The best laptops under $1,000 of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

People tend to equate concepts like "budget" or "low-cost" with poor quality, but that's not true. You can find plenty of high-quality laptops that cost less than $1,000. I'm talking about well-crafted, powerful computers that can compete with the best laptops on the market when tackling productivity and entertainment workloads. It certainly helps that many budget laptops were former high-end devices. Apple, for example, frequently drops the price of older MacBooks whenever a new one comes out.

Claude’s memory architecture is the opposite of ChatGPT’s

Claude Memory: A Different Philosophy How Claude memory works, how it differs from ChatGPT, and what these approaches reveal. Earlier this week, I dissected ChatGPT's memory system. Since then, I've been doing the same for Claude and realized something remarkable: these two leading AI assistants have built completely opposite memory systems. In this post, I'll start by breaking down exactly how Claude's memory works—what it stores and how it retrieves information. Then we'll get to the intere

I waited ages for an affordable Galaxy flip phone, but the Z Flip 7 FE isn’t it

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with Exynos horsepower, which makes for a solid enough match day-to-day. Unfortunately, the $899 price tag seriously drags things down, while Samsung's cover screen software still lags behind rivals. Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip way back in 2020, and it’s lingered around the $1,000 mark ever since. We got our first hint of more affordable flip phones when Motorola started to launch cheaper Razr entries, follo

YouTube Music rolls out dual-pane Now Playing redesign on Android, iOS

After testing first got underway in November, YouTube Music is now rolling out a big Now Playing redesign on Android and iOS. The Song/Video switcher is no longer at the top of Now Playing, but Cast remains next to the three-dot overflow menu. After the song name (which can be tapped to access Related) and artist, you now get the controls row. This does not really impact one-handed usage, but it does move things further up the screen.

How Palantir is mapping the nation’s data

When the U.S. government signs contracts with private technology companies, the fine print rarely reaches the public. Palantir Technologies, however, has attracted more and more attention over the past decade because of the size and scope of its contracts with the government. Palantir’s two main platforms are Foundry and Gotham. Each does different things. Foundry is used by corporations in the private sector to help with global operations. Gotham is marketed as an “operating system for global
