Given the level of success that Apple saw with the iPhone SE (2020), it’s safe to assume that the company isn’t going to abandon the affordable iPhone and a new rumor from display analyst Ross Young points to multiple iPhone SE models in the works, but fans will have to be patient (via MacRumors).

“Today we have made the common charger a reality in Europe! European consumers were frustrated long with multiple chargers piling up with every new device. Now they will be able to use a single charger for all their portable electronics," said Parliament’s rapporteur Alex Agius Saliba. “We have also added provisions on wireless charging being the next evolution in the charging technology and improved information and labelling for consumers.” Major smartphone brands, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Nokia, previously agreed to sign a voluntary memorandum to start using the same chargers in 2011 with the goal to reduce the variety of chargers....

Now, you may remember we launched this code way back in the summer, as a huge “thank you” to all of you for supporting Laptop Mag — with an expiry date of Halloween. But we’re so pleased to announce that it will be extended through to February 6. That means Dell Black Friday deals just got a little bit cheaper, which is so important at a time when we’re all penny pinching and watching out bank balances....

You see, I’ve got some knowledge of the industry, but haven’t truly delved deep into the variety of switches available outside of the clicky Logitech MX Mechanical and the heavier, quieter Vissles V84. Then I tried the Phantom 81, which costs $159/£128 (opens in new tab), and the difference is night and day with gorgeously smooth-yet-crisp linear-style switches (that are pre-lubed for extra fluidity) and a rock solid build quality....

Most computer monitors these days don’t come with built-in speakers. If they do, we’ve noticed the sad trend of high, tinny sounds and a disappointing lack of bass. Thankfully, right now you can get the Bose Companion 2 Series III Speakers for just $89 (opens in new tab). And hey, why not upgrade your sound all the way with the Bose Companion 20 Speakers for $224. (opens in new tab)...

While Apple released a new and improved version last year, this older MacBook Air is the last remaining Apple laptop that doesn’t use the maligned butterfly keyboard switches. MacBook Air (opens in new tab) for $749 ($249 off, Core i5/8GB/128GB SSD) This MacBook Air has a 13.3-inch, 1440 x 900 resolution display and is powered by a 5th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU.

For $99 it’s a budget-friendly option that provides a pleasant eReader experience. For your money, you get a high-resolution display and seriously long battery life. True, it doesn’t have the bells and whistles you’ll find on more premium devices, but for the price, it delivers big value. Kobo Nia design Made almost entirely of black plastic, the Kobo Nia is incredibly lightweight and easy to hold in one hand, even during long reading sessions....

MORE: What Is 5G? The Definitive Guide to 5G Networking Right now, the Limitless prototype looks like your run-of-the-mill Yoga, down to the smile-shaped keys. However, don’t expect this to be the end product as Lenovo is known to create some wild designs, like the Yoga Book C930 or the upcoming foldable PC. For Qualcomm’s part, the company is promising the brass ring of all-day battery life. However, we’re hoping this lofty goal doesn’t come at the cost of performance....

The Duet 5 still features a fabric rear case and keyboard cover like the previous model, but open it up and the 13.3-inch OLED display will make you check that sub-$500 price again. The changes run deeper than that with a dramatically improved Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 processor, while also delivering over 13 hours on a single charge. While it may not be the scrappy budget champ that the original Chromebook Duet was, the Duet 5 has bulked up and is ready to take on some heavyweight competition among the best Chromebooks and best laptops under $500 available today as well as one of the best 13-inch systems....

Design The Flex 5 ’s two-toned design is simple but eye-catching. The plastic lid is black with Lenovo’s logo in silver in the top left corner. Opening the notebook reveals a gunmetal gray aluminum deck with an island-style keyboard, as well as a 14-inch, 1080p touch-screen display. At 4.1 pounds and 12.9 x 9 x 0.8 inches, the Flex 5 is on the heavy side. While the 15-inch HP Spectre x360 (14 x 8....

Design Lenovo managed to hide a gaming laptop in plain sight. The Y730 looks elegant enough to crash a work meeting with its majority dark-gray aluminum chassis. In fact, the only plastics you’ll find are found in the rear and side vents, hinges and bottom-mounted speaker grille. The notebook’s lid is simultaneously edgy and spartan, with a large Legion logo engraved along the lower left side of the lid. Look closer, and you’ll notice a small, backlit version of the company’s three-pronged Legion symbol hiding out in the O....

It’s a lot of laptop for the money and it should provide more than enough horsepower for everyday gamers.

Design The slim X1 Tablet shares a family resemblance with the rest of the ThinkPad line, thanks to its matte black finish, and the overall design of the tablet is unchanged from the 2016 model. Outwardly, it’s the same system, with a magnesium chassis, a durable business-rugged design and a built-in kickstand. The 12-inch slate measures 11.4 x 8.2 x 0.3 inches and weighs 1.68 pounds as a tablet alone, and bulks up to 0....

However, its 13.3-inch display is a little dim, and the Yoga 6 gets surprisingly warm for something that’s not a gaming laptop.

Design The aluminum rectangle that makes up the Yoga 720 is really small. It’s sleek enough that I thought it was smaller than 13 inches. The silver lid, with the Yoga logo in a playful font, is inoffensive and solid without any give. Under the lid, the display is surrounded by a black bezel, and there’s an island-style backlit keyboard and a fingerprint reader on the aluminum deck. We’ve seen more and more fingerprint readers on 2-in-1s move over to the side for use in tablet mode, but that’s not the case with this one....
