Framework announces Laptop 13 Pro, ‘the MacBook Pro for Linux users’

Every time we review a Framework laptop, we find familiar pros and cons. They’re truly upgradable, incredibly repairable, but we always wish the battery lasted longer. We always wish the build quality were top notch. Today, Framework is announcing what could be the answer: the Framework Laptop 13 Pro. I just tried it at Framework’s […]

Framework is building a better couch keyboard because everyone hates the Logitech one
Framework is building a better couch keyboard because everyone hates the Logitech one

If you have a wireless keyboard with a touchpad that lets you control your PC from across the room, chances are it’s a Logitech K400. Framework CEO Nirav Patel is betting that you hate using it – enough to buy Framework’s spin on the idea when it arrives later this year. He says that Logitech’s […]

The AirPods are Tim Cook’s most underrated achievement
The AirPods are Tim Cook’s most underrated achievement

Apple Silicon chips. The iPhone’s dominance. Apple Vision Pro. During Tim Cook’s 15-year tenure as Apple CEO there were highs – and in the case of the Vision Pro, maybe a low – that helped define Apple as one of the most dominant forces in tech even without Steve Jobs.

The Mac is in good hands in Apple’s post-Cook era

The Mac reached a series of low points in the Tim Cook era: the fiasco of the butterfly keyboard, the clunky transition to USB-C, the underutilized potential of the Touch Bar, and the occasionally lackluster Intel chip performance. For a while, it seemed like Apple had shifted all of its attention, innovation, and care toward […]

Wearable health tech might be Tim Cook’s greatest legacy 
Wearable health tech might be Tim Cook’s greatest legacy 

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Granted, 19th-century proverb writers were talking about the fruit, but Tim Cook helped give new meaning to the adage with the release of the very first Apple Watch.
