If you have one of Apple s non iMac desktops or a MacBook you d like to plug into a monitor perhaps it s time for an upgrade or to buy a dedicated display in the first place As it happens Apple s Studio Display is on sale right now The price has dropped by to for the VESA mount and tilt adjustable models marking a record low for both It s worth noting that the discount applies to the variants with standard glass not nano texture glass We gave the Apple Studio Monitor a score of in our review in We appreciated the quality of the build and the audio as well as the bright and color accurate screen On the downside restricting the monitor to single zone backlighting was a disappointment as were the Hz refresh rate which is becoming increasingly paltry and the lackluster webcam The lack of HDR in such an expensive monitor is a bummer too Still for those heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem this is a solid K LCD monitor The inch p display supports billion colors and the P wide gamut The six speaker array supports spatial audio and there s a triple mic setup for calls and voice recordings On the connectivity front there s a Thunderbolt port and three USB C slots The Studio Monitor can also deliver a W charge to your MacBook Follow EngadgetDeals on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter for the latest tech deals and buying advice This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Microsoft and the Communications Workers of America CWA have forged a labor neutrality agreement for all ZeniMax workers The CWA says the deal is similar to the one from covering Activision Blizzard s workforce which went into effect in April of this year Thousands of our ZeniMax co workers now have a free and fair path to organize together for better working conditions Page Branson a Senior Quality Assurance QA Tester wrote in a CWA press release In the Xbox maker signed a formal agreement with CWA to respect Activision Blizzard employees right to organize Set to take effect days after Microsoft s acquisition closed it didn t become official until earlier this year It also extends Microsoft s early recognition of ZeniMax QA workers right to unionize and it now includes every eligible employee at ZeniMax The CWA says the new agreement means Microsoft will take a neutral approach when employees express interest in joining the union The workers can communicate with their peers and union reps about membership in a way that encourages information sharing and avoids business disruptions According to the CWA workers will have access to a decision making process that respects their privacy if they wish In addition it includes a dispute resolution and arbitration process in the case of any disagreements between the union and Microsoft When we organized our union under a similar legal agreement the process was clear and management did not try to influence anyone s decision and the company did not try to interfere with the voting process Branson wrote There is strength in numbers and as our numbers grow at ZeniMax at Microsoft and in the video game industry we will gain the respect we deserve and raise the standards of working conditions for everyone across the video gaming industry When we benefit the consumer and the company will ultimately benefit with us and help keep this industry stable for current and future workers Update June PM ET The subhed of this story has been updated to reflect that the deal was between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard workers while Activision Blizzard the entity was not a party to the deal nbsp This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

TikTok’s AI efforts reportedly exploit loopholes to use premium Nvidia chips |
https://www.engadget.com/tiktoks-ai-efforts-reportedly-exploit-loopholes-to-use-premium-nvidia-chips-173432988.html?src=rss

The US has banned companies like Nvidia from selling their most advanced AI chips to China since But if loopholes exist profit hungry corporations will find and exploit them The Information published a bombshell report on Thursday detailing how Oracle allows TikTok owner ByteDance to rent Nvidia s most advanced chips to train AI models on US soil ByteDance which many US lawmakers believe has direct ties to the Chinese government is reportedly renting US based servers containing Nvidia s coveted H chips from US cloud computing company Oracle to train AI models The practice which runs against the spirit of the US government s chip regulations is technically allowed because Oracle is merely renting out the chips on American soil not selling them to companies in China The US government has cracked down on exporting the chips to China as an extension of the tensions between the two nations The Biden Administration fears the nation could use advanced AI for military or surveillance purposes or to gain an economic upper hand The US government passed bipartisan legislation in April that will force ByteDance to either sell its US operations or face a ban But ByteDance still has until early next year to close a deal and it s suing