Sony’s new beastly console is a niche product for PlayStation gamers who want the most premium experience. The PlayStation 5 Pro is the console equivalent of the iPhone Pro Max or the Kindle Signature but still cheaper than a PC gaming rig. It has a more powerful GPU, capable of offering 4K and 60 fps gaming, an AI upscaler to polish up textures, new ray tracing and a substantial 2TB SSD to store all your games. (No disc drive, however.) And, as you’ll read in our full review, the PS5’s back catalog has never looked better.
There are good arguments for not buying the PlayStation 5 Pro — it’s a beefed up midcycle console with base performance for $700 — but if you haven’t jumped on the PS5 bandwagon yet, it gives a solid no-compromise experience.

It doesn’t stop.

You draw a box and input text to describe the image.
Google accidentally leaked a preview of its Jarvis AI that can take over computers
It appeared only briefly.
Google’s new AI prototype accidentally found its way to the public through the Chrome Web Store. It’s a little different to the Siris, Alexas and Geminis of this world, though. The store page described the Jarvis prototype as “a helpful companion that surfs the web for you” using web browsers to take care of common tasks, such as buying groceries, booking flights and researching topics. Google’s new AI can steer your browser for you, completing these simple tasks without manual human input.
