The world of portable power stations is expanding by the day. Since things are getting crowded, it can be a challenge to find the right model for your power needs. If you're looking to keep your home online during the next power outage, check out this excellent bundle deal at Amazon.

As of March 3, the Anker Solix F3800 portable power station, BP3800 Expansion Battery, and 400W solar panel bundle is on sale at Amazon for $3,598.98, marked down from the list price of $7,397. That works out to a 51% discount that shaves a massive $3,798.02 off the price. It's also a new record-low price at Amazon for this bundle.

On its own, the Anker Solix F3800 is a solid option for powering up homes during an outage. It packs in a hefty 3.84kWh from long-lasting LiFePO4 batteries, and you'll get a 6,000W AC output. That level is capable of running tons of important appliances in your home like the refrigerator, microwave, and even some central AC units. It also helps that it's capable of 120 and 240V.

But today's bundle deal makes the Solix F3800 just that much more function. The BP3800 Expansion Battery doubles the power, bringing it up for 7.68kWh. Plus, Anker is bundling a 400W solar panel with these two batteries. So long as you have access to sunlight, you could be in line for unlimited power that's free, aside from the initial price.

That'll mean your backyard movie nights with a projector can take place while powering the air fryer to make movie snacks outside. It'll also prove its worth during summer RV trips if you'll be parking in an off-grid area.

Before this deal disappears, upgrade your home with this massive Anker Solix bundle while it's over half off. You'll be getting the Anker Solix F3800 portable power station, a BP3800 Expansion Battery, and a 400W solar panel for under $3,600.

SAVE $502: As of March 3, the Samsung 43-inch QN90F Neo QLED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for just $797.99. Usually $1,299.99, that's a savings of over $500 or nearly 40%.

If a fancy TV is on your wishlist, but you lack the space for a full 65-incher, Samsung's QN90F Neo QLED TV comes in a small 43-inch package. Plus, it's currently over $500 off.

As of March 3, the Samsung 43-inch QN90F Neo QLED 4K TV is on sale for just $797.99 at Amazon. That's a whopping $502 or nearly 40% off its list price. While Amazon has it originally listed for $1,197.99, that actually cuts the deal short a bit. If you check the actual list price at Samsung's own website, it's about $100 more. According to our favorite price-tracking tool, this is also a new all-time low price for this particular model.

Our sister site PCMag wrote in their review for the 65-inch version that the QN90F "is visually stunning and packed with features." However, it failed to secure the title of their Editors' Choice LED TV due to its extremely high cost. With this Amazon deal, that price is a whole lot more palatable.

As Mashable's shopping reporter Leah Stodart explains, "Neo QLED is really just Samsung's proprietary term for QLED paired with Mini LED." Translation: it features a panel of quantum dots over a bunch of tiny LED bulbs (rather than a basic LED panel). The result is a stunning display with spectacular color accuracy, deep black levels, and extremely impressive contrast that'll hold up in all kinds of lightning conditions.

SAVE $100: The 32-inch TCL Q3K QLED FHD TV is on sale for $99.99 as one of Best Buy's March 3 deals of the day. That's $100 off the originally $199.99 price tag.

There's simply too much good TV coming out recently to watch half of it on a crappy bedroom TV. (And Heated Rivalry and Bridgerton aren't exactly living room shows.) Upgrading doesn't have to involve choosing the cheapest small 4K TV — $100 will get you a 32-inch TCL QLED FHD TV if you grab it at Best Buy on March 3.

The TCL Q3K is a prime example of a budding trend I'm seeing: Small room TVs that are budget-friendly, but not a total throwaway purchase. The gorgeous 32-inch Hisense Deco TV is another good example, but its Best Buy sale price of $199.99 makes the $99.99 TCL deal look even better.

You don't come by a TV that's QLED but not 4K often. But if we're trying to keep costs down for a TV that's not your main one, the choice to sacrifice resolution (the 4K part) for a layer of quantum dots (the QLED part) makes sense.

Let's say most of your bedroom, kitchen, or garage TV watching happens while doing tasks in the daytime or casually at night before bed — you probably aren't that likely to notice slightly less crisp resolution if 4K is missing, but you'd definitely notice if the screen is borderline unwatchable in sunlight because the dim screen can't handle glare. The brightness, boosted color saturation, and contrast that QLED brings make it the obvious choice for bright and dark rooms over a regular LED TV, even if it's 4K.

Apple's big week continues as the company dropped a slew of new products on Tuesday. 

The biggest release? A new MacBook Pro with Apple's newest and most powerful chipsets, the M5 Pro and M5 Max.

