• PS5 Bazzite Deck is a new spin on this gaming-focused version of Linux
• It allows you to boot your PS5 to a Steam Deck interface and play PC games
• You need to jailbreak your Sony console to run it (via the PS5 Linux loader), and that's a risky path to take for a number of reasons

Don't want to fork out all that cash for a Steam Machine? If you've got a PS5, you could turn it into a spin on Valve's gaming PC thanks to a custom version of a Linux distro — although the major catch is you'll need to jailbreak your console.

TechPowerUp noticed the PS5 Bazzite Deck project on GitHub, which takes this flavor of the gaming-focused Bazzite distro and adapts it for Sony's console. (Bazzite Deck is different from vanilla Bazzite, as it was built specifically for handhelds to offer an experience similar to SteamOS for the likes of the Asus ROG Ally — but without some of the headaches of running Valve's OS on that portable).

When PS5 Bazzite Deck is run on a jailbroken console, it'll boot straight into the Steam Deck interface (Steam Gaming Mode), and you can play your PC games from there.

You don't need to install the PS5 Bazzite Deck OS, either; you can just run it from a USB stick (via the PS5 Linux loader). As the developer VivaLaVent explains, when you next restart the PS5, it'll boot its own operating system again, and you'll be back at Sony's welcome hub.

So the PS5 isn't modified by running this OS as such, except for the fact that you have to jailbreak the console (then run the PS5 Linux Loader).

This project is compatible with the base PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles, and you can also switch to a desktop mode running KDE Plasma on your PS5, should you wish.

Of course, game compatibility is going to be hit-and-miss, although a gamer on Reddit observed that they've successfully run Horizon Zero Dawn, Palworld, Genshin Impact, and Rimworld — although Marvel Rivals was a non-starter.

Analysis: interesting times

I should make it very clear up front that I wouldn't recommend jailbreaking your console even as an experiment. There are potential legal ramifications (depending on where you live) with doing so, the possibility of Sony banning your account, and a whole raft of risks (including the third-party software involved, of course). So, if you do want to turn your PS5 into a take on a Steam Machine in this way, proceed at your own risk.

That said, there's an increasing amount of activity around getting the PS5 to run PC games, as you might have seen, so clearly this is something that quite a few gamers are interested in. Most notably, we've seen Playden, which is a very different way of running PC titles on a PS5, by using a compatibility layer (a custom port of Wine) to pull this off. PS5 Bazzite Deck differs in that it replaces the entire OS with a new one, as opposed to running on top of Sony's system.

By all accounts, PS5 Bazzite Deck is pretty slick. One Redditor shares their experience: "I've been using this distro for 4 days, and WOW! Seriously, it's way better than the others. There are constant updates that bring bug fixes."

The DualSense controller support is also niftily implemented by all accounts, as you can pair to both Linux and the PS5 system (saving you from unpairing when switching between the two). The controller's touchpad works like a mouse on the PS5 Bazzite Deck, and seemingly waking from sleep takes only two seconds (much faster than the PS5's normal wake time).

Another gamer on Reddit declares: "If the PS5 turns out to have been the perfect Steam Machine all along, it would be so funny."

But I refer you back to my previous advice on jailbreaking (and game compatibility). Still, this kind of modding is attention-grabbing, to say the least, and we're also seeing it in reverse, with a breakneck pace of development for PS5 emulation on the PC (very much accelerated by the use of AI, it's worth noting).

That effort is, of course, generating a ton of interest given that GTA 6 is nearly here, and indeed there are theories floating around that the work on that PS5 emulator could force Rockstar to launch the PC port much earlier than intended (before an emulated version is up and running). The rumor mill reckons we could see the PC version of GTA 6 early in 2027 as a result.

I reviewed the MacBook Neo way back in March, and even then I knew there was very little chance that I'd be giving our Laptop of the Year award to any other device at the TechRadar Product of the Year 2026 Awards.

It's not necessarily the best choice for everyone — many far more powerful laptops have been released this year, and if you want to play PC games on your laptop don't even think of buying the Neo — but what Apple did with the MacBook Neo is pretty incredible, and it set the tone for a lot of other laptops that have come out this year.

Apple has always been seen as a premium brand, offering expensive devices that (usually, but not always) justify their price tags with superior build quality, and the kind of lifespans that owners of Windows laptops, who feel they have to upgrade every five years, can only dream of.

With the MacBook Neo, however, Apple has produced a (relatively) cheap laptop that manages to keep a lot of what we love about Apple's more expensive MacBooks, while making it affordable for more people.

