I've read 22 books so far this year, thanks in part to Audible. My love for the Amazon-owned app and audiobooks in general is well documented by now, but it bears repeating. Audiobooks are the best for screen-free entertainment. It's like reading with your ears; listening to a book triggers the same parts of your brain and feeds your imagination the same way as traditional reading. The difference is it gives you the freedom to multitask as you absorb the stories.

If you're looking to dabble in audiobooks, Audible is one of the best apps for it. And through June 9, you can stack up your TBR list for less during Audible's sitewide sale.

Video game developer CD Projekt Red stopped by the State of Unreal 2025 event to show off new footage from The Witcher 4, the upcoming release in its popular series. The cinematic trailer shown to attendees features a group of traveling merchants ambushed in the dark by a Manticore, a familiar winged beast to longtime fans. We then see our new protagonist and Witcher, Ciri, stepping in to take it down.

That’s where the trailer ends. But for those curious about how CD Projekt is leveraging Unreal Engine 5, there's a tech demo that was shown off immediately after, which you can also watch online.

It’s not a full gameplay reveal, and there’s no release date yet. Still, the studio says the goal is to hit 60 fps with ray tracing enabled on the base PlayStation 5. An ambitious promise, especially after the disastrous Cyberpunk 2077 launch.

Trudging through tasks with an old laptop is not a nice experience. They tend to slow down, get glitchy, and refuse to operate when not plugged into the wall. If you've been dealing with an old(er) MacBook on account of shuddering at a price of a new laptop, Amazon has your back today.

As of June 3, the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is on sale for $986.95, marked down from the normal price of $1,199. That means you'll be getting an 18% discount and saving $212.05. And as a bonus, you'll be scoring the laptop for the lowest price we've ever spotted at Amazon.

Dropping over $1,000 on a new laptop can feel a bit upsetting which is why today's deal is a sigh of relief. Equipped with the new M4 chip, the 15-inch MacBook Air also comes with Apple's upgrade to 16GB RAM.

SEE ALSO: The 11-inch Apple iPad (A16 chip) is back to its best-ever price at Amazon

Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder's hands-on testing mentioned the MacBook Air M4 is an overall upgrade in tons of areas. "It's powerful, silent, and comes with a couple of much-needed upgrades. It's also cheaper than before, making it the best-buy Apple laptop, period," wrote Schroeder.

In Mashable's ranking of the best MacBooks, the MacBook Air M4 earns the top spot. One of the only downsides Mashable noted was the refresh rate which is capped at 60Hz. But overall, it's a still a great machine that comes in at an even more affordable price with today's deal.

If you've been dreaming of the day you can snag a new MacBook, today is a great day. While the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 is under $1,000 at Amazon, upgrade to the latest model that comes with plenty of improvements. While we continue to see prices rise, now's your chance to snag a great deal.

We love the wallet-friendly Bose Smart Soundbar, but the Smart Ultra Soundbar takes things up a notch or two. And a 22% price drop makes it a more approachable purchase.

You can grab the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar at Amazon in black for just $699, down from $899. That's $200 off. While the white colorway has been cheaper once before, this is the lowest-ever price on record for the black option.

SEE ALSO: I've tried every model of Bose headphones and my favorite pair is now $100 off

While we haven't had a chance to test the Smart Ultra Soundbar, our sister site PCMag (also owned by publisher Ziff Davis) spent some time with it and called it "a powerful one-piece soundbar that delivers big sound with plenty of spatial audio detail, and ample audio streaming features." It earned their coveted Editors' Choice award and a glowing 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Its minimal aesthetic can slip into any home theater setup seamlessly without taking up much real estate. But don't mistake its simple looks for a simple soundbar. This thing is packed with features like AdaptiQ, which allows the soundbar to measure your room's acoustics and adjust the balance for optimal sound and spatial imaging based on where you sit. Amazon Alexa is built-in for your convenience, along with Apple AirPlay and Google Cast. And when you open the Bose Music app, you can connect the soundbar to your WiFi network, toggle on features like AI Dialogue Mode, group the soundbar with other Bose speakers, or directly pair it with other Bose accessories. While there's no EQ modes, the app does offer individual controls for bass, treble, center channel, and height channel.

