App Tracking is Apple’s undoing Last year, Apple introduced App Tracking Transparency, allowing iPhone and iPad to block ad tracking across other companies’ apps and websites. It’s a privacy feature that lets users opt out of having their data collected by various apps, which has been a hit with users.

Still, if a frosty-coated laptop with a sturdy, cool chassis and decent frame rates is your jam, the TUF Dash F15 is a great choice....

The laptop’s keyboard deck may look like it’s made of the same material, but it’s composed of a metal-looking plastic, which did a fine job of supporting my wrists.
