Fujitsu is hoping to add a splash of color to notebook computer users’ lives by introducing three colorful new lids that snap onto its budget-friendly LifeBook A1110 computers. Fujitsu says the A1110 is the only computer currently on the market that ships with interchangeable lid covers, and now users can switch up their computer’s look for $19.95 per cover.

The three new covers are a green labyrith design that recalls “mod” art from the 1960s, a pink lid with butterflies, and a blue Victorian-esque print pattern.

Amazon unveils Echo Show 16 with Fire TV, Alexa+ and an anti-glare display

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.

M6 iMac vs. M4 iMac: Skipping the M5 made a bigger difference than I expected

Same pretty aluminum shell. Much stronger M6 heart.

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.

Gemini Notebook can now record lectures and meetings without the upload shuffle

The mobile app lets you capture up to an hour of live audio and immediately use it as a notebook source

Gemini Notebook’s mobile app now has a built-in recorder for capturing lectures and meetings as sources. You can record directly where you’ll use the material, skipping the separate recording app and the file upload afterward.

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.
