Anyway, Variety also reports that Karim Zreik will executive produce under his Cedar Tree Productions banner. Ari Arad and BioWare's Michael Gamble will […]
Today, Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts have announced the details of the PS5 Pro enhancements for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is notorious […]
Sony has presented the PlayStation 5 Pro as the quinessential mid-generation refresh, boasting far more impressive graphics and fidelity from the base console. At a price point that some gamers will find difficult to justify, Sony has a long road ahead of themselves to prove why gamers need such an impressive graphical powerhouse when a powerful GPU upgrade could be obtained for the same price on PC.

Last week was swamped with Mac announcements and what the refreshed and new models entailed. The tech community was particularly interested in the iMac with the M4 chip and the power-packed performance it was meant to deliver. Apple even emphasized its efficiency and power through an advertisement that metaphorically represented the M4 chip coming out as a champion. The new iMac is to hit the shelves on Friday, and consumers can get their hands on it tomorrow. As the official launch is just around the corner, early reviews are out for the all-in-one desktop computer. Reviews of Apple's latest iMac […]

Apple’s redesigned Mac mini can be configured with either the M4 or M4 Pro chipsets, but unlike the previous-generation models, the physical size has been reduced drastically, making it exceptionally portable, with all models now offered with 16GB unified RAM as standard. Additionally, the company offers double the memory at the same $599 starting price, with these improvements and more being a few of the many reasons why technology outlets and content creators have a boatload of positive things to say about the compact but capable machine. The Verge’s Chris Welch praised the value of the M4 Mac mini, saying that $599 […]
Akin to high-stakes poker, Elon Musk wagered the very future of Tesla and the rest of his expansive business empire by going all-in on Trump. Now, as his fortunes rise along with those of the president-elect, Wall Street expects Tesla to benefit in one way or another. To wit, the Bank of America (BofA) has penned an interesting investment note today, arguing that Tesla stands to gain at the margins from a Trump victory and Elon Musk's pivotal role in securing it. While BofA analysts concede that Tesla’s position should remain largely neutral to most of Trump's envisioned policy changes, […]
