and a few other nifty upgrades. Chief among them is the option to

Autumn is fast arriving, and there’s a crop of high-end ThinkPad laptops, grown in the fertile fields of Lenovo. The Chinese giant bought the ThinkPad line from IBM quite a few years back, and has been doing a pretty bang-up job of maintaining the meaning of the name: high-quality, highly-specced, serviceable business and workstation-replacement

The sector of the PC market showing the greatest growth for many years past has continually been the gaming group. So it goes that at IFA 2025, Lenovo is showing off a solid selection of Legion gaming gear, starting right off with the second-generation Lenovo Legion Go, pictured above.

If your system is throwing more UAC prompts asking for admin privileges and some application installs or repairs are failing, it may be due to a recent security update for Windows and Windows Server. Thankfully, Microsoft has posted a very easy temporary fix for the issue, at least for home users. If you’re using a work PC and are not an admin

There’s little argument that although its inner workings are quite solid and speedy, Windows 11’s UX choices are often best described as schizophrenic. One day Microsoft adds a useful feature, only to add yet another Edge-begging pop-up the next. Thankfully, some teams in the company are much more focused, like the folks working on the PowerToys

Valve’s original Steam Machine concept failed simply because the software wasn’t ready yet. That is demonstrably not the case anymore, as Linux-based machines are now able to run the majority of Windows gaming software with no compromises thanks to the company’s pioneering work on Proton. Does that mean it’s time for Valve to try again with

An unexpected and potentially historic partnership between two of the world’s biggest tech rivals may be in the works. According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is in advanced talks to integrate Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence models to power a major upgrade to Siri, Apple’s long-standing but recently criticized voice assistant.

While tech giants like Samsung and Apple continue to dabble in book-style foldable phones, Huawei has continued its solo charge into trifold territory. In fact, the company has just unveiled the second-generation Huawei Mate XTs, complete with improvements in the processor, added stylus support, and a new ultrawide camera, among other things.

A new leak suggests Sony is getting ready to release another PlayStation 5 model, but if the preliminary details turn out to be correct, the upcoming revision is nothing to get excited about. Just the opposite, we suspect Sony will end up enraging some of its fan base. The reason? It’s said the upcoming model will downgrade the internal storage
