The Apple M4 MacBook Air is back on sale for $50 off

The Apple M4 MacBook Air is back on sale for $50 off

Maybe you're in a position where you suddenly need a new laptop to see you through the rest of the school year. Perhaps you've got a bigger tax return than expected and you want to treat yourself. Or it may be that you're a long-time Windows user and fancy a change. Whatever reason you might have for being interested in a MacBook Air, we've got another one. The M4 MacBook Air is back on sale for $949. That's $50 or five percent off. That deal is available for the sky blue and starlight colorways of Apple's laptop. But there's not terrible news if you prefer the midnight (black) look — that variant will run you just $5 more at $954. This deal is for the base model of the M4 MacBook Air. It's a 13-inch laptop with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage. The M4 MacBook Air arrived several weeks ago and it instantly became our top picks for both the best MacBook overall and the best laptop for most people, supplanting the previous model in both categories. We gave it a score of 92 in our review. We appreciated the light and thin design, excellent keyboard and touchpad, fast performance and the terrific battery life. The 13-inch model we tested (and the one that's on sale here) ran for 18 hours and 15 minutes while playing HD video. Our only real qualms with the M4 MacBook Air are that it could use more ports and the display (while otherwise great) has a relatively paltry refresh rate of 60Hz. One of the best things about the M4 MacBook Air is that Apple actually lowered the starting price for this generation of the laptop to $999 from $1,099 for the M3. That's a very welcome change. The current $50 (or $45) discount makes things even sweeter. Check out our coverage of the best Apple deals for more discounts, and follow @EngadgetDeals on X for the latest tech deals and buying advice.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/the-apple-m4-macbook-air-is-back-on-sale-for-50-off-143801604.html?src=rss

가트너 “엔비디아, 삼성·인텔 제치고 글로벌 반도체 매출 1위”

가트너 “엔비디아, 삼성·인텔 제치고 글로벌 반도체 매출 1위”

가트너에 따르면 2024년 전 세계 반도체 매출은 총 6,559억 달러로, 2023년(5,421억 달러) 대비 21% 증가했다. 이는 지난 2월 발표된 예비 조사 전망치보다 각각 약 300억 달러, 3% 증가한 수치다. 반도체 공급업체 순위도 예비 조사 전망치와 비교해 변동이 있었다. 최종 조사 결과에 따르면, 엔비디아가 사상 처음으로 삼성전자와 인텔을 제치고 1위에 올랐다. 엔비디아는 지난해 매출 766억 9,200만 달러로 전년보다 120% 급증했다.반면 기존 1위였던 인텔은 2024년 498억 달러 매출을 기록해 2023년 대비 0.8% 성장하는 데 그쳤다. 삼성전자는 656억 9,700만 달러로 2023년(400억 8,600만 달러) 대비 60.8% 성장률을 기록했다. 또한 2023년 230억 7,700만 달러로 6위였던 SK하이닉스가 지난해 91.5%(441억 8,600만 달러) 성장해 4위에 올라섰다. 메모리 평균판매가격 상승과 AI 애플리케이션용 고대역폭메모리(HBM) 분야의 선도적인 입지 덕분인 것으로 해석된다. 퀄컴, 브로드컴, 마이크론테크놀로지, AMD, 애플, 미디어텍이 반도체 부문에서 하이닉스의 뒤를 이었다.가트너 VP 애널리스트 가우라브 굽타는 “지난해 상위 10개 반도체 벤더의 매출 순위 변동은 AI 인프라 구축 수요의 급증과 메모리 매출이 73.4% 증가한 데 따른 것”이라고 설명했다.이어 그는 “엔비디아는 데이터센터의 AI 워크로드에 주로 사용되는 dGPU(discrete Graphic Processing Unit)에 대한 수요가 급증하면서 1위로 도약했다. 삼성전자는 수급 불균형에 따른 급격한 가격 반등으로 DRAM과 플래시 메모리 분야 모두에서 상승세를 보이며 2023년에 이어 2위 자리를 유지했다. 인텔은 주요 제품군 전반에서 경쟁이 심화되고, AI 프로세싱 수요의 견조한 증가의 수혜를 충분히 누리지 못해 2024년 매출 성장이 0.8%에 그쳤다”라고 분석했다[email protected]

세일즈포스 기고 |AI 에이전트 기반 혁신의 열쇠는 ‘CIO 리더십’

