Lenovo is known for making some of the best laptops for business use. In nearly any office or classroom, you are bound to see multiple versions of the iconic Lenovo ThinkPad, and one of our own personal favorites from 2022 is the ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1. In particular, we really appreciated the lightweight ultrabook form factor and pleasant design paired with the powerful AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors.

Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers, thanks partly to its tabs. Chrome's simplicity and efficiency also make it the go-to web browser for millions of people. Using tabs makes it easier to navigate between multiple websites. However, these tabs can often become disorganized, making switching between them difficult.

The design of the device appears visually similar to its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, though the Alert Slider — a fan-favorite feature that allows users to easily switch between mute, vibrate, and ringer sound profiles — is now located on the left-hand side of the phone instead of the right.According to OnePlus, the relocation was made to accommodate a new integrated antenna that’s designed to boost signal performance and reduce latency for game streaming. “Based on internal testing, it has been determined that the...

Virtual machines (VM) are a godsend if you want to run multiple operating systems on your battlestation of a PC without modifying the boot settings. But just like all other technology, VMs have their limitations, and their inability to make the most of the host hardware is their biggest disadvantage. This issue is even more apparent in the case of virtual machines running on Type-2 hypervisors like VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation, as they have limited access to the system resources.

Illustration by Aaron Fernandez for The Verge The Monday after a long holiday weekend is no fun, unless you like to save money. If you missed out on all the great Black Friday deals, Cyber Monday offers one more chance to save some serious cash before the holidays. You can still, for example, score significant discounts on a number of popular gifts, ranging from Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and Amazon’s Echo Pop to the Sonos Roam and Kindle Paperwhite.

And not all the deals are Black Friday leftovers, either; other gadgets are even cheaper now, like the second-gen Apple Pencil, Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, and Nanoleaf Shapes... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge If it feels like every streaming service received a price hike this year, it’s probably because most of them have. Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Discovery Plus, and Disney Plus are just a few recent examples, though there are still ways to weather the price increases. Cyber Monday continues many of the deals from the Black Friday weekend, including ways to save on your monthly streaming bill. In fact, some streaming services are offering deals that offset their recent price hikes — well, at least temporarily. Paramount Plus, for example, might have raised the price of its cheapest plan to $5.99 a month, but at the moment, it starts at just $1.99. What’s even better is that both new and returning subscribers are eligible for the deal, which... Continue reading…

It's common for retailers to offer gift cards for later purchases rather than a flat discount during the lead-up to the holiday season. Dell has a lot of great deals around the holidays, and many shoppers are enticed by its gift card offers. However, it's vital to read the fine print before jumping on one of these deals. Unfortunately, there are a lot of downsides to these popular gift card offers, and it may be better to check other retailers for comparable deals or just go with one of Dell's regular promotional deals.

AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D caused a ruckus when it first came out, instantly becoming one of the best gaming CPUs on the market. That's because of AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, which adds extra L3 cache to the processor, reducing the number of times the chip needs to communicate with RAM. That translates into higher game frame rates, even with lower clock speeds. With a 105W TDP, the 5800X3D can be cooled by a wide variety of CPU coolers, and I've rounded up some of my favorites to choose from.

Cyber Monday is finally here, unlocking amazing, limited-time deals from our favorite retailers. For many of us, this is the best time of year to finally upgrade our work from home setups with new monitors and other peripherals.
