MacBook Neo hands-on: Apple's $599 laptop feels shockingly great The most interesting product Apple announced this week was its cheapest and least powerful laptop, the MacBook Neo.

Here's my hands on with the MacBook Neo, it feels great! But 8GB RAM/256GB storage is going to be hard to live with www.engadget.com/computing/la...

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

The first ultraportable I've tested with Intel's new Panther Lake chips can play Arc Raiders and gets great battery life, a damn shame about the awful mechanical trackpad though www.engadget.com/computing/la...
