Neo vs M1 Air: The budget MacBook showdown with an iPhone chip

Neo (2026) uses the A18 Pro from the iPhone 16 Pro, with 8GB RAM and 256/512GB storage, starting at $599; it delivers roughly similar single-core performance to the M1 MacBook Air but weaker multi-core/GPU, a 1080p webcam, 36.5Wh battery, and two USB-C ports (one USB 3, one USB 2) with brighter 500-nit display. The M1 Air (2020) offers up to 16GB RAM and up to 2TB storage, two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports, a larger 49.9Wh battery, and a 720p webcam, originally priced at $999. Verdict: Neo is a cheaper option that sacrifices memory, ports, and longevity for a lower price; if you need more storage and battery life, consider the Air or a refurbished model.

One Premium Watch vs. a Budget-Timepiece Armory: The $4,550 Showdown

WIRED tests whether spending $4,550 on a single versatile “GADA” watch (the Tudor Black Bay GMT) yields more utility than assembling an equal-value collection of affordable timepieces (Baltic Aquascaphe, Dennison Midnight Aventurine, Hamilton Khaki Field Murph, Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer, Brew Super Metric). The five-watch lineup totals about $4,380, leaving room for a case and extra straps, and highlights the trade-offs between a single luxe piece and a diversified budget ensemble for daily wear, travel, and style.

Skip the S25: The S24 Ultra Delivers Flagship Power for Much Less

The Galaxy S25 Ultra commands a $1,300 price tag, but the S24 Ultra remains a strong flagship option at new around $950 or used around $544. In real-world use, both phones share nearly identical displays, cameras, batteries, and S Pen features, with the S25 only offering a modest processor upgrade that’s unlikely to be noticed day-to-day. Software support is slightly better for the S25, but Samsung commits seven years of updates for the S24 as well. With the S26 on the horizon and price drops expected on the S25, buying a used or newer S24 Ultra offers major savings without meaningful sacrifices.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold and Z Fold 7: A Comparative Review and Market Impact

Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold, a new foldable phone with a three-panel design, builds upon the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with differences in size, price, and hinge design. It features a larger 10-inch internal display, a heavier weight, and a higher starting price, aiming to offer a more tablet-like experience that is still pocketable. Both devices share similar camera setups, performance, and water resistance ratings, but the TriFold's unique tri-panel foldable design and larger screen make it suitable for multitasking and media consumption, positioning it as a versatile, productivity-focused device.
