The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 14Q8X9 is one of the first 2-in-1 laptops powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus—a chip that promises long battery life, whisper-quiet performance, and baked-in AI features thanks to its onboard NPU. It’s part of Microsoft’s new Copilot+ PC lineup, aiming to redefine what thin-and-light Windows laptops can do.
You should expect near-instant wake times, efficient multitasking, and all-day endurance without the thermal noise of a traditional x86 processor.

The Acer Swift Go 14 AI looks like it belongs in a college lecture hall -- quiet, polite, and likely watching Netflix in the background instead of paying attention. This Copilot+ laptop wants to be your next everything machine: work, school, and some streaming, all for under $800. Its battery life highlights a lot of what we like about the Snapdragon X-series laptops we’ve been seeing lately.
Specs and design
The Acer Swift 14 Go 14 AI has an unassuming look.

Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jimenez’ Batman run has been a fascinating book, to put it mildly. Sometimes, like the first arc and #900, it’s a really fun and cool book that operates as what I like to affectionately call my “Saturday Morning Batman book.” It doesn’t really have me thinking about a lot, but it’s certainly got its grip on me the whole time I’m reading through it.

If I had to summarize Gotham War in a few words, I’d say “it’s a mess.” Frankly, a very interesting premise that’s held back by the writing, both in terms of quality and in terms of committing to the premise. Even so, I think the first half is fine, sometimes good, until it sets up the back half. “How is that back half?” you may ask. I hate being outright mean towards comics. These things are hard to create, and a lot of work, unappreciated work, goes into them.

Meta Quest 3 headset on my head. . Virtual reality has certainly experienced a rollercoaster of expectations in recent years. While the lofty dreams of an all-encompassing digital universe have yet to materialize fully, the Meta Quest 3 represents a recalibration of the metaverse vision proposed by Mark Zuckerberg. Instead of a dystopian portrayal akin to "Ready Player One," it refers to the fundamentals: playful arm-waving, immersive gaming, and watching sports in VR.

If you think FLAC is the audiophile's friend when it comes to lossless music files, a large language model (LLM) has news for you, as it's now laying claim to compression as part of AI's growing realm of influence, too. A study titled "Language Modeling Is Compression" (via ArsTechnica) discusses a finding about an LLM by DeepMind called Chinchilla 70B and its ability to perform lossless data compression better than FLAC for audio and PNG for pictures.

The Varjo VR headsets have always skewed more towards enterprise than a traditional consumer-grade VR experience. You know, for those folks with intense Microsoft Flight Simulator or whole F1 cockpits in their garage. The Varjo Aero, however, is looking to bridge the gap between the casual VR gamer and someone who would refer to the real world as 'meatspace.'The headset itself is really swinging for the fence.

Ray-ban Meta Smart Glasses. At the Meta Connect Keynote, it wasn't all VR headsets and Snoop Dogg-powered AIs. Meta is looking to turn everyone into an IRL streamer by announcing the new Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses that will let wearers livestream to their followers and allow for some first-person POV filming. The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are an upgrade from Ray-Ban's Stories smart glasses that never quite took off because of poor battery life and recording capabilities.

Zuckerberg talking about the Meta Quest 3. We finally got more information on the much-talked-about Meta Quest 3 mixed-reality headset during today's Meta Connect Keynote. From the looks of it, Meta is going hard to bring mixed reality gaming and productivity to the masses and giving it a big performance boost over the already impressive Meta Quest 2. Meta announced the Quest 3 in June, but aside from giving a price, it was light on details.

PowerA Advantage with Lumectra. I feel bad for controller makers. The Xbox Core Wireless and the PlayStation DualSense are pretty much the best things you can put your hands on. Once you find a controller you like, you tend to stick with it. PowerA is going to try anyway. The company has always made reliable, affordable controllers that look good, and its Advantage line of Xbox controllers does a good job of feeling familiar while also trying some new things.
