The shift from in-office work to hybrid and even full-time work from home has been great for a lot of folks; it allows for greater flexibility, a better work-life balance, and healthier habits. It also gives job seekers greater choice when applying for jobs that would otherwise require a cross-country or cross-state move.

Of course, this major shift comes with some downsides as well. The art of working from home doesn’t jive with all types of workers. Some folks prefer being in an office setting in order to keep themselves accountable for getting their work done efficiently (see: no mid-afternoon naps). Others like the communal aspect of being around colleagues rather than relying on Slack to get their socialization throughout the workday.

It’s no secret that having a designated workspace that's clean and organized will make sitting down and getting to work a whole lot easier than, say, rolling out of bed, grabbing your laptop, and swan-diving right back into bed to get to work (we’ve been there!). But these days, there are also a ton of products and programs designed to make actually sitting down at a desk and getting into the zone that much easier.

That being said, working from home also gives you the ability to multitask and get things done for yourself and your family during your workday. Whether you’re hoping to get fit from home or you want to take advantage of your lunch hour to catch up on laundry, if you play your cards right, it’s pretty feasible to get a lot of shit done. That gives you more time to enjoy yourself once you do close down your laptop for the day.

“While working from home may seem like you'd get easily distracted, I find that working from home is a great way to block your day so that you can be even more motivated to get everything accomplished,” explained Olivia Dreizen Howell, co-founder and CEO of Fresh Starts Registry, certified life coach, and clinical hypnotherapist. “For example, I spend every morning doing a 15-minute timed sprint to write out the day's to-do list while listening to fast and uplifting music, and then will get up to walk around, throw laundry in, bring dishes to the sink, clean up the bathroom for 5 minutes, and then sit back down and transition to classical music or subliminal audios while I begin work!”

If you’re ready to boost your productivity and get the most out of working from home, we’ve got you covered. The following essentials were tested and reviewed by us, and they've proven to be some of the best WFH gear for upgrading your home office.

An incisive expression of family and culture that neither apologizes nor over-explains itself, Roshan Sethi's A Nice Indian Boy is a riotous, moving queer romantic comedy with a wildly unique premise. While it resembles many modern third-culture stories — specifically, tales of disconnect between first-generation South Asians in the West and their immigrant parents — it widens its scope in surprising ways that reflect and refract both personal and cinematic identity.

SEE ALSO: 2025 movie preview: All the films you'll want to know about

Taking inspiration from a romantic Bollywood classic, the film follows a gay Indian American doctor whose parents are nominally accepting, but who want him to find "a nice Indian boy." Long story short: He does! The immediate wrinkle, however, is that this nice Indian boy is none other than Jonathan Groff — yes, Hamilton's original King George — playing a white man raised by Indian parents. 

On one hand, A Nice Indian Boy is the tale of a typical Indian American family, with typical Indian American problems — a generational disconnect, gendered double standards, and a culture of awkward silence around sexuality — but on the other hand, its evolution into grand romantic saga is anything but typical. It's also a story of cross-cultural adoption that dovetails into not only a hilariously awkward meet-the-parents comedy, but also a film about freeing oneself from emotional and generational baggage, in a way that yields tears of joy and laughter.

What is A Nice Indian Boy about? Credit: Blue Harbor Entertainment

Dr. Naveen Gavaskar (Deadpool's Karan Soni) is the kind of realistic queer protagonist seldom seen in Hollywood: an introverted gay man who'd rather be at home than at the club — or in the case of the movie's opening scene, at his sister's colorful wedding reception. As the guests dance to thumping tunes, and the camera tilts and spins to capture them, Naveen sits still, fending off over-enthusiastic family members whose words of marital encouragement sound more like a dire warning: "You're next!"

What Naveen's nosy aunties and uncles don't know, and what his parents begrudgingly accept, is that his wedding won't quite look like a Hindi movie, since he happens to be into guys.

Six years go by — notably, the amount of time between Sethi coming out and the film's premiere — and Naveen's life away from his parents is somewhat content, even though it involves lonely nights of leaving exes and crushes some uncomfortably awkward voice messages. He has absolutely no game, despite the efforts of his outgoing gay colleague Paul (Peter S. Kim) to bring him out of his shell. But the gods eventually smile on him when he comes across an attractive white photographer, Jay Kurundkar (Groff), at his local mandir (or temple) while praying to a statue of Ganesh, the elephant-headed Hindu god of wisdom and good luck.

Two things immediately stand out about Jay: his tranquil charm, and his authentic pronunciation of "Ganesh" — with an extended "e" as in "lace," rather than the protracted "e" of words like "less," to which most Westerners default. Naveen is immediately flustered by Jay's confident stares, but agrees to accompany him on a date to his favorite movie, which, to the good doctor's surprise, turns out to be Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (or DDLJ), the iconic 1995 Bollywood romance about two star-crossed Indian Londoners, whose musical centerpiece features superstar Shah Rukh Khan serenading actress Kajol in a field of yellow mustard flowers.

