The Obook 15 is a $689.99 AMD-powered machine with a built-in AI agent, and it’s Orico’s first move into the full PC category. Orico has spent 17 years selling storage and connectivity gear, and it’s now branching into something bigger. The company has launched the Obook 15, its first laptop, in the US and the Philippines. It’s aimed at students, professionals, and content creators who want a mainstream machine without that premium price tag. The Obook 15 runs on an AMD Ryzen 7 H-series processor with eight cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of up to 4.7GHz. Graphics come…

Kryton was born in Columbus (Ohio) where he was brought up by two amazingly cunning parents that were (and still are) deeply buried within geek culture. This rubbed off onto Kryton like basic life programming, leading him down a path of pop culture, wild fictional obsessions. and sometimes a video game or two. He is strangely robotic in person due to his timid personality, but don't let this throw you off. He knows how to use this to his advantage and can quickly level a discussion with some unexpected quirky humor that no one sees coming. He has recently joined us as an intern.

Amazon’s fall sale officially runs October 6th and 7th, but plenty of the discounts you’d expect to see that week are already up. Here are 20 worth a look right now. Amazon’s second Prime Day of the year, officially branded Prime Big Deal Days, doesn’t kick off until October 6th at 12:01AM PT, running through the 7th. But as has become standard practice, Amazon’s started rolling out early discounts well ahead of the actual event, and plenty of them are worth grabbing before the floodgates open and everything gets buried under a mountain of listings. New deals during the event…
Unveiled at Meta Connect 2026, the $1,299 device swaps a bulky headset for a pair of glasses tethered to an external compute puck — and it’s not arriving until spring. Meta used its Connect keynote to unveil what might be the company’s biggest departure yet from the traditional VR headset shape. Called simply Meta VR Glasses, the device weighs around 100 grams — about the weight of a deck of cards, and by Meta’s count, roughly five times lighter than a Quest 3 — by offloading the processor, battery, and storage into a separate compute module that clips to your…
The new Connectors feature turns the cabin into a hands-free workstation, while a separate Grok Bot mode can handle multi-step errands for SuperGrok Heavy subscribers. Tesla just gave Grok its biggest capability jump yet inside the cabin. The company announced on X that Grok can now tap into external accounts through a new feature called Connectors, letting drivers manage their email, tidy up their calendar, or sift through existing files and chat threads, all without touching a screen. Setup is straightforward: open the Grok app in the car, tap the plus icon, select “New Connector,” pick a service, and sign…
JBL has officially launched the Pulse 6, the newest entry in its long-running lineup of Bluetooth speakers that double as ambient light shows. It’s a $329.95 speaker — $80 more than the Pulse 5 cost at launch — that keeps the series’ signature 360-degree lightshow while adding a new illuminated carrying handle, built from what JBL says is 93 percent recycled metal, giving the whole thing a lantern-like look. The lighting is still the headline act here, as it’s been since the Pulse series debuted back in 2013. The Pulse 6 ships with 16 total themes managed through the JBL…
Amazon has locked in the dates for its fall Prime Day event. Prime Big Deal Days will run for 48 hours starting at 12:01AM PT on October 6th and wrapping up at 11:59PM PT on October 7th. New deals will drop three times a day throughout the event — at midnight, 8AM, and 1PM PT — through Amazon’s “Today’s Big Deals” page, so it’s worth checking back rather than assuming everything goes live at once. Amazon says the sale will span more than 35 categories, with deals hitting seasonal fall and holiday items alongside the usual mix of tech, home…
If you’ve ever bought a pair of high-end Bluetooth headphones only to realize your phone or console can’t actually take advantage of them, Questyle’s latest gadget is aimed squarely at that problem. The company has released the QCC Dongle Pro2, a $99 plug-and-play Bluetooth transmitter that’s meant to bolt on the codec support your device is missing, whether that’s an iPhone stuck on SBC and AAC, a PC with flaky Bluetooth drivers, or a PS5 and Switch that don’t do Bluetooth audio at low latency at all. The dongle plugs into whatever you’re using as a source and handles the…
E-bike brand ENGWE has signed Dutch football legend Robin van Persie as its new brand ambassador, timed to land just ahead of Car-Free Day. The campaign built around him is called “GOOD AS G.O.A.T,” a pun on “good as gold” that leans on Van Persie’s resume — a Premier League title, two Golden Boots, and that diving header at the 2014 World Cup — to sell a fairly simple pitch: an e-bike you can count on, the same way Van Persie’s teams could count on him. It’s the kind of athlete-to-product parallel these partnerships always reach for, but ENGWE is leaning…
Nanoleaf is joining forces with one of its smart home peers. OneRobotics, the Shenzhen-based (China) parent company behind SwitchBot, announced it’s acquiring Nanoleaf in a deal reportedly worth around $40 million, paid out over the next two years. It’s a notable consolidation in a smart home market that’s had no shortage of small, scrappy brands competing for the same shelf space — and increasingly, not enough room for all of them. Nanoleaf has built its name on colorful, geometric light panels, along with bulbs, light strips, and more recently a foray into wellness gear like LED face masks. SwitchBot, meanwhile,…
For years, Philips Hue and Nanoleaf have basically ignored each other’s existence, each building its own walled garden of bulbs, strips, and panels. That’s changing. At IFA 2026 in Berlin, Signify — the company behind Philips Hue — announced a partnership with Nanoleaf that lets you bring Nanoleaf’s geometric wall panels into the Hue ecosystem for the first time. The centerpiece is a new accessory called the Philips Hue x Nanoleaf Wall Light Module, a small clip-in adapter that costs $39.99 (£34.99) and attaches directly to a compatible Nanoleaf panel. Once it’s connected, you can control those panels from the…