the US government which could delay enforcement Although ByteDance is training its models in the US it could be difficult to stop them from sending the models they produced back to their headquarters in China according to US based cloud providers and a former Nvidia employee who spoke to The Information Quite the loophole indeed ByteDance s Project Texas initiative which the company claims siloes off TikTok s US operations from its Chinese leadership to allay US fears is at the heart of the arrangement However former ByteDance employees have described Project Texas as largely cosmetic as they claim the company s US wing regularly works closely with its Beijing based leadership ByteDance isn t the only Chinese company looking to game the rules The Information says Alibaba and Tencent are discussing similar arrangements to gain access to the sought after chips Those deals could be harder to squash because they have their own US based data centers and wouldn t have to rent servers from American companies US cloud computing company Oracle reportedly enables ByteDance s training of AI models in the US OracleNot every company has been as willing as Oracle to skirt the law s intent Two small American cloud providers reportedly turned down offers to rent servers with Nvidia s H chips to ByteDance and China Telecom because they seemed to go against the spirit of U S chip restrictions However Oracle cofounded by American businessman Larry Ellison and run by current CEO Safra Catz apparently found the opportunity for profit through technically legal workarounds too tempting to pass up The US Commerce Department the bureau that could close the loophole may already be aware of the practices Earlier this year the department proposed a rule that would require US cloud providers to verify foreign customers identities and notify the US if any of them were training AI models that could be used in malicious cyber enabled activity However the Commerce Department recently said most cloud providers disapproved of the proposal claiming the burden of additional requirements might outweigh the intended benefit In the meantime the proposed rule which could theoretically plug the loophole remains in limbo But even if the US manages to shut down that exploit The Information says it wouldn t cover Chinese cloud providers like Tencent and Alibaba from buying Nvidia s chips and using them to train AI models in their own US based data centers The Commerce Department will have its hands full figuring this one out as business and defense interests wrestle for control This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The best laptop you can buy in 2024 |
https://www.engadget.com/best-laptops-120008636.html?src=rss
|
The laptop buzzword of is AI PC ーnotebooks that have neural processing units NPUs for AI related tasks But while it s smart to be aware of those systems there are far more important things to consider beyond AI savviness It turns out buying a computer in isn t really that much different than in recent years You ll still want to find something that balances power weight and screen size with your computing needs Out of the notebooks we ve reviewed in the first five months of we consider Apple s inch MacBook Air M to be the best laptop for most people It s powerful enough to handle most tasks even light video editing it has a great screen and built in speakers and its battery could last around hours depending on what you re doing of course The MacBook Air M is also one of the lightest and thinnest systems we ve reviewed and it s dead silent thanks to a fanless design While Apple has debuted its new M chip in the recent iPad Pro we may not see it in the MacBook Air until next year For now the MacBook Air M is still an excellent laptop to buy As for Windows laptops and Chromebooks the recommendations are a bit more nuanced and varied While the aforementioned AI features may dominate the news the more traditional choices between Intel and AMD CPUs and whether or not you want a dedicated graphics chip or GPU still stand And unlike Macs your options include systems with touchscreens in convertible tablets and more To that end we have plenty of recently tested and recommended models from brands including HP Dell and ASUS in this guide Microsoft also recently announced its Copilot AI PC initiative which calls for minimum laptop specs like GB of RAM GB of storage and NPUs with at least TOPS of computing power Those systems which include the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop will start rolling out at the end of June While my early hands on with both systems were promising we still need to put them through our extensive testing process to see if they live up to the hype You ll find those Surface reviews alongside all of our other laptop coverage once we get our hands on them so make sure to come back Table of contentsBest laptops of How we test and pick laptopsFactors to consider when choosing a laptopBest laptops specs comparison chartOther laptops we ve testedLaptop FAQsRecent updatesBest laptops of Back to topHow we test