But instead of being bowled over by this gesture, Naveen finds himself unable to fully embrace the film or Jay's off-key crooning of its famous track, "Tujhe Dekha To" (yes, Groff sings it himself, with barely a syllable out of place). Sincerity and vulnerability remain obstacles to Naveen, even after he and Jay start dating. This proves mildly problematic when meeting each other's friends, but it's downright disastrous when the question of Jay meeting Naveen's parents arises, given how little he's told them about his white, freelance photographer boyfriend who vapes and waxes poetic about Hindi cinema.

The results are as side-splitting as they are disheartening, because the one lesson A Nice Indian Boy takes from DDLJ is that Indian romantic films are family dramas too. However, what initially seems hopeless ends up an exciting challenge, because Jay has also internalized this lesson. And, like Shah Rukh Khan's brash Raj Malhotra, he'll stop at nothing to win over the parents of the person he loves.

The film, written by Eric Randall, is based on the play by Madhuri Shekar, and it has the structure of a five-act play, with each section broken up by significant time jumps. This ends up serving a dual purpose. On one hand, this shifts the typical feel-good rom-com climax to the middle of the story, away from its usual place in most three-act Hollywood screenplays, where it serves as a resolution. In the process, A Nice Indian Boy allows for the realities of long-term romance and wedding planning to creep in through the corners of the frame, beyond the broad declarations of love.

On the other hand, it also allows each member of Naveen's family to have their own dedicated section of the movie, during which they become a primary character. Like Naveen, his sister Arundhathi (Sunita Mani) harbors a grudge against their parents for the choices she did and didn't have while growing up, including in matters of love, and she sees their increased leeway with Naveen as a matter of grave injustice. Meanwhile, their outspoken mother Megha (Zarna Garg) tries to smooth things over with both children, but since she's just as hot-headed as her daughter, it's easier said than done. In terms of temperament, Naveen takes after his father Archit (Harish Patel), though his silent acceptance of Naveen's sexuality — while avoiding eye contact at all cost — hurts more than outright disapproval. Like his son, Archit has a problem with expressing himself honestly.

However, Megha and Archit's genuine attempts to bridge the gap between themselves and Naveen also leads to some uproarious overcompensation, between the topics they bring up in Jay's presence without any filter whatsoever, to their sincere attempts to educate themselves by binging raunchy reality shows on OutTV and bringing them up in conversation. It's incredibly funny and incredibly sweet, but none of these superficial gestures — no matter how well-meaning — are a substitute for the real emotional work the Gavaskar family needs.

The film doesn't let Naveen off the hook either, whether it comes to his avoidance of intimacy or the walls he keeps up between him and his family members. Those walls only start to come down after some rigorous and difficult dramatic moments, which Sethi directs with incredible command.

The film's premise resembles a number of third-culture films and shows featuring South Asians in the West, like The Big Sick, Ms. Marvel, and Blinded by the Light. These stories of artistically driven first-gen kids and their immigrant parents who "just don't understand" have settled into a rote rhythm in recent years. A fellow SXSW selection, the lukewarm The Queen of My Dreams, is a key example: a similarly Bollywood-inspired tale of a queer Pakistani Canadian who nominally reconciles with her conservative mother. It's rarely a good sign when you can map out the beats of a story based on its cultural premise, but A Nice Indian Boy finds numerous visual and thematic ways to buck that trend.

SEE ALSO: Bollywood's dad, Anupam Kher, on the unique warmth of 'The Big Sick'

It stands out, first and foremost, through its bustling visual energy, which not only captures the chaos and excitement constantly unfolding around Naveen — at weddings, family meetings, or parties hosted by Jay's outgoing friends — but also serves to magnify his glum stillness as the camera pushes in and pulls out prominently during both comedy beats and charged emotional moments. The film's comedy and drama stem from the same place: the tension of expectations, whether it involves Naveen wrestling with his prescribed role as an Indian man in the West; the implications of his queerness, according to his parents; or how Jay will fit into the Gavaskars' family dynamic.

What Jay yearns for, as a perpetual outsider who found love in an Indian household once before, is just as vital to the movie as Naveen's search for emotional authenticity. And when the film begins drawing more overtly from Bollywood iconography, it weaves together its grandiose romance from both their perspectives. To Jay, Hindi cinema is the ultimate expression of love and acceptance. To Naveen, it's a cheesy façade. The truth, it turns out, may lie somewhere in between, with Sethi presenting the story's key turning points as stylistic handshakes between formal grandeur and naturalistic, self-aware comedy, without compromising either character’s point of view. The movie's sweeping declarations are as bold and unapologetic as they are goofy and silly, so they end up running the emotional gamut.

