A new wave of AI laptops from top brands like Dell, Lenovo, and Asus just hit the market. With a hefty price tag, are they really worth it?
Apple's new cleaning cloth is $19 - Or you can buy this pack of 24 for less
Amazon
You probably know just how easy it is for tech gadgets to build up dirt, grime and other grody particles. That’s especially true if you eat at your computer or tap your phone screen with sweaty fingers post-workout. You don’t want your devices to become a hub of bacteria, especially in the era of COVID-19.
That’s why cleaning products are a lifesaver. Soap and wet wipes are great, but sometimes a good, old-fashioned cloth can get the job done. It can remove the grody layer of disgusting buildup in a single wipe.
Since cleaning materials can do a world of good, that could be why Apple thinks it can sell a single cloth for a hefty $19 price tag. On Monday, Apple revealed its polishing cloth, a big white square.
Apple brags about its cloth having “soft, nonabrasive material” that can clean “any Apple display, including nano-texture glass.” So kind of like any other cleaning cloth on the market.
If one is $19, that means you’d pay $456 for 24 of these bad boys. Imagine spending that much not on tech but on cleaning supplies. We recommend saving your money and grabbing this 24-pack of cleaning cloths:

Elon’s smiling: The Tesla Cybertruck is now the bestselling electric truck in America, dethroning Ford’s F-150 Lightning. There were 3,907 Cybertrucks registered in May, compared to 2,353 F-150s. Chopping fingers aside, it looks like folks don’t mind paying that $100,000 price tag after all.

$3.4 million
Price tag of the world’s most accurate clock. The Aether clock OC 020 is as big as two refrigerators and weighs over 440 pounds. Let it tick for 10 billion years, and it would only be off by a second. That’s better than atomic clocks and could help predict earthquakes. No word if it has a snooze button.
$2,100 to $2,300
The price tag of the long-rumored iPhone Fold. That’s well above most foldable phones like the $1,899 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. And it’s almost triple the cost of a regular $799 iPhone 16. At those prices, it’s also going to fold your bank account, too. You have a couple of years to save up.

About $100
The expected price tag of Grand Theft Auto 6. This leaked on a Swiss store’s website but got quickly deleted. Hardly a steal? It’s actually about the same as the $50 original GTA from 1997 in today’s dollars. The game should be out later this year.
Who can buy this stuff, anyway?
CES has brought us a bunch of awesome new products, but there’s a big reason they’re not flying off the shelves – the price tag.

Reviewers test new Samsung foldable phone - Surprise! It works
I recently reported Samsung was about to release yet another folding smartphone after its first attempt, the Galaxy Fold, was an embarrassing failure. Screens that creaked within a week and a crazy price tag. Well, the new phone is out and here’s what the critics say.
Great smartphones for far less than $500
After another embarrassing failure last year, Samsung will try it again: An all-new foldable smartphone, with a jaw-dropping $2,000 price tag. They’re calling the phone, “a VIP Experience.” But what about the rest of us who need a great phone for less than $500?
