Add as a preferred source on Google

If you want to maximize your productivity after buying from MacBook deals or a Mac computer, or if you want to use your purchase from iPad deals as a laptop, then you should consider buying two of Apple’s most popular accessories — the Apple Magic Mouse and the Apple Magic Trackpad. Like most Apple devices, they don’t come cheap, but fortunately, they’re currently on sale from Amazon. The Apple Magic Mouse, originally $79, is down to $68 for $11 in savings, and the Apple Magic Trackpad, originally, $129, is down to $110 for $19 in savings. The discounts may not look like much, but you might as well take advantage of them if you’re going to buy these accessories anyway.

The wireless and rechargeable Apple Magic Mouse is in our list of the best mouse for Mac as Apple’s premier mouse, which isn’t a surprise considering Apple itself designed it. Like most Apple devices, the accessory features a premium-looking design and superb build quality, and it supports swipe gestures because its Multi-Touch surface essentially functions as a built-in trackpad. It will also glide smoothly across your desk with the help of its optimized foot design. It lasts for more than a month between charges, and it comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable for charging purposes. The Apple Magic Mouse is compatible with all MacBooks and Mac computers running on macOS X 10.11 or later, and all iPads that are powered by iPadOS 13.4 or later.

Apple Magic Trackpad — $110, was $129

The Apple Magic Trackpad is also in our roundup of the best mouse for Mac, though it’s technically not a mouse. It’s an excellent pointing device though, continuing Apple’s reputation of amazing trackpads in its MacBooks. It will allow you to use all the gestures from a MacBook with your Mac computer or iPad, or even with another MacBook if you want to do the swiping further away from the laptop’s screen. It’s also wireless and rechargeable, with a battery that can last for seven weeks before you need to use the included USB-C to Lightning cable to recharge it. The Apple Magic Trackpad is compatible with MacBooks and Mac computers running on macOS X 10.11 or later, and all iPad models with iPadOS 13.4 or later.

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.

Shopping for Back-to-school? These are the gaming laptops I’d recommend
Powerful enough for AAA games, practical enough for everyday lectures, assignments, and everything in between.

Every gamer knows the pain of trying to do too much with the wrong hardware. Back-to-School is the perfect excuse to fix that. A good gaming laptop shouldn’t just hit high frame rates -- it should also survive endless browser tabs, assignments, coding sessions, video edits, and everything else college throws at it. These five machines strike that balance better than most, which is exactly why they’d be my picks this semester.

Google’s AI just recreated the best goal ever by Pele that was never actually filmed

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI.