Rarely has a rom-com been this simultaneously hysterical and touching, though despite its boisterous tone, its biggest strength may very well be its silent moments. The father-son pairing of Naveen and Archit tend to find solace in silence, and that isn't likely to change anytime soon. So, in order to draw them out of their comfort zones, A Nice Indian Boy becomes a film about gestures both big and small. Its most heartrending moments arrive in the form of these two men — separated by generational disconnect, but bound by common cultural expectations — adapting to other people's modes of expression in the small ways they're able to. Over the course of the film, they learn to speak other people's love languages, leading to rousing, overwhelming moments (some of them in delightful musical form). 

In a just world, A Nice Indian Boy would find instant distribution and be hailed alongside Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding as a realistic family portrait whose jagged edges aren't just riveting, but revelatory. It's as sweet and funny as they come, and the kind of crowd-pleaser destined to leave your heart feeling full.

What if all the hysteria about Y2K was valid? In 1999, as the clocks ticked down to the new millennium, there was a global fear that a computer coding shortcut could result in widespread tech issues, disrupting life as we know. That didn't happen, but Saturday Night Live alum Kyle Mooney's directorial debut Y2K asks the question: What if it did though? 

Studded with young stars like It's Jaeden Martell, Hunt for the Wilderpeople's Julian Dennison, West Side Story's Rachel Zegler, and Stranger Things' Eduardo Franco, sci-fi comedy Y2K's core story is about what a nightmare it is to be a teen with a crush. But is boatloads of nostalgia, goofy gore, and massive amounts of dopey jokes enough to make this comedy come together? 

Y2K is Terminator, but stupid. 

Written by Evan Winter, Y2K centers on two high school besties, who are way outside the cool kid clique. But one New Year's Eve, goofball Danny (Dennison) convinces wallflower Eli (Martell) that now is the time to get noticed by crashing a house party. While Eli's fumbling to get the attention of beautiful hacker Laura (Zegler), Danny is karaokeing raucously to Sisqó's "Thong Song" and getting the attention he's long craved. But as the clock strikes midnight, computers rebel as AI goes evil, going on a comedic killing spree in which everything from ceiling fans and microwaves to Tamagotchis can be a weapon. The midnight slaughter sequence is as outrageous as it is hilarious. 

Featured Video For You Why you're wrong about Y2K, 20 years later

The sci-fi logic of the film is basically non-existent, though Zegler's Laura is saddled with a series of hacker exposition dumps that half-heartedly set up some rules. But Y2K refuses to take science-fiction seriously. The premise is an excuse to goof on 2000s culture and chuck some teen archetypes into silly shenanigans. So Eli reluctantly leads a motley band of survivors out of this house of horrors and into a plan to save not just their high school but the whole world. 

Y2K is radiant in '00s nostalgia. 

Much like PEN15, Y2K plunges audiences back into a time where AIM away messages were pretentious poetry, dial-up squawked, T-shirts were worn inexplicably oversized, and burning CDs was a meaningful tool of self-expression. The opening sequence is littered with such nostalgic '00s details, which aptly set the era and earned much laughter and cheers from the SXSW audience at the film's world premiere. Props to Mooney for crafting such a crowd-pleasing beginning, but upon reflection, there's few actual jokes there. It's all about the joy of recognition, which could mean this comedy won't play for Gen Z at all, despite their recent Y2K revival.

Other references play a bigger role in the plot, like Danny learning Tae-Bo via Billy Blanks' once unavoidable workout videos and a musician cameo that — while funny and surprising — wears out its welcome by beating the same joke into the ground. Actually, that's a bit of a recurring problem. Mooney doesn't have a great sense of when enough is enough so several bits drag, making the movie feel a bit meandering even at one hour and thirty-three minutes. But the bigger issue is Y2K hangs itself on its least interesting character. 

Julian Dennison outshines Jaeden Martell. 

Winter's script is woefully lazy in developing Martell's Eli as a character. Established as shy and vaguely nerdy (he likes computer games and modifying action figures), Eli is identifiable as the lovestruck nerd archetype. However, he's not weird enough to be interesting in this world where electronics are suddenly transforming into gnarly killing machines. Likewise his crush Laura is regarded as extraordinary because she's pretty, popular, and into computers while being a girl. There's admittedly a self-awareness in other characters pointing out this supposed dissonance, but Y2K doesn't go any deeper into Laura's personality. So the jokes at her expense are more a lampshade of the issue rather than challenging it. 

Where the teen comedy aspect comes alive is in Danny as the charismatic wild card bestie, Franco as a rock-rap-loving bully, and Lachlan Watson as a surly alt chick. But sadly, the script sidelines them for way too much of the movie. While Zegler has undeniable screen presence, Martell offers a blank stare for much of the movie that just squashes its emotional pull. The frantic action and spurts of bright-red blood helps revive the movie's chaotic energy, but you might wish that Dennison had been given more to do here. The New Zealand actor is a dynamo, and it’s a shame to see him shunted to the side in a quirky bestie role. 

