How to Choose a Monitor if You’re Shopping on Prime Day

When choosing a monitor on Prime Day, you’ll want to consider your primary purpose for the monitor. Will it be for general personal use, gaming, or work?

Larger screens provide more space for multitasking while working, while higher resolution like QHD or 4K will provide sharper text ideal for design work. If you’re primarily working with documents, emailing, or browsing the web, a full HD monitor will likely be sufficient.

Gaming monitors often come with higher refresh rates to help you keep on top of play, and AMD FreeSync technology to prevent tearing while in the game. Look for features like blue light reduction and anti-glare to help prevent eye fatigue, and make sure that you have the appropriate adapters for the connection type (HDMI, USB-C, or DisplayPort).

Finally, consider the discount amount and final price since Prime Day is the perfect time to find a quality monitor at a value price.

Apple is testing Chinese DRAM even after CXMT refused to cut prices
Apple may be testing CXMT memory for iPhones and MacBooks
iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple’s search for more memory supply has taken another step forward. The company is now testing DRAM from Chinese manufacturer CXMT across several products, including iPhones and MacBooks, according to The Wall Street Journal. Apple has also held early talks with CXMT about supplying memory for some devices sold in China and is seeking support from the US government before moving ahead.

The timing is particularly interesting. Just recently, we learned that a shortage of DRAM could already be holding up production of the A20 Pro chip expected inside the iPhone 18 Pro. TSMC is said to have around $1 billion worth of finished chips waiting for memory before packaging can continue.

Apple just patched a Mac security flaw. You should probably update today
Your Mac has one less security problem to worry about
MacBook Air M5

Apple has released a set of security updates for macOS that fix a vulnerability in Screen Sharing, its built-in remote-access feature. The flaw could allow an attacker on the same network to bypass authentication and gain access to Screen Sharing without valid credentials.

The issue is tracked as CVE-2026-65400 and affects multiple versions of macOS. Apple has released macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, macOS Sequoia 15.7.9, and macOS Sonoma 14.8.9, all addressing the same vulnerability.

I upgraded from the M1 MacBook Air to the M5, and here’s what changed for me
The M5 changed more about my workflow than I expected.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

After about four years with the M1 MacBook Air, I finally pulled the trigger on the M5, and I got there just in time to dodge Apple's recent price hike by eleven days, a story I already told elsewhere, and one that still makes me feel unreasonably smug. Upgrading from the M1 was a multi-generational leap for me, not in the ways mentioned on the spec sheet, but in ways that actually changed how I work every day.

Here’s why that matters in 2026, when the memory crisis has hit the consumer electronics market so badly that even giants like Apple had to cave. MacBook Air M5 launched at $1,099, then climbed to $1,299.
