Acer is announcing a new laptop poised to rival the MacBook Air’s thinness and lightness – and in the process, it cops another laptop’s name. The Acer Swift Blade 14 (not to be confused with the Razer Blade 14) is a productivity machine weighing just 1.76 pounds / 799g and measuring as little as 0.51…

Nintendo 3DS emulation on PC looks nothing like it did two years ago. Citra, the emulator that defined the category for a decade, went dark on March 5, 2024, after Nintendo’s parent company Tropic Haze settled a lawsuit tied to the Yuzu Switch emulator for $2.4 million.
