If you’re in the UK and you’ve been salivating over the specs of the two new Asus Eee laptops, the 901 and the 1000, you won’t have long to wait before you can own one. The company has announced that they will both go on sale in Britain on July 1.

Both will be available with either Linux or Windows OS, and upgraded six-cell battery, and 1GB of RAM. The Windows 901 will have 12GB solid-state storage, the Linux model 20GB. Move up to the Eee 1000 and the Windows version has an 80GB hard drive, but 40GB for Linux. There will be 20GB free, encrypted online storage for both models.

The Eee 901 will retail at £319 (about $620), which is a little cheaper than the 900 on its release. Asus hasn’t released a price for the Eee 1000 yet.

Ollama brings free, local text-to-speech to your Mac with natural-sounding AI voices

Ollama's new Phonon integration brings natural-sounding AI voices to your Mac, letting you generate speech locally without relying on cloud services or a subscription.

Speech-to-text apps have flooded the App Store, making it easier than ever to type on our Macs with just our voice. I have previously covered one such app called TypeWhisper. However, there has been a dearth of good text-to-speech models, and most of the good ones are locked behind a subscription.

Ollama, an open-source app that lets you run local AI models on your computer, wants to change that. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and your prompts are never stored or used for training.

Researchers develop a new forensic tool that can recover deleted AI chats from your phone’s memory

Pressing delete on your AI chat doesn’t mean it’s actually gone. ORISA can recover deleted conversations from your local AI apps.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” October 28 event: Everything we expect from touchscreen MacBooks to a new iMac

Prepare for a touchscreen MacBook that costs around $3,000.

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
