If you want extra storage space to go along with your purchase from desktop computer deals, you should be looking for SSD deals, but if you need additional capacity for smartphones and other mobile devices, then you’ll want to buy a microSD card. One of the leading brands for microSD cards is Samsung, so you shouldn’t pass up on Crutchfield’s discount for the 256GB version of the Samsung EVO Plus microSDXC. The retailer has slashed the price of the memory card by $40, making it more affordable at just $60 compared to its original price of $100.

SDXC, which stands for Secure Digital Extended Capacity, offers larger capacities than SDHC, which stands for Secure Digital High Capacity, according to Digital Trends’ guide on how to choose the best microSD cards. However, not only does this version of the Samsung EVO Plus microSDXC provide 256GB of extra storage, it also comes with a UHS Speed Class 3 rating, with data transfer speeds of 100 Mbps for reading and 90 Mbps for writing. If you’re planning to buy a memory card for your Nintendo Switch, the Samsung EVO Plus microSDXC is fast enough, as our guide on how to choose a microSD card for the Nintendo Switch recommends at least a UHS Speed Class 1 rating and a transfer speed of between 60 Mbps and 95 Mbps.

Your data is protected with the Samsung EVO Plus microSDXC, as the memory card is waterproof, X-ray proof, and magnet-proof. In addition, it can handle temperatures ranging from negative 13 degrees Fahrenheit to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Every purchase also comes with a full-size SD card adapter, in case you want to use it for devices that require the larger type of memory card.

You will always need more space to fit all your apps, games, photos, videos, and other files in your mobile device, so even if you don’t need the extra storage right now, you should probably take advantage of Crutchfield’s offer for the Samsung EVO Plus microSDXC. The 256GB version of the memory card is available from the retailer for just $60, after a $40 discount from its original price of $100. There’s no telling how long the deal will last though, so you shouldn’t be wasting time. Get the Samsung EVO Plus microSDXC with 256GB capacity for nearly half its usual price by clicking that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

Intel’s next laptop chips could make choosing a processor even more confusing

Intel reportedly has two new laptop processor families coming in 2027, but they're designed for very different kinds of PCs.

Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU inside Lenovo Legion Laptop

If you've tried buying a Windows laptop recently, you've probably noticed just how confusing processor names have become. Between different Intel Core and Core Ultra chips, figuring out which one is actually newer or faster isn't always straightforward. And judging by the latest leaks, things might get even more complicated next year.

Intel is reportedly preparing two new laptop processor families for 2027, called Moon Lake and Wildcat Lake Refresh. According to hardware leaker Jaykihn, Wildcat Lake Refresh could arrive in the second quarter of 2027, while Moon Lake is expected to follow sometime in the fourth quarter. Interestingly, despite launching later, Moon Lake might not necessarily be the more powerful option. That's because Intel appears to be designing these processors for two very different types of laptops.

Google is finally fixing Google Chrome’s cluttered three-dot menu with a handy search feature

Chrome's upcoming search feature lets you find settings, bookmarks, and browser commands with just a few keystrokes.

I use Chrome a lot, but I have never enjoyed opening its three-dot menu. Every time I need a specific setting, I end up clicking through submenus and squinting at long lists of options. The good news is that Google is fixing this, and the latest Chrome Canary build gives us a working preview.

Leopeva64 posted a demo on X of the search box inside Chrome’s redesigned menu. In earlier builds, the box was there but did nothing when you typed in it. That’s no longer the case. Type a few letters, and Chrome now pulls up matching browser commands, bookmarks, and websites you visited recently.
