The Alienware Aurora R16 is a serious contender for gamers and power users alike, and during Dell Tech Days, it’s on sale for $1,999.99 – a $210 discount off its regular price ($2,209.99). Our Digital Trends team had hands-on time with this beast (read the Aurora R16 review) and was impressed with its smaller form factor compared to previous versions, cool and quiet operation, and configurability to suit different performance needs. If you’re looking for a gaming rig that balances power and efficiency, this is a good pick.

Not every upgrade needs to be about raw power, though, sometimes it’s about visuals. The Dell 27 4K UHD Monitor (S2721QS) is discounted to $199.99 (down from $279.99, saving you $80). Our product testers gave this 4K monitor (read the Dell S2721QS review) solid marks because of its accurate colors, crisp resolution, and excellent build quality. This is a great deal to go for if you need a solid 4K display for work, gaming, or content creation.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

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.
