Deleting another game only buys so much time. These four Amazon SSD discounts cover different upgrades, from adding 2TB inside a PC to carrying files between computers. Prices start at $156.99, with a premium Samsung drive for those prioritizing speed.

Kingston NV3 1TB – $156.99 (27% off)

At $156.99, the Kingston NV3 is the cheapest internal drive here, down $59 from its listed price. It has room for everyday applications and a modest game library without charging for flagship speeds those tasks rarely need. Just be realistic about 1TB: if choosing which games to uninstall is already a regular chore, the larger Crucial below deserves a look.

Crucial P310 2TB – $252.42 (13% off)

For a growing game library, I’d take the extra space. The P310 packs twice the capacity of the other drives here for roughly the same price as Samsung’s 9100 Pro. The $37.57 saving is modest, but another terabyte leaves more room for games to stay installed. Before buying, check that the computer has a compatible slot for this M.2 2280 drive.

SanDisk Portable SSD 1TB – $159.99 (28% off)

No screwdriver needed for this one. SanDisk’s portable SSD holds 1TB of documents, photos, and other files that can travel between compatible computers. This newer model advertises reads up to 1,000MB/s and protection against drops of up to two meters. At $159.99, down $61 from its listed price, it suits anyone who needs to carry their storage with them.

Samsung 9100 Pro 1TB – $249.42 (27% off)

Samsung’s 9100 Pro is for people who regularly move large files and have a PC that can take advantage of its speed. The PCIe 5.0 drive has the highest advertised transfer rates here, with $90.57 off its listed price. This version doesn’t include a heatsink, so check the computer’s existing cooling setup before deciding whether to buy one separately.

Canva enters the AI image generation race with Craft, and it’s thinking beyond pretty pictures
The new model plans layouts before generating images, with precise editing and support for 30 aspect ratios.
Canva Craft Featured Image

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.

The browser that revolutionizes tab management is finally riding into the sunset.
Arc browser farewell note.

Arc browser is shutting down on December 22, following a long spell of maintenance-only work as the company behind it moves forward with its successor, Dia. Earlier today, The Browser Company announced that the beloved web browser will ride into the sunset in two months, but will continue development of the Dia browser.

"That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community," says the company.
