Apple's tiny M4 Mac mini has dropped to its lowest price yet
If you've been curious about trying out a Mac for the first time or need a small computer powerful enough to be your home media server, we strongly recommend the latest Mac Mini. Thankfully, the step-up M4 model with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM is on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo for $689 ($110 off), which marks its lowest price ever. The entry-level model with 256GB of storage is also on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo for $469 ($130 off) — another all-time low. Former Verge staffer Chris Welch called the machine 'a tiny wonder' in his review last year, namely because of its size reduction and power boost over previous generations. Apple managed to pack a lot into a computer that's five inches wide and two inches tall. We reviewed the upgraded 512GB model on sale here, and it performed very well using synthetic testing software, such as Geekbench 6 and Cinebench, as well as a 4K export in Adobe's Premiere Pro. If you work with high-resolution audio, video, or photos, Apple's latest Mini should be able to handle your projects without a problem. One of the Mini's other strengths is its abundance of ports. There are three Thunderbolt 3 ports, an HDMI port, and an ethernet jack on the back, along with a pair of USB-C (USB 3) ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the front. You can use these ports to connect up to three monitors simultaneously, plug it into a TV or projector without an adapter, switch from Wi-Fi to a wired connection on your home network, or attach other common accessories. Alas, the pair of USB-A ports that have been on the Mini for over a decade are gone. One of our only knocks against the M4 Mini was how expensive it was to upgrade its RAM and storage capacity, but this deal helps mitigate that. Also, keep in mind that the Mini is a dedicated desktop computer, which means you will need to supply your own monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Even more great deals If you need a new pair of wireless earbuds for working out, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are still available for around $199.95 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Beats' latest earbuds feature a curved shape that wraps around the back of your ears to ensure a proper fit while exercising, IP4X water resistance to prevent damage from sweat, and heart rate sensors that pulse over 100 times per second to provide an accurate reading. The Pro 2 can also last up to 10 hours per charge and run on Apple's H2 chip — the same chip found in Apple's latest AirPods Pro — allowing them to support spatial audio, one-touch pairing with Apple devices, hands-free Siri, and location tracking via Apple's Find My app. Read our review. You can grab a three-pack of Arlo Essential Security Cameras at Amazon for $119.99 ($40 off), which matches the bundle's second-best price to date. The 1080p battery-powered cameras can be installed indoors or outdoors, and you'll receive a notification anytime they sense motion. They also feature a spotlight and siren, and you can view a live feed from the cameras through Arlo's smartphone app or pay for a premium subscription ($7.99 per month) to store videos in the cloud. Marshall's Emberton III speaker is down to $149.99 ($20 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which matches its lowest price ever. The Bluetooth speaker can play music in true stereo, and automatically adjust its EQ as you raise and lower the volume to avoid blowing out its drivers. It also carries an IP67 rating, which means it's dustproof and shouldn't be damaged when submerged under a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Marshall says the speaker can last up to 32 hours per charge, and plugging it in for 20 minutes will net you six hours of continuous playback.

MediaTek Dimensity 9500 details revealed through Geekbench scoresheet
MediaTek's next-gen flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9500, is rumored to arrive earlier than usual to beat Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 to the market. So we are looking at early to mid-September debut. MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 processor spotted on Geekbench with Mali-G1-Ultra MC12 Dimensity 9500 Chipset/SoC4 Cores @ 2.23 GHz Gelas3 Cores @ 3.03 GHz Alto1 Core @ 3.23 GHz Travis X930🎮 Mali-G1-Ultra MC12 1MHz frequency alps k6993v1_64 — Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) June 16, 2025 Now that the alleged Dimensity 9500 has gone through Geekbench, which has filled us in on the specs. The chip will feature 1x Travis X930 main core clocked at 3.23 GHz, 3x Alto cores running at 3.03 GHz and 4x Gelas cores ticking at 2.23 GHz. The Mali-G1-Ultra MC12 GPU will take care of the graphics, clocked at 1000 MHz. The info from Geekbench seems to be aligned with the April leak, all eight cores. The only discrepancy is the GPU, which was thought to be Immoralis-Drage. A previous report also suggested the new NPU will be significantly more powerful, capable of delivering 100 TOPS. We will likely start seeing the chipset appear on various benchmark databases in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned.

Is this the end of Android tablets? Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 may be your next AI buddy
A few years ago, Android tablets were mostly seen as casual devices. Good for watching movies, checking emails, or keeping kids entertained. They did the job, but rarely offered anything beyond the basics. Over time, many people stopped expecting more from them. But with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11, that may finally be changing. This isn't just about a sharper display or faster chip. Samsung appears more serious about using AI this time. From voice typing support to document summarising and image tools, the Tab S11 seems designed to be useful for work, creative tasks, or staying organised instead of just sitting on your desk as a second screen. According to a Geekbench listing, the Galaxy Tab S11 is expected to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip, 12GB of RAM, and Android 16. It's an early look, but it shows that Samsung is building the tablet to support the new AI features they've been talking about. Samsung has already shown what its AI features can do on a phone. Now, on a bigger screen like a tablet, it could be even more useful. Features like voice typing or automatic summaries could help you save time with everyday stuff. If you are someone who takes notes, needs to go through long articles or to write points discussed in meetings, then these tools will surely help you. The Samsung Tab S11 might bring some of the helpful features already seen on Samsung phones like live translation during chats or calls, turning long notes into quick summaries, helping with transcripts, fixing text through voice, and cleaning up images. If these come to the tablet, it could be more useful for daily tasks. And with a bigger screen, editing photos, removing backgrounds, or using it alongside your Galaxy phone or laptop could feel easier and more useful. Let's be honest. Android tablets haven't been exciting in a long time. Most of them feel like stretched out phones and don't get many updates. Samsung has stayed in the tablet game, but even their earlier models haven't matched the iPad on productivity. That's why the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 is interesting. It's not just about faster speed. Samsung is focusing more on useful tools this time. Tools that might actually help you use the tablet for more than just watching videos. If you're a student, or an employee who works from home, or just want something that helps you stay on top of things, this could be a step in the right direction. The big question here is: will people actually use these AI tools, or will they end up like so many other features we forget after the first week? Its real value will be clear only through day-to-day use. But what's clear is that Samsung isn't just releasing another tablet with a spec bump. It's trying to shift how Android tablets are seen. For years, Android tablets have been treated like large phones or backup screens. The Tab S11 seems to ask: what if they weren't? What if they could actually help you get something done, without feeling like a compromise? It might not be a game changer for everyone, but it's one of the few Android tablets in recent memory that feels like it has a reason to exist beyond streaming and browsing. And that alone makes it worth watching.