It's a bit steep at full price, but with a $200 discount, it's certainly a worthy option for a one-piece home theater solution.

SWITCH INTERNET, GET A FREE SWITCH: Through June 4, new Verizon home internet customers will get a free Nintendo Switch after the first 65 days of their plan. That's a value of $299.99.

It's officially Nintendo Switch 2 release week, and we're continually being reminded of the chaos this little console is stirring up. As presale stock dwindles, so do your options: If you definitely want to upgrade from your old Switch, you may be brawling in person at your local Target or Best Buy.

If you never owned a Switch at all, maybe settling for a first gen Switch doesn't sound that bad — especially if it were, say, completely free? Verizon has brought back its free Nintendo Switch promo through June 4. It requires switching to Verizon Home Internet and maintaining your plan for at least 65 days. Plans start at $35 per month.

SEE ALSO: I tried the Nintendo Switch 2 GameChat feature, and so far I'm impressed

So this is essentially a total savings of $299.99, though it sounds like even more of a steal compared to the Switch 2's $449.99 price tag — and that's before any games are added to the bill. Unless you'd be buying the Switch 2 specifically to play Mario Kart World on day one (and you'd be valid for that), it might be worthwhile to snag the free Switch to at least hold you over until more Switch 2 games come out.

The main differences between the Switch and Switch 2 include a larger, more high-res screen on the Switch 2, plus HDR and 120Hz support. Obviously, the Switch 2 can handle a shit ton of new games that won't be available on the original Switch. You can also use a Joy-Con as a mouse. The first Switch has lasted people for nearly a decade, so if the Switch 2 possesses similar longevity, splurging on this steep new console now isn't a horrible investment. But until more games are released, it may not be at its best value just yet.

The last two years saw the launches of the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S VR headsets, but it sounds like we'll have to wait a bit for the next one. It also sounds like the next one will be something a little different.

UploadVR reported that Meta's next head-worn VR device might launch in 2026, but it likely won't be a big, bulky VR headset like we're used to seeing from Quest devices. Instead, the new report claims it will be a more open, lightweight headset with a tethered puck for processing power, rather than putting all the hardware in the headset itself. That's not dissimilar to the Apple Vision Pro, but there is at least one big difference worth noting.

SEE ALSO: Meta reportedly replacing human risk assessors with AI

According to an older report by The Information that originally shed light on this new Meta device, codenamed "Puffin," it looks more like a pair of big glasses than a headset and weighs less than 100g. That would be significantly lighter than the Vision Pro, which by Apple's own admission is about a 600g device. Puffin would also allegedly not include controllers, instead opting for control via hand gestures. That would limit its viability as a gaming device, but the existence of Puffin may not necessarily preclude the existence of another, more traditional Quest headset somewhere down the line.

Whatever ends up happening, it seems pretty clear that VR companies are finally discovering what the rest of us figured out years ago: Most people just don't want to wear a big, bulky computer on their faces that much.

Plus, with Zuckerberg's focus on AR glasses as the next big frontier in tech, we're not surprised to see Meta shift away from headsets and toward more glasses-like wearables.

I've tested my fair share of headphones and among the models I've tested, Bose always stands out. I've tested every pair of headphones and earbuds from the brand, and honestly, there's not a pair that disappoints. That being said, I do have a favorite: the Bose QuietComfort headphones. Plus, they're on sale now.

As of June 3, shop the Bose QuietComfort headphones for just $249. That saves you $100 off of its $349 price tag for 29% off.

Bose makes two tiers of their QuietComfort line: the basic and Ultra. The Ultra line is fantastic and includes the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever tested, but that shouldn't over shadow the affordable basic options. The Bose QuietComfort headphones start $60 less than the Ultras but deliver much of the same benefits.

They offer phenomenal noise cancellation. Having worn them on a plane, they let me keep my peace whether I'm watching a movie in-flight or drifting off to some music. Plus, they life up to their name and are truly comfortable, able to be worn for hours at a time without ear fatigue.

