9 Best Back-to-School Laptop Deals for 2025

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-11-19 03:00:00

The laptop you bring to college is important. Not only is it the device you'll be using through some of the most formative years of your life, but it's also often the one that you'll take to your first job, too. The problem is that the internet is full of laptops that aren't worth the money, especially if you're scrolling through lists of laptops on Amazon or Best Buy. Good news! I've tested each of the following laptops and can wholeheartedly recommend them. More than that, I've been digging t

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-11-19 04:33:10

The latest addition to China’s Tiangong space station is an AI chatbot with expertise in navigation and tactical planning. Named Wukong AI—after the protagonist of the “Monkey King” legend in Chinese mythology, Sun Wukong—the chatbot was introduced on the space station in mid-July, and has already completed its first mission: supporting three taikonauts during a spacewalk. Information about Wukong AI remains limited. Chinese authorities have said that they developed it from a domestic open-sour

The first Pixel 10 Pro Res Zoom samples show up online, and they’re pretty bad

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The first pictures taken with the Pixel 10 Pro’s Pro Res Zoom feature have surfaced online. Pro Res Zoom uses generative AI to capture better long-range zoom shots, at up to 100x. These early samples show some glaring limitations with the technology. The newly launched Google Pixel 10 Pro phones offer a 100x Pro Res Zoom feature. This uses generative AI to improve image quality, but is this just heavy-handed AI or something genuinely useful?

‘Kirby Air Riders’ on Switch 2 Makes a Better Case for the GameCube Than Nintendo Ever Did

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-18 16:03:37

“I have no idea what is happening right now.” I sigh several variations of that phrase in the hour I spend playing through a sliver of Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Kirby Air Riders. I’m tired after a full day’s work—somewhere between fried and manic—but the racing game, which director Masahiro Sakurai quipped in his Tuesday Nintendo Direct was “basically Mario Kart,” is akin to being thrown hurtling down the mouth of a kaleidoscope at 200 miles per hour.

Microsoft's gutting of discounts for some clients likely baked into guidance, analyst says

cnbc.com Jordan Novet 2025-11-19 04:18:04

Microsoft said last week that it plans to stop providing discounts on enterprise purchases of its Microsoft 365 productivity software subscriptions and other cloud applications. Since the announcement, analysts have published estimates on how much more customers will end up paying. But for investors trying to figure out what it all means to Microsoft's financials, analysts at UBS said the change is already factored into guidance.

OpenAI says GPT-6 is coming and it'll be better than GPT-5 (obviously)

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told reporters that GPT-6 is already in the works, and it’ll not take as long as GPT-5. The GPT-6 announcement doesn't surprise me because OpenAI is slowly becoming a product-first company rather than research-focused. There's no denying that OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman overhyped GPT-5 and underdelivered. While GPT-5 isn't exactly bad and actually offers significant improvements over GPT-4 or o3 for coding, the rollout wasn't smooth and some people were expecting more than
