These days, it feels like everyone is hitting the road in an RV or cruising around on a yacht. It's a pretty appealing lifestyle, honestly. But once you're parked or tied up at the dock, you still need a way to get around. That's where a lightweight electric bike really comes in handy. The Heybike Helio F stands out in this category; it's designed to fit right in with life on the move.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip is Apple's entrenched, well-worn, and still elegant stepping stone into 2026. In a year's time, we'll hopefully see whole new varieties of MacBooks hit the scene. But I don't much enjoy pretending to exist in some vague futurenot when we don't know how our current economic reality will shape tomorrow's gadget economy. Existing in the now, with the singular new MacBook Pro in tow sporting Apple's latest silicon, you can feel safe knowing it's still a great laptop.

That doesn't matter if I'm using last year's iPad Pro with M4 chip or Apple's new refresh with M5 chip powering this light, slim, and still-powerful tablet. It's prettier than the rest. It's more portable than most other devices with its thin frame (and yes, it's still a slimmer frisbee than the iPad Air). And to hell with it, is there really any competition for tablets at this point that isn't some oversized Samsung Galaxy device?

I found myself downloading more e-books from my public library and reading a wider variety of novels because of how easy it was to rent them through Libby and read them while I sat on the subway or passed the time in the waiting room of doctor's appointments. The Kindle actually fits in my coat pocket, which is nearly miraculous for a woman given how small women's pockets are.

That breadth of choices means choosing a gaming laptop in 2025 isn't simple. While picking any option from our Best Gaming Laptops guide is a good place to start, you still might not end up with a gaming laptop perfectly suited for your needs. Having tested many gaming laptops in over a decade of reviewing products, I'll break down each element of these spendy machines to lead you in the right direction, as well as explain what to expect from the major laptop brands.

The JVM has two primary functions: to allow Java programs to run on any device or operating system (known as the "write once, run anywhere" principle), and to manage and optimize program memory. When Java was released in 1995, all computer programs were written to a specific operating system, and program memory was managed by the software developer. It's not hard to see why the JVM was a revelation in that era.

Using Git on the terminal is preferred for its transparency, allowing users to see exactly what's happening during interactions with repositories.

The 3.1GHz dual‑core Intel Core i5 processor (with Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz) and 8GB of RAM handle everything from financial modeling to presentation design without lag.
