I tested the new MacBook Neo non-stop for our big review and also did a subscriber AMA on it. (Thanks again for all the great questions!) The Neo is the new easy answer for most basic users wanting an affordable laptop.

EasySMX followed up its excellent S10 controller with the cheaper S10 Lite that’s better in one very cool way and a little worse in others. Ultimately, its cheaper price is worth paying for comfy ergonomics and native Switch 2 software support, but the S10 is still the leader in our updated buying guide.

So far, the only brick-built versions of Mario you can get are the electronic interactive ones, the super-sized version driving a kart, and the pixelated 2D ones. But according to a short video teaser Nintendo of America shared on X, Super Mario Lego minifigures are enroute, you’ll just have to wait until next year to get them.

Here’s a deal on a slick power bank that might very well be the sweet spot in terms of size, capacity and speed. Iniu’s black 20,000mAh power bank that can deliver up to 65W with its included USB-C cable is $22.94 (usually $50.99) at Amazon. You’ll see the price drop at checkout.

Following the debut of Insta360’s Antigravity A1 drone last December, DJI has shared a teaser for a new drone it’s announcing on March 26th at 12PM GMT/7AM EST. The DJI Avata 360 will be the company’s first 8K 360-degree drone and a follow-up to 2024’s Avata 2. Few details are known, including whether it will launch in the US.

Lego’s supersized Mario Kart set that debuted exactly a year ago is getting some competition. A 2,234-piece Luigi version is now available for preorder for $179.99 before launching on April 1st. It features Luigi in the Mach 8 kart that was immortalized in the viral death stare video, but without Luigi’s angry, rage-filled expression.

Bloomberg reports Apple manufactured 55 million iPhones in India in 2025, up from 36 million a year before, following a concerted effort to move production after Trump’s tariffs. Its aim is reportedly to build the 60 million annual US iPhone sales to India by the end of this year.

Originally shown at CES 2026, Rode has officially announced its new $599 Rodecaster Video Core, a buttonless video switcher featuring similar connectivity to last year’s Rodecaster Video S. It can automatically switch between connected cameras by detecting who’s speaking (including iPhones connected wirelessly) or you can manually switch between sources by pairing it with the Rodecaster Pro II and Rodecaster Duo audio mixers.

Android Headlines has published renders from leaker OnLeaks reportedly revealing the design of the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold expected to be announced later this year. The design remains mostly unchanged from last year’s more durable Pixel 10 Pro Fold, but there’s a slightly redesigned camera bump with the actual lenses protruding more, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold will be slightly thinner at 10.1mm when folded, and 4.8mm when open.

Anker’s Prime Wireless Charging Station was one of the company’s pricier announcements from CES this year, but it’s now available for a new low of $115.99 ($34 off) from Amazon and Anker (with code WS7DV2HYTPOD). The foldable stand can deliver up to 25W to your phone while charging a pair of earbuds and an Apple Watch, and introduces an “airflow cooling system” to help maintain efficient charging.

After acquiring Arduino last October Qualcomm has announced a new single-board computer called the Ventuno Q.

Oppo says its latest flagship foldable will be getting a “global launch” on March 17th. A promo for the Find N6 was also posted by Oppo’s official X account, though specific regional availability hasn’t been confirmed. The Find N5’s “global” release never went beyond Asia, will this make it further afield?
