PC and smartphone users tend to have a love-hate relationship with wireless networks. It’s great to have Wi-Fi Internet at home, at the office, and in public places, but you still have to deal with passwords and spotty coverage. One of these headaches may soon be a thing of the past, however: The brains at MIT have now figured out how to remove password requirements from a Wi-Fi network without compromising its security.

But if all you need is a computer that will handle web browsing, media streaming and typical work, you’ll be surprised at how much you can fit into a tiny package.
Meet the HP Pavilion 300-220 Mini Desktop, which packs an Intel Pentium 3805U 1.9 GHz, 4GB of RAM, 500GB of storage and the Windows 10 operating system into a compact and stylish housing that fits in the palm of your hand.

Apple’s pitch for the iPad Pro is a very in-your-face approach. The company told us on stage during its iPhone SE keynote that the iPad Pro is the perfect replacement for old PCs, taking a shot at Microsoft but also offending plenty of Apple customers who still have old Macs that operate just fine.

Leading up to yesterday’s Model 3 unveiling, the pressure was on for Tesla to hit it out of the park. Indeed, the company’s entire existence has been predicated on delivering an affordable EV for the mass market. With the Model 3 being years in the making, Tesla would only have one shot to get it right. From a technical perspective (i.e. range, speed), there were few doubts that Tesla would deliver the goods.
