Apple TV 4K 4th Gen Launches Oct 13 with A19 Chip and Wi-Fi 7

Apple is set to unveil the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K on October 13, 2026, during its 'Welcome home' launch event. The new device, expected to ship on October 30, features an A19 or A19 Pro chip, 8GB to 12GB of RAM, and Apple's N1 wireless chip supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. This update enables on-device Siri AI capabilities and potentially supports a four-HomePod surround sound setup. The device retains its existing external design but includes a revised Siri Remote. Pricing in the U.S. has increased to $199, up from $129, due to memory costs.

WiCi One Debuts Wireless eGPU Using Wi-Fi 7 to Stream RTX 5090 Performance

California-based WiCi has launched the WiCi One, an external graphics processing unit (eGPU) that connects to laptops and tablets via Wi-Fi 7 rather than traditional cables like Thunderbolt or OCuLink. The device aims to provide desktop-class GPU power for gaming and local AI inference without physical tethering. Two models are planned: a base version with an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and a premium variant with an RTX 5090 32GB. While the base model is available for pre-order at $1,999, the higher-end version lacks a confirmed price. WiCi claims the system can run Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with 80 fps on the 5060 Ti and 110 fps on the 5090, though critics question the latency and bandwidth limitations of wireless connections for real-time gaming.

WiCi One Wireless eGPU Launches with RTX 5060 Ti for $1,999

California-based WiCi has introduced the WiCi One, a wireless external GPU (eGPU) enclosure that connects to host devices via Wi-Fi 7 rather than traditional cables like Thunderbolt or OCuLink. The base model features an Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU, an Intel Core 3 100U CPU, and 1TB of NVMe storage, with preorders starting at $1,999 and a standard price of $2,599. A more powerful variant with an RTX 5090 32GB and 4TB storage is planned but lacks a set price. WiCi markets the device for high-framerate gaming and local AI inference, claiming it can run Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K Ultra with DLSS 4 at 80 fps. However, critics question the practicality of Wi-Fi 7 for latency-sensitive gaming, noting that the 4x4 radio configuration may limit throughput to 11.5 Gbps, and suggest the device is better suited for non-latency-sensitive AI workloads. A developer preview is expected in Q4 2026.

WiCi One: A Wireless eGPU Using Wi-Fi 7 for Local AI and Gaming

California-based WiCi has launched the WiCi One, a wireless external GPU (eGPU) enclosure that connects to host devices via Wi-Fi 7 rather than traditional cables like Thunderbolt or OCuLink. The device features an NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti, an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, and 4TB of NVMe storage. While marketed for high-framerate gaming, WiCi emphasizes its utility for local AI inference and 3D rendering, where latency is less critical. The RTX 5060 Ti version is priced at $2,599, with an early sign-up rate of $1,999, while a more powerful RTX 5090 variant is planned but lacks a set price. A developer preview is expected in Q4 2026.

M5 Max Mac Studio: A Power Leap Over M1 Max With Thunderbolt 5 and AI Acceleration

M5 Max Mac Studio: A Power Leap Over M1 Max With Thunderbolt 5 and AI Acceleration

Apple's M5 Max Mac Studio is a major upgrade over the M1 Max, using an 18‑core CPU (12 performance cores and six 'super' cores) and 32‑ or 40‑core GPUs with Neural Accelerators and hardware‑accelerated ray tracing. It delivers significantly stronger performance across CPU, GPU, and AI workloads (Apple cites up to 2.2x GPU and up to sixfold AI improvements), aided by higher memory bandwidth (up to 614 GB/s), RDMA-enabled Thunderbolt 5, and Wi‑Fi 7. The chassis remains the same, but the new model starts at $2,499 and can reach $8,899 with upgrades, with memory/storage upgrades notably pricier than the M1 Max. It also supports clustering multiple units for AI tasks and can drive up to five displays. Overall, the M5 Max Mac Studio is a substantial jump in power and connectivity, making the M1 Max feel dated by comparison—worth it if you need the performance; otherwise, an older used M1 Max may be a bargain.

Mac Studio 2026: M5 Max and M5 Ultra Bring Bigger Cores, Faster Memory, and AI Acceleration

Mac Studio 2026: M5 Max and M5 Ultra Bring Bigger Cores, Faster Memory, and AI Acceleration

Apple’s 2026 Mac Studio refresh introduces the M5 Max and M5 Ultra, keeping the chassis but upgrading internals with an 18‑core CPU baseline on the M5 Max (expandable to 36 cores on the Ultra), faster GPUs up to 80 cores, higher memory bandwidth (up to 1.2TB/s on the Ultra), PCIe Gen 6 SSDs, and Wi‑Fi 7/Bluetooth 6 via the N1 chip. The 2025 models used the M4 Max and M3 Ultra and are now discontinued. Memory options have shifted (up to 128GB on the Max, up to 512GB on the Ultra, with some mid‑2026 withdrawals), and Neural Accelerators boost AI‑heavy tasks. Upgrades are most compelling for AI/ML and demanding graphics work; for many users, older stock or refurbished 2025 units may offer better value, while pre‑orders place all but the top configs on longer ship times.

Apple TV 4K Fall Refresh: A17 Pro, Wi‑Fi 7, and a Smarter Siri

Rumors point to a fall refresh of the Apple TV 4K, likely led by an A17 Pro chip, enhanced Apple Intelligence/Siri, faster wireless (Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread via an N1 chip), and a redesigned Siri Remote. Pricing remains unclear after recent hikes, with September/October cited for launch while the 2022 model stays on sale (and refurbished options are available).

Asus Dominates 2026 Readers’ Choice for Home Networking and NAS

PCMag’s 2026 Readers’ Choice survey crowns Asus as the top router brand and mesh system, with strong performance in Wi‑Fi 7 gear; Verizon leads among ISP-provided routers, and Netgear tops modem brands. In NAS, QNAP edges out Synology for overall satisfaction, though Synology remains strong in ease of use and RAID. The results suggest upgrading to modern routers/mesh systems or a NAS-based setup can significantly improve speed, coverage, and data storage for home networks.

Apple TV 4K 2026: A17 Pro Power, Wi‑Fi 7 and Siri AI Arrive

Rumors peg the 2026 Apple TV 4K with the same exterior but a new A‑series chip (likely A17 Pro) plus a RAM bump, hardware‑accelerated AV1 decoding, and Wi‑Fi 7 (N1) with Thread; Siri AI features tied to iOS 27 are delayed until September 2026, so smarter Siri may come later, possibly with a new Siri Remote; price is unlikely to drop after recent hikes, and the launch is expected around the iPhone rollout in September 2026.

Dell's XPS 13 Joins the $699 Club With Features MacBook Neo Can't Match

Dell unveils the XPS 13 starting at $699 ($599 for students), touting features it says the MacBook Neo lacks—touch screen, backlit keyboard, second USB-C port with 10 GB/s, Wi‑Fi 7, Windows Hello, and four speakers. The base model includes 8GB RAM and 512GB storage (256GB later), with configurations up to 32GB RAM and 1TB. At 12.7mm and about 2.2 pounds, it will launch in Sky and Storm finishes; the MacBook Neo reportedly uses a 60Hz display with sRGB. Dell frames this as the thinnest and lightest XPS yet and stresses that competition benefits consumers.
