We got our first news about Samsung's 2025 TV and soundbar lineup back at CES 2025. Now, those new models are starting to roll out onto store shelves and into living rooms. Like last year, we got an early chance to see (and hear) Samsung's entire 2025 lineup, including the new glare-fighting QLEDs, the upgraded OLED, and the Quantum Dot-enhanced Frame. We got time with all of them. We spent several hours cycling through the various TVs with their companion soundbars. To test the TVs, we watched streaming content through both an Apple TV 4K and the TVs' native streaming apps.

Just before the weekend, the US Customs and Border Protection published a list of products excluded from Trump's tariffs, including smartphones, PCs, memory chips and let's say 80 percent of everything we write about at Engadget.

In the search for happiness, having a good day every day is surely crucial. But when there are so many pursuits competing for our attention, sometimes it's difficult to know how much time to allocate for each one. Now, scientists in Canada claim to cracked the code for the perfect day – and surprisingly, it includes a short shift at work.

As you would expect, it works better for images where the main subject is more obvious, but the results can be impressive--and can save you a lot of manual image editing time.

The MSI Raider 18 HX AI isn't a looker, but it packs incredible CPU and GPU performance. The MSI Raider 18 HX AI is the very model of a "desktop replacement" laptop.
