Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: latest news, rumors, and everything we’ve heard so far

Amazon’s Prime Day is back with a killer deal for audiobook lovers—three months of Audible for just $3. That’s a steep discount compared to the usual $15/month, giving you access to thousands of titles for less than the price of a latte.

Editor’s Note: If you’ve been on the fence about trying Audible, this is basically a no-brainer. It’s a limited-time offer, so it’s worth jumping on if you’re into audiobooks or podcasts. Plus, it’s a reminder that Prime Day isn’t just about gadgets—it’s a goldmine for digital subscriptions too.

ZDNET just dropped their top 20 tablet deals for Prime Day, covering everything from iPads to Galaxy Tabs and Surface Pros—plus accessories. If you’ve been waiting to snag a new tablet at a discount, now’s the time to check these out before they’re gone.

Editor’s Note: Prime Day is basically Black Friday in July, and tablets are one of the hottest categories. Whether you’re upgrading your own device or hunting for a back-to-school gift, these deals could save you serious cash—but they won’t stick around forever.

Microsoft's latest Windows 11 preview update isn't something most users should rush to install—preview builds can be buggy and unstable. But if you're a PC gamer plagued by a frustrating black screen glitch, this optional update might be worth the risk, as it specifically addresses that issue.

Editor’s Note: Gamers often deal with annoying technical hiccups that can ruin the experience, so a fix for a persistent black screen problem is a big deal—even if it comes with the usual caveats of beta software. If you're not a gamer or don't have this issue, though, there's no reason to jump on this update just yet.

A tech reviewer found the $499 Acer Aspire 14 AI to be a surprisingly capable alternative to their pricier ThinkPad, mainly because of its outstanding battery life. The laptop—currently discounted at Costco—shows that budget-friendly options can now compete with premium workhorses for everyday use.

Editor’s Note: If you’ve been eyeing a reliable work laptop but balked at premium prices, this deal might change your mind. It’s a sign that mid-range laptops are closing the gap on performance and battery life, making high-end models harder to justify for average users. Plus, who doesn’t love a good Costco discount?

If you're itching to grab some sweet deals before the crowds hit Prime Day, now's your chance—major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are already rolling out July 4th discounts on everything from gadgets to patio furniture. Think of it as an early fireworks show for your wallet.

Editor’s Note: Let's be real—shopping feels better when you're saving money. With inflation still lingering, these early holiday discounts give budget-conscious shoppers a head start on snagging tech, home goods, or outdoor gear without waiting (or paying full price). Timing is everything, and this sneak peek could mean beating the rush—or the dreaded "sold out" notification.
