Samsung Galaxy Tab pictures

Piggybacking on the success of their Galaxy S line of smartphones, Samsung has released the Galaxy Tab. The device will feature a 7-inch 1,024 by 600-pixel display, and like their Galaxy S phones, the Galaxy Tab will run on Android 2.2. The tablet is expected to compete with Apple’s iPad, and it offers some features the iPad currently lacks, such as Flash support, front and rear facing cameras, and microSD support for additional storage. The Galaxy Tab is powered by a 1 GHz Cortex processor along with 512 MB of RAM.  It also features 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and 3G connectivity.

Samsung has not announced pricing or any potential carrier partners for the device in the U.S. or in other markets.

Samsung’s (normally) expensive Chromebook just got a $300 price cut
A red Samsung Galaxy Chromebook opened on a table.

One of the best Chromebook deals around is on the ageing but still classy Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2. Over at Best Buy you can snag it for $399 when it ordinarily costs $699. A considerable saving of $300, you get a stylish looking Chromebook that is easy to take around with you between classes or on your commute. If that sounds tempting and you don’t need anything too powerful, take a look at everything else we have to say about it below.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2
Released in 2021, we were impressed by the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 overall, but considered it a downgrade from the original Galaxy Chromebook. Things like a rock solid design and responsive and quiet keyboard are good, ageless features. It may not be one of the best Chromebooks any more, but it’s still a winner at this price.

The Vision Pro 2 could gain this huge upgrade to visuals
Apple Vision Pro display model.

The tandem OLED technology used in the 2024 iPad Pro models could be used in a future Vision Pro. LG and Samsung have prototyped micro versions of the tandem displays, essentially shrinking them down for use in headsets such as the Vision Pro.

A report, originating from the Korean site Sisa Journal as picked up by MacRumors, mentions that it's unknown whether LG and Samsung are planning to mass produce these displays right now.

Apple’s gaming push is heating up faster than you think
Frostpunk 2 runs on a MacBook.

A few years back, I was invited to meet with Apple about its new push into gaming. The company wouldn’t show me a flashy new product to enable that. Instead, it showed me something more modest: No Man’s Sky running smoothly on a MacBook. It looked great, but it wasn’t exactly earth-shattering. It was an independent game from 2016 running on a laptop as well as it had already been running for years on other PCs. I got the sense that I wasn’t there to cover a big development in tech, but rather to see a proof of concept that had bigger plans attached.

Years later, those plans are coming into focus even if they still aren’t fully realized yet. I recently attended a repeat of that showcase, only this time I wasn’t just watching an eight-year-old game running on a laptop. I demoed several games, including brand new ones, this time running on a range of devices including the MacBook Air M3 and a 13” iPad Pro M4. While we’re still a long ways away from the App Store being up to snuff with Steam on Windows, I’m starting to see where gaming on iOS is headed -- and Apple is getting there faster than I expected.
Growing gaming
During my recent session with Apple, I’d get to see and play several games running across iPhone, iPad, and Macbooks. Some of those experiences are more exciting for Apple than for casual players. It’s neat that Resident Evil 7 can run well on an iPhone, but that’s not so surprising when I already know that the much more recent Resident Evil 4 does too. I’m happy to see games like Control and Valheim looking great, but those are existential wins for Apple as it seeks more partners to expand its gaming efforts. I don’t imagine that gamers are jumping to play games that have been out for years on an Apple device (and according to reports, they very much aren’t yet).
