Journalists at the Los Angeles event today lifted the lid on Apple’s new MacBook Pro and immediately felt the weight drop before the screen even lit up. The 14-inch model comes in at three pounds, half a pound lighter than the previous version, while the 16-inch version sits at four pounds. In the hand it feels closer to a thinner machine, and several people noted that the difference shows up right away when the laptop goes into a bag.
Samsung’s first clip-on earbuds rest against the outer ear instead of pressing into the canal, leaving the path clear so traffic, conversations, and doorbells stay audible while music plays. Each piece weighs 6.65 grams and uses a curved band shaped from more than 119 million ear measurements plus computer modeling that tested pressure points and stiffness across many shapes. The result is a low-pressure hold meant to stay put during runs or walks without pinching. Black is the only color, the earbuds carry an IP54 rating for light dust and rain splashes, and the matching case measures 51 by 51 by 28.3 millimeters and weighs 41 grams.
Four solar panels fold outward from the FEELLE 50000mAh Solar Power Bank, priced at $62.99 today (was $70), spreading across a wider surface than the single flat sheets found on most packs in the same size range. Each panel sits on a hinge that locks into place once opened, so the whole array can face the sun while the main body stays flat on the ground or hangs from a pack.
Fabrizio Giugiaro and GFG Style built the Peralta D as a one-off 2+2 grand tourer for Mexican collector Carlos Peralta. The car follows the earlier Peralta S, which used an aluminum body on a mid-engine Maserati MC20 and was dedicated to Peralta’s sons. This new version carries the letter D for his daughters and also for the Italian word donne.
Apple finally put a touchscreen on a MacBook Pro and paired it with a tandem OLED panel called PROLED XDR that reaches 2000 nits of peak brightness for both HDR and ordinary SDR content. Available in 14.2-inch and 16.3-inch sizes, the display hits a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, supports ProMotion that ramps from 10Hz to 120Hz, and covers both the P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces with more than 80 percent of Rec. 2020.