laptopsEngadget has been reviewing laptops for two decades and while the definition of what a portable PC is has changed considerably since our obsession with testing their limits and serving up informative buying advice remains the same Be it a hybrid tablet like Microsoft s Surface machines a rotating in convertible like HP s Spectre xs or a plain old clamshell notebook our review process follows similar beats How does it look and feel How fast is it Whether it s a Windows device a MacBook or a Chromebook we aim to answer the most important question Is it actually worth your hard earned cash Back to topFactors to consider when choosing a laptopPriceYou can expect to spend between and for a new laptop these days depending on the configuration If you re looking for more of a workhorse that could cost you well over for additional RAM storage as well as a beefier GPU and CPU But you can also find some good deals under if you re willing to overlook build quality or buy a refurbished or previous generation machine which we highly recommend Systems with AMD chips tend to come in cheaper than their Intel counterparts but the bulk of their cost will come down to other components like RAM and storage I ve included our favorite affordable model in this best laptop buying guide but we have a list of the best budget laptops that you can check out as well Operating system Apple Windows or Chrome OSThere s a good chance you ve already committed to an operating system but my advice is to be as flexible as possible These days most major software is compatible with both Macs and PCs Of course it s another story if you ve become dependent on an Apple only app like Final Cut Pro Web based apps naturally will work on any platform with an internet browser If you re an Apple loyalist there aren t many reasons to consider Windows laptops unless you want a secondary gaming machine But for Windows users macOS is becoming more tempting every year Apple s MacBooks powered by its M series Silicon chips are among the fastest and most efficient laptops we ve ever seen They re incredibly well built and have tremendous battery life to boot MacOS itself is also an easy platform to learn especially if you re used to iOS and iPadOS That brings up another point iPhone users may want to consider Macs because of the seamless integration with Apple s other platforms You can t respond to iMessage conversations easily or hop into FaceTime chats on Windows PCs but doing so is simple on Macs Microsoft s Phone Link app lets you send iOS users individual texts but not media or group chats Android users meanwhile may be better off with Windows as Phone Link can make calls synchronize all your texts and also access your phone s photos As for whether you ll want a PC with a dedicated Copilot AI button on the keyboard that depends on how often you see yourself using Microsoft s generative tools Given we re only just seeing the first slate of AI PCs it would be wiser to wait out the hype and see what improvements might come over time And what about ChromeOS Chromebooks are a smart and typically inexpensive way to browse the web and hop on a few video chats but they re not the best choice as your primary computer There aren t many apps or games that work offline and they also don t work with powerful software suites like Adobe s you can use the stripped down Adobe Express and Photoshop online tools though Chromebooks are great secondary machines to use alongside a more powerful Mac or PC and they re popular in schools because they re cheap and easy for IT workers to manage And if all you need is web access or a notebook for a kid a Chromebook might be enough If for some reason you re looking for a powerful ChromeOS system there are also Chromebook Plus models to consider These machines sport faster processors and more RAM than typical Google notebooks and they can also tap into a few of the company s online AI features like AI image generation and photo processing Ports and connectivityThese days most laptops ship with a few USB C ports which can handle both charging and speedy data transfers Apple s MacBooks also include a separate connection for MagSafe power and you ll find custom power connections on some PCs like Microsoft s Surface Older USB Type A connections are less common now but they still pop up in systems like HP s Spectre x as well as many models from ASUS If you re a fan of wired headphones it s worth keeping a close eye on headphone jack availability Many ultra slim laptops like Dell s XPS don t have the mm socket entirely They usually include a USB C to mm adapter but that s a clunky solution and it also takes up a USB port Sure most people use wireless earbuds and cans today but it s still helpful to have a wired one around for when those devices run out of juice Most laptops in offer Wi Fi or E and Bluetooth or later which should mean faster and more stable connections if you have compatible routers and devices While Wi Fi routers have started appearing that spec hasn t made its way into laptops yet As for cellular coverage there are notebooks like the