A frame from a Sora 2-generated video. | Image: OpenAI On Tuesday afternoon, OpenAI announced "We're saying goodbye to Sora," the video generation tool that it launched at the end of 2024, and centered in a massive licensing deal with Disney only a few months ago. The Wall Street Journal reported the move earlier, saying that OpenAI boss Sam Altman had informed staff that both the TikTok-like Sora app and API access for developers would be discontinued, with no plans to roll the feature into ChatGPT as had previously been rumored. According to The Hollywood Reporter, as a result, the deal Disney announced in December, saying it would invest $1 billion in OpenAI, license its characters for use w … Read the full story at The Verge.

Ever watch a TV ad and wonder "How did this get approved?" Today, Google has not one but two new ad spots for its six-month-old Pixel 10 phones, and… let's just say they may not come across as intended. First, there's "With 100x Zoom," an ad that appears to suggest that if a vacation rental company lies to you about the view from your hotel room, you should lie to all your friends and family, too! Take a watch below: The YouTube description makes Google's intent fairly clear: "So even if that breathtaking view you were promised turns out to be miles away, now you can zoom your way to a photo that makes it look like you were right there. … Read the full story at The Verge.

When an Australian tech entrepreneur with no background in biology or medicine said ChatGPT helped save his dog from cancer, the story spread with the kind of validation Big Tech has long craved: proof that AI will revolutionize medicine and take on one of its deadliest diseases. The reality, as usual, is more complicated. The version of the story that made the rounds online, first reported by The Australian, was relatively straightforward. In 2024, Sydney-based Paul Conyngham learned that his dog Rosie had cancer. Chemotherapy slowed the disease but failed to shrink the tumors. After vets said "nothing could be done" for the Staffordshire … Read the full story at The Verge.

