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.…

Leaving the house without a power bank has become a gamble—and one that’s easy to avoid, especially when solid options are this affordable. The Iniu 20,000mAh 45W power bank is currently down to just $31, thanks to a 22% discount from its usual $40 price. At this level, it’s hard to justify not having one in your bag, whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just spending a long day away from an outlet. Capacity is one of the main highlights here. With 20,000mAh on tap, this power bank can recharge most smartphones around three to four times, making it ideal for…

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…

A day after AMD officially unveiled its Ryzen AI 400 “Gorgon Point” processors for laptops, senior executives outlined how the company views its broader client roadmap, competitive positioning, and design momentum across mobile and desktop platforms. Speaking following the announcement, AMD emphasized that client processors remain a core pillar of the company’s business, accounting for roughly 30 percent of total revenue, even if the segment occupied a smaller portion of the company’s latest keynote presentation. According to AMD, the reduced keynote focus reflects presentation priorities rather than any diminished strategic importance, as the client division continues to expand across notebooks,…

If useful, everyday AI tools are what laptop buyers have been waiting for, Lenovo believes it finally has an answer. At CES 2026, the company introduced Qira, a Lenovo-developed AI assistant designed to live across select Lenovo PCs and smartphones, with an initial rollout planned for the first quarter of 2026. Lenovo describes Qira as an “ambient intelligence,” a term that immediately raises both interest and skepticism. The concept echoes past attempts at contextual assistants—most famously Microsoft’s Clippy—but Lenovo insists Qira is designed to be more subtle, persistent, and device-aware. Rather than existing on a single machine, Qira is meant…

Voice-controlled smart appliances aren’t new, but IAI Smart is taking a noticeably different approach at CES with a new lineup of Emerson Smart devices that process voice commands entirely on the appliance itself. There’s no smart speaker required, no companion app, and no broadband connection involved. All voice recognition and command processing happens locally, a design choice aimed squarely at users concerned about privacy, security, or unreliable internet access. The Emerson Smart lineup—including tower fans, space heaters, air fryers, and smart plugs—uses IAI Smart’s proprietary SmartVoice technology. Each appliance has a built-in microphone and listens for a device-specific wake phrase…
