Laptops that handle ordinary work without drama have climbed in price, yet the 13.6-inch MacBook Air with the M5 chip, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD, priced at $1,149 today (was $1,299), still sits in a range where the cost matches what the machine actually does. This configuration keeps the same thin aluminum body as earlier Airs: 0.44 inches closed and roughly 2.7 pounds. The chassis uses recycled aluminum in large measure, and the finish resists everyday scuffs better than many lighter alternatives.

Apple Music introduced its updated brand identity on October 21, 2026, built around the idea that sound itself should generate the visuals.

Unitree H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian Robot Unleashes Flying Kicks and Car Lifts in Fresh Demo

By Bill Smith October 21, 2026

Unitree released a short video this week introducing the H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian, a full-size humanoid built on the company’s existing H2 platform and positioned for security and rescue work. In the opening sequences the robot climbs onto the roof of a scrapyard car, flips off, then delivers knees, elbows, and punches that leave clear dents in doors and hoods. It jumps from a platform labeled four meters high, lands, rolls, and stands again, then chains aerial kicks and backflips amid sparks. Unitree states the footage is real and has not been sped up.