The timing couldn't have been better, as a global cost-of-living crisis has meant that more people are struggling to afford day-to-day essentials, let alone 'luxury' purchases like laptops. At a time when a lot tech is also increasing in price because of the RAM crisis, it was very welcome to see a company like Apple release a relatively inexpensive new device.

Before the Neo's announcement, rumors had been swirling that Apple was planning on announcing a cheaper MacBook, but I don't think any of us were expecting the earthquake of its $599 / £599 / AU$1,049 starting price.

I say 'earthquake' because not only was it a lot cheaper than expected, it changed the landscape of the laptop market, shaking Apple's competitors, and leaving them scrambling to come up with a response.

And respond they did, with the likes of Dell and Acer releasing laptops at a similar price point that were explicitly pitched as competitors to the MacBook Neo when I discussed them with the makers.

A victim of its own success?

(Image credit: Future)

The fact that the MacBook Neo has had such an influence on the laptop market is one of the key reasons why I've picked it as TechRadar's Laptop of the Year. The likes of the Dell XPS 13 (2026) and Acer Swift Air 14 have made affordable Windows 11 laptops worth buying again, and the higher price of the new Googlebook laptops have a more difficult time justifying their price tags when the MacBook Neo, and the laptops it inspired, offer such good value.

In fact, you could almost argue that the MacBook Neo proved a bit too successful in inspiring its competitors, especially given that, a few months after launch, Apple increased the price of the MacBook Neo by $100 / £100. Not only did this make the MacBook Neo less groundbreaking value (and less of an 'instant recommendation' when people asked me which laptop they should buy), but its competitors seem to have mostly held steady with their initial pricing.

All of a sudden, Apple appeared to have inspired its competitors to make rival products that were cheaper than the MacBook Neo. Whoops.

Despite that price bump, the MacBook Neo remains an excellent laptop that continues to offer plenty of value. If you're looking for a dependable, well-built laptop for day-to-day tasks that doesn't cost a fortune, it's still one of the best laptops you can buy — and it remains the cheapest way to get into the Mac ecosystem.

The MacBook Neo proved that, at a time when hardware prices appear to be rising inexorably, it's still possible to make an impressive, affordable device, without making too many sacrifices — and that's exactly what we need in 2026.

Prusa’s Core One+ is the 3D printer that changed the way our expert changed prints and thinks about 3D printing. Scoring the full 5 stars in our review, and an Editor's Choice award, he ran it for weeks without a single misprint. And the speed outclasses other multi-filament 3D printers.

So, I was excited to see the Core One+ for $999 in Prusa's early Black Friday sale (or £919 in the UK). Instead of cutting the price, Prusa is bundling the printer with hundreds of dollars worth of free stuff, including free filament and an OpenPrintTag upgrade.

• Best for: Professionals and engineers rapidly prototyping models.

• Why we like it: This is an exceptional 3D printer for serious users. We particularly liked the workshop-style design, which makes it a better fit for many business uses.

• What you need to know: The Core One+ has a smaller build area than the Core One, but shows improved speed and accuracy compared to other machines of its kind like the Bambu Lab H2C.

Core One+ Assembly Kit: $999
This early Black Friday deal bundles together just about the best 3D printer we've ever tested alongside free 1kg filament, four new models, a Prusa OpenPrintTag upgrade, an extended warranty, and $50 voucher for upgrading the machine further. Worldwide shipping is free. A pre-assembled version is available for a higher price.

UK bundle: now £919View Deal

Why we recommend it

The Core One+ is a fully enclosed CoreXY 3D printer. It has active chamber temperature control, a 250 x 220 x 270mm build volume and is capable of printing with PLA, PETG, TPU, PC and nylon.

The second-generation model builds on the first-gen machine's success with redesigned heatbed mounting and an integrated nozzle wiper. It also has new GT1.5 belts to reduce surface artefacts, which means smoother-looking surfaces with fewer visible repeating patterns.

We recently tested the Gen 2 and were completely blown away - it earned a five-star review and our Editor’s Choice award. Our expert Alastair was particularly enamoured with its multi-material printing capability, and he loved its speed and reliability, even saying it “changed the way I think about printing”.

The rig ran continuously for three weeks without a single reprint following its initial calibration, and its offline operating options and repairable design also impressed.

One thing to note: the eight-tool INDX system mentioned in our review is an optional extra, not a standard addition to the CORE One+, and it costs $949 to add to your configuration.

Prusa's Black Friday deal includes a $50 voucher that can be used toward an INDX tool-changing system.

Mistral releases Large 4, a 1-trillion-parameter open-weight AI model targeting cybersecurity. Here's what IT teams should know about costs and deployment.