Samsung is urging some Galaxy owners to activate a theft-protection feature.

The company wrote in a statement that it was "encouraging smartphone users across the UK to enable and update the latest anti-theft features available on Samsung Galaxy devices" as a part of the "Home Office's ongoing work to drive new nationwide action to tackle mobile phone thefts."

Samsung wrote it would be sending an alert urging folks to update and enable these features to some 40 million U.K. account holders, though the features could also benefit users worldwide. The company has rolled out a number of security measures in its recent One UI 7 update, which includes biometric security, remote lock, and a theft detection lock tool, among others. While these features were already available with the newest Galaxy S25 models, they're now available on older devices as well.

"These features have now also been rolled out into a range of models across our devices and further updates will follow," Annika Bizon, mobile experience VP of product and marketing at Samsung, said in a statement. "We must do everything we can to ensure the safety and security of our customers when they are using their mobile devices and we will continue to work hard to ensure our customers are aware of the wide range of security features available to them."

To protect customers whose phones are stolen, One UI 7 includes anti-theft features such as instantly locking when theft is suspected, offline device locking, remote device locking, and new identity check safeguards.

Samsung also urged folks to update to its latest software, One UI 7. For further information on anti-theft tools and what to do if your phone is stolen, you can check Samsung's website.

Gamers will appreciate four HDMI inputs (two of which support 120Hz), an automatic gaming mode, and compatibility with Freesync Premium Pro. CNET's Ty Pendlebury particularly shouted out the low input lag on the Pro Series, noting that it has some of the best response times that CNET's team has seen in competing TVs recently.

Picture quality-wise, the Roku Pro Series is pretty mid — this just isn't the punchiest combination of vibrant colors and deep blacks you'll find on a TV in this price range. However, the full array of local dimming zones and mini quantum dots at least promise to provide snappier color than any old LED TV you may be trying to get rid of. For scenery-heavy new releases like Atomfall or Mario Kart World, that'll be crucial for the playing experience.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 offers far more health sensors than you'll find in an Apple Watch. Now, it comes with a sleep apnea and blood pressure monitor so that you can have accurate health data to bring to your medical provider. In addition to these sensors, it's also a phenomenal fitness tracker, as it calculates all of your data and with Samsung Galaxy AI produces a daily Energy Score.

Grab the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 for $199.99, its lowest price ever.

Buying a premium flagship model of anything tends to come with a steep price. That's true across the board whether you're buying a new electric car or the fanciest eggs on the shelf. But if you're shopping for a new Android device, you can score a flagship model with a hefty discount thanks to Amazon.

As of June 3, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (512GB) is on sale for $1,119.99 at Amazon, marked down from the standard price of $1,419.99. That shaves $300 off the normal price which works out to a 21% discount. Choose between the Titanium Whitesilver and Titanium Gray to snag this sale price.

Samsung's family of S25 phones continues with the super savings. Last week we noticed the base Galaxy S25 phone dip to the lowest price ever and the S25+ is also seeing a sweet $250 discount. But if you want the best of the best, today's deal on the S25 Ultra is a steal.

For starers, it's the brand's top-tier offering and it measures 6.9 inches on an AMOLED display that can reach 2,600nits of brightness. Like the others in the S25 family, the Ultra uses the zippy Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, but it comes with some significant camera upgrades.

The 5,000mAh battery is also top of the line, getting up to 31 hours of video playback time before you'll need to recharge. In Alex Perry's review of the phone for Mashable, he found the phone to last for almost 27 hours while looping a 1080p video on the phone's display. Since you probably won't be doing that in real life, you might be able to recharge the S25 Ultra every other day.

Another benefit of today's deal is that it's on the 512GB version of the Ultra so you'll have room for downloaded shows, movies, and the hundreds of dog pictures that tend to accumulate. The S25 Ultra also comes with an S Pen so you can circle to search all day long or write notes to your friends.

While it's $300 off, snag the powerful Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra at Amazon and then sit back to enjoy the speedy processor, long battery life, and functional S Pen.
