The Xebec Snap is both innovative and impressive, providing a versatile dual or tri-screen laptop solution. Its magic lies in how easy it is to set up and even change to meet your needs. Its bright 13.3-inch magnetic screens can flip and tilt to match your workspace and getting up and running is, well… a snap. It’s the easiest multi-screen laptop solution we’ve tested but comes with a price tag to match.
The Xebec Snap is a multi-screen laptop extension system that easily allows you to add a second or even third screen to your laptop. It’s hardly alone in its ability to do this — there are lots of similar systems, even from Xebec itself, but the Snap takes things to the next level with just how easy it is to work with.
Like most multi-monitor laptop solutions, the Snap works with a bracket that attaches to the back of your laptop’s monitor, but it’s also this bracket that makes it so special in this space. The first piece is that it’s spring loaded and can extend to fit displays from 13 to 17 inches — all but the biggest gaming laptops. There are no tools required and there’s no need to attach anything permanently to your monitor. The inner surface and frame are also coated in thick silicone to protect your laptop’s built-in screen.
I also have to note the neat scene that’s molded into this silicone guard. It shows a camper set up alongside a desert road. It’s a fun little touch that shows how Xebec has gone the extra step, and it’s just the first of a number of similar touches.
The bracket simplifies and enhances the setup process. Instead of having the screens permanently attach or fasten with any kind of tool, they’re instead held with strong magnets. Two fold-out wings extend from the back to flank your

You’ve heard of the Lands Between, but have you ever considered the Sands Between? That’s not a joke, that’s a genuine area in Another Crab’s Treasure, and I don’t think anything sums up the exact vibe that this game is going for better than the name of that one area. This is a love letter to and a sendup of so much of what FromSoftware has done, all wrapped up in a very cute crab protagonist just trying to get their home back, and a deeply unsettling message about pollution that we all already know, but don’t often get to play through.
Qualcomm officially took the wraps off the Snapdragon X Elite, revealing that there was not one but three SKUs that will be found in various premium notebooks, with the fourth one being the less powerful Snapdragon X Plus. The SoC was recently benchmarked in the upcoming Microsoft Surface Laptop 6, operating at 4.00GHz, suggesting that it is one of the two versions that supports boost clock technology. The scores show that Qualcomm’s latest and greatest silicon continues to outpace Apple’s M3, but it has yet to overtake the higher-end chipsets.
Qualcomm has officially unveiled its latest chip for laptops, the Snapdragon X Plus platform. This announcement comes after some earlier leaks hinted at its arrival. The new processor is positioned just below the previously announced Snapdragon X Elite chips.
Another Crab's Treasure might not look like a soulslike action RPG, but it is one. Take out the dark, oppressive nature of FromSoftware's output and replace it with SpongeBob, and you're more or less there. Purposely juxtaposing the established tropes of the genre, this title offers a fresh, more lighthearted experience without sacrificing the level of challenge you'd expect.
It’s wonderfully ironic that the biggest breath of fresh air the soulslike genre has received in years comes from an adventure that takes place entirely underwater. Where most dodge-rolling action games are drab, bloody, and edgelordian, Another Crab’s Treasure is bursting with bright colors, cartoonish sea creatures, and silly humor. That extreme departure from serious and spooky vibes makes it standout in an increasingly crowded space, even when it follows the formula extremely closely in every other regard. It suffers from overly simplistic combat, a general lack of challenge, and some bugs and camera wonkiness now and again – but with memorable characters, an extremely enjoyable story, and lots of original ideas, Another Crab’s Treasure had me grinning all throughout my 20-hour tour of the ocean floor.
