These unassuming pliers replaced my multitool for a fraction of the cost But sometimes there's a tool that completely changes the way you work, and you wonder why it took you so long to get one. This is how I feel about my Stanley Maxsteel MultiAngle Base Vise . It's an invaluable tool that goes a long way for me in the workshop.
Weighing only 26.5 ounces, it's the lightest steam iron Panasonic has ever made. It's also cordless, comes with a handy carrying case, and heats up in 50 seconds on the accompanying power base (that plugs into a standard electrical outlet). The power base features a built-in cord compartment to make setup and storage easy. So already it solves some of my biggest gripes with traditional irons.
Technologies tend to have a natural ceiling built into their utility and popularity. Once they've solved all the problems they can solve, their growth is effectively capped. As soon as all potato fans own a potato peeler, the peeler market's growth potential is largely tapped out. Indeed, the big question around AI at the moment is how many problems it will be able to solve. The market could already be overblown, or it could be practically limitless.
I wanted to love Amazon's $630 Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. It has everything I covet. An E Ink display with front lighting and color. A pressure-sensitive stylus. The ability to take notes and annotate my existing library of ebooks. A distinct lack of distracting apps. And, for a certain type of person, this is the sweet spot between an iPad, an analog journal, and a regular e-reader.
The first thing that stands out is the form. Instead of the usual squat base with a forest of buttons, this processor reads almost like a compact handheld vacuum crossed with a milk frother. A clean cylinder holds the motor and battery, with a straight handle projecting from the side and a clear jar below. The lines are smooth and rounded, and the whole object looks soft without being cute for the sake of it.
The ExpertBook P3 is a compact laptop that's easy to tote around, measuring 12.31 x 8.94 x 0.71 inches and weighing just under three pounds. Asus uses the available space quite effectively here. The all-black keyboard is surprisingly comfortable, with a good amount of travel distance that avoids mushy keys. It even has a full-sized number pad that doesn't overly compress the key sizes.
If you are in the market for a new Apple laptop, it can be confusing to choose the one that suits your needs. After all, the company recently released an all-new 14-inch base MacBook Pro powered by its latest M5 processor. It is more powerful than the $999 but not as formidable as the more expensive M4 Pro and M4 Max-powered machines.
A safe, universal platform for AI workloads CKACP's goal is to create community-defined, open standards for consistently and reliably running AI workloads across different Kubernetes environments. Also: Why even a US tech giant is launching 'sovereign support' for Europe now CNCF CTO Chris Aniszczyk said, "This conformance program will create shared criteria to ensure AI workloads behave predictably across environments. It builds on the same successful community-driven process we've used with Kubernetes to help bring consistency across over 100-plus Kubernetes systems as AI adoption scales."
These days, it feels like everyone is hitting the road in an RV or cruising around on a yacht. It's a pretty appealing lifestyle, honestly. But once you're parked or tied up at the dock, you still need a way to get around. That's where a lightweight electric bike really comes in handy. The Heybike Helio F stands out in this category; it's designed to fit right in with life on the move.
The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip is Apple's entrenched, well-worn, and still elegant stepping stone into 2026. In a year's time, we'll hopefully see whole new varieties of MacBooks hit the scene. But I don't much enjoy pretending to exist in some vague futurenot when we don't know how our current economic reality will shape tomorrow's gadget economy. Existing in the now, with the singular new MacBook Pro in tow sporting Apple's latest silicon, you can feel safe knowing it's still a great laptop.
That doesn't matter if I'm using last year's iPad Pro with M4 chip or Apple's new refresh with M5 chip powering this light, slim, and still-powerful tablet. It's prettier than the rest. It's more portable than most other devices with its thin frame (and yes, it's still a slimmer frisbee than the iPad Air). And to hell with it, is there really any competition for tablets at this point that isn't some oversized Samsung Galaxy device?
I found myself downloading more e-books from my public library and reading a wider variety of novels because of how easy it was to rent them through Libby and read them while I sat on the subway or passed the time in the waiting room of doctor's appointments. The Kindle actually fits in my coat pocket, which is nearly miraculous for a woman given how small women's pockets are.
That breadth of choices means choosing a gaming laptop in 2025 isn't simple. While picking any option from our Best Gaming Laptops guide is a good place to start, you still might not end up with a gaming laptop perfectly suited for your needs. Having tested many gaming laptops in over a decade of reviewing products, I'll break down each element of these spendy machines to lead you in the right direction, as well as explain what to expect from the major laptop brands.
The JVM has two primary functions: to allow Java programs to run on any device or operating system (known as the "write once, run anywhere" principle), and to manage and optimize program memory. When Java was released in 1995, all computer programs were written to a specific operating system, and program memory was managed by the software developer. It's not hard to see why the JVM was a revelation in that era.
