This Intel Core i5-powered Surface Pro 7 might be one of the best ultra-affordable tablets right now
Wi-Fi Only, Intel 10th Gen Core i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 12.3-Inch PixelSense Touchscreen with 2736 x 1824 Pixel Resolution, Up to 10.5 Hours of Battery Life, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, Stereo Speakers with Dolby Audio Support, USB-C, USB-A, Windows 10 Home (Free Windows 11 Upgrade Available), Silver Color, Grade A Refurbished, 90-Day Seller Warranty Included Buy at Woot Wi-Fi Only, Intel 10th Gen Core i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 12.3-Inch PixelSense Touchscreen with 2736 x 1824 Pixel Resolution, Up to 10.5 Hours of Battery Life, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, Stereo Speakers with Dolby Audio Support, USB-C, USB-A, Windows 10 Home (Free Windows 11 Upgrade Available), Platinum Color, Renewed, Excellent Condition Buy at Amazon Despite its very advanced age, this 12.3-inch giant is still clearly superior to virtually all the best budget tablets out there in terms of not just screen size, but screen quality, battery life, connectivity, audio performance, and overall system performance as well.
Yes, your 220 bucks will be enough to buy you an (admittedly ancient) 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor that undoubtedly outperforms the latest mid-range chips from the likes of Qualcomm, Samsung, or MediaTek, especially in combination with a more than respectable 8GB RAM count.
Perhaps even more remarkably, the Surface Pro 7 variant on sale here at this incredibly low price also comes with a super-speedy 256GB solid-state drive, as well as an excellent battery endurance rating of 10.5 hours (in "typical" device usage).
If you're worried about software support, well, you shouldn't be, as Microsoft's nearly six-year-old 12.3-inch slate can be upgraded from Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 right out the box for free. On top of everything else, you get both a USB-A port and a USB-C port for complete convenience and versatility, not to mention powerful stereo speakers with Dolby Audio sound technology, a good old fashioned 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card reader.
In theory, Woot plans to keep this killer deal going for seven days, but I wouldn't be surprised if your demand wipes out the e-tailer's inventory in a matter of hours, in which case you might want to take a look at the best Amazon promotion available right now as well. You'll have to pay an extra $90 there, mind you, but the price is still not bad for what the Surface Pro 7 offers with 8GB RAM, a 256GB SSD, and Intel Core i5 power.

When is an iPhone 16e not an iPhone 16e? When it's part of a switcheroo scam
iPhone 16e 's design is based on the The iPhone 16e is different than the previous low-priced iPhone line, the iPhone SE . The latter featured smaller screens, and the last of these releases, the iPhone SE 3 , was based on the iPhone 8. That means it used Touch ID instead of Face ID and had a single camera on the back panel. The's design is based on the iPhone 14 , even though it is powered by the 3nm A18 application processor (AP) and carries 8GB of RAM. The iPhone 16e looks different than all other 2025 iPhone models iPhone 16 models, for one reason and one reason only. Apple wanted its iPhone 16e with at least 8GB of RAM. And while the Apple Intelligence using a 3nm A17 Pro AP, Apple felt better giving the iPhone 16e the A18 chipset. Apple gave the phone the same AP that powers the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus and 8GB of RAM, the same as on allmodels, for one reason and one reason only.

The iPhone 16e is also the first iPhone to employ the tech giant's homegrown 5G modem chip, the C1. It also sports a single 48 MP rear camera. As a result, the iPhone 16e is the only phone in the iPhone 16 lineup with a single rear camera and it is the only 2025 model that has the notch in the front. Whether looking at the phone from the front or back, it stands out against the other 2025 models. So when an AT&T customer went to an AT&T Store to buy an iPhone for his son and to add a line to his account, there should have been no confusing the lower-priced iPhone for any other model in the iPhone 16 series.

Liquid Glass returns to iOS 26: toned down, but with its original vision intact
Apple introduced iOS 26 and its new UI design — Liquid Glass — at WWDC ( Worldwide Developers Conference ) this year, only to immediately backtrack after criticism. Fortunately, the company didn't completely abandon its redesign, and has improved it for better legibility while still retaining its original Glass was toned down dramatically in iOS 26 Beta 3, to the point where it didn't look like what was shown off at WWDC at all. The original design was mocked endlessly on social media, citing legibility problems as well as higher processing power requirements. But with iOS 26 Beta 4, Apple has made Liquid Glass actually look like the advertised design again, despite continuing everyone is happy, and there's likely still more work to be done on the design before the public release this fall. But, in my opinion, it looks pretty good, and I share Apple insider Mark Gurman's sentiments that the company shouldn't abandon an entirely new UI because of some negative posts online. Liquid Glass is, in my eyes, a fantastic UI design. It isn't just some transparent menu bars, there is genuine thought and effort behind it. The way the backgrounds reflect inside the UI elements is mesmerizing. There were definitely some problems with Liquid Glass at launch, but I think it deserves a chance to really prove itself. Liquid Glass returns with iOS 26 Beta 4. | Image credit — 9to5Mac With iOS 26 , the iPhone is seeing a major UI redesign, like it first did with iOS 7 all the way back in 2013. This design is likely building up to the new 20th anniversary iPhone Pro model that is reportedly under development. That Pro model will allegedly feature a display with no cutouts or other distractions, and is also said to have curved edges, so the screen covers the entire front of the phone. Apple seems to be going all in on its new design, as a recent report claims that the iPhone 17 Pro will have a new color option inspired by Liquid Glass. With all that in mind, and iOS 26 Beta 4 in front of us, it now seems a bit silly to have thought that Apple would completely abandon Liquid Glass at the drop of a hat.