The MacBook Pro with the M5 chip came out back in October, so the release of the M5 Pro and M5 Max was long overdue based on Apple's previous release cycles with its in-house Silicon chipset. Mashable gave the MacBook Pro M5 a stellar review, and these long-awaited MacBook Pros with the M5 Pro and M5 Max are basically just more powerful versions of that device for professional users with advanced computing needs.

MacBooks are getting more expensive

Before getting into the specs of these premium laptops, the first thing we should mention is that Apple has surprisingly raised MacBook Pro prices across the board. We're not just talking about the new MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips being more expensive than their predecessors with equivalent silicon. Today, Apple has also effectively raised the starting price of the MacBook Pro M5 that was released in October.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro M5 previously had a starting price of $1,599. Apple has raised the price by $100, bringing the new starting price to $1,699. Thankfully, Apple isn't asking consumers to just pay more for the same device. Apple has done away with the 512GB of storage option, making 1TB of storage the new base model. So, while Apple fans have to pay $100 more for a MacBook Pro, they're now getting double the storage.

Now, as for the newest members of the MacBook Pro family, the 14-inch M5 Pro starts at $2,199, which is $200 more than its M4 Pro predecessor, and comes with a 15-core CPU and a 16-core GPU. The 16-inch M5 Pro starts at $2,699, also $200 more than its M4 Pro predecessor, and comes with an 18-core CPU and a 20-core GPU. Both the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Pros come with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage in their base models.

By far the most expensive models are the ultra-powerful MacBook Pros with the M5 Max chipset. The 14-inch MacBook Pro M5 Max starts at $3,599, and the 16-inch M5 Max starts at a whopping $3,899. Both base models come with an 18-core CPU and a 32-core GPU and include 36GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.

MacBook Pro M5 Pro and M5 Max: Specs and performance upgrades Credit: Apple

According to Apple, the new MacBook Pro M5 Pro and M5 Max altogether provide up to four times the AI performance compared to the equivalent M4 chipsets and up to eight times the AI performance when compared to the M1 chips, Apple's first Silicon chipset, which came out in 2020.

The new MacBook Pros also include Apple's wireless networking chip called N1, which brings improved performance and reliability for wireless connections over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Apple says that the new MacBook Pros also boast two times faster SSD performance and up to 24 hours of battery life.

Now, as for the M5 Pro and M5 Max specific upgrades, users will see huge performance boosts in AI processing, video editing, 3D modeling, gaming, and more.

Apple says 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M5 Pro will see:

• Up to 7.8x faster AI image generation performance when compared to MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and up to 3.7x faster than MacBook Pro with M4 Pro. 

• Up to 6.9x faster LLM prompt processing when compared to MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and up to 3.9x faster than MacBook Pro with M4 Pro. 

• Up to 5.2x faster 3D rendering in Maxon Redshift when compared to MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and up to 1.4x faster than MacBook Pro with M4 Pro. 

• Up to 1.6x faster gaming performance with ray tracing in games like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition when compared to MacBook Pro with M4 Pro.

As for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with the M5 Max chip, Apple says that users will see:

• Up to 8x faster AI image generation performance when compared to MacBook Pro with M1 Max and up to 3.8x faster than MacBook Pro with M4 Max. 

• Up to 6.7x faster LLM prompt processing when compared to MacBook Pro with M1 Max and up to 4x faster than MacBook Pro with M4 Max. 

• Up to 5.4x faster video effects rendering performance in Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Studio when compared to MacBook Pro with M1 Max and up to 3x faster than MacBook Pro with M4 Max. 

• Up to 3.5x faster AI video-enhancing performance in Topaz Video when compared to MacBook Pro with M4 Max.

Along with Tuesday's MacBook Pro announcements, Apple also unveiled a new MacBook Air with the M5 chipset and a new Apple Studio Display.

The Google Pixel 10a is Google's latest addition to its affordable smartphone selection. The budget handset has a completely flat back as opposed to many smartphones, and comes in four different colors: Lavender, Berry, Fog, and Obsidian.

It boasts a 6.3-inch display with 1080 x 2424 resolution and a 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, with up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. Powered by the Google Tensor G4 processor, it's a zippy phone with a 5,100mAh battery, 8GB of RAM, and 128 or 256GB of storage depending on your configuration. Plus, it has a rear camera array with 48MP and 13MP options as well as a 13MP selfie camera.

If you're planning on grabbing a new phone already and this budget model looks like your style, best to grab it at Amazon where you can sweeten the deal with a gift card. You'l have to get it quickly if you want to lock in the deal, since the phone preorder window is rapidly closing.

