Lenovo has a history of showcasing wild concepts at IFA, and this year was no exception. In addition to confirming the pricing and availability details of its Legion Go 2 PC gaming handhelds, it showcased some cool new concepts this year, one of which is a laptop with a rotating screen to switch between portrait and landscape orientation. The ThinkBook VertiFlex concept, just like the Auto Twist AI PC the brand showcased last year, has a versatile display that you can use in different ways. Head below for more details.

We are now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops Microsoft’s Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite chip down to $999 shipped. That’s straight up a $601 discount on the $1,600 sticker price of this machine that comes with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. It briefly dropped to $899 at B&H during a limited-time offer earlier this year in February, but it’s mostly been selling for around $1,300 since then. Today’s offer comes within $100 of that all-time low and even beats its recent Prime Day price by $111. Head below for more details.

Microsoft has quietly released a very limited batch of its special Smurface Edition Surface Laptop Copilot+ PC on Amazon for $999.99 shipped.

We’ve tested a bunch of chargers here at 9to5Toys, and while there are plenty of good ones that we continue to recommend, most of them fall short somewhere or the other – be it when it comes to the number of devices it can charge or the overall output it can deliver simultaneously. There are only a handful of charging stations out there on the market that can do it all, and the UGREEN Nexode 500W 6-port charging station we’re checking out today is one of them. This particular charger has been sitting on my desk as my main charger, topping off everything from my iPhone, AirPods, MacBook Air, and even my other everyday essentials like mouse and DualSense controller. Hit the jump to learn more about it and see if you want to pick it up for your charging needs, too.

The ESR MagMouse, which launched on Kickstarter just over a week ago, aims to solve a specific problem: making your mouse easier to carry. While you can always toss it into your backpack, what about those moments when you’re quickly moving between meetings or classes and want to carry it more conveniently with your laptop? According to the brand, its new $36 MagMouse (now $26 for early backers) – which I’ve been testing for about a week – is designed specifically for that purpose. The mouse works as advertised and I’m here to tell you all about it. Hit the jump for more details.

PNY is expanding its PRO Elite V3 USB flash drive lineup with three new USB-C models – PRO Elite V3 Type-C, Elite-X Fit Type-C USB 3.2, and Elite Type-C USB 3.2.

The other two models top out at relatively lower speeds, though they’re more compact, are available in a lower 64GB capacity, and are also quite affordable with a 64GB 3-pack of the most compact model at just $27.99 shipped. Head below for more details and a closer look at the drives.
