Microsoft is preparing a special variant of Windows 11 that departs from its usual annual update rhythm, with version 26H1 designed specifically for next-generation Arm-based hardware. Windows 11 26H1 is being tailored for Snapdragon X2 systems, continuing Microsoft’s strategy of optimizing Windows for custom silicon rather than treating all platforms identically. The company previously released an early test build of 26H1 to Windows Insiders in November, but it stopped short of confirming when the operating system would officially ship on consumer devices. According to Windows Latest, sources at CES now indicate that the first PCs equipped with Snapdragon X2 processors…

Keeping track of everyday items like luggage, keys, or backpacks has become much easier thanks to Bluetooth trackers, but Apple’s AirTags remain a pricey option—especially if you want more than one. For budget-conscious buyers, Ugreen’s FineTrack Bluetooth trackers are emerging as a compelling alternative, and right now they’re even more appealing thanks to a steep discount. A 4-pack of Ugreen FineTrack trackers is currently available for $20, down from $35, representing a solid 43 percent price cut and bringing the cost to just $5 per tracker. Despite the lower price, Ugreen’s FineTrack trackers offer functionality that closely mirrors Apple AirTags.…

Vertical video, the endlessly scrollable format popularized by TikTok and embraced by platforms ranging from YouTube and Facebook to ESPN, is now making its way to Disney+. Disney executives revealed the plan during a company-backed advertising event at CES this week, describing the move as part of a broader effort to “evolve the experience over time” and experiment with vertical video across different categories and content types. According to the company, the goal is to build a more personalized and dynamic feed rather than simply copying the short-video formulas seen on social media. As for what viewers might actually see…

Microsoft is testing a broad visual redesign for its Edge browser that brings its look and feel much closer to the Copilot app, according to a report from Windows Central. The update introduces a refreshed interface across several areas of the browser, including redesigned settings pages, updated quick-action menus, and a new tab page that adopts Copilot-inspired shapes, color palettes, and typography. Notably, these visual changes are not tied to Edge’s AI mode and appear even when Copilot features are disabled, suggesting the redesign is meant to modernize Edge’s overall identity rather than serve as an AI-only experience. The new…

Bose has reversed course on plans that would have effectively stripped smart features from its aging SoundTouch lineup, opting instead to preserve core functionality and open the platform to third-party developers. The company had previously announced it would discontinue cloud services for its more-than-decade-old SoundTouch Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars, a move that would have disabled native streaming features and significantly reduced the value of products that originally sold for between $400 and $1,500. Under the original plan, the SoundTouch app was set to lose access to cloud-based music services such as Spotify, Pandora, and TuneIn as early as February 18.…

San Francisco Bay Area startup SunnyWhale used CES 2026 to showcase an early version of its first commercial product, a floating pool water monitoring and chemical dispensing system called FinWhale. Named after the fin whale—the largest filter-feeding animal in the ocean—the device is designed to automate both water quality tracking and chlorine management in residential swimming pools. Roughly the size of a gallon milk jug, FinWhale floats on the surface of the pool and continuously measures key water parameters, including temperature, free chlorine (FC), and pH levels. These readings are logged over time and displayed in a companion mobile app,…

Household robotics brand iGarden expanded its lineup at CES with the introduction of the new M1 series of robotic pool cleaners, positioned alongside the company’s existing K series of underwater cleaning robots. Similar to the K lineup, the M1 family focuses on tiered battery capacities and corresponding runtime differences, rather than major feature gaps between models. The series debuts with four variants, all built around the same core platform but tailored for different pool sizes and cleaning durations. The M1 series also brings a noticeably refreshed design. Instead of treads, the robots now ride on four wheels, paired with a…

AMD’s decision to bring its Ryzen AI 400 “Gorgon Point” processors into socketed desktop PCs could unlock something the PC market has never really had before: the ability for consumers to purchase a mobile-class Ryzen processor and install it into a desktop system, potentially even upgrading it later like a traditional desktop CPU. At CES 2026, AMD formally introduced Ryzen AI 400 as its next-generation laptop processor lineup. But buried within the announcement—and clarified further in interviews with AMD executives—was a notable shift in strategy: Ryzen AI 400 won’t be limited to soldered laptop designs. Instead, AMD confirmed that it…
