To deliver mobility, connectivity, and the Galaxy ecosystem at an accessible price, Samsung recently unveiled two new affordable models in its Galaxy Book lineup, the Galaxy Book Go and Galaxy Book Go 5G. Both of these models are now on sale for consumers who desire a range of options at a reasonable price point.
The new additions to Samsung’s PC lineup are developed in collaboration with Qualcomm. The Galaxy Book Go is built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 compute platform and the Galaxy Book Go 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G.
With long-lasting battery lives, the latest processors and the Qualcomm Adreno GPU, the laptops promise top-notch performance.
“The Galaxy Book Go series is built for today’s mobile-first users, who expect seamless communication, sustained productivity, and immersive entertainment — all in one device,” said Woncheol Chai, senior vice president and head of the Experience Planning Team for Samsung Electronics’ Mobile Communications Business.
Samsung’s new releases leverage the latest Windows 10 operating system, so we should be able to expect fast boot speeds from them. They feature 14-inch TFT FHD displays, 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage.
Weighing just 3.04 pounds, the Galaxy Book Go series sport a thin and lightweight design. They boast military-grade durability despite the affordable price, and also feature Dolby Atmos speakers for excellent audio quality.
Users can expand their Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and wearables experiences by pairing those devices with the Galaxy Book Go series. Via a la-gfree connection, Samsung allows consumers to sync their phones with the laptops to manage calls and texts. They can also mirror their apps for an enhanced display or for dual-screen productivity.
The Galaxy Book Smart Switch can be utilized for a seamless transfer of files from users’ current PCs to the Galaxy Book Go series devices, and Quick Share permits sharing documents between Galaxy devices without access to the internet.
The Galaxy Book Go is available now for purchase in the U.S., while the Galaxy Book Go 5G will be available later this year.
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.
