When we reviewed the seventh-generation Apple iPad, we found that it is one of the top options for buyers on a budget. This newly released tablet quickly made it to the top of its class thanks to the new iPadOS. This well-designed operating system can transform the iPad into an affordable entry-level 2-in-1.

The iPadOS offers several improvements to the Apple iPad. This update brings the ability to use multiple apps in the Slide Over menu. It also enhances the Split View, allowing users to have multiple windows of the same app open. Another welcome feature is the desktop-grade Safari. These features integrated well into our workflow, which relies on WordPress. We were actually able to write the review for the new iPad using the new iPad, so we can vouch for this tablet’s ability to stand in for your laptop.

With a bigger 10.2-inch screen, the latest iPad offers more space for multitasking. Apple also updated it to be compatible with the Smart Keyboard. But we recommend a third-party keyboard if you want a more comfortable portable workstation.

If you are on the market for a reasonably priced tablet that you can use for productivity tasks and entertainment, the seventh-generation Apple iPad is one of your best options. This tablet is durable and will receive support from Apple for many years. And with these iPad deals from Walmart and Amazon, you can take home this iPadOS device for $10 below its normal $329. Order yours now from these retail stores to save on the newest tablet from Apple.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100
This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.
