CheckMag A recent report by AC Analysis seems to indicate AMD's relationship with its laptop OEM partners isn't exactly a rosy affair. The Santa Clara semiconductor giant is reportedly unable to supply enough CPUs to meet partner demands, resulting in little to no presence of AMD Zen 5 Strix Point laptops at trade shows. However, AMD's plans for 2025 give hope for potential course correction and more options for customers.

CheckMag Apple's upcoming MacBook Pro lineup with M4 Pro and M4 Max SoCs is likely to boast serious performance improvements owing to the increased demands of Apple Intelligence, even though any visual changes or OLED displays are unlikely. With the increased possibility of Apple doubling the RAM in its base variant Macs, the upcoming MacBook Pro might be the most bang for buck notebook from Apple in years.

CheckMag Apple may be copying a 15-year-old feature with the Camera Control button, but it's almost guaranteed that Samsung and its ilk will copy the feature. This is excellent news for anyone that wants a physical shutter button but doesn't feel like buying an iPhone or, god forbid, a Sony Xperia phone. Already, two Android brands have jumped on the trend, and the rest should follow shortly.

But some manufacturers are waking up to the fact that not everyone wants a monolith in their pocket. Finally, Apple has adopted the same approach with the iPhone 16 Pro meaning that users no longer have to make compromises.

CheckMag The European made Geo was originally supposed to weigh just 11 kilograms (24 pounds) in total, but came in at around 16 kg (35 pounds) when it was finally delivered to early Kickstarter backers in August of 2024. It's not just the award-winning folding design of this new e-bike from Spanish manufacturer Ossby that stands out amongst its peers of electric folding bikes but also the unusual features and the proposed sustainability of this lightweight city bike in 2024.

That form factor comes with serious sacrifices, though. No EVF, no mechanical shutter, and no hot shoe.