The post Mistral Releases 1-Trillion-Parameter AI Model for Cybersecurity appeared first on TechRepublic.

• Researchers report the first confirmed PHP2Shell compromises, targeting organizations linked to the US government
• Attackers chained PHP2Shell with a Linux privilege-escalation flaw to gain root access and persistence
• Breaches progressed from initial compromise to Active Directory attacks within minutes, underscoring patching urgency

We now have confirmation of the first successful exploits of the infamous PHP2Shell vulnerability discovered earlier this month.

The news comes courtesy of cybersecurity outfit Dream, who claim to have seen attackers breach organizations affiliated with the US government.

PHP2Shell is a name given to two critical-severity vulnerabilities found in PHP. When they were first disclosed, most of the cybersecurity community went full panic mode, given that PHP powers roughly 70% of all websites and web apps on the internet, and there was no patch at the time. The flaws allegedly enabled complete website takeover, and some government and education organizations in Europe even preemptively shut down their websites, in anticipation of mass exploitation attempts.

But after the dust settled, a strange thing happened - there were no successful attacks. Researchers were seeing attempts and probes, but no successful breaches. Amazon said it observed first attacks four days before the patch, and Cloudflare later tracked “thousands” of attempts in the 10 hours before the patch was announced. This grew to tens of thousands within an hour of disclosure, and hundreds of thousands within two hours. Now, it’s gone into the millions.

Some said exploiting the bugs was easier said than done, and that threat actors were hitting different roadblocks, including Address Space Layout Randomization, a security feature that randomly changes where a program’s code and data are stored in memory every time it runs. Still, they warned that all of that might be temporary, and that a successful hit was a question of “when”, not “if”.

Targeting firewalls

Now it seems the claims were on point, as Dream says Chinese threat actors successfully chained PHP2Shell with a Linux kernel privilege-escalation flaw against Palo Alto Networks firewalls, breaching 25 servers, some allegedly belonging to US government-affiliated organizations.

The attacks started on October 23 2026, probing firms in the US, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, and soon focused on Palo Alto Networks’ PAN-OS-powered devices, running an older, vulnerable version of the OS.

According to Dream, the crooks chained PHP2Shell with Fragnesia, a local privilege escalation flaw that allows unprivileged users to obtain root access. It was disclosed in mid-May this year and is tracked as CVE-2026-46300.

After breaking into the devices, the attackers ran some 40 custom post-exploitation scripts, Dream added.

“Within hours of compromising a US government-affiliated firewall, they had tunneled into the internal network, compromised a third server using the same PHP2Shell exploit, and launched a full Active Directory attack campaign - all through a chain that started with a single unauthenticated HTTPS request to a management interface that should never have been exposed to the internet,” the company’s report reads.

Not automated

To make matters worse, the researchers believe the attackers still have unabated access.

“The total chain - from unauthenticated HTTPS connection to persistent root webshell - completes in under 15 minutes,” Dream said. The researchers could not say what the endgame was here because that information was not found in the artifacts they retrieved. Besides the obvious, which seems to be persistent access and credential theft, the threat actors could do anything from dropping backdoors to exfiltrating sensitive information.

In the context of “Black October”, and the fact we’re seeing a significant increase in automated attacks, it is also worth mentioning that this incident was likely not AI-powered.

Dream did find evidence of AI usage but believes it was not fully automated. Claude Code was installed, as was an offensive security platform called AIscan, which was configured with Chinese AI models DeepSeek and Kimi. Furthermore, they found API keys for FOFA, a Chinese counterpart to the Shodan search engine.

With the help of FOFA, the attackers allegedly identified around 19,000 internet-connected Palo Alto Networks firewalls, which they used as a starting point for their attacks.

Happy Halloween to all who celebrate the spookiest time of the year. And, whether or not you'll be trick and treating this weekend, the world's best streaming services have released some must-see new movies, shows, and documentaries that you can enjoy with our without candy.

There's something for everyone, too. From the latest Minions-starring movie to a Netflix documentary about the late Matthew Perry, I'm confident one of the below recommendations will appeal to you. Enjoy — and don't eat all of your Halloween sweets in one sitting! — Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter

The One About Matthew Perry (Netflix)

It's rare for a documentary to headline one of our streaming round-ups. Given the subject matter, though, I suspect few would argue with The One About Matthew Perry doing so.

A docufilm about the much-loved actor best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, it explores the man behind the Hollywood icon. With intimate testimonies from Perry's family and closest friends, The One About... offers a raw, unedited look at a star whose light shone brightly —despite his well-documented battles with drugs and alcohol — before his sudden death in late 2023.