It’s 2026, and that means Apple sells MacBooks equipped with not just its capable M-series processors but A-series chips that were previously exclusive to the iPhone. With the MacBook Neo starting at $599, the company now offers a wider range of options with more sizes and price points than ever before, all of which run the company’s newest operating system, macOS 26. Purchasing a new MacBook is easy if all you want is an affordable laptop. But if you have more specific needs and use cases that require a lot of power, or if you want to connect multiple 6K displays, it gets more complicated. That said, finding a deal on a relatively speedy model is surprisingly easy if you know where to look. These days, it’s not uncommon to see various MacBooks discounted by up to $800, although the quality of deals fluctuates frequently. Alternatively, purchasing refurbished options directly from Apple is another way to save money without waiting for the changing deal winds to blow your way. It’s also the only option to find certain configurations of older models as Apple continues to launch newer versions. Apple’s refurbished store offers a one-year warranty and generally discounts new units by up to 20 percent. But if you want to buy new and you’re looking to save whatever you can, here are the best MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini deals available. The best MacBook Neo deals Apple recently launched the MacBook Neo, a 13-inch laptop that aims to take on premium Chromebooks and midrange Windows laptops. Its design is somewhat similar to other MacBook models, but there are a handful of differences, ranging from the placement of the headphone jack and speakers to the thickness of the screen’s bezel (there’s also no keyboard backlighting). The most notable difference, however, is what powers it: the Neo runs on Apple’s A18 Pro chipset, which debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro. It also comes with either 256GB or 512GB of storage, although it’s capped at 8GB of RAM. If you’re curious about how it stacks up to Apple’s pricier MacBooks, our full review is chock-full of benchmarks and insights. Although Best Buy ran a gift card promo ahead of the Neo’s launch, it has since expired. There are currently no big cash discounts available on the budget laptop — unless you count Amazon’s paltry $5 discount on the 256GB version or its $10 discount on the 512GB configuration. MacBook Neo Where to Buy: $599 at Best Buy (256GB) $699 $689.99 at Amazon (512GB) $599 $595 at Amazon (256GB) The best MacBook Air deals M5 MacBook Air In March, Apple released an updated 13.6- and 15.3-inch MacBook Air with an M5 processor. In almost every way, there’s nothing new here, except for the processor, the starting price, and the amount of storage you get in the base model. The most affordable option retails for $1,099 — $100 more than the cheapest M4 model — but it offers twice as much storage at 512GB. Not just that, Apple says its SSD is faster than the last-gen model (the company claims its read / write speeds are twice as fast). It also supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 7, which are spec improvements that may or may not matter to you, or yield noticeable improvements over the previous model. The smaller MBA model with an M5 processor (10-core CPU, 8-core GPU), 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD is down to $1,049 at Amazon and B&H Photo, which is $50 off. Meanwhile, the larger version — which is similar but offers a 10-core GPU, a larger battery, and a slightly higher-res screen due to its size (but with the same 224 pixels-per-inch clarity) — is on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $1,249 (also $50 off). Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M5, 2026) Where to Buy: $1099 at Best Buy $1099 $1049 at Amazon $1099 $1049 at B&H Photo Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M5, 2026) Where to Buy: $1299 at Best Buy $1299 $1249.99 at Amazon $1299 $1249 at B&H Photo M4 MacBook Air Last year’s 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs have both previously received sizable discounts, and this might be your last chance to get them before Apple phases out the last-gen M4 model in favor of its newer version. Thankfully, you can pick up the 13-inch base model with a 10-core CPU, an eight-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage on sale at B&H Photo right now starting at $899 ($100 off), which is $100 more than its all-time low. Amazon has most color options available with a 512GB SSD for $999.99 ($200 off), too, whereas Best Buy just has the midnight-colored model at this price. If you prefer the larger 15-inch model, the entry-level configuration with a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage is on sale starting at $999 ($200 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, which is among the best-ever prices we’ve seen for this model. The 512GB model is also currently on sale for just $100 more at Amazon and B&H Photo. MacBook Air (13-inch, M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) Where to Buy: $999 $899 at Best Buy (starlight only) $999 $899 at B&H Photo MacBook Air (15-inch, M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) Where to Buy: $1199 $999 at Amazon $1199 $999 at B&H Photo $1199 $999 at Best Buy The best MacBook Pro deals M5 MacBook Pro Apple’s latest revision of the 14.2-inch MacBook Pro has the M5 processor. The generational leap will be felt most by those who have an older MacBook Pro, not those upgrading from the M4, unless you use specific AI apps that tap into the chip’s new Neural Accelerators. As for other design changes and upgrades to the inside and outside of this MacBook Pro, there really aren’t any major ones to note; in fact, it’s so similar to the M4 model that our reviewer Antonio Di Benedetto had to write “M5” on a sticky note just to be able to tell them apart. That being said, it’s still an amazing laptop, one that’s just now starting to get minor discounts. The 14.2-inch base model with the M5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage is down to $1,399 ($200 off) at Amazon in the space black color scheme, which is $50 shy of its best price to date. If you want more storage, jumping up to a configuration with 1TB SSD will cost you $100 more, bringing the total to $1,499.99 at Amazon — a great deal that’s $200 off its normal list price. Either model is worth picking over the M4 MacBook Pro, especially since that model is tough to find in stock and, more importantly, currently costs more than the newer, better version. MacBook Pro (14-inch, M5, 2025) Where to Buy: $1599 $1399.99 at Amazon (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1699 $1499.99 at Amazon (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) M5 Pro / Max MacBook Pro Apple’s recent announce-a-thon included the debut of M5 Pro and M5 Max versions of its MacBook Pro lineup, giving content creators new machines to lust over. Like the other laptops introduced for 2026 (except the Neo), not much has changed on the outside compared to the last-gen version. However, prices for each configuration have gone up; the M5 Pro model starts at $200 higher than the M4 Pro, while the M5 Max is $400 more than the starting M4 Max model. Similarly, they’re available in 14- and 16-inch configurations, and each starts with 1TB of storage and 24GB of RAM, with plenty of upgrade paths for those with deep pockets. Amazon and B&H Photo are both offering a $50 discount on most configurations featuring the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, regardless of size. For instance, the base 14.2-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD is down to $2,149.99 at both retailers (Amazon / B&H Photo). Meanwhile, the upgraded 2TB version is on sale for $2,549 ($50 off) at Amazon, while the base M5 Max variant with a 2TB SSD and 36GB RAM is going for $3,549 at Amazon, down from $3,599. The 16-inch configurations are $50 off, too, starting with the base M5 Pro model, which is available for $2,649 at Amazon and B&H Photo. Apple MacBook Pro (M5 Pro/Max, 2026) Where to Buy: $2199 $2149.99 at Amazon (14-inch M5 Pro, 1TB SSD, 24GB RAM) $2699 $2649 at Amazon (16-inch M5 Pro, 1TB SSD, 24GB RAM) M4 Pro MacBook Pro The 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips launched with a big increase in RAM over the previous generation, bringing them up to 24GB. They start with 512GB of storage, too, and retail for $1,999 and $2,499, respectively. While the total port selection hasn’t changed compared to their respective M3 Pro and M3 Max counterparts, you’ll get faster Thunderbolt 5 ports on these more substantial models. That’s in addition to the SD slot, dedicated full-sized HDMI port, and 3.5mm jack. They also have the upgraded 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam with Desk View, as well as the optional nano-texture display option. As of right now, the M4 Pro-equipped MacBook Pro is the only model receiving significant discounts. For example, the 14-inch M4 Pro with a 12-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 24GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage is available at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $1,799 ($200 off). It’s a solid discount, especially considering that Apple’s most affordable M5 Pro model currently costs $350 more. 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro Where to Buy: $2499 $1799 at Amazon (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $2499 $1949.99 at Best Buy (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) The best Mac Mini deals The newest Mac Minis in town are the M4-based models, which arrived in 2024. Apple reduced the desktop’s horizontal footprint and paired it with its M4 chipset and 16GB of RAM, which is double that of the previous generation and brings it in line with other base-model Macs from 2024. That makes Apple’s newest desktop computer a tremendous value. M4 Mac Mini The M4 Mac Mini starts with an M4 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage for $599. That’s an incredible value for a tiny desktop computer that can rival the Mac Studio and Mac Pro when it comes to certain tasks, including light gaming, 4K video editing, and 3D modeling. The M4 Mac Mini is a fair bit thicker than the last-gen M2 model at 2 inches tall, yet it measures a mere 5 inches wide and 5 inches deep. In addition to the odd decision to place the power button on its underside, Apple moved the 3.5mm headphone jack and two of its five USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 ports to the front. The rear features an additional three Thunderbolt ports, HDMI-out, and a gigabit ethernet port. In the past, we’ve seen the base Mac Mini drop to as low as $469, but right now, the sales aren’t particularly noteworthy. In fact, it’s tough to find a range of M4 Mac Mini configurations in stock outside of Apple. The Mac Mini with an M4 Pro chipset is easier to find than the base model, although it’s currently not discounted. This model comes with faster Thunderbolt 5 ports and storage, and starts at $1,399 at B&H Photo and Apple. Apple Mac Mini (M4) Where to Buy: $599 at Apple (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $1399 at B&H Photo (M4 Pro, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) Update, March 18th: Updated to reflect current prices / availability of all new MacBook models, as well as the last-gen M4 models.