As a first watch, Y2K is a lot of fun. Its teen cast overall has terrific energy, and a supporting cast that includes Alicia Silverstone, Tim Heidecker, and Mooney — as a burnout video store clerk — brings welcomed microdoses of weirdness. The celebration of all things '00s is undeniably charming, even if used superficially. Jokes come fast and frantic, so even if some don't land, there's plenty of laughs to be had. But on reflection, the movie suffers under its lack of emotional depth. This is a solid stoner comedy, gleefully dumb and unapologetically wacky. But as a teen comedy, Y2K lacks the emotional awareness of classics like Clueless, the original Mean Girls, or Superbad. 

In short, Y2K is a good time, but falls short of greatness. 

Y2K is now streaming on Max.

Michael Shannon's directorial debut Eric LaRue isn't a ghost story, but it feels like one.

Eric (Nation Sage Henrikson) is absent from much of the film, yet his presence haunts every scene. It haunts his mother Janice (Judy Greer) as she folds his clothes to give away. It haunts his father Ron (Alexander Skarsgård) as he reminisces on past father-son vacations. But they know — and we know — that Eric isn't dead. He's in prison for the murder of three of his classmates.

Eric's act of violence is not the focus of Eric LaRue. Instead, Shannon and screenwriter Brett Neveu (who also wrote the play on which the film is based) examine the aftermath of Eric's crime, especially his parents' differing attempts to process what their son has done. What follows is an aching exploration of grief and religion, all anchored by a stunning performance from the always-great, often-underused Greer.

In the time since Eric shot three of his classmates, his parents have taken different paths when it comes to healing. Janice has isolated herself, but her discussions with her Presbyterian pastor Calhan (Paul Sparks) have convinced her to take some steps forward, like returning to work. Ron's approach also involves religion, albeit at a different church. He goes to Redeemer, where he is anointed by pastor Verne (Tracy Letts) and attends prayer groups with his beautiful, bubbly coworker Lisa Graff (Alison Pill).

Ron's time at Redeemer has made him optimistic, seemingly joyful, even. He tells Janice that prayer can heal any trial, and encourages Janice to let Jesus take her burdens from her forever. Janice doesn't want to let go, caught up in her own complicated feelings. Even though he isn't dead, the son she knew is gone. Is she allowed to mourn in her own way, even in the face of what he's done? Or is she to blame for his actions?

Her journey towards far-off closure begins with Calhan's suggestion that he facilitate a meeting between her and the mothers of the dead boys. Calhan means well, attempting to get Janice to talk over card games and supermarket banter. However, he's not remotely equipped to handle the emotion once these grieving women come face to face.

Calhan's meeting is a source of tension between Janice and Ron, who wants Janice to attend a similar meeting presided over by Verne. Where Calhan is soft, Verne is more of a hard-line preacher. In a menacing scene, he uses scripture to tell Ron to control Janice. From there, the conflict between the two parents only grows — a change Shannon often showcases effectively by framing Janice and Ron in different rooms in the same shot.

Greer has always been a talented actor, often taking on comedic roles or side characters. With Eric LaRue, it is so satisfying to watch her take on such a demanding lead. As Janice, she is at her most raw and most devastating, especially in scenes when she meets with the mothers of the dead students. Later, when she visits Eric and tries to drag some impossible answer out of him, she heads into darker territory with devastating naturalness.

Skarsgård and Pill also turn in great work, with Skarsgård getting some uneasy laughs from Ron's penchants for offering neck massages and Pill transforming Lisa's religious fervor into something almost terrifying. Their scenes together simmer with uncomfortable chemistry, as well as their joint obsession over their experience with Redeemer. Filling out Eric LaRue's cast of religious characters are Letts and Sparks as two sides of the same coin: one chilling but assuring, the other supportive yet out of his depth.

The play Eric LaRue was originally staged in 2002, but in the years since, its portrayal of a town in the wake of a school shooting has gained even more relevance. So too have its links between the reaction to the shooting and religion, which calls to mind the oft-repeated refrain of "thoughts and prayers" that follows every act of gun violence.

Shannon and Neveu don't focus on the larger political implications of Eric's crime, nor do they necessarily answer the tough questions Eric LaRue lays out. What they do do, however, is create a painful, intimate, and thought-provoking portrait of a deeply hurting couple. And in assembling such a stellar cast led by the remarkable Greer, they've embodied that portrait onscreen to the fullest.

Eric LaRue opens in theaters April 4.

UPDATE: Apr. 2, 2025, 3:40 p.m. Eric LaRue was reviewed out of its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. This review was first published on June 14, 2023, and it has been updated in anticipation of its theatrical release.

In FX's Dying for Sex, one woman's quest for her first orgasm with another person becomes a remarkable journey of both self-discovery and reckoning with death.

SEE ALSO: Should you sign up for Hulu? Our film critics weigh in.

The miniseries is based on the Dying for Sex podcast, hosted by actor Nikki Boyer (who executive produces the series) and her friend Molly Kochan (Michelle Williams). While the series is a fictionalized account of Molly's life, it does take the same starting point: After being diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, Molly leaves her husband Steve (Jay Duplass) and explores her own sexual desires in ways she never thought possible.

