Apple recently approved a new emulator app called UTM SE that enables your iPhone or iPad (or Vision Pro!) to masquerade as PC hardware and run honest-to-goodness computer desktop operating systems. Some of you asked in the comments section of my last story how it runs — a fair question that I couldn’t answer at the time. But now that I’ve tried it a little, I have answers, and I can say this much: it’s better than I expected, but I wouldn’t count on it for too much.

While it's true that the 2021 ninth-gen iPad is no longer the latest model in Apple's tablet lineup, it's still worth considering by anyone who wants to get the best tablet they can without breaking the bank. It's already relatively affordable at its usual $329 price, but Amazon is currently discounting it considerably, saving you $100 on this sleek Apple tablet. That drop to $229 is the steepest we've seen to date, but it's a limited-time deal which means that it could end at any time and, importantly, without warning. Be sure to keep that in mind when considering your purchase.

Apple might have stopped selling the 9th-gen iPad, but that doesn’t mean it’s not still one of the best tablets for browsing, games, and streaming. The original MSRP was $329 and it’s usually on sale for $249, but today you can get it even cheaper: Amazon has slashed the raining stock of the 64GB iPad to $224, a savings of over $100 and the best price we’ve ever seen. The 256GB model is also on sale for $119 off bringing the price down to $360.

Windows 11 users could be treated to a range of minor (but useful!) tweaks which have been spotted in recent preview builds, including some nifty taskbar-related changes. One notable change introduced with the latest preview of Windows 11 in the Beta channel (build 22635) is a taskbar tweak that means a jump list appears when you hover over an icon on the bar. This list pops up to allow you to access features in the app with a quick click - so for example, with the Snipping Tool, you can click to take a screenshot there and then.Right now in Windows...
