While this report from the Taipei, China-based Digitimes publication doesn’t call the laptop a MacBook Air outright, its description of the new notebook as “an entry-level 13-inch MacBook” brings to mind Air, which just turned 10 and is in dire need of a modern revamp.

Since its launch, GeForce Now licensing issues with Activision/Blizzard and Bethesda led to the removal of a number of games. To prevent any future mishaps, GeForce Now’s opt-in policy aims to secure its library and restore user faith. Nvidia says that more than 200 game publishers are already on board and some are pending. Those who don’t opt-in by May 31 will have their games removed from its platform. “Going forward, only the games that are opted in will be available on the service, providing confidence in the GeForce Now game library,” Nvidia said in a blog post....

Apple is expected to release its first laptop running on custom ARM-based silicon later this year, but it won’t be the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Instead, the Pro could be updated before the start of 2021 with new Intel-based chips. Yes, Intel’s exile from Apple products might be greatly exaggerated. As discovered by Twitter user @atharvakale343, the latest version of Boot Camp includes references to a 16-inch MacBook Pro (2020)....

Beyond the benefits for gamers using GeForce RTX 20-series GPUs, perhaps the more important piece of the puzzle is that the new implementation is reportedly considerably easier for developers to integrate into their games making it far more likely that we see the widespread adoption that DLSS 1.0 lacked. Let’s take a quick look at how DLSS 2.0 works and some of the results that NVIDIA is showing off so far....

Best MacBook in 2021: Which Apple laptop is best?Apple event delayed — iPad Pro 2021 might not arrive this monthThe best Apple deals for March 2021 According to Kuo (via 9to5Mac), while the upcoming iPad Pro will get a mini-LED display, all other iPads to to be released in the near future will use OLED, starting with the iPad Air 2022 model. OLED displays are cheaper than mini-LED panels, so Apple will stick to using OLED to keep the price down on its more affordable tablets — possibly including the iPad mini, iPad Air and original iPad....

The biggest change is that the options are all featured in sidebars. On the left is a bar with a video player, download manager, screenshot clipper and image viewer, while the right sidebar holds all of your tabs.

Design At less than an inch thick and a little more than four pounds, this is one slim laptop. That puts it on a par with the likes of the Razer Blade 15 and Alienware m15. Origin outfitted the laptop in its default red aluminum lid, which is lovely, to start. But since Origin is a bespoke company, you can trick out the system with a custom paint job — for a little extra money, of course....

While Google has truly changed up its game plan and the Pixel 5 is its top smartphone this year at $699, Samsung’s Galaxy S20 FE is just a slightly scaled-back Galaxy S20 that shaves off some of the features and $300 off the price of that $999 flagship that launched in March. Here’s an in-depth look at how the Pixel 5 and the Galaxy S20 FE compare to one another and which one we think will be the right choice for you....

While both phones come in at under the $1,000 mark, the OnePlus just barely ekes it out at $969 compared to the $899 starting price of the Pixel 6 Pro. Both phones feature similar specs with solid rear camera arrays, 6.7-inch adaptive 120Hz AMOLED screens, in-display fingerprint sensors and IP68 water and dust resistance. While Google has dramatically improved its hardware this year, OnePlus has made notable improvements to its software update policies that have traditionally held it back, making this a much more even fight than we’ve seen in the past....

Yes, even though the highly-leaked Pixel 4 is the topic on most people’s tongues, we’ve got good reason to expect that Sundar Pichai’s team will also reveal its next Chrome OS laptop to the tech press gathered in New York City. For starters, the pattern is there: ever since 2013, Google’s released a new Chrome OS laptop every two years (the Pixelbook launched in 2017). Secondly — and most recently — specs for a Core i3-powered device running Android 9 with the model ID ‘Google hatch hit Geekbench....

The Pixelbook is the first Chromebook to have Google Assistant built-in. There’s a dedicated key on the keyboard to summon the Assistant when you’d prefer not to use the “OK Google” vocal command. Even the optional Pixelbook Pen comes with a dedicated button for harnessing the Assistant’s powers. Clearly, Google sees the Pixelbook as a device that can take the software and artificial intelligence experience found in the company’s Pixel smartphone — the clue is right there in the Pixelbook’s name — and recreate that on a slender, convertible Chromebook....