Apple continued its "big week" of product launches on Tuesday by announcing new M5 MacBook Air laptops alongside upgraded MacBook Pros. They're set for release on Wednesday, March 11, and preorders open March 4.

The new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs have the same speedy M5 processor as last fall's 14-inch MacBook Pro. They now start with 512GB of storage, and they're configurable with up to 4TB for the first time.

Credit: Apple

The 512GB base models will retail for $1,099 and $1,299, respectively, which is the biggest news here. Those prices represent $100 discounts compared to the M4 MacBook Airs with the same amount of storage. They started with 256GB at $999; that configuration option is no longer available.

The M5 MacBook Airs have also added Apple's N1 wireless chip, which brings support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6.

Beyond that, this is a very iterative update. The M5 MacBook Airs have the same designs as their predecessors, retaining their aluminum builds, 60Hz Liquid Retina displays, 12MP Center Stage webcams, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and 18-hour battery life ratings. They still come in sky blue, midnight, starlight, and silver.

SEE ALSO: Apple expects high demand from its March 4 releases

The $1,099 starting price leaves plenty of room for Apple's rumored budget MacBook, which the company is expected to announce during its "special experience" in New York, London, and Shanghai tomorrow. For months, Apple forecasters have been predicting a low-cost MacBook that could compete with cheap Windows laptops.

Apple kicked off the week by announcing the iPhone 17e and M4 iPad Air on Monday. The new MacBook Pros it unveiled Tuesday alongside the Airs have upgraded M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

The high-value MTG Collector Booster Boxes don’t usually drop in price by massive amounts, but Walmart has subtly become the best place to pre-order the TMNT version.

As of March 3, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collector Booster Box (12 packs) is listed for $399.99 at Walmart. That’s not only $9.57 cheaper than Amazon’s current $409.56 preorder price, but also lands below TCGplayer’s $400.01 market price at the time of writing — and is much cheaper than any listings on the dedicated trading card selling platform.

The current lowest presale price there is $447.99 before shipping, which makes Walmart the most-budget-friendly option if you’re trying to lock in a fair preorder price.

For collectors, the appeal is the usual Collector Booster assortment — plus a TMNT twist. Each box includes 12 Collector Boosters, and each pack has 15 cards with 0-3 Surge Foils, 9-12 Traditional Foils, five rares or mythics, and a Full-Art land. There’s even a Borderless signature Kevin Eastman headliner card in under 1% of boosters.

Among other MTG deals, the Magic: The Gathering Bloomburrow Play Booster Box is still available for under $138 at Amazon. As for additional expansions, you can get three packs of Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Play Boosters for only $24.97.

TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box is listed for $95.81 at TCGplayer (plus shipping), edging just above market price and beating Amazon’s $114.95 listing by about $9.

If you’re a Pokémon TCG fan who has been holding out for a Perfect Order ETB that isn’t priced like a $200+ chase card, TCGplayer is currently the go-to option. As of March 3, preorders for the Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box are only $95.81 — a hair above the current market price of $95.68. Just keep in mind that shipping is added at checkout.

Even with shipping factored in, it still undercuts Amazon’s current $114.95 price, which is a rare win for a sealed Mega Evolution product this close to launch. Like other retailers, TCGplayer also notes this is a presale item with an estimated shipping date of March 27, 2026 (from the expansion’s official release date). So you’ll be locking in the price now and waiting for release-day fulfillment, offsetting any future price hikes that might come up in the next few weeks.

The Perfect Order ETB offers the same range you get from other Elite Trainer Boxes: nine booster packs of trading cards, 65 card sleeves, a player’s guide, dice/condition markers, a collector’s storage box with dividers, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

Compared to how Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Boxes are now selling for at least $120, getting this box for just over $105 is a solid deal by comparison. As we get closer to the expansion’s official release on March 27, we expect prices to go up once retailer stock sells out. 

For even lower-priced ETBs, you can also buy the Pokémon TCG’s Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Boxes for just under $90 at Walmart.

Google has announced a string of updates for Gemini for Home, including "Live Search" for Nest cameras.

Rolled out to U.S. devices in October and November and expanded globally in early 2026, Google's big AI-powered upgrade to Google Assistant has experienced ups and downs — namely, backlash around previously free features that are now paywalled behind a Google Home Premium subscription. However, it seems like Google is listening to feedback on at least the technical side of Gemini for Home, with another batch of improvements hitting the company's competitor to Amazon's Alexa.

