Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways RAM is an important hardware resource that allows a computer to perform optimally and at fast speeds. Escalating computing demands have made 16GB of RAM the new standard for PCs and laptops if they are to continue performing at their best. Even then, 16GB of memory may not be enough for certain users, so it's important to know when to upgrade. I used to struggle when shopping for a new computer. Ove

Apple’s iPhone 17 event is officially just around the corner. As new hardware arrives, we can expect Apple to discontinue seven products that it currently sells. iPhone 17 is the event headliner. With the arrival of four new iPhones, we can expect Apple to stop selling three iPhones that are currently in its store. Earlier this year, Apple replaced the antiquated iPhone SE with the more modern iPhone 16e. We currently expect Apple’s entry-priced iPhone to see annual updates, so it’s not going

The latest Framework 16 modular laptop includes the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

There's a refresh of the popular Framework Laptop 16 available for pre-order right now, and it's a doozy. The new model is heavy on high-grade specs, with the inclusion of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU and AMD's Ryzen AI 300 Series processors. We loved the modular nature of the previous iteration, but said the internals were a bit underpowered for serious gamers. It looks like that's been handled here.

The company has launched a version of the Framework Laptop 13 with Ryzen AI processors, the new Framework Laptop 12, and the aforementioned desktop in the last six months, and last week, Framework teased that it still had "something big coming."

Andreessen Horowitz’ plan to push its agenda in Washington shows no sign of slowing down, with the firm reporting $1.49 million in federal lobbying so far this year, according to lobbying records filed with Congress. A16z is even narrowly outspending its own industry trade group, the National Venture Capital Association.

Is the Camera Control button one of the biggest iPhone flops? [Poll]

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-10 14:17:55

A random report from an account with zero track-record for anything claims that the iPhone 18 will drop the Camera Control button as too few people are using it. The claim is entirely meaningless, but I strongly suspect that it’s right in one respect: that hardly anyone is using the feature … The Camera Control button was introduced in the two iPhone 16 Pro models a little under a year ago, and Apple made a pretty big deal of it at the time.

Camp Snap CS-8 Review: Simple Video Capture

The Camp Snap CS-8 doesn’t care about frame rates, bit rates, or whether your footage is stabilized to unerring levels of steadiness. It doesn’t want to replace your iPhone or compete with your mirrorless camera setup. What it offers instead is something far simpler and more deliberate: the feeling of shooting video for the sake of it.
