If you have ever spent more time scrolling through rows of content than actually watching one, Google has a fix. With the latest Gemini update for Google TV, you can talk to the assistant, ask questions, and get relevant information in one place.

The update brings three Gemini features so you don’t have to grab your phone to check scores or figure out what to watch.

Smarter answers and deep learning on your Google TV

Gemini now responds with richer, more useful results depending on what you ask. If you ask for a recipe, you will get a video tutorial instead of just text. It basically combines visuals, videos, and information in one response, so you don’t need to search elsewhere.

There is also a new “deep dives” feature that turns your TV into a learning tool. You can explore topics like health, technology, or economics through narrated visual breakdowns.

For example, Gemini can explain how cold plunging affects your body or show how matcha is made step by step. You can even go further by tapping “Dive deeper,” which opens guided, interactive explanations with follow-up questions.

Gemini on Google TV will keep you updated on sports news

Google is also expanding its short news summaries into sports. These new sports briefs give you quick, narrated updates on leagues like the NBA, NHL, MLB, and more. If you check sports scores, you will see a live scorecard along with where to watch.

Instead of searching on the web, you can get highlights, player updates, and game summaries through Gemini. It can also help change your Google TV settings through voice commands.

These features are now rolling out to Gemini-enabled devices in the U.S. and Canada, with broader device support coming soon. The Gemini voice assistant on Google TV is expected to reach more countries later this year.

If this works as intended, your smart TV could become the place where you search, learn, and stay updated without ever reaching for your phone.

A metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest upgrades for snazzy gaming setups
The Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Y7MG mouse bring 8K polling to both sides of your gaming setup

Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice are hardly unusual anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas a little further with its latest Legion peripherals. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for players who want every input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lenovo has styled these peripherals to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without getting in the way of practicality. The keyboard has a hefty metallic design with translucent keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is more tame and traditional in design, but it also has an RGB strip that appears to belong on an alien spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the budget laptops I’d actually recommend
From a $359 Chromebook to the cheapest way into macOS, these are the budget picks worth your money.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

The back-to-school season often turns into a laptop, especially the budget ones that aren't too heavy on your wallet. Due to the ongoing memory crisis, most manufacturers have already bumped up their laptop prices, including Apple. However, that doesn't mean that I won't help you get a new machine. So, for this one, I spent time digging through spec sheets, customer ratings, and price tags, finding devices that don't just look cheap in an Amazon listing, but actually hold up. 

From a flexible touchscreen Chromebook to the least expensive way into macOS, these six laptops balance price and performance well. I'd hand any one of them to a student heading back to campus this fall, depending on what they need and what their priorities are.

Asus’ latest Zenbook puts a seriously bright OLED screen inside an impossibly slim body
The Zenbook 14 Air is only 11mm thick but still packs a 77Wh battery
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Asus has introduced a new AMD-powered version of the Zenbook 14 Air 2026, combining a bright OLED display and a large battery inside an 11mm-thick chassis. It weighs 1.19kg, keeping it firmly in ultraportable territory despite the 77Wh battery inside.

The Zenbook 14 Air 2026 itself is not entirely new. Asus launched an Intel configuration powered by the Core Ultra 9 386H in China back in January. The latest version switches to AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 H 445 and is priced at CNY 9,999, or around $1,477. (via Notebookcheck)
