Foldables Are Still Looking for a Breakout Moment. Samsung Wants to Change That Foldables Are Still Looking for a Breakout Moment. Samsung Wants to Change That Tyler Reeves, a 28-year-old computer engineering student living in California, bought Samsung's first Galaxy Fold shortly after it launched in 2019. It was an expensive and bold choice for someone like Reeves, who enjoys outdoor sports like rock climbing and backpacking.  Most people would be reluctant to take a nearly $2,000 phone up a mountain, especially since Samsung delayed the device's originally planned launch over durability issues . But that didn't bother Reeves. In fact, his first-gen Galaxy Fold is still in good condition aside from a few scratches. "I tend to bring my phone in places where you usually wouldn't want to bring something like that," he said.  Reeves is the exception rather than the norm. ...

MacBook Air M1 review: Big changes from Apple silicon and Big Sur MacBook Air M1 review: Big changes from Apple silicon and Big Sur Going hands-on with the new M1-powered Apple MacBook Air feels very different from using any previous MacBook Air, even the early-2020 Intel version I tested alongside it. But that mostly comes from the new MacOS Big Sur experience, more than the hardware changes inside. Big Sur is a huge change for the Mac, with new visual flair, new controls and new ways of interfacing with your Mac. Once you account for the big OS update, the day-to-day experience will be familiar to anyone who has used a recent MacBook Air. That, by itself, is a big point in favor of the theory that switching Macs, especially the MacBook Air, from Intel CPUs to the new Apple-designed M1 system-on-chip will be overall a smooth transition.  For such a popular laptop -- I often call the MacBook Air the most universally usef...
