Memorex’s popular TravelDrive portable storage device line got a new member today as the company announced the Mini TravelDrive. What makes this drive standout, Memorex says, is that it is up to an inch shorter than its siblings while offering the same up to 2GB of storage.

The Mini TravelDrive measures 2.25” x .85” x .33” and features such things as a blue LED status indicator, reinforced aluminum lanyard loop with lanyard and an “ergonomic” gripping area. It comes in a metallic platinum finish and is available in 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB sizes. It is expected to be available this September.

On board the Mini TravelDrive has special security software which allows the flash drive’s owner to set passwords to prevent access to files.

“Consumer demand for USB flash drives is three times greater than just one year ago,” said Allen H. Gharapetian, vice president of marketing and product development for Memorex. “We designed the Mini TravelDrive to appeal to style-conscious users who demand a sleek look, maximum portability, and high performance from their high-tech gear. The Mini delivers all of the features today’s users demand from a USB flash drive, in a slim, small design that’s perfect for when space is critical, and fashion and design are top of mind.”

Uniform ships Odyssey by Grok

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

Windows 11 could get a serious performance boost, but there’s a catch
Microsoft is working on a new Windows 11 feature that could make compatible PCs faster and more efficient.

Who wouldn't want their Windows PC to run faster without spending money on new hardware? Well, Microsoft appears to be working on something that could improve performance and efficiency on future PCs. However, before you get too excited, there's an important catch.

Windows Insider Xeno recently spotted a new setting, Advanced Performance Extensions (APX), in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 29695. Microsoft is currently testing the feature in its experimental development channel, and it could eventually help compatible processors handle demanding tasks more efficiently. The setting lets Windows take advantage of Intel's APX technology, but it requires a system restart after you enable it. While that might sound like another ordinary Windows toggle, what happens behind the scenes is much more interesting.

When I attended Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit a couple of weeks ago, I kept coming back to one question: What does Windows on Arm need to become a mainstream alternative to traditional Windows laptops? Qualcomm has spent years making Arm-based Windows PCs faster, more capable, and increasingly difficult to dismiss. But, you see, good hardware can only do so much when software compatibility, gaming support, and developer interest still need work, right?

Then I spent time with NVIDIA’s RTX Spark, and my first reaction was that Qualcomm might have a problem.
