Maximize your monitor’s flexibility with the Fleximounts F9 Desk Mount, now $70

Now available on Amazon for $70, the Fleximounts F9 Desk Mount allows you to mount your PC display on a fully adjustable monitor arm for a completely custom and flexible setup.

There are few things as annoying as getting a new desktop monitor and finding out that it doesn’t adjust to your needs. Many displays have a limited range of screen movement and odd viewing angles can cause eye strain and make colors wash out. Wall-mounted monitor stands are an option but can be a hassle to install as they generally require that holes be drilled in your wall, making a desk-mounted option like the Buy Now  a very attractive solution.

The Fleximounts F9 Desk Mount is fully adjustable, featuring a dual-arm design which can rotate in a 360-degree arc on its base. The arms can both swivel and extend at the elbow joint, and the mounting plate allows you to easily tilt and rotate your monitor to achieve the perfect viewing angle. The arms also contain channels which provide space to stow monitor cords so you can keep them organized, reduce clutter, and prevent cables from getting caught up while adjusting the mount. Two USB ports integrated into the base provide charging points for your phone or other devices.

The Fleximounts F9 is made from polymer and aircraft-grade aluminum which reduces weight and improves durability. Unlike traditional wall-mounted units, the F9 offers secure attachment to a desk or table. The standard clamp system can mount to a desk that is between 0.79 and 4.72 inches thick and for those who don’t mind drilling, the included grommet system can attach to your desk via any hole that is between 0.33 and 2.75 inches wide. Either method can support monitors of up to 19.8 lbs and removes the need for drilling into a wall.

The Buy Now  currently has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon with more than two dozen customer reviews. Now Buy Now , the F9 is a versatile and affordable solution for a fully flexible desktop display setup.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