Hopefully, The One About Matthew Perry will be a celebration of his life and legacy, and an inspirational testimony to his candidness and tireless advocacy against substance abuse. — TP

Minions and Monsters (Peacock)

Everyone's favorite, babbling yellow bean-like creatures are back. That's right, the Minions have returned for another standalone feature, this time in Minions & Monsters, which is out now on Peacock.

Set in 1927, it follows James, Ed, Henry, and company as they attempt to make a monster movie of their own amid the Golden Age of Hollywood. Unsurprisingly, things go awry pretty quickly, forcing the titular beings to save the day once more.

Praised by critics for its love letter-style approach to Old Hollywood, Minions & Monsters didn't perform as well as its predecessors did at the global box office. Is that down to Minions burnout? Who's to say, but you can see if it lives up to the hype by tuning in at home. — TP

The Gilded Age season 4 (HBO Max)

The Gilded Age season 4, which premieres on HBO Max this Sunday, skips ahead six months from last season's finale and sees Bertha Russell's relentless social climbing come under scrutiny.

Previously, Bertha forced her daughter Gladys into a marriage with the Duke of Buckingham to secure her social standing, causing her husband George to leave her, as he was furious with the decision. By season 4, George has completely moved out and now everyone's gossiping about their failed marriage.

Outside of Bertha's dramatic life, season 4 features real historical moments like the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, so there's a lot for period drama lovers to enjoy. — Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer

Apocalypse Z: New World (Prime Video)

Zombie movies are a Halloween staple and Prime Video's got you covered with a new Spanish-language release.

Apocalypse Z: New World is the follow up to Amazon's Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End. You could even have a double bill, if you like.

This time, we follow a new protagonist as he sets out from the refuge of the zombie-free Canary Islands to the mainland (anyone else getting 28 Years Later vibes?) in search of essential supplies. It's a risky decision, and there's danger at every turn. There'll no doubt be thrills in abundance here, and I can't wait to watch it all unfold. — LB

Dexter: Resurrection season 2 (Paramount+)

Dexter Morgan's going through a midlife crisis in Dexter: Resurrection season 2. It's been four years since the show revival's debut outing, and there's a lot for us to catch up on even beyond what Dexter is going through on a personal level.

Indeed, the titular character is caught between two major serial killers, while his son Harrison launches a career as an NYPD homicide rookie. On top of this, expect to see some ghosts from Dexter's past, too.

Will he ever catch a break? It certainly doesn't seem that way, but it's entertaining for all of us Paramount+ viewers, at least. — LB

• Watch Dexter: Resurrection season 2 on Paramount+

Nocturne (Apple TV)

Apple has become many people's go-to streamer for top-tier television — and Nocturne is the latest offering to try to add its name to the tech giant's growing list of unmissable shows.

Billed as a gripping crime drama, the Apple TV Original stars Liev Schreiber as Jonah, a soldier-turned-homicide detective who relocates to a small Pennsylvania town alongside his family, including surrogate daughter and FBI agent Saga (Zazie Beetz). However, when they suddenly garner the attention of an imprisoned yet cunning serial killer Jurek (Stephen Graham), a twisty-turny game of cat and mouse ensues.

Episodes 1 and 2 are out now, with the final four releasing weekly up to November 27. — TP

Last One Laughing: Halloween (Prime Video)

Last One Laughing is back with a Halloween special, featuring some of the biggest names in comedy.

Returning contestants Daisy May Cooper and Lou Sanders are joined by Jack Dee, Phil Wang, Reece Shearsmith, Harriet Dyer, and Tom Allen. They're all hoping to be — you guessed it — the last one laughing and win the series. But, it's not easy, and there'll be guest stars and surprises intended to make them lose their composure.

Thankfully, we're allowed to laugh as much as we want. And host Jimmy Carr is likely to be right there with us, given his reactions from the past two seasons. — LB

Ask a room of executives about agentic AI and within about ninety seconds someone will ask how many agents they ought to be running. It has become the default measure of progress: a number you can put on a slide, benchmark against a competitor, and report upwards.

It is also the wrong question.

Across the 200-plus workshops my team and I have run with enterprises in Europe and the Middle East, the organizations getting real value from AI tools are not the ones with the longest agent inventory. They are the ones who never framed the problem that way to begin with. They started by identifying a business problem or point of friction and worked backwards. Everyone else started from the technology and went looking for somewhere to put it.

There are four questions I hear constantly that are quietly steering good companies into Pilot Purgatory. Here they are, and here is what I would ask instead.

Don't ask how many agents. Ask what outcome you are improving.