Naturally, this means Dying for Sex is full of frank portrayals of sex, be it awkward, revelatory, pleasurable, or (usually) a combination of all three. But these experiences, as life-affirming as they are for Molly, share space with honest conversations about mortality. That makes for a potent, tear-jerking combination, one that Dying for Sex still somehow manages to lighten in a remarkable balancing act.

As Dying for Sex introduces Molly and Steve in couples' therapy, it's clear her decision to leave him has been a long time coming. After her first bout with breast cancer, treatment for which included a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction, Molly wants to be intimate with her husband again. But Steve no longer feels that desire. When Molly does initiate oral sex, he becomes too sad to continue. He pities her, and when Molly receives the diagnosis of metastatic cancer, she realizes Steve seems excited for her to once again be pitiable. Meanwhile, Molly just doesn't want to die without being touched or feeling sexual pleasure again.

Upon making that realization, Molly leaves Steve and turns to her best friend Nikki (Jenny Slate) to be her new caretaker. With Nikki's support, and with the advice to start a "bucket list" from her sex-positive palliative care social worker Sonya (Esco Jouléy), it's not long before Molly submerges herself in a new world of sex, revelling in everything from dating app dick pics to submission and dominance.

Many people in Molly's life, including Steve and her mother Gail (Sissy Spacek), judge Molly for her exploration, even going so far as to "blame" it on childhood trauma. But Dying for Sex has no interest in pathologizing Molly's wants, even though later episodes do somewhat clumsily emphasize how her trauma has affected her intimate experiences as an adult.

Instead, Dying for Sex launches Molly into a judgment-free rollercoaster ride of human sexuality. She experiments with vibrators, goes to sex parties (that are also potlucks!), and learns about new kinks with a variety of partners, including her hot neighbor (Rob Delaney). The scenes are understandably raunchy, but also full of communication about limits and boundaries. One such conversation — about orgasm torture, specifically — takes place in a crowded cafe, just one of many scenes where Dying for Sex finds humor by placing discussions of intimate desires in mundane surroundings. Williams' bright-eyed curiosity and excitement about the subjects at hand adds further lightness to the series, emphasizing Molly's open embrace of a world she'd previously denied herself.

But Dying for Sex's sex scenes can be heartbreaking, too. Molly spends much of the series trying to prevent people from reducing her to her cancer, even going so far as to join a support group for people with earlier stages of cancer in order to separate herself from her terminal diagnosis. That mentality extends to the bedroom as well. She hides her cancer from her partners and chooses to keep her bra on to hide her mastectomy scars, each decision a reminder of why she's on this road to sexual enlightenment in the first place.

Also heartbreaking are Molly's early attempts at post-Steve sex. Often, she finds she can't voice what she want, or she doesn't even know what feels good. But as Dying for Sex continues and Molly discovers what turns her on, those desires snap into place. Thankfully, the series takes as candid and forthright an approach to depicting those desires as Molly is in communicating them.

Amidst all the sex, Dying for Sex fashions a gorgeous, heart-wrenching love story. Not with any of Molly's partners — although her relationship with Delaney's neighbor character may grow to fit that bill — but with Nikki.

That's because as Molly is forging new connections with her partners, she's also strengthening her bond with Nikki. Thrust suddenly into the role of caretaker, Nikki gets off to a tough start when it comes to helping Molly with her medical needs, especially with Steve breathing down her neck. Yet just as Molly settles into her search for new sexual experiences, Nikki soon finds her footing in a world of insurance claims and medical records.

That adjustment doesn't mean Nikki's responsibilities aren't difficult. In fact, people in her life keep telling her to set boundaries with Molly — perhaps a parallel to people like Steve who doubt Molly's sex quest. Yet like Molly, Nikki holds firm. Her best friend is dying, after all, and she's going to do everything she can to get her solid care (and help her find a way to get off).

Dying for Sex is likely going to be a tough watch for anyone who has experienced cancer or who has watched a loved one go through it. I sobbed through quite a bit of it, and much of that came down to the chemistry between Williams and Slate. As a duo, they oscillate between gallows humor and genuine heartbreak at a moment's notice, a dichotomy that feels so natural you can't believe you've only been watching their takes on Molly and Nikki for a few episodes. You also can't believe that their friendship will one day come to an end, but Dying for Sex faces that inevitability head on, as honest about death as it is about sex.

"I told [Steve] I don't want to die with him," Molly tells Nikki in the show's premiere. "I want to die with you."

It's that simple statement, and all the beautiful, terrible baggage that comes with it, that forms the foundation of Dying for Sex, paving the way for Molly and Nikki's messy journey through death, sex, and everything in between.

All episodes of Dying for Sex premiere April 4 on Hulu.

SAVE $400: As of April 4, HP Victus 15.6-inch Full HD gaming laptop is on sale for $449.99 at Best Buy. That’s a $400 discount off its regular $849.99 price.