Surface Pro and Samsung Galaxy Book models that offer integrated G But from our testing that feature may not be worth the cost of a separate data plan Instead you could tether to your smartphone or invest in a wireless hotspot that can keep multiple devices online Laptop size and weightSo how portable do you want your laptop to be That s the ultimate question you need to ask when choosing between various screen sizes inch machines have become a solid starting point for most shoppers ーit s enough real estate for the majority of tasks like emailing and writing and it also helps keep machines relatively light typically between two to three pounds Thanks to manufacturing advancements these dainty machines sometimes even come with larger screens the smaller MacBook Air actually has a inch display If you have trouble seeing fine text we d recommend going for a display larger than inches ASUS s Zephyrus G is a solid inch option for gamers and we re also seeing more productivity focused machines aim for that size like the XPS and MacBook Pro While inch notebooks are a bit heavier than inch models coming in between three to four pounds their screens are noticeably roomier For artists or anyone else who needs a large canvas a inch laptop may make the most sense They typically weigh between and pounds but that extra heft may be worth it to fit wider video editing timelines or Photoshop windows And as you d expect you ll also pay a bit more for a inch notebook compared to smaller ones the inch MacBook Air starts at while the smaller model goes for PC makers are also replacing inch systems with inch versions which will give you even more space to work You can still find laptops with inch or inch screens but those are typically gaming systems or souped up workstations They re not meant for mere computing mortals Battery lifeA laptop s battery life depends on several factors The power draw from the screen and other hardware the optimizations used to avoid unnecessary power drain and of course the size of the actual battery One of our favorite systems the Dell XPS lasted hours and minutes in the PCMark battery benchmark In real world testing I was able to use it for a day and a half without needing a recharge The MacBook Air inch meanwhile lasted hours in our benchmark and kept running for more than two work days of my typical workflow In general you should expect a modern laptop to last at least eight hours If battery life is your absolute priority I d strongly suggest looking at Macs over Windows PCs Apple s M series chips are essentially mobile hardware with all of the power efficiency you d expect from something originally designed for phones Qualcomm s upcoming Snapdragon chips could help Windows PCs compete with Apple s astonishing battery life but we ve yet to see those in action Chromebooks also typically get decent battery life as long as you don t overstuff them with power draining tabs Refresh rateA laptop s refresh rate refers to the amount of times its screen is cycled every second Modern displays like LCDs and OLEDs support Hz refresh rates at a minimum but we re seeing more devices offering Hz Hz and beyond The higher the number the faster the screen is refreshed which ultimately leads to a smoother experience while mousing around or scrolling through web pages If you want to get a sense of what a slow refresh rate looks like just grab an e reader like the Kindle and try to flip between book pages While high refresh rates used to be reserved for gaming laptops nowadays we re seeing more mainstream machines like the XPS offer Hz or variable rates that move between Hz and Hz If there s one knock against the MacBook Air it s that it s still stuck at Hz CPUIf you re buying a new laptop you ll want to make sure it s powered by the latest CPUs For Windows PCs that includes Intel s Core Ultra chips for thin and light machines or the th gen HX chips for beefier systems The Core Ultra series have NPUs for handling AI tasks while the HX hardware does not they re based on Intel s previous chip architecture and they re more focused on delivering raw horsepower Intel s older th gen and th gen laptop chips also don t have NPUs so keep that in mind if you re looking at used systems You ll also see AMD s Ryzen and chips in plenty of new systems like the ASUS Zephyrus G and Razer Blade Those CPUs mainly target gaming laptops and high performance systems while you ll still find AMD s older Ryzen chips in ultraportables AMD s main advantage is that its chips also include Radeon graphics which are far more capable than Intel s Arc hardware though those are getting better Qualcomm s new Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus are also an option in Copilot PCs more on those below Since they re based on mobile chip designs they re likely also more power efficient than AMD and Intel s hardware In the past we ve avoided recommending Snapdragon chips because they led to a slow and frustrating Windows experience But Microsoft claims it s rebuilt Windows around Snapdragon s Arm based architecture which should lead to far faster performance