Are foldables finally ready to reach their potential?
Why Upgrading a Gaming PC Right Now is Almost Pointless
What if you want to upgrade an existing gaming PC? What are the options, and do they make sense? The big problem is that current-gen AMD and Nvidia GPUs don't move the needle forward.
Why Building a Gaming PC Right Now Might Be a Good Idea!
There's been some negativity towards new PC gaming hardware as of late, but instead of focusing on the bad, let's see why building a new gaming PC right now could be a good idea, particularly for those in need of a fresh setup.

Marketing a CPU in a multi-polar world
There are no easy answers in this very complex, rapidly moving environment, but there is some hope
I got to play with the Apple Vision Pro and saw the future of computing. Again.
Editor's take: I was one of the lucky few who got to attend Apple's WWDC keynote presentation in person, and also got to try the new Apple Vision Pro headset for a 25-minute hands-on, er, heads-on demo. The experience was very good – as it certainly should be for a product that's going to cost a whopping $3,499 – but it was also a bit more similar to other devices I've tried over the years than I initially expected it to be.

Is Nvidia now a software stock? The competitive advantage of CUDA
The big picture: The world has gone mad for AI. Setting aside what the latest AI models are actually good for, it is not surprising that investors are looking for stocks with "AI exposure." Unfortunately, this turns out to be a fairly short list at the moment, and at the top of that list is Nvidia.
IBM unleashes new AI strategy with "watsonx"
The first version of IBM Watson was unveiled in 2011 when it competed on TV quiz show Jeopardy!
Opinion: Everybody wants to software
In context: For years, hardware makers have observed the attention and valuation multiples enjoyed by software companies with envy. Employees at hardware companies have also longed for the fancy perks their peers receive at software companies, while their hardware teams are fortunate to even have coffee at work. Software may be eating the world, but does that mean only software companies get foosball tables at work?

How to sell a CPU
Editor's take: Much of the focus in semiconductors is on chip performance, and so for many outside the process it can be mystifying why sometimes a "better" chip loses out to a "weaker" chip. To name just one example, Intel still sells a lot of server CPUs despite their poor comparison with the latest AMD or Arm offerings.