$849.99 Save $400 Get Deal

For a machine with gaming in its DNA, the HP Victus 15 is weirdly humble. No flashing lights, no over-the-top branding, just clean silver lines and surprisingly solid specs. Right now, it’s only $449.99 at Best Buy, which is wild considering it’s usually $849.99. That’s a full $400 off, and I think it’s one of the best entry-level gaming laptop deals I’ve seen this season.

This thing runs on an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS chip, paired with Radeon RX 6550M graphics. I wouldn’t throw it into a 4K ray-tracing battle, but for smooth 1080p gameplay, it’s more than capable. Throw in 8GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD, and you’ve got a machine that boots fast, multitasks smoothly, and handles your Steam backlog without begging for mercy.

And the screen? It’s 144Hz Full HD with AMD FreeSync Premium. Translation: smoother gameplay, no screen tearing, and a way better experience than most laptops at this price point deserve to offer. I also appreciate that HP includes a backlit keyboard and a wide-vision HD camera, so you're not stuck looking like a pixelated ghost during late-night Discord calls.

• Price: $449.99 $849.99

• Retailer: Best Buy

• Display: 15.6-inch Full HD (1920x1080), 144Hz, anti-glare IPS

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS

• Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6550M, 4GB GDDR6

• Memory: 8GB DDR5

• Storage: 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD

• Operating System: Windows 11 Home

• Battery Features: HP Fast Charge (50% in ~30 mins)

• Wireless: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3

• Ports/Extras: Backlit keyboard, wide-angle HD camera, Game Pass trial

It charges to 50% in about 30 minutes, has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and a touchpad that isn’t the size of a postage stamp. I could nitpick the 8GB RAM (which you’ll want to upgrade eventually), but honestly? For under $500, the Victus 15 is punching above its class.

If you’ve been waiting for a gaming laptop that doesn’t require a payment plan, I think this is your green light.

SAVE $30.10: As of April 4, CMF Watch Pro Smartwatch is available for $38.90 at Amazon. That’s 44% off its usual $69.00 list price.

Sometimes a deal drops that makes me do a double take, then open three tabs just to make sure I’m not hallucinating. This is one of those. CMF Watch Pro is currently just $38.90 on Amazon, which is absurd when you factor in what this little wrist computer actually does.

I mean, 1.96 inches of AMOLED display is already way more screen than most budget watches dare to offer. It’s crisp, it’s bright, and it doesn’t look like you’re wearing a plastic calculator from the '90s. I like that. It’s also IP68 waterproof, which means you don’t have to baby it when it rains or during sweaty workouts. If your lifestyle includes walking fast enough to break a sweat, congrats — this one’s built for you.

Let’s talk about the health tracking. I don’t expect perfection from a sub-$40 smartwatch, but this one checks heart rate, sleep stages, blood oxygen, and even tries to read your stress levels. I can't vouch for its emotional intelligence, but it does keep tabs on your pulse when your boss sends that “quick follow-up” email.

• Price: $38.90 $69.00

• Retailer: Amazon

• Display: 1.96-inch AMOLED

• Operating System: Wear OS

• Connectivity: Bluetooth

• Special Features: Bluetooth calling with AI noise reduction, multi-system GPS, heart rate and sleep tracking

• Water Resistance: IP68

• Color Options: Ash Grey (featured), Black Grey, Silver

• Compatible Devices: iOS and Android

There’s also built-in GPS that doesn’t require tethering to your phone, so your runs and hikes aren’t tied to your pocket. Bluetooth calling is onboard, and it even comes with AI noise reduction, which is basically code for “you won’t sound like you’re calling from a wind tunnel.”

This isn’t an Apple Watch killer. Let’s not get wild. But for less than 40 bucks, I’d argue it’s punching far above its price bracket. I think it’s a no-brainer for anyone who wants the smartwatch basics without the price tag that usually comes with them.

SAVE $185: As of April 4, Samsung 990 PRO 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD is on sale for $279.99 at Amazon. That’s a 40% discount, shaving $185 off its $464.99 list price.

A 4TB SSD that moves files at lightning speed and doesn’t cost half your paycheck? Yeah, I want that. Samsung 990 PRO SSD is the kind of upgrade I’d actually recommend to my friends — and not just the ones who know what NVMe means. Amazon’s current price drop brings it down to $279.99, a 40% discount that saves you $185. For a premium PCIe Gen4 drive, that’s kind of wild.

I think the biggest appeal here is that it does everything fast. Load times? Gone. File transfers? Blink and you’ll miss them. It maxes out read speeds at 7,450 MB/s and write speeds at 6,900 MB/s, which is essentially "hold my beer" territory for most other drives. It’s also 55% better at random performance than the 980 PRO, and it manages to sip power like it’s being judged in a conservation contest.

I’m not saying you need 4TB of space for gaming, editing, or hoarding 4K drone footage — but if you’ve ever had to delete a game to install another, then yes, you probably do. Plus, it's compatible with laptops, desktops, and even PS5s if you're doing a bit of console customizing.

