When I drove down to Apple HQ for the company's WWDC 2025 keynote earlier this month the last thing I expected to see was macOS looking a bit more like Windows. But in a sense, that's exactly how I felt when I saw Apple's Raja Bose break down how the company is upgrading Spotlight Search in macOS 26. The search tool is getting supercharged on macOS this year, and it reminds me of nothing so much as the Windows 11 Start button.

If you're not familiar with Framework, you should be.

The summer solstice is right around the corner, and with temperatures rising I'm seeing prices fall on gaming laptops at retailers around the world.

I've been writing about PCs for decades, and I've found one of the most useful gadgets to have around is a simple USB drive with both USB-A and USB-C jacks so you can easily move files around between devices. They're cheap too, and right now is a great time to buy my favorite because it's on sale for a sweet discount. The SanDisk 128GB Ultra Dual Drive Go is $17 at Amazon for a limited time, which is over 20% off the usual $21.49 asking price.
