Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin are not only incredibly popular these days, but potentially lucrative endeavors for those serious about mining any of those alternative, digital (…and unregulated…) currencies. In fact, the hardware used to mine these cryto-currencies is so popular and seemingly in such high demand lately that AMD’s Radeon R9 290X graphics cards aren’t exactly easy to find, and those that are available are selling for significantly more than the original price.
On top of that, some PCI-Express cards specifically designed to mine alternative currencies are selling for significantly higher rates on eBay than if you but them directly from their manufacturer. Butterfly Labs’ GH 600 Bitcoin Mining Card is one of those cards.
Though Butterfly Labs has priced the GH 600 for $2,196 directly from their site, one listing on eBay has the same card priced at $3,399, plus $69.99 for shipping. That’s a price hike of over 50 percent. You may be thinking something along the lines of “Who would pay that?!,” but the GH 600 card currently has 8 watchers. This comes after certain high-end AMD cards experienced substantial price hikes and shortages after a reported surge in sales due to its popularity with Litecoin miners.
The Butterfly Labs GH 600 comes in PCI-Express format, occupies a pair of expansion slots, and features USB 2.0. Though an exact release date has not been revealed, it is currently available for pre-order and will be released sometime this coming April.

Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.
The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.

Mini PCs have become an increasingly practical alternative to traditional desktops, especially if you're trying to save desk space without giving up the Windows experience. Whether you need something for everyday work, a home entertainment setup, or more demanding creative tasks, there's a surprising amount of hardware packed into these compact machines.
Apple has unveiled a new iMac and a 14-inch MacBook Pro, both powered by its new baseline M6 chip. If you’ve been eyeing either device, now is the time to act, as entry-level configurations are becoming harder to get with each product launch.
The devices will be open for pre-order Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 10:10 AM PT. Meanwhile, deliveries and store stock will arrive on Friday, November 6.