• Price: $279.99 $464.99

• Retailer: Amazon

• Digital Storage Capacity: 4TB

• Interface: PCIe 4.0 NVMe

• Sequential Read Speed: Up to 7,450 MB/s

• Sequential Write Speed: Up to 6,900 MB/s

• Form Factor: M.2 2280

• Encryption: AES 256-bit

• Special Features: V-NAND Flash Technology, Power Efficiency Boost

• Compatible Devices: Laptops, PCs, Macs, and PS5 (with adapter)

The no-heatsink version on sale is perfect for clean builds or systems that already manage heat well. If you’re worried about thermals, the version with a heatsink is also on sale for a little more.

This is one of those “treat yourself” upgrades that actually makes sense. I think it’s a deal that delivers speed, space, and sanity in equal measure. And at this price? It's a power move, plain and simple.

DC Studios has released a sneak peek of Superman, in which the historical personification of truth, justice, and the American way plummets to the ground, beat up, bloody, and wheezing for help. It feels apt.

Superman stars David Corenswet as the titular Man of Steel, who's feeling markedly less steel-like than usual in this new clip (which we saw hints of in a previous trailer). Fortunately, his canine companion Krypto is just a whistle away, and willing to literally drag Supes to safety — though not before getting a few enthusiastic hits in himself. It seems that no matter which planet they come from, there's little you can do to stop an excited dog from joyfully jumping on their owner.

Directed by James Gunn, the film will also feature Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

Superman arrives in theatres July 11.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Did Nintendo bump up the price of its upcoming Switch 2 due to Trump's tariffs? It seems like that could be the case.

The entire stock market has been thrown into turmoil following President Donald Trump's implementation of across-the-board "reciprocal" tariffs on April 2. Trump waited until after the markets closed on Wednesday so the full force of his tariffs announcement wasn't felt until the following day.

Tech stocks like Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia have been hit especially hard by Trump's tariffs. On Wednesday, for example, Apple stock fell 9.2 percent. Other tech stocks, such as Microsoft, were down between 2 percent and 9 percent.

While a "baseline" 10 percent minimum tariff has been put on goods coming in from any country, Trump has implemented a much larger tariff on the U.S.'s biggest trade partners like China and Taiwan. Many tech companies, such as Apple, manufacture their products in those countries thus those companies will be forced to pay a much higher tariff and, in turn, likely pass on those additional costs to customers.

SEE ALSO: The internet reacts to Trump’s tariffs with dark humor: 'girl the tariffs'

Trump imposed a 32 percent tariff on goods from Taiwan, for example. As for China, Trump hit them with a 34 percent tariff. However, China's reciprocal tariff is in addition to an existing 20 percent tariff on goods from the country.

So, what does that mean for consumers? Your favorite tech products are about to get more expensive. In fact, there was already speculation among analysts following Nintendo's Switch 2 announcement yesterday that the gaming company had priced the new console at $450 with Trump's incoming tariffs in mind.

Trump claims he implemented the tariffs to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Trump even specifically mentioned Apple in his speech.

“Apple is going to spend $500 billion, they never spent money like that here,” Trump said. “They’re going to build their plants here.”

However, Apple isn't going to start building its consumer-facing products like the iPhone here in the U.S. Its investment is in building servers in the U.S. And even that is years away, as companies like Apple still need to set up their manufacturing plants and factories in the U.S.

So, in the near future, it's very likely that you'll be paying more for — a lot more — for your favorite new tech. And tech stocks — and the stock market as a whole — will likely continue to suffer as a result of consumers having less spending money.

Liam Neeson takes the reins from Leslie Nielsen in 2025's The Naked Gun reboot, and the teaser trailer promises that the Taken star is here for an outrageously good time.

The film, directed by Akiva Schaffer (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and produced by Seth MacFarlane, stars Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., who's following in his father's footsteps and leading Police Squad.

The Naked Gun's teaser trailer opens with a bank robbery. Dastardly criminals hold the bank hostage while law enforcement waits outside. Yet somehow, a small schoolgirl manages to slip past the barricades and make it into the crime scene.

As it turns out, the schoolgirl is no schoolgirl at all. She rips off her face mask (and grows several feet) in order to transform into Frank, who proceeds to wreak havoc in the bank. In yet another plot twist, Frank's lollipop is no run-of-the-mill sucker either: It's a weapon, perfect for stabbing and stunning! Neeson makes lollipop law enforcement look easy, even in a too-small schoolgirl uniform.

The rest of the teaser features a gag where all the current Police Squad members pay tribute to their fathers, from Nielsen's Lt. Drebin to George Kennedy's Capt. Hocken. Check out the full trailer above, and stay tuned until the end for a fourth-wall break about OJ Simpson's role as Det. Nordberg.

The Naked Gun also stars Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston.

The Naked Gun hits theaters Aug. 1.

