Adobe's All Apps subscription sounds like a dream for creatives — access to Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, After Effects, and more in one bundle. But do you really need all of these programs?

You can boast all you want about how good of a gamer you are, but unless you have the trophies to back them up, no one is going to believe you. Even with the skills, some PlayStation trophies are absolutely brutal to earn.

While Obsidian hits a home run with graph views and canvas, its Markdown approach and plugin ecosystem aren’t ideal for everyone. If you're tired of wrestling with Obsidian’s complexities and looking for a private and easy-to-use alternative, Notesnook might just be the tool you need. With a familiar toolbar, excellent cross-platform availability, reminders support, and a private vault, Notesnook ticks all the right boxes.

A common trend across all types of art, video games included, is that creating something where you need to navigate strict limitations can often lead to more creative and better solutions. Often, those limitations don't come from something an artist or creator imposed on themselves. It usually comes down to not having the time, the money, or, in the case of video games, the technology, to truly bring someone's vision to life.

Lenovo has a habit of bringing some of the coolest gadgets, concepts, and innovations to every tech event it attends. For instance, the company left many speechless with its ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop concept at MWC 2024. Now, Lenovo is back at MWC 2025, taking the stage with its latest lineup of devices, including new Yoga and IdeaPad laptops.

Adobe Acrobat has long been the go-to software for PDF editing, offering a wide range of tools for working with text, images, and interactive elements. However, the high subscription cost and the software’s proprietary nature can make it less appealing for those seeking a cost-effective solution. Fortunately, Inkscape, a free and open-source graphics editor, can edit PDFs and has impressive features.

VLC Media Player has long been the go-to alternative for Windows Media Player on PCs. In fact, it used to be one of the first few apps I installed as soon as I set up a new computer. Over time, though, the same old design has gotten stale, and several alternatives have popped up that offer a fresh look along with a bunch of useful features. That's when I decided to explore the world of free and open-source media players that could give VLC a run for its money. Thankfully, it didn't take me long to encounter some awesome apps that rival VLC and even beat it in some ways.

MWC is in full swing, and a wave of new mobile devices is announced. Lenovo is no different, as it has turned up full force with a slew of gadgets for those who like to work on the go. This year, it's showing off new ThinkPads and ThinkBooks, both for people who want something flashy and someone who wants to keep things simple.

With endless tasks, deadlines, and resources to track, project management can feel overwhelming. While flashy platforms promise seamless collaboration, visualization, and automation, they are not for everyone. What if the solution was already on your computer? Yes, I’m talking about Microsoft Excel.

There are some games you'll have heard of, because everyone and their mother bought a copy. Other games, you'll know because you can't go five minutes without hearing it referenced as a game that influenced a developer you like. Sometimes, both are true for the same game, but that's more often the exception to the rule.

It just wouldn't be a tech show without some concepts from Lenovo. For MWC, there are three, and they're all pretty cool in their own right. Specifically, the company's got the Yoga Solar PC, ThinkBook Flip, and a new Dual Display attachment for ThinkBooks.

As PC gamers or enthusiasts in general, worrying about CPU cooling comes with the territory. No one likes abnormally high CPU temperatures, and certainly not without any reason. Even after choosing a high airflow case, AIO liquid cooler, and optimizing fan curves, your CPU temps might be a tad too high for your taste. I would suggest, however, not worrying too much about it.
