If you’ve been waiting to try Dia browser on your Windows device, the wait is almost over. The Browser Company has announced that its AI-first browser will arrive on Windows this fall.

While there’s no exact release date yet, interested users can already sign up for the beta waitlist. It is the first official timeline for the Windows version after Dia spent months as a macOS-only browser.

Why has Dia browser attracted so much attention?

Dia launched on macOS last year as the successor to Arc, the browser that earned a loyal following for rethinking how people browse the web. Built on Chromium, the same engine behind Chrome and Edge, Dia makes AI part of the browsing experience itself.

It can understand what’s happening across your open tabs, summarize information, answer questions using your browsing context, compare products across multiple pages, and pull background context on an article without you opening a single new tab.

Users have praised its clean design and the way its AI feels integrated into everyday browsing. This is why many Windows users have been waiting for the browser to expand beyond Apple’s ecosystem.

What can Windows users expect at launch?

For now, Dia browser is only promising a Windows beta this fall, and the company has not shared which features will be available at launch. Anyone interested can register through the official waitlist to get access once invitations start rolling out.

Dia currently offers a freemium model with capped free AI usage, and a Pro tier at $20/month for unlimited access. Whether Windows launches with the same structure remains unclear. It’s also worth keeping expectations in check since experts have flagged real concerns about AI browsers like Dia, particularly around privacy and data handling.

Still, if the Windows version delivers the same experience that made the macOS release so popular, it could give other AI-powered browsers a serious competitor on Windows before the year ends.

A bigger screen, smarter Alexa, and a wallet-sized dilemma.

Smart displays have promised to run my entire house for years. However, I mostly end up using them as fancy kitchen timers or home security monitors. Amazon’s newest one wants to change my mind, and it comes with a serious price tag.

The company just unveiled the Echo Show 16. It is a 16-inch smart display that isn’t just a kitchen timer but a small TV, thanks to built-in Fire TV. The baseline version costs $499.99, and the anti-glare version costs $569.99. Pre-orders get $100 off; the device ships late this year.

After five years with Apple silicon, from the original M1 MacBook Air to the M5 MacBook Air released earlier this year, I've watched these chips mature not just on the spec sheet, but in real-world workflows and overall efficiency.

The new M6 chip might sound like a routine generational upgrade, but it's the company's first chip built on a 2nm manufacturing process, which brings meaningful improvements over previous Apple chips.

Google announced the feature on X, highlighting classroom lectures and team meetings as potential uses. It also works for capturing your own thoughts, so you can talk through an idea and bring that explanation into your notebook while it’s still fresh.
