CTS-Labs, an Israeli security firm, gave AMD just one day’s notice prior to issuing a white paper and putting up a website detailing a series of vulnerabilities in AMD chips. That raised questions about the ethics of the researchers, compounded by the researchers’ disclaimer that they may have had financial interests in the performance of AMD stock. However, other security experts confirmed that the AMD flaws, while a low risk to most users, were indeed real....

This is especially true when using the Soundcore Motion Boom’s ability to sync up with the same model and play sound from multiple speakers at once. When one is placed at each side of my TV, it makes for an engaging aural experience. Given its $110 price tag, purchasing two of these can get customers a solid makeshift surround sound system for a little over $200. And even without a second one, the audio is still loud, bassy and crisp....

But hiding behind those captivating good looks is the company’s powerful H1 chips, nine microphones, 40mm drivers and a gaggle of sensors. It doesn’t look like much on paper, but when you actually give them a listen, you have robust, warm audio with active noise cancelling that rivals heavy hitters in the space. And while I’m not the biggest fan of Apple’s solution for power management, it’s a small quibble in the grand scheme of things....

This iPad Pro is not as ideal as a laptop replacement, but it is the best tablet money can buy. Design When it comes to portability, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro definitely leads the field. At 9.4 x 6.6 x 0.24 inches, this slate is smaller than all of its professional-level tablet competitors, including the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (11.5 x 7.9 x 0.33 inches) and the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S (11....

Apple Watch 7 got a couple of notable design improvements, but it remained pretty complacent with its features. Fitbit Sense might be able to capitalize on this as it offers a similarly robust collection of health and fitness tracking sensors and comes in at a more affordable price point.

We’ve been tracking Apple deals all season and this is one the best we’ve seen. Apple’s 2nd generation Apple Watch SE runs on the same S8 chip as the Watch Series 8. Besides offering up to 20% faster performance than its predecessor, it features fall detection, emergency SOS, and crash detection. The Apple Watch SE 2 retains the same 50-meter water resistance, built-in compass, and an always-on altimeter as the 1st generation model....

However, with the current inflated prices for GPUs, it might be worth asking: Is an enclosure worth it when you’re using a budget-oriented graphics card? And if your laptop is also on the lower end of the pricing tier, you also need to worry about the bandwidth of the USB Type-C port. Theoretically, all you need to connect an external GPU is a Thunderbolt-enabled USB Type-C connection. But not every Thunderbolt-enabled port has the same bandwidth....