Much of the last two years of enterprise AI has been about helping people work faster. Copilots that answer questions, assistants that summarize the meeting you have just sat through, tools that get you past the blank page. These are genuinely useful and I would encourage everyone to switch them on.

But speed is not the same as value, and agent count is not the same as either. No enterprise ever created value by accumulating agents. Value shows up in real business outcomes such as fewer payroll errors, faster shift scheduling, lower supplier sourcing costs, better win rates, cash collected sooner.

That is the difference between an agent and an agentic application. An agent help with an individual task. An agentic application coordinates teams of specialized agents to deliver a business outcome. If you cannot name the KPI an agent is moving, you do not have a use case. You have a demo.

Don't ask whether AI can recommend. Ask whether it can finish the job.

The most persistent confusion I encounter is between advice and execution. Plenty of systems can now sense a situation, spot the pattern and tell you what should happen next. That is real progress. It also leaves almost all of the work exactly where it was.

Take sourcing. An assistant can flag that a category is overdue for renegotiation and suggest you run an event. Someone still has to create that event, chase the responses, score them against commercial criteria, route the approvals correctly, update the contract and shepherd the whole thing to a close.

An agentic application does that work, under policy, with human oversight and approval where required, and with a record of what it did and why.

The test is simple. At the end of the interaction, is the process further forward, or do you just have a better-informed human facing the same queue?

Don't ask which model tops the leaderboard. Ask whether it understands your business.

Benchmark scores dominate the AI conversation and matter far less in the enterprise than most leaders assume. Raw model intelligence is rarely the binding constraint.

A frontier model understands procurement as a discipline. It does not understand your supplier list, your delegation-of-authority matrix, your contractual obligations, your current inventory position, or the three exceptions your finance director signed off in March. Without that, sophistication amounts to a well-argued guess.

Enterprise context is the differentiator: trusted enterprise data and business context, including the policies, approvals, transaction history, organizational structure and live process state that already sit inside your core systems. The closer agentic capabilities are to the systems where business processes, data, security, and approvals already live, the more effectively agents can understand context and act within establish controls.

Don't ask for one system that does everything. Ask how the specialists coordinate.

There is a persistent hope that enterprise AI will eventually resolve into a single, omniscient digital assistant. Businesses do not work that way, so their AI will not either.

Organizations are ecosystems of specialists: finance, HR, supply chain, service, sales, each with its own expertise, obligations and objectives. The equivalent in AI is not one agent that knows everything, but coordinated teams of agents that know their own domain and work towards a shared goal.

Hiring is a good illustration. One agent surfaces and screens candidates. Another prepares onboarding. A third confirms the budget is genuinely available. A fourth keeps the hiring manager's approvals moving. Individually, each is modestly useful. Together they move a business process from vacancy to first day. The value sits in the coordination, not the components.

Systems of outcomes

What connects all four questions is a shift in what enterprise software is actually for. For decades our applications recorded what had happened. We are now entering the era of systems of outcomes: software that reads the state of the business, reasons over it, and acts to keep work moving towards a defined objective.

That shift demands different questions from leadership. Not how many agents, but which outcome. Not can it advise, but can it execute. Not how clever is the model, but how well does it know us. Not one brain, but one team.

Get the questions right and the technology decisions become considerably easier. Get them wrong and you will assemble an impressive collection of agents, tools, and models that nobody can tie to a number that matters.

• Amazon CEO says he isn't worried about AI shopping agents like Muse
• Amazon had blocked Meta's AI agent from its ecommerce site
• Jassy says the AI agent experience is still "not great"

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has said he is not worried about the effect of AI-powered shopping agents such as Meta Muse, saying the services are still "not great".

Speaking after the company revealed yet another set of record financial results, Jassy told analysts barely any customers are using shopping agents as the experience is “still not great, nor more convenient than coming to a retailer directly.”

Jassy’s comments followed Amazon's decision to block Meta's new AI assistant, Muse, from accessing its online store in September 2026, claiming this would violate the conditions of use its customers have agreed to.

Muse is not doing the business...yet

Since its launch in September 2026, Muse has proven popular with customers, despite several examples of the service accessing information it was not supposed to.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently claimed that more than 10 million people across the US and Canada had already set up Muse, and that it had toppled ChatGPT as the top free app on the Apple App Store.

Experts have warned it may still not be up to scratch, after a security researcher found a worrying zero-day vulnerability which allowed attackers to gain access to people’s apps, such as WhatsApp or email.

Data from Surfshark also identified Muse as the most data-hungry chatbot around, outperforming all its competitors when it comes to data harvesting.

