iBuypower has rolled out a new edition of its Battalion 101 CZ-10 gaming notebook, and along with all the bells and whistles one might expect on a portable system that’s mainly designed to let user frag their friends and enemies, the CZ-10 Premium Edition features something new: accident protection. The Premium edition will be the first notebook in iBuypower’s lineup to insure against damage from accidental spills and tumbles.

“We felt it was time to refresh our mainstream gaming notebook line,” said iBuypower VP Darren Su, in a statement. “We are excited by the features and exceptional coverage we are able to offer with the CZ-10 Premium at a very competitive price.”

The Accidental Damage Protection plan applies to the original buyer of the notebook and can’t be transferred, but covers damage from spills, drops, electrical surges, and fire; coverage includes the system’s CPU, memory, hard drive, keyboard, LCD, and other parts. Users are responsible for backing up their own data and shipping the notebook to a service center, but iBuyPower covers everything else, including return shipping.

The CZ-10 Premium Notebook features a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of DDR3 RAM (supports up to 4 GB), and a 15.6-inch 1,366 by 768-pixel WXGA display powered by an ATI RAdeon 4650 graphics controller with 512 MB of video RAM. The system also sports a 2 megapixel Webcam, a 3-in-1 card reader,fingerprint scanner, a 6-cell battery, a 500 GB hard drive, and an 8× DVD±RW DVD burner.

The Battalion 101 CZ-10 Premium Gaming Notebook is available now at the iBuypower site, with pricing starting at $1,235.

Apple is redesigning the iMac. Here’s what it must get right

An Apple iMac running business software.

Apple’s iMac has recently been back in the limelight after a long absence. Not only are we expecting a wide-ranging redesign later this year, but noted leaker Jon Prosser recently claimed Apple is working on multiple new colors for the computer. Aesthetic changes aside, there is one area where the iMac needs a serious overhaul: Its mouse and keyboard. Here is everything we want to see in the iMac’s key peripherals.
A dedicated Touch ID button

These days, a crucial element of almost any Apple device is secure authentication. The iPhone has Face ID, MacBooks have Touch ID on their keyboards, and yet, the iMac has nothing at all. It is stuck in the past, and it really shows.

Prime Day arrives early for the shiny new Apple iPad 10.2 (2020)

iPad (2020)

Officially, Prime Day 2020 doesn’t land until October 13, but Amazon is famous for priming us for the big day by leaking out some awesome preview sales as it approaches. Some evidence dropped this morning, with the price of the iPad 10.2 on Amazon, at $30 off. That means you can get a new eighth-generation iPad 10.2 for $300, down from its original price of $330. Apple products never last long once they’ve been discounted, so if you’re in the market for an iPad, ump on this opportunity to grab the latest.

Whether you’re updating an older iPad, looking to sidestep from a laptop to an iPad for your home/work balance, or just finally want to get your hands on the best tablet out there, the iPad 10.2 has a ton to offer. What the iPad 10.2 doesn’t have in storage space (less relevant than ever due to the constant availability of Wi-Fi and access to the cloud) it makes up for in amazing features and design. At the same time, accessories for the iPad -- like the Smart Keyboard and Apple pencil -- have made it so that, functionally, your tablet can serve as a laptop, and more, at a moment’s notice. It’s something really important to keep in mind while browsing the iPad Deals we’ve collected. A tablet might take care of all your computing needs.
