Tech & InnovationOn the hunt for a new Dell laptop? These are the best models we've tested recently
The bar for “good enough” client hardware is now defined by how well it runs local models and heavy browser-based AI tools, not just CPU/GPU specs on paper. If you’re refreshing fleets, test against your actual AI workloads instead of relying on generic laptop reviews.

The real story in Dell’s dorm-room balance sheet is that he had hard unit economics before he scaled, not that he “believed in himself.” In an AI-subsidized market, operators who can still produce a one-page, reality-based P&L for a new line will make better bets than those chasing vanity metrics.
Tech & InnovationBlock reports Q2 revenue up 9% YoY to $6.62B, vs. $6.49B est., Cash App gross profit up 31% to $1.97B, and raises its FY 2026 gross profit forecast