On Monday, head of product for Google Home and Nest, Anish Kattukaran, posted on X about the latest updates coming to Google's AI voice assistant and Nest devices, from voice command fixes to location accuracy.

This is probably the most notable update that Kattukaran announced: A feature available only to Premium subscribers ($10 per month or $100 per year), "Live Search" will be added to Google's Nest cameras. This is different to Google's AI-powered "Search Live" feature, which lets smartphone users request real-time information with their phone camera.

With "Live Search," Kattukaran said you'll be able to "ask Gemini to understand the current state of your home" with questions like "Hey Google, is there a car in the driveway?" and if you have Nest cameras installed you'll get an update from Gemini. Exactly what this means for privacy and security remains to be seen, but honestly, it's been a rocky time for Big Tech and AI-powered cameras.

In another Nest upgrade, Google Home's integration with Yale Lock smart locks — where you can manage security measures like passcodes and guest access in the Home app — is out of beta and into general release. And Nest Wifi Pro, Google's mesh WiFi system, has upped performance and security.

Several updates relate to how users communicate with Google devices, with context improvements promised for asking Gemini general questions and giving everyday commands. A common complaint with Google Home users, getting cut-off while speaking, has also been addressed, with Kattukaran saying that the team has "significantly reduced these premature cut-offs to ensure Gemini correctly understands you, enabling smoother and more fluid turn-taking during live conversations."

There's also been an update to how Gemini understands the nuances of smart devices within the same room (like kitchen lights vs kitchen devices) and those with alternative names (you know you've named your lights something dumb). "Got a device uniquely named 'Table Glow'?" Kattukaran wrote. "Gemini now automatically knows it's a light based on manufacturer data, meaning it will correctly respond to 'turn on the lights' even without the word 'light' in its name."

Gemini for Home will apparently go harder on customising responses based on your home address, which you can set in the Google Home app as usual. This means when you're asking Google about the news and weather, it'll be more specific to your area (this is beneficial to people who share a Home account but might not always be under the same roof — people work, socialise, and travel).

According to Kattukaran, Google has also fixed command targeting so if you ask your device to turn off lights, for example, it will only do so in the location you're currently in (if you're a fancy pants with several houses and one Google Home account, this will be helpful to you).

Samsung's latest Galaxy Unpacked event was filled with plenty of announcements, including news of the brand new Galaxy S26 Ultra phone. If this sleek device has caught your eye, Samsung's treating customers who pre-order the phone to a bonus when they trade-in an eligible device.

Those interested in pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra from Samsung's online store can save up to $900 with an eligible trade-in, which will be credited from your final price. That's a pretty nice offer for a preorder, which starts at $1,299.99 for the 256GB model.

As with many of these trade-in offers, your device needs to be eligible to qualify. Thankfully, scrolling down to the "Samsung Trade-in" section on the page and clicking "Yes, trade-in" opens up a window where you can check your device's eligibility. The criteria includes its condition, which needs to be "Good" in order to get the full trade-in value. Here are those requirements:

• Device turns on and screen works normally

• Activation Locks are disabled, accounts are removed, and device is factory reset

• Charging port works and battery holds a charge

• Screen, body (front and back), and camera lens are free of cracks

• The device is not on a banned list

Alternatively, if you don't have a device to trade in, you can get $150 worth of Samsung Credit to use towards add-ons when you pre-order. These include earbuds, watches, tablets, select accessories, and select Samsung Care+ packages.

Mashable's Amanda Yeo was able to get hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and highlighted its new privacy display. She stated that she, "Found it remarkably effective — particularly its Maximum mode. Activating the Privacy display made the S26 Ultra's screen appear noticeably darker when viewed from wide angles, rendering it more difficult to read if not facing it head-on."

If you can't wait to get your hands on it, why not save a little cash when pre-ordering? Don't miss out on this great offer to save up to $900 with an eligible instant trade-in Credit when pre-ordering the Galaxy S26 Ultra at Samsung.

The one handy thing about having a president who spent years as a celebrity is that there's no shortage of old footage to draw on when you need a clip of them contradicting themselves after they start a war.

This is exactly what Jimmy Kimmel does in the clip above, digging out some footage of Donald Trump in 2011 saying he thinks Obama "will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate" and calling him "weak and ineffective."

"Well, look at that: another prediction he got right," says Kimmel, before sharing a 2012 tweet from Trump on the same topic: "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin — watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran," Trump wrote. "He is desperate."

"Well, I guess at least we know why he did this," says Kimmel.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're a neat freak.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
