Sony’s beastly new console is a niche product for PlayStation gamers who want the ultimate experience. The PlayStation 5 Pro is a console equivalent to the iPhone Pro Max or Kindle Signature but is still cheaper than a PC gaming rig. It has a very powerful GPU, capable of rendering 4K games at 60 fps, an AI upscaler for texture polishing, new ray tracing and a massive 2TB SSD to store all your games. (There’s no disc drive, though.) And, as you’ll learn in our full review, the PS5’s back catalog has never looked better.
There are good arguments for not buying the PlayStation 5 Pro – it’s a solid midcycle console that works at a base of $700 – but if you haven’t jumped on the PS5 bandwagon yet, it offers a solid experience that doesn’t compromise.

Google accidentally leaked a preview of its Jarvis AI that could take over computers
It appeared only briefly.
Google’s new AI prototype found its way into the public by accident via the Chrome Web Store. It’s a little different from the Siris, Alexas and Geminis of this world, though. The store page described the Jarvis prototype as a “handy web browsing companion” that uses web browsers to take care of common tasks, such as grocery shopping, booking flights and researching articles.