Meta has already signed up a range of top retailers, including Walmart, Best Buy and Shopify, to integrate with Muse, but Amazon has yet to join the group. The company is largely reliant on human shoppers visiting the Amazon website, where they can be exposed to advertisements and suggested products which nets the business its biggest returns.

Jassy did claim that more than 400 million customers have used Alexa for shopping in the last year, and that “customer interactions” had grown 570% year over year.

US customers using its Alexa also spent 50% more per order than those who do not use it, Jassy revealed, perhaps signaling that the service will be expanded in the coming months.

You run a company with employees across different regions—effective collaboration can get pretty hectic. You need a tool that bridges the distance between employees, enabling them to collaborate in real-time like they were in an office. Miro is one such tool.

Founded in 2011 as a simple whiteboard tool, Miro was built to enable remote workforces to collaborate seamlessly. Think of it as a digital whiteboard where employees can share ideas regardless of their location. They can add text, images, flowcharts, design prototypes, and other visual information to the whiteboard, and colleagues can leave comments, message each other directly, or add their own visual elements.

I conducted extensive testing to help you decide whether Miro is the best choice for your workplace. What are its features, and what sets it apart from other collaboration tools? This review dives deep into these questions and helps you make the best choice.

Miro: Plans and pricing

Miro offers a free plan, but with restricted features. This plan supports only 3 editable boards and 5 Talktracks (a feature for giving interactive walkthroughs of a dashboard). However, upgrading to a paid plan allows unlimited boards and Talktracks, along with other features.

The Starter plan costs $8 per month per user. It lets you export Miro boards in PDF or JPG format, restore previous board content with version history, share boards with unlimited visitors, and create private boards with restricted access.

The Business plan costs $20 per month per team member. It provides all the features of the Starter plan, and adds the option to invite unlimited guests to collaborate on a whiteboard, single sign-on (SSO) for security, and advanced visual processing.

There’s also an Enterprise plan with custom pricing, available for companies with at least 30 employees. You can contact Miro’s sales team to negotiate prices for this plan.

Miro: Features

Miro’s features center on a virtual whiteboard where employees can collaborate in real-time. On this whiteboard, users can share everything from checklists to product prototypes, images, articles, slides, and tables. Miro provides built-in templates for these visual elements, so you don’t have to create them from scratch. Instead, pick a template and quickly edit it to get what you want.

Suppose your team is working on a new website development project; you can create separate whiteboards for ideas, prototypes, and code. On the idea board, team members can quickly share website ideas, and others can comment on them. On the prototype board, designers will share their website prototypes and brainstorm which to pick. On the code board, developers can share and leave comments on each other’s code.

If your team needs to invite outsiders to collaborate on the project, you can simply generate a link and share it with them. Outsiders don’t have to create an account to view your whiteboard, but they need an account to edit or add visual elements. Likewise, you can export a whiteboard in PDF or JPG format and share it with stakeholders, like the client the website is being developed for.

I like that Miro heavily incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) into its platform. Instead of creating every element from scratch, you can use AI to generate text, images, prototypes, charts, and tables for your project. This reduces the time your team spends on planning for each project. However, Miro’s AI tools shouldn’t be 100% relied on—always review the output for errors and unnatural patterns, more so when generating text.

Miro: Interface

If I were to highlight just one thing about Miro, I’d go with its user interface. It beats most competitors out of the water in this category. Miro has a modern, visually appealing interface that feels almost perfect. Features are neatly arranged on the left and top sides of the dashboard, and the rest of the space neatly displays what you’re working on. You can easily drag and drop elements from one position to another, or copy and paste them.

(Image credit: Miro)

The interface uses minimal colors, a light background, and generally adheres to a simple design. Think of it as entering a contemporary home with all furniture spaciously arranged. You wouldn’t have problems figuring out how to use Miro. First-time users have on-screen tutorials to guide them through the interface.

Miro: Support

If you need assistance with Miro, you can first check its official Help Center for user guides and answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs). The user guides are detailed and cover every feature available on Miro, so you’ll likely find a solution in them. From the basics to third-party integrations and advanced features like porting Miro boards to other apps, this Help Center provided great value during my test.

But if the Help Center isn’t sufficient, you can contact Miro’s support team via email, or by filling out an online form and waiting for an email response. I didn’t find live chat or telephone support, which I consider a disadvantage.

Miro: Competition

Out of many competitors, Figma’s FigJam is the top one I’d like to highlight. Figma is a collaborative design tool, and FigJam is its whiteboard platform. Like Miro, FigJam lets users share text, graphics, charts, and other interactive elements on the same board, then export this board or invite external users if needed.

FigJam has a stellar user interface like Miro. However, it doesn’t have as many third-party integrations and project management features. FigJam is best suited for design teams already using Figma, while Miro is suitable for a broader range of projects.