and better app compatibility As for Apple s laptops you ll be choosing between the M M Pro and M Ultra each of which is progressively more powerful Apple is also keeping its older M chip around for the MacBook Air which is still a solid performer for the price Apple s M chip made its debut in the recent iPad Pro but it s not in any laptops yet and it likely won t be until the end of GPUA GPU or graphics processing unit is the component that communicates directly with a laptop s display Laptop CPUs all have some form of integrated GPU Intel has either its standard graphics or beefier Arc hardware while AMD s chips include fast Radeon mobile graphics If you want to play demanding games at high speeds measured in frames per second or fps or if you need some extra power for rendering video or D models you can configure a laptop with a dedicated GPU like NVIDIA s RTX series hardware or AMD s Radeon RX Just be sure to leave room in your budget if you want a powerful GPU as they typically add or more to the cost of a laptop Apple s M series chips meanwhile have GPU cores that can perform as well as NVIDIA s and AMD s lower end dedicated GPUs That s quite the accomplishment for systems like this especially the MacBook Air and inch MacBook Pro and it s another reason we highly recommend Apple s notebooks AI PCs NPUs and Copilot Simply put an AI PC is a computer equipped with a neural processing unit NPU which is designed to handle AI related tasks Much like how GPUs tackle heavy duty gaming and rendering workloads NPUs are designed to handle the complex math necessary for AI workloads They re also far more power efficient than CPUs or GPUs which could lead to better battery performance in laptops While many factors go into NPU performance for the most part we measure their potential speed by TOPS tera operations per second We were primed for AI PCs in based on the chips Intel and AMD announced late last year Intel unveiled its Core Ultra CPUs in December its first to include an NPU for AI work AMD also announced its Ryzen AI mobile chips that month and it couldn t help but say they were faster than Intel s new hardware But in May Microsoft announced its Copilot initiative which is pushing major PC makers to deliver premium AI PCs with specifications including GB of RAM GB SSDs and NPUs with at least TOPS of AI performance Copilot is more than just a marketing term Microsoft is also launching AI powered features in Windows that take advantage of powerful NPUs That includes Recall which can help you locate anything you ve done on your PC as well as Cocreator in Paint which can generate AI images based on text prompts and doodles We haven t had a chance to test out the Surface Pro Surface Laptop or other Copilot systems yet but keep an eye out for our upcoming reviews If you buy an AI PC that isn t Copilot certified you ll still be able to use some features like Windows Studio Effects which can blur your background in video calls or keep you in frame Developers like Adobe and Audacity are also building features into their apps that can take advantage of NPUs At the time of this post Chromebook Plus notebooks can also access a few of Google s online AI features like image generation and photo processing Back to topOther laptops we tested that didn t make the cutApple inch MacBook Air MThis Apple laptop is just a larger version of the inch M MacBook Air It s still quite portable at pounds and some will appreciating having just a tad more screen real estate all the time Configuration options are the same as well you can spec out the inch Air with up to GB of RAM and TB of storage But considering it starts off more than the smaller model it s primarily best for those who absolutely need a larger screen and are willing to pay for it ASUS ZenBook OLEDAside from its lovely OLED screen the ASUS ZenBook OLED doesn t stand out from the crowded laptop field in any way It just looks dull and boring especially compared to the strikingly beautiful ASUS Zephyrus G which also came out this year While you can probably find the ZenBook for a decent price I d recommend holding out for something with a bit more personality and with a less wobbly screen hinge Razer Blade The Razer Blade has almost everything you d want in a inch gaming notebook but it s far pricier than the Zephyrus G on this list and it doesn t even have an SD card reader It would be a solid competitor once its price falls a bit and it s certainly a great option if you just have to have a jet black laptop Framework Laptop Framework gave its modularity magic to the Laptop delivering a gaming notebook where almost every single component is user replaceable But you ll have to pay a pretty penny to snag it with upgraded hardware and its optional Radeon S GPU was surprisingly slow Alienware m RThe Alienware m r has been revamped with a slimmer case but it s otherwise a fairly typical gaming laptop It s a solid option for Alienware fans but you ll find better hardware and deals elsewhere ASUS ZenBook Duo The ZenBook Duo is a fascinating dual screened notebook and according to my colleague