Prakhar Khanna/ZDNETThe first time I used an anti-reflective display on a personal device was last year when I reviewed the Galaxy S24 Ultra. I was amazed by the quality-of-life improvements it brought to my daily use — and I wanted to see it on more devices. Therefore, I wasn’t too pleased when Apple priced its nano-texture iPad Pro out of budget by limiting it to the 1TB variant. I wanted a flagship iPad with an anti-reflective screen, but that price made the feature inaccessible. Finally, I’ve found a great tablet with a nanotexture display that doesn’t break the bank.Also: I tried to replace my MacBook Pro with the M3 iPad Air – then the reality of iPadOS struck meThe Xiaomi Pad 7 More
<!–> ZDNET’s key takeaways The 2024 Mac Mini is considerably smaller and faster, has two USB-C ports on the front, and upgrades the base RAM from 8GB to 16GB, all while staying at the $599 starting price (when not on sale).

fotograzia/Getty Images The internet (and especially my inbox) has been awash with buzz about vibe coding, a term coined by a former OpenAI founder and master programmer who waxed poetic about using an AI to do a lot of his coding’s more prosaic work. I went into substantial depth about that post and the definition […] More
When is Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025? Amazon’s Spring Sale will return this year on Tuesday, March 25, and end on March 31. Amazon confirmed its second annual Big Spring Sale event on March 18. Are laptops really cheaper during Amazon sales? Absolutely. Retailers and manufacturers have plenty of reasons to discount their laptops: new models coming out, overstock in a particular configuration, etc. Now, many of these discounted events align with Amazon’s sales, allowing retailers to clear inventory as part of the sale events. How did we choose these Spring Sale deals?ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — laptops we actually have tested and would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.

ZDNETFamily life can get hectic, especially when there is a constant deluge of events and activities that must be planned and carefully orchestrated. You’ve seen the cliché whiteboard hanging on a kitchen wall in just about every family sitcom in the modern era. In the digital age, however, it’s best if those calendars can be accessed by the entire family from anywhere.If you’re a Mac family, you’re in luck because sharing those calendars is easy within Apple’s Calendar app. Once you’ve shared a calendar with your family members, they can view it from their Macs, iPhones, and iPads. You can also share calendars so that only certain members of the family (say, your significant other) can edit them. You might want the kids or roommates to have read-only access to a specific calendar.Also: I found an iPhone and Mac browser that’s faster, safer, and easier than SafariWhich brings up another point — you can share multiple calendars with different people and set different privileges for each one. Fancy. You might think this process is challenging, but it’s not. In seconds, you can have these calendars shared, and once the invitees accept the invitation, they’re set. A word of caution In light of certain sharing disasters reported in the news, as with anything you share with others, make sure to carefully understand what you’re sharing and with whom you’re sharing it. You don’t want to share a family calendar with the wrong person or give the wrong person admin rights to a calendar they shouldn’t be able to edit. Also: This quick Mac tip saves me time and clicks all day longIn other words, be careful with this. Information in the wrong hands can be damaging. How to share your Apple Calendar What you’ll need: To share calendars, you’ll need an Apple device and someone to share the calendar with. You’ll also need iCloud enabled on your device (as that is how calendars are shared in the Apple ecosystem). Keep in mind that although the recipient doesn’t have to have an iCloud email address, they do have to have an iCloud account. That’s it. Let’s share. I’m going to demonstrate this on a MacBook Pro running macOS version 15.3.1. More