Miro: Final verdict

Miro is an effective whiteboard tool I recommend for all types of businesses. It makes collaboration seamless and keeps teams in sync when working on projects. It’s user-friendly, has rich templates, and also has a broader library of third-party integrations than most rivals.

Editor's picks — top deals today

We've been waiting for a decent price cut on the Google Pixel 11 — and here it is, finally. Available right now is a healthy $200 price cut across all color variations, which is a fantastic discount on this expensive device. The higher price was one of our main complaints about the Pixel 11, so this makes it an easy recommendation, considering you get the very latest chipset in this device, plus the interesting new HiLight feature. View Deal

The Sony WH-1000XM5 are a whole lot cheaper now that there's a slightly newer model in the range. That's a huge benefit because these excellent noise-cancelling headphones are easily still some of the best on the market. Not only do you get fantastic ANC performance and a comfortable fit, but the M5 also have a really nice modern design. Unlike the M6 they don't fold, but otherwise, it's a great idea to simply go for the older model and save some cash.View Deal

PowerDetect Speed cordless vacuum: was $499.99 now $199.99
The PowerDetect Speed is a fantastic cordless vacuum that's perfect for short cleans. Not only does it handle hair, fine dust, and larger debris without any issue, but you also get a really useful auto-empty dock. Our only complaint with this particular model is its short battery life, but otherwise, it's an absolute steal at just $199. View Deal

C6 65-inch OLED TV: was $2699.99 now $1399.99
The LG C6 is the successor to our best-rated TV, LG's C5 OLED, and it has a whopping $1,200 discount at Best Buy's sale. This year's OLED TV delivers more accurate, brighter colors than the C5, with powerful contrast thanks to its new Alpha 11 AI processor. The C6 also includes impressive gaming features and LG's intuitive smart TV platform.View Deal

Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle: $499.99
Nintendo Switch 2 bundles have been a rare sight in recent months, so it's good to see this customisable option available at Best Buy.

This is the Google Pixel Watch 5's first ever price cut, and honestly? It's a pretty damn good deal overall. We think the Pixel Watch 5 is an iterative upgrade over the previous model, but it is a fantastic smartwatch for sure, We love the repairable teardrop design, and the top-tier health features like Loss of Pulse detection are great, too. Overall, a very strong contender if you want a do-it-all smartwatch.View Deal

Best Buy Doorbuster sale — Laptops

Processor: MediaTek Kompanio 540
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 128GB

You don't always find a laptop with 8GB of memory for under $300, so this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook really stands out in Best Buy's sale. Other components are good for light use, but that bump to 8GB of RAM will really help with everyday performance and load times. It's still a fairly basic laptop, but with enough extra power to avoid dramatic slowdown when multitasking.View Deal

Processor: Intel Core 5
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 256GB

If you just need a Windows machine to cover the basics, this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i is a great choice. It's not suitable for high-end workloads, but the combination of an Intel Core 5 chipset and 8GB of RAM will set you up nicely for simple tasks like web browsing or streaming videos. View Deal

Storage is also solid with a 512GB SSD, so this is an impressive laptop for the price for everyday, college and business use.View Deal

Display - 14 inches
Processor - AMD Ryzen AI 5
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB

I think this OmniBook X Flip could be one of the best laptop deals in the Best Buy sale, full stop. Not only do you get a decent Ryzen 5 chipset and 16GB of RAM for a reasonable price, but this machine features a premium 2K OLED display. That's quite rare on a $600 machine, so this is definitely a solid pick for an everyday laptop if you don't need a machine with a really high-end Ryzen 7 or Core 7 chipset.View Deal

OmniBook X Flip: was $1199.99 now $832.99
Display - 16 inches
Processor - Intel Core Ultra 7
RAM - 16GB

MacBook Air 13-inch (M5): was $1299 now $1149

Processor - Apple M5
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB

Our reviewer called the newest MacBook Air M5 "the best ultraportable I've ever used" and awarded it 4.5-stars, so it's every bit as good as its already excellent predecessor. As well as the powerful and efficient M5 chip, the latest MacBook Air boasts a slick 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD as standard. Those are solid overall specs for all-around use, productivity, and creative tasks.View Deal

MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5, 2025): was $1999 now $1849
Display - 14 inches
Processor - Apple M5
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 1TB

Apple's powerful MacBook Pro with the latest M5 chip and a chunky 1TB of storage is on sale at Best Buy. Boasting that powerful M5 chip, a gorgeous Liquid Retina display and an impressive 18 hours of battery life, this is a complete creative workstation. We awarded this model a solid four stars out of five in our MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) review, praising the overall performance, elegant design, and long-lasting battery, but we were disappointed by the lack of a larger redesign and the overemphasis on AI features rather than other useful upgrades.View Deal

