How the Suns benching Bradley Beal could tie into Jimmy Butler trade rumors.

The Phoenix Suns have the most expensive roster in the NBA. If the season ended today, Phoenix wouldn’t even make the play-in tournament in the Western Conference thanks to an atrocious stretch to end Dec. With the NBA trade deadline approaching on Feb. 6, the Suns feel like the league’s most desperate team, but their ability to add talent is heavily restricted...

We have a vague release window and price for the Roborock with an arm from CES 2025

It's unlikely that many people had a robot vacuum with a whole-ass arm on their CES 2025 bingo card. But alas, Roborock gave us one: the Roborock Saros Z70. While it hasn't been tagged with an official price just yet, word on the street is that the Roborock Saros Z70 will go for around $2,000. That's steep but expected, considering the current high-end Roborocks with no robotic limbs go for over $1,500-ish (a few hundred less if they're on sale).

Where can you buy the Roborock Z70?

5 new gadgets from CES 2025 that you can actually buy right now

As the Mashable team scampers around the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, there's one question that's top of mind every time we visit a booth or attend a demo: "That's cool, but when can I buy it?"

A lot of times, the answer is never. Many gadgets exhibited at the annual tech industry trade show are just concepts and prototypes that don't make it to market. (That Withings OMNIA smart mirror for at-home health screenings, for instance? Yeah, there's a good chance it'll...
