Sometimes, you just need an extra GPU. I'm not going to ask questions. Even though SLI and CrossFire are dead and buried, there are still plenty of legitimate uses for a second GPU, and in fact those use cases are growing. Unfortunately, peering through the window of your computer case you notice that your motherboard only has one PCIe slot long enough for a GPU.

Taylor Sheridan’s new neo-Western television series Marshals premiered March 1 on CBS and Paramount+. The series shocked audiences right out of the gate, which I won’t spoil in case you haven't seen it yet. The newest chapter in the Yellowstone universe finds former U.S. Navy SEAL and rancher Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) stepping into an entirely new role with three things—a new outlook, a new badge, and a brand-new mission.

Sports cars in 2026 are split down the middle. Some are chasing electrification and wild aero tricks, while others stick to the old-school formula and dare you to call them outdated.

Did you know that many of the tools you use every day have free, open-source alternatives that are just as good as—or even better than—their expensive commercial counterparts?

Google Chrome already releases new major versions every four weeks, delivering new features, web APIs, bug fixes, and critical security patches. That’s now changing to every two weeks, and other Chrome-based browsers could follow suit.

March is here, and so are some new Android updates. Google is releasing several features for Android users at large, as well as the latest Pixel Drop. There are better tools for finding everything from luggage to friends, Circle to Search improvements, a highly-requested app, and much more.

Congratulations—you finally got up to actually making backups of your data. If you think it's a "run and forget" ordeal, though, you're very, very wrong.

Motion sensors are a part of many smart homes. They're very useful for common purposes, such as having your lights automatically turn on when you enter a room. Where you position them can be key to how quickly they react, and the obvious positions aren't always the best.

According to Page Six Hollywood, Warner Bros. is working on a Game of Thrones prequel film. Andor writer and House of Cards showrunner Beau Willimon is attached as screenwriter, and has reportedly already submitted a draft of the film's screenplay.

While the plot remains under wraps, Page Six reports that the film will center on King Aegon I Targaryen and his conquest of Westeros. The conquest took place nearly 300 years before Game of Thrones itself, and Aegon carried it out alongside his sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys. (Even in movie form, you can't escape Targaryen incest.)

HBO has been discussing a TV show about Aegon the Conqueror since 2023. Among these discussions was the possibility of a companion feature film that would lead into the series. It's unclear yet whether Willimon's film will be acting as a similar bridge into an upcoming show, or if it will be a stand-alone.

Of course, the movie's future could be in flux due to Warner Bros.' possible sale to Paramount Skydance, as the project could be scrapped post-merger. Then again, Game of Thrones is crucial to the Warner Bros. and HBO brands, and that importance may help it come to fruition in a turbulent media landscape.

Apple has finally revamped not one, but both versions of the Studio Display. The 2nd gen Studio Display and all-new mini LED Studio Display XDR will be available to preorder on Wednesday, March 4 for $1,599 and $3,299, respectively. They officially launch and start shipping on March 11.

The new Apple monitors were announced just one day after a new iPad Air and new MacBook Air were unveiled, all building up to a "special Apple experience" happening on March 4.

Apple fans have been wondering about the existence of an "Apple Studio Display 2" of some sort for a while now. (The original Studio Display came out in 2022, and the original Studio Pro Display XDR came out even earlier in 2019.) Both have tilt-adjustable heads and are available in standard or nano-texture glass.

Noteworthy upgrades for the regular Studio Pro include a 1MP Center Stage camera, a studio-quality microphone system, Spatial Audio, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity.

The 27-inch Studio Display XDR isn't the OLED Studio Display that some Reddit users were hoping for, but the advanced mini-LED backlight does give it a serious premium edge over other high-end monitors. Creatives can see their work in all its glory displayed in 5K and up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness fine-tuned across more than 2,000 local dimming zones. The 120Hz refresh rate should give any motion projects, streaming, or gaming a visible bump in fluidity.

I've long been a fan of Humble Bundle, but I have never purchased as much from the site as I do now—and that has everything to do with my book-style foldable phone. If you're not sure why someone might want a phone with a large square-shaped inner screen, I firmly believe that Humble Bundle is all the reason you need.

Apple is launching updated MacBook Pros with new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips and double the starting storage, the company announced Tuesday. The new models will be available for preorder starting Wednesday (March 4) and start shipping March 11; stay tuned for links to their listings on the Apple Store and third-party retailers.

The new MacBook Pros will be available in 14- and 16-inch sizes. The M5 Pro variants will start at $2,199 and $2,699, respectively, with discounts of up to $200 for education shoppers who buy direct. They come with 1TB of base storage. Apple recommends them "for users running complex workflows, like coders optimizing algorithms and photographers processing massive image libraries," according to a company press release.

The 14-inch M5 Max model starts at $3,599 (or $3,299 for students), while the 16-inch size starts at $3,899 (or $3,599 for students). Both models have 2TB of base storage. They're aimed at "those pushing the absolute limits, such as engineers running rigorous simulations," Apple said.

While the starting prices of both new MacBook Pro variants are higher than their predecessors', the latter's base models had half the storage. When configured identically, with the same amount of storage and RAM, their prices haven't changed:

• 14-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Pro/M5 Pro, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $2,199

• 16-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Pro/M5 Pro, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD) — $2,699

• 14-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Max/M5 Max, 36GB RAM, 2TB SSD) — $3,599

• 16-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Max/M5 Max, 36GB RAM, 2TB SSD) — $3,899

In keeping with this pattern, Apple has also announced that it's updating the starting configuration of its entry-level MacBook Pro, the 14-inch model with the regular M5 chip (an October 2025 release). It now has 1TB of base storage and a starting price of $1,699. It used to start at $1,599 with 512GB of storage, with a 1TB bump costing $200 extra, so that's actually a better deal than before.

The updated MacBook Pros won't be the only new Apple gadgets that go up for preorder on Wednesday (and launch the following week). We're also getting new M5 MacBook Airs, a new budget iPhone 17e, an M4 iPad Air, and new Studio Displays. A still-unannounced budget MacBook is reportedly joining the party, too. If the rumor mill is correct, it could cost $599 to $799 — giving Chromebooks and cheap Windows laptops some fresh competition.