Graphics card: RTX 5070
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB

There are a number of gaming laptops on sale at Best Buy today, but this Asus TUF is arguably the best value. It's really cheap for a machine with an RTX 5070 graphics card and Ryzen 9 chipset, although you do sacrifice a little bit of storage and RAM. Still, even with 16GB of RAM this machine will provide impressive performance across a range of titles. View Deal

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel Core 3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 128GB

While this HP 14 Chromebook offers a similar level of power to the Acer above, it does come with a smaller, higher-resolution display. If easier portability and a sharper image are more important to you, then I would consider paying the little extra to get this device instead. It also has a more modern processor, which isn't dramatically more powerful, but will be better supported and more efficient for general use.View Deal

XPS 13 Laptop: was $999.99 now $799.99
Display - 13.4 inches
Processor - Intel Core 5
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB

Graphics card: RTX 5070
Processor: AMD Ryzen Al 7 350
RAM: 32GB
Storage: 1TB

This Gigabyte Aero X16 is easily one of the cheapest RTX 5070 gaming laptops you'll find anywhere right now. It was already quite cheap at $1,500 considering how expensive components are now, but at just under $1,400, it's an absolute steal. Not only do you get an RTX 5070 graphics card, but it also packs in 32GB of RAM and a decent Ryzen 7 chipset. View Deal

ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop: was $2299 now $1799.99
Graphics card: RTX 5070 Ti
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 1TB

This Asus ROG Strix G16 is a great value considering you get both an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card and a Ryzen 9 chipset. In short, you'll get great performance here right out the box - if you're willing to overlook the fact that this machine does only have 16GB of RAM. Still, that won't slow down the RTX 5070 much, so I'd definitely be tempted to pick this one up.View Deal

F50 Series 55-inch 4K Fire TV: was $349.99 now $199.99
This large and budget-friendly 55-inch TV from Insignia supports high-quality 4K HD resolution, has smart capabilities with the Fire operating system, and a voice remote with hands-free Alexa controls.

If you're looking for a mid-sized budget display, Best Buy has this 50-inch 4K TV on sale for $229.99. It won't rival the premium QLED and OLED displays, but this entry-level TV from Samsung still packs a solid 'Crystal' UHD 4K processor, the easy-to-use Tizen operating system, and full HDR support. That's good value for money if you need a straightforward but capable display for your everyday viewing and media streaming.View Deal

The Toshiba C350 is getting older now, but finding a 75-inch 4K smart TV for under $400 is still an amazing deal. Toshiba's C350 is a 4K TV with HDR support, delivering solid picture quality for everyday viewing. Access to streaming apps is easy with the Fire TV OS, which has Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, and more at your fingertips. It's not as powerful as many premium options, but if you're on a tight budget and want a large display, this is an excellent option.View Deal

You get a lot of top TV tech for the money in a reasonably sized display, including a bright and vibrant QLED panel with excellent contrast, and a high 165Hz refresh rate support for smooth images. It will excel as a TV to watch the World Cup, as well as stream all of your favorite shows and movies, and play the latest games.View Deal

It uses a new-gen Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 OLED panel and a new Alpha 11 AI Gen 3 processor to deliver a better bright-room viewing experience than the previous model. With four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting a full suite of features, the G6 is also a fantastic gaming display.View Deal

F20 32-inch HD Fire TV: was $129.99 now $69.98
It's one of the smallest and cheapest TVs you can buy, but if that's all you need, then this Insignia F20 is very hard to beat. Definitely don't expect the best picture quality or the fastest performance, but if you just need a display for infrequent streaming in a kid's room, the bedroom, or kitchen, then it's up to the job — and it doesn't cost very much at all.View Deal

QD50 58-inch Hi-QLED 4K TV: was $399.99 now $199.99
I can't speak too much about the overall quality of this TV given we haven't had extensive testing time, but I can't deny that it's a super low price for a TV of this size. It also sports the budget version of Hisense's QLED tech, which offers superior brightness and more vivid colors, although it's not as powerful as the premium displays. Still, this is a big and cheap TV that will be ideal for general everyday viewing and streaming for someone who isn't too bothered about getting the very best picture possible.View Deal

There's a decent $100 saving on the latest iPad Pro 11-inch at Best Buy, which we'll have to take after the recent price hike on Apple's tablets. Even at this higher price, you get the brand-new M5 chip, high-quality tandem OLED display and 256GB as standard.
