Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 ZDNET's key takeaways The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an excellent upgrade over its predecessor, thanks to its slim and light design, a strong hinge and a wider coverscreen. It's very expensive at $2,000 for the starting configuration. But you'll dig the improved hardware, especially if you're familiar with foldable phones from the global market. $2,000 at Samsung $2,000 at Amazon more buying choices The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung's biggest design overhaul since the Z Fold 2 in

All-in-one (AIO) computers combine performance and speed in a space-saving design, integrating components into a single monitor. These machines are ideal for households wanting a clean setup without sacrificing basic functionality. The best laptop can offer a similar experience, but I still recommend AIOs for their larger screens and often powerful audio systems.

Not surprisingly, Congress is pushing back against the Trump administration's proposal to cancel the Space Launch System, the behemoth rocket NASA has developed to propel astronauts back to the Moon. Spending bills making their way through both houses of Congress reject the White House's plan to wind down the SLS rocket after two more launches, but the text of a draft budget recently released by the House Appropriations Committee suggests an openness to making some major changes to the program.
