Why I recommend this budget Android tablet over models that cost three times as much

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2026-02-25 23:00:14

ZDNET's key takeaways This is a great value tablet, with a 12-inch display and running Android 15. While performance is on the lower end of the spectrum, this is still more tablet than most people need. The tri-fold case leaves a little to be desired, and there's nowhere to store the stylus.

This Yamaha soundbar delivered me the audio quality of speakers twice the price

ZDNET's key takeaways The Yamaha True X Bar 50A is available now at a discount, with surround speakers sold separately (and individually).

Best Internet Providers in Fresno, California

AT&T Fiber is CNET’s top pick for the best internet provider in Fresno, California. That's because it offers great upload and download speeds at competitive monthly rates. The main drawback is AT&T Fiber's limited coverage area, which doesn't extend to all Fresno neighborhoods, leaving many residents without access. If AT&T Fiber isn't available at your address, Xfinity is a solid alternative, with some of the most affordable plans starting at just $35. Just be aware of potential price hikes an

This week, we’re going to take a close look at arguably the most famous and recognizable Roman battle sequence in film: the iconic opening battle from Gladiator (2000). Despite being a relatively short sequence (about ten minutes), there’s actually enough to talk about here that we’re going to split it over two weeks, talking about the setup – the battlefield, army composition, equipment and battle plan – this week and then the actual conduct of the battle next week.

Though previously troubled, the Peacock and A24 series Crystal Lake is now moving full speed ahead—Linda Cardellini will star as Jason Voorhees’ equally murderous mom, Pamela Voorhees—Friday the 13th fans are still longing to see Jason return to the big screen. The rights to the franchise have been in a legal tangle for years, with Sean S.
