Design At 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 inches, and weighing 13.3 ounces, the all-black XLink BT is small, light, and unobtrusive. Three buttons backlit in blue are on the top, indicating the connection status of any paired cell phones. A blinking blue light means that a cell phone isn’t paired, and a solid blue light indicates a steady connection. On another side are connections for power, a USB port, and a jack for plugging in your cordless phone....

One standout deal we love is the Samsung S33A Series 24-inch Monitor for just $99 (opens in new tab). It normally costs $169, so that’s $70 in savings and sets a new all-time low price for this 1080p display. In fact, it’s one of the best Black Friday monitor deals we could find. Samsung (opens in new tab) has it for the same price. This 1080p monitor has a wide viewing angle and 3000:1 contrast ratio which affords you a clear, vivid display the whole way around....

Think of the OneNote application as the box you may have used to organize all of your notebooks in high school or college. Inside that box, you can create individual notebooks for each collection of information you want to keep. Using that school metaphor, you could create one notebook for biology, another one for math, a notebook for English, and so on. OneNote’s Notebooks contain sections, so in that biology notebook, you could have one section for lecture notes and another for labs....

Those of us with oily hands will want to keep a cloth around, as the laptop tends to pick up any excess residue....

Design There’s nothing particularly radical about the Acer Spin 3’s design. It’s light but far from a featherweight; thin, but not quite an Ultrabook; and portable, but not as compact as pricier devices with edge-to-edge displays. But there are a few design aspects worth pointing out. While its all-plastic build feels cheap, the Spin 3’s gunmetal silver and subtle crosshatched chassis looks classy. Additionally, the bottom has a pleasant soft-touch finish....

This year, it has been limited to only the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. But to paraphrase the title of one of my favorite British rom-coms, Apple likes to “give it a year” before bringing (some of) its latest features to every phone the company makes. Welcoming everyone to Dynamic Island You’ve all seen it by now, but to help anyone who hasn’t caught up, Dynamic Island is a new pill cut-out, which replaces the notch seen on other iPhones....
