    Slumping laptop sales also means more laptop sales.

    Apple laptop sales may be down, but while updating our guide to the best MacBook deals, I noticed all MacBooks and Mac Minis are currently selling at an all-time low.

    How low? The M1 Air is $200 off. The 13-inch M2 Air is $999. The 14-inch Pro is $250 off. Even preordering the new 15-inch Air saves you $50.

    Apparently, what’s bad for Apple is good for our wallets.

    Damn, I’m a sucker for this Spider-Man 2 art from Insomniac.

    Venom and the symbiote may just be one of the enemies in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and the bigger news for the PS5 exclusive game at Summer Game Fest 2023 may be its launch date, but look at this art. I need a wallpaper of this.

    Or maybe a poster? Or a giant wall scroll? I’m still a teenager, right?

    “People don’t appreciate the kind of artistry of what we did here.”

    The artistry of watchmaking is pretty obvious with luxury brands like Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Omega. But in exploring the Apple Watch’s band release buttons — our latest Button of the Month — we learned from ex-Apple engineers just how much went into its strap system and how Apple bought up the same CNC machines used by Rolex to do it.

    The unsung heroes of the Apple Watch are its hidden buttons

    Changing watch straps isn’t new, but Apple’s hidden little buttons simplified it and took it mainstream.
