Last week, LEGO gave us two new teasers on Instagram – one for a new Mario minifigure, and the other for the long-awaited Ideas Jurassic Park Jeep, but the LEGO Group was busy over the weekend continuing its sneak peeks pertaining to the Dinosaur-centric theme, as we also got a new video on the upcoming Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops set, as well as short-term story peeks at three additional sets – which means we’re going to be have a nice wave of 2026 Jurassic World releases. Head below to get a rundown on what we can surmise from the limited info we have, as well as watch the official reveal video and browse the few collected photos pertaining to all these new building sets.

Apple’s upgraded M5 MacBook Air has arrived and we are now tracking straight up $50 price drops across the entire lineup. But the question is whether or not the upgrades on the new model warrant the cost even at $50 off, especially when you can land a perfectly capable M4 MacBook Air in brand new condition straight from Amazon at a giant $320 off right now. 

It’s been a pretty exciting week for LEGO fans, as we got some new reveals of upcoming sets from the Mario Kart, One Piece, and Ideas themes – including the MAR10 Day minifigure teaser.

Amazon’s annual Prime Day is one of the biggest sale events of the year, and it may arrive earlier than usual this time around. The retailer is reportedly planning to move the event to June instead of July, which has been the typical timing since Prime Day first launched in 2015. There’s no official confirmation directly from Amazon on this just yet, and the information reportedly comes from “people familiar with the matter.” While we’re currently waiting for a round of Spring deals, it seems even bigger discounts could be just around the corner this year. Head below for more details.

Elago has been serving cute, quirky, and nostalgia fueled tech accessories for years, and its Game Boy-inspired designs have been some of the best of them. It recently launched another vintage Nintendo handheld accessory in the form of the NW5 Nintendo Switch 2 Game Case, and there is an early launch deal available on Amazon right now. 

While there are plenty of newer Qi2.2 25W chargers on the market now, the standard Qi2 15W models are still very relevant and widely used. This is particularly true in the case of portable power banks, as many prioritize convenience factors like compact size and portability over the absolute fastest charging speeds. That’s where the Baseus Picogo power bank we’re checking out today stands out. It’s one of the more popular options available, and honestly, the smallest one I carry in my EDC these days. The compact form factor alone often makes me reach for it over other options I own. That said, there’s more to this model than just its size, and you can read more about my experience using it below.

LEGO is keeping its reveal train this week rolling, with the previous two days giving us pre-orders for the upcoming Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 and One Piece Gum-Gum Fruit sets, and now we’re getting a look (and pre-order purchases) for the next Ideas set: the 21367 Tintin Moon Rocket. Head below to get the rundown on what you can expect, as well as browsing through all the collected photos.

Many of the rumors surrounding the next-generation Xbox are, at least seemingly, coming true. Microsoft and the newly appointed head of Xbox have already confirmed Project Helix is well into development and that it will indeed be able to play both Xbox and PC games. What that means exactly is still unclear, but we do have new details directly from Xbox on everything from a hint at the release window, the machine’s dual-functionality, and even some actual specs here today. 

A new LEGO PlayStation set is reportedly coming this year. We have seen some exciting new official LEGO announcements this week, including the large-scale Luigi Mario Kart build, a teaser for new minifigure-scale Nintendo sets, and just this morning with the launch of the One Piece Gum-Gum Fruit pre-orders, but it looks like LEGO might also have a new brick built PlayStation 1 replica on the way too.

Let’s-a-go!

Apple has officially unleashed its next-generation M5 MacBook Air as well as the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, but it has also introduced the world to its new and far more affordable MacBook Neo. All three of the new models are now up for pre-order before shipments begin arriving on doorsteps mid next week, so we have now put together the best pre-order deals for folks to land a discount on their new 2026 MacBook.

Mario Day 2026 is already in full swing with up to 50% off physical Switch games and the annual eShop sale now live, not to mention these LEGO sets and a return all-time low on Samsung’s officially-licensed 256GB Switch 2 Express microSD, but it is now time for the Mario Day Direct. This year, with the theatrical release quickly approaching, Nintendo is set to host a dedicated Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct showcase and it goes live very soon. 

Last week Nintendo announced a surprise Nintendo Direct for Mario Day. It is perhaps not the main Direct you were hoping for with a new Mario game for Switch 2 or something, but instead a dedicated Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct showcase that is set to deliver our final good look at the new film ahead of release. 

Nintendo has now officially announced its Mario Day 2026 plans and the official eShop sale is already live. You’ll find loads of digital Mario and first-party Nintendo games, and then some, up for grabs right now. But the physical game deals are scheduled to hit on March 8 – that’s this upcoming Sunday – and today’s Target weekly ad preview has them on display. 

Nobody likes tariffs (almost nobody anyway), and neither does Nintendo. According to reports flooding the interwebs today, Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to get back some of those golden coins it lost when tariffs initially went in place ahead of the Switch 2 launch. 

ORICO makes some pretty neat compact smartphone gear, including docks, SSDs, and enclosures, and the K20 Mini we’re looking at today is one of its newer drives on its catalog. It’s a portable magnetic SSD that snaps onto the back of a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and connects via a short USB-C cable to add quick extra storage. I’ve actually replaced the Crucial X9 I used with my iPhone and MacBook with this drive, and you can learn more about the experience of using this drive below.

Alongside offering the best deals on pre-orders for the new MacBook Neo, M5 MacBook Air, and M5 Pro MacBook Pro, Best Buy is also getting particularly aggressive with the brand new M4-equipped iPad Air lineup Apple just unveiled. While pre-orders listings for the new iPad are live at Amazon, Best Buy has now slashed the price on the new M4 model with deals starting down at $559 shipped for everyone (you do not need to be a Plus or Total member). 

There is now (less than) one week left to take advantage of the major Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deals at this point. The new Galaxy handsets will officially release on March 11 and the clock is now ticking to get in on the pre-order offers – up to $900 or more off the price of the phones with trade-ins, $150 in store credit to score FREE Galaxy Buds 4 and much more, as well as our exclusive bonus $30 credit available through our links. 

It is time to take a look at the best M5 Pro MacBook Pro pre-order deals. Apple’s latest and greatest new pro-grade MacBook models are going up for pre-order today and we are now tracking a chance to land a FREE $100 gift card with purchases alongside some notable trade-in values that can effectively slash up to $800 off the cost of your new machine. These pre-order deals are now live at Best Buy and we are expecting Amazon to offer up some notable offers any minute now. Details below. 

It’s not just you, Amazon appears to be down. At this point it seems like just the store is actually down, but it’s hard to say for sure. We started to see some oddities on listings over the last few hours and now it looks like most of its Gold Box page and many of the actual listings pages are either not loading properly or Amazon is in the middle of some kind of visual overhaul.