Nintendo finally unveiled more details about the Switch 2 this week, including its sticker price. The forthcoming console will cost $449.99 on its own, or $499.99 as part of a Mario Kart World bundle when it launches on June 5. Say it with me now: Ouch.

According to Mashable's Alex Perry, who played Switch 2 for a few hours at a press demo, the system is still a "must-buy" for its performance bump, larger 1080p display, and the ethernet port in its revamped dock. "[Behind] all the price discourse and hardware gimmicks is a device that feels like a huge step up from its predecessor in almost every way," Perry writes. Still, one can be forgiven for not want to drop $450+ on what is ultimately a luxury item in this economy.

Fortunately, there's a relatively easy way for consumers to take a respectable chunk out of the Switch 2's price, and that's by trading in an older Switch system. (No need to hang onto it if you still want to play Switch 1 games: Backwards compatibility is a go on the Switch 2.) GameStop had the best trade-in deal at the time of writing, offering up to $175 off a Switch 2 preorder when you relinquish a previous-gen console now through April 30.

More specifically, GameStop will give you $175 in store credit for an OLED Switch, $120 for a standard Switch (V1 or V2), and $100 for a Switch Lite. GameStop Pro members get 10% more credit. Bear in mind that those numbers hinge on the older system being in good condition and including all of its components — i.e., the dock, AC adapter, HDMI cable, and both Joy-Con.

GameStop's offers easily beat other Switch trade-in deals at competing retailers. For comparison's sake, Best Buy will give you $90 for an OLED Switch and only $20 for a Switch or Switch Lite. At Target, you can get $25 for a Switch Lite and $20 for a regular Switch.

Switch 2 preorders begin April 9 at participating retailers and May 8 through the My Nintendo Store, which will send out staggered batches of preorder invites via email (with priority given to active Nintendo Switch Online members).

Apple released the first beta of iOS 18.5 on Wednesday. It's not super exciting, but there is a helpful Mail app feature for people who don't like change.

As expected, not much is new. Most of the promised iOS 18 features have already been shipped. Plus, as Apple gears up for WWDC on June 9, the company's focus has turned to the upcoming iOS 19 announcement.

SEE ALSO: iOS 18.4 developer beta released — here's what you can expect

So that's left us with a few minor features for the iOS 18.5 beta. That said, versions of the incumbent iOS always continue to be released up until the next iOS takes over, so there's still a chance we might see some noteworthy new features in the 11th hour.

But for now, here's what's new.

It's easier to revert back to the old Mail interface

With the iOS 18.5 beta, you can toggle on or off the display of Contact Photos. There's also a quick way to turn on or off Mail categorization.

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

In the iOS 18.2 update a new feature automatically sorted emails into categories based on priority: Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions. Now by tapping the three dot icon in the upper righthand corner, you can revert back to the previous interface by turning off Group by Sender, or by selecting List View instead of Categories.

AppleCare is front and center

AppleCare, its warranty and technical support program, is now featured more prominently in two places. When you tap on AppleCare and Warranty from General, there's a banner at the top of the page with an option to learn more about the coverage.

If you're an AppleCare subscriber, when you go to Device Info from the Apple Account setting, there's a new AppleCare section that you can tap into and manage your plan from there.

How to install the iOS 18.5 developer beta

If you want to explore the new iOS 18.5 updates for yourself, you can install the developer beta by enrolling in the Beta Software Program. Once you do that, you'll be able to install the update from the Software Update page.

But make sure to backup your phone first and be aware that it might be buggy since betas are for testing purposes. Here's a detailed guide on how to install the iOS 18 beta.

TL;DR: Through 27 April, save A$111 on 10TB of lifetime cloud storage with Internxt using code STORAGE20 at checkout (reg. A$555).

There are few things more annoying than getting hit with "Storage full - upgrade now" notifications when you’re just trying to upload a few more photos. Sure, you could pay for more space, but then you’re getting sucked even deeper into the subscription world. Here’s a new option: lifetime cloud storage.

Not only will you never have to worry about monthly or yearly subscription costs, but you can also purchase storage plans from Internxt that are so big you’ll probably never fill them up. How does 10TB of cloud space sound? Secure it for life using code STORAGE20 at checkout, dropping the price from A$555 to A$444 until 27 April.

(Almost) unlimited storage

With 10TB of cloud storage, you can fit about two million photos, 100,000 videos, or 20 million documents (depending on their exact size, of course). That amount of space would be a challenge to fill up on your own, so it’s a good thing you can share it with an unlimited number of devices.

More about Internxt

Internxt may not be as popular as a name like Dropbox, but don't write off this deal. Your photos and files are end-to-end encrypted, meaning they can’t be read by prying eyes. 

The company also makes its source code open to the public, so programmers and tech nerds can analyze it and ensure there are no vulnerabilities. That’s a lot more honesty than you’ll get from big-name brands.

Use code STORAGE20 at checkout to get an Internxt 10TB cloud storage lifetime subscription for A$444 (reg. A$555) until 27 April.
