    The DadStation Portal.

    Sony is just now giving its PlayStation Portal the fancy ad treatment, nearly a year and a half after its launch. Unsurprisingly, it’s aimed at families, by way of a busy dad. That tracks with Sony’s stats showing how the PS5 remote player is used.

    An ad push following the beta testing of cloud game streaming is likely another strong indicator that Sony’s single-purpose device has proved successful.

    Apple MacBook Air M4 review: a little more for a little less

    Small improvements and a price reduction go a long way for the MacBook Air and Macs as a whole.

    Teaser and leaked images point to a super-X100 camera from Fujifilm.

    There are rumors that Fujifilm will expand its medium format camera offerings with a fixed-lens compact GFX1000RF, akin an X100VI with a much larger 100-megapixel sensor. Fujifilm teased a new camera in the video for its upcoming X Summit, and Fujirumors has posted two leaked images showing more.

    It would likely cost much more than the popular and still-scarce X100VI, possibly competing more with the $6,300 full-frame Leica Q3.

    I love a ridiculously oversized calculator.

    The Lenovo ThinkBook Flip concept has another fun trick up it’s sleeve besides its foldable display. Its trackpad has hidden LED icons built into it, allowing you to summon three layers of controls and handy shortcuts.

    My favorite was using it as a number pad and calling up the calculator app on the laptop’s giant 18.1-inch screen, but it has other (more useful) features too — including custom user-defined ones.

    Lenovo’s concept monitor and USB hub offer plug-in discrete NPUs for AI work.

    Lenovo announced two concept AI accessories at Mobile World Congress 2025. The pair of devices, creatively named AI Display and AI Stick, have built-in NPUs capable of 32 TOPS, allowing users to do local AI work on just about any computer plugged in via USB.

    Like other Lenovo proofs of concept, we don’t know if the AI Display or AI Stick will ever come to market — but there’s a chance.

    <em>Yep, that looks like a monitor. But inside the Lenovo AI Display concept is a dedicated NPU.</em>

    Lenovo is testing glasses-free computers with a ring controller.

    Lenovo’s new ThinkBook 3D Laptop Concept and Hybrid Dimensional 34-inch Curved Monitor Concept, announced at Mobile World Congress 2025, use directional backlighting and head tracking to simultaneously show 2D and 3D content without glasses. An accompanying AI Ring concept can be worn to control them with gesture-based spatial controls.

    It sounds like Leia’s tech, but Lenovo reps would not confirm during my short demo.

    Maybe 3D is coming back? (I doubt it.)

    <em>I briefly saw a version of this tech demoed on a ThinkBook 16 with a magnetic Magic Bay Dual Camera Concept attached. On the right was a 2D presentation and on the left was a 3D music video playing.</em>
    <em>The 3D effect doesn’t show in pictures, but it looked... okay. And looking at the screen off-axis shows some artifacts.</em>
