5+ min ago (608+ words) My top six picks are all discounted for Black Friday Garmins are super-popular buys in the Black Friday deals every year, but often it's older models you see discounted, not the best, brightest, and shiniest new entries to the lineup. Not so this year: almost every Garmin watch has a discount in some form or another. I've been testing Garmin watches for years. I wrote TechRadar's buying guide to the best Garmin watches overall, and I've been testing fitness kit for a decade. I recently narrowed down our recommendations to just six watches: best for most people, premium, budget, best for runners, outdoors, and golf. Lo and behold, all of them are discounted for Black Friday. Our best pick for most people, the Garmin Venu 4, costs just $499 at Amazon (was $549), while the Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm is priced at $849.99 at Best Buy…...

9+ min ago (458+ words) The Amazfit Active 2 offers impressive value for athletes, and you can snag it for as low as $79, or $99 for the better version. The usual rule for Black Friday is that you need to spend more to save more. You can save $350 on a Garmin Fenix 8, but you're still spending $850. Sometimes, you need to turn down the flashy hundreds-off watch deals and find a device that was already affordable to begin with, like $80 off the Versa 4. And even that might be too pricey for you, once you add the subscription. I frequently cover the best cheap Android watches and best fitness watches for this site, and so I'm well-equipped to point out the best under-$100 Black Friday deal for anyone looking for a cheap watch that doesn't skimp too much on quality. My advice? Start with the Amazfit Active 2 at $99 ($30 off)…...

31+ min ago (344+ words) Keychron's Q1 Pro is down to its lowest price, and you shouldn't wait to get this deal. The Q1 Pro has all the features you need in a high-end mechanical keyboard. It has excellent build quality, it's a delight to use, and you can easily connect it to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. As I said, I have dozens of keyboards, and the Q1 Pro is still one of my favorites. "Recommended if: You want a mechanical keyboard that's better than what you're using. The Q1 Pro has Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity alongside USB-C, and it has a unique gasket-mounted design that makes it a joy to use. "Skip this deal if: You need a full-size keyboard. In that case, I'd suggest getting the Q6 Max. It has the same design and feature-set as the Q1 Pro, but you get a dedicated number pad, and it…...

32+ min ago (244+ words) I've been covering some great Garmin Black Friday deals, which make expensive Forerunner, Instinct, and Fenix watches for runners and hikers more accessible. But even discounted, you still have to pay upward of $449 (Forerunner 965) or $649 (Forerunner 970) for the best software features, especially offline maps for trail running or hiking. Android Central verdict: " I ranked the COROS PACE Pro as the best mid-range running watch available today, beating out alternatives from Garmin, Suunto, Polar, Amazfit, and others for both accuracy and value. COROS gave the PACE Pro a speedy processor (for a fitness watch), so when using the topographic maps, zooming in/ out with the crown or swiping on the touchscreen is speedy and seamless. And its EvoLab training suite will help you stay focused for your marathon training. While most people will buy the PACE Pro from Amazon, if you…...

It's awesome that I can now have peace of mind right on my wrist with the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro AMOLED, but there are considerations that may limit its appeal to many people.

43+ min ago (679+ words) A Chinese semiconductor company is making bold claims about its homegrown AI chip, positioning it as a serious alternative to Nvidia's hardware at a time when access to cutting-edge processors has become a matter of national security. Zhonghao Xinying, a Chinese startup, has announced what it describes as the "Ghana" chip: a General Purpose Tensor Processing Unit, or GPTPU, intended for use in the training and inferencing of AI models. This processor performs, according to the company, about 1.5 times faster than Nvidia's A100 GPU, which was launched back in 2020 based on the Ampere architecture. While that might sound impressive, it's worth putting this claim into perspective: the A100 was indeed cutting-edge hardware five years ago, but the chip industry has moved on considerably since then." Nvidia has since released its Hopper architecture in 2022 and more recently its Blackwell Ultra hardware, both of…...

1+ hour, 15+ min ago (433+ words) The Canon EOS R100 is the perfect entry-level kit for a beginner Also, a capable camera can actually end up being cheaper than buying one of the best camera phones.