Sam Rutherford it s the first of its kind that s worth buying But its unique hardware isn t really meant for mainstream consumers and Windows still doesn t support multi screen setups well enough to make full use of the ZenBook Duo s ample canvas Dell XPS Dell s XPS is big and beautiful but it s far too expensive compared to the competition Plus it uses a capacitive row of function keys that you basically can t see under bright light and has too few ports for a machine of this size See Also Best Gaming Laptops for Best Cheap Windows LaptopsBest in Laptops for Best ChromebooksBest Laptops for College StudentsBack to topLaptop FAQsWhat is the average battery life of a laptop per charge It s hard to come up with an average battery life for laptops since that will ultimately depend on what you re doing with them An ultraportable like the MacBook Air that sips power can last around hours in our battery benchmark and around two full work days of real world usage But a gaming laptop may last only a few hours if you re actively playing something while on battery At this point Macs are delivering far better battery life than PCs thanks to Apple s Silicon chips but Microsoft claims Copilot systems with Qualcomm chips will also get over hours of batter life How much RAM do I really need The more RAM you have the more things your computer can do simultaneously For that reason we recommend buying PCs and Macs with at least GB of RAM That gives you enough memory to have several applications open at once as well as web browsers filled with RAM hogging tabs Many PC games also require at least GB of RAM While you could use a system with GB of RAM for basic tasks you ll quickly run into slowdowns and error messages as your apps stack up Many laptops especially ultraportables don t let you upgrade RAM too so you ll have to buy an entirely new computer if you didn t equip enough memory at the start If you re a hardcore gamer programmer or planning to render videos or D models then you may want to go for GB of RAM or more And if you just need a secondary laptop for lighter work perhaps a no frills system for writing then you can probably get by with GB Just be sure to keep those browser tabs in check What is the best storage capacity for a laptop There is no one size fits all solution when it comes to laptop storage You ll typically find configurations between GB and TB SSDs solid state drives on most laptops and I d recommend most people get at least GB That ll be enough space for large apps music and video files without stressing your system too much If you re a media hoarder or want to play a ton of games then it s definitely worth getting a TB SSD If you ll mainly be streaming your shows and music and would rather invest in RAM or other hardware then GB of storage would be serviceable I d recommend staying away from any machine with GB of storage though Most of that will be taken up by the operating system and you ll likely run into issues cramming in large apps after a few months We recommend springing for extra built in storage or investing in a portable SSD for backing up your most important files It s also worth noting that Chromebooks tend to come with less built in storage ーGB GB or GB ーsince ChromeOS encourages users to save their files in the cloud rather than on the device In that case GB is plenty What s a good price range for a decent laptop in You can expect to spend between and for a typical inch laptop today As I explained above you ll pay more if you want to stuff in more RAM or better GPU hardware But you can also find deals below if you look for refurbished or older generation models What s the difference between macOS and Windows Which is better Simply put macOS is the operating system in all of Apple s notebooks and desktops while Windows powers the vast majority of PCs You ll also find Chromebooks running Google s ChromeOS but those are basically just web browsers running on top of Linux Debating the differences between Windows and Macs is something PC nerds have been doing since the s so we won t be declaring a winner here There are some small negligible distinctions like using a Command versus a Control key how file explorers work and concerns about viruses and security For the most part those are minor issues or have become moot thanks to better built in security But if you care more about playing the newest games you ll want to have a Windows system If you re more focused on creative apps like Photoshop Premiere and Final Cut Pro then macOS may be a better fit especially if you re running an iPhone What are the best laptop brands There is no single best laptop brand but judging from this guide alone we re generally impressed by notebooks from Apple Dell and ASUS They all offer fast reliable and sturdy machines HP also makes some eye catching devices if you want an option that s the most aesthetic Those four brands along with Lenovo and Acer dominate laptop sales worldwide We d avoid systems from any retail store brands or companies that don t have a major presence in the US Back to topBest laptops specs comparison