전 세계 기업이 AI 에이전트의 등장으로 인한 업무 환경과 비즈니스 모델 변화에 주목하고 있다. AI 에이전트는 인간의 개입 없이 복잡한 문제를 해결하고 최적의 패턴을 추론하는 역량을 갖추고 있다. 기업들이 단순한 자동화를 넘어 업무 프로세스 혁신을 기대하는 배경이다.하지만 AI 에이전트 기술을 자체적으로 개발·구현하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 복잡한 엔지니어링과 시스템 통합이 필요하며, AI의 최적 성능을 위해 고품질 데이터가 필수적이다. 미국의 대표적인 싱크탱크인 랜드 연구소(RAND Corporation)에 따르면, 기업의 AI 도입 성공률은 20% 미만에 그친다. 실패율이 일반적인 IT 프로젝트보다 두 배 높다. 이는 AI 도입이 신중한 접근이 필요한 과제임을 보여준다.지난 디지털 혁신의 역사가 증명하듯, 기업이 자체적으로 AI 에이전트를 위한 최적의 환경을 마련하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 이에 따라 전 세계 CIO들은 AI 기술을 자체 개발하는 방법을 택하는 대신, 검증된 AI 에이전트 플랫폼을 도입하는 방법을 택하고 있다.이유는 다양하다. 검증된 AI 에이전트 플랫폼을 활용할 경우 기업이 LLM과 데이터를 직접 구축하는 데 필요한 막대한 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 여러 성공사례들을 기반으로 자사 비즈니스의 목표와 특성에 맞추어 AI 에이전트를 최적화할 수 있다. 즉 글로벌 기업에서 이미 성과를 확인한 AI 에이전트 플랫폼 도입은 비용 효율성을 극대화하면서도 AI 도입 성공 가능성을 높이는 전략적 접근법이 될 수 있다.대표적 사례로 미국 생활가전 브랜드 샤크닌자가 있다. 샤크닌자는 AI 에이전트를 활용하여 24시간 실시간으로 고객의 반품 요청을 처리하고, 제품 추천을 제공하는 등 고객 응대를 자동화하고 있다. 또한, 고객의 구매 이력과 서비스 내역을 분석하여 맞춤형 응대를 제공함으로써, 고객경험 향상과 고객 응대 효율성 개선이라는 두 마리 토끼를 한 번에 잡았다.국제 자동차 프로 레이싱 대회인 F1 또한 AI 에이전트 플랫폼을 기반으로 팬 경험의 개인화는 물론, 스포츠 경험을 개선해 나가고 있다. AI 에이전트를 기반으로 로그인 오류나 스트리밍 문제와 같은 이슈를 실시간으로 해결하고, 데이터를 기반으로 개별 팬들의 특성에 맞는 맞춤형 경험을 제공하고 있다. F1은 AI 에이전트를 기반으로 고객 응답 시간을 80% 단축한 것은 물론, 팬들과의 관계를 더욱 강화하고 있다.곧 AI 에이전트의 혁신이 불러온 성공소식이 우리 기업에서도 들려올 것으로 보인다. 현재 많은 기업들이 AI 에이전트 도입을 검토 및 추진하고 있다.그러나 성공적인 AI 에이전트 도입은 CIO의 올바른 리더십을 근간으로 해야 꽃피울 수 있다. AI 기술 도입은 단순히 기술적 도전만이 아니라, 조직 문화, 변화 관리, 윤리적 문제 해결 등 전방위적인 리더십을 요구하는 매우 복잡한 과제이기 때문이다. 실제로 전 세계에서 신기술과 함께 빠르게 순항하고 있는 기업들의 공통점은 ‘CIO의 리더십’이다.AI 에이전트 시대 CIO의 리더십은 기술 그 자체가 아닌 기술이 창출하는 비즈니스 가치에 집중할 때 빛이 나게 될 것이다. 단순한 기술 도입을 넘어, 조직의 DNA에 AI를 통합하는 전략적 비전을 제시하고, 투자 비용과 리스크를 체계적으로 관리하며, 조직 전체가 이 혁신의 여정에 동참할 수 있는 문화를 조성할 수 있어야 한다.이러한 리더십으로 AI 에이전트 혁신을 주도하는 CIO들을 보유한 조직이야말로 글로벌 경쟁에서 우위를 점하고, 새로운 가치와 기회를 창출할 수 있을 것이다.손부한 대표는 2019년부터 세일즈포스 코리아 비즈니스를 총괄하고 있다[email protected]

Report: Apple is prepping a giant folding iPad for release next year

MacworldWhile everyone is waiting to see just how different the iPhone 17 lineup will be, an analyst with a decent track record has a prediction for next year–not one, but two folding devices from Apple.While we’ve already heard rumors that a folding phone is nearing release, GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu reports that Apple is planning to launch a 19-inch folding iPad later next year. As spotted by 9to5Mac, Pu says the so-called iPad Fold will launch alongside the folding iPhone next year.This is somewhat contradictory to a report earlier this week by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, in which he reported that 2027 would be the year Apple launched its first folding iPhone to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, similar to how Apple launched the iPhone X to mark the 10th anniversary.According to Pu, the folding phone will open to a 7.8-inch display, while the folding iPad will have a massive 18.8-inch display. That’s significantly larger than the largest tablet Apple currently offers, which tops out at 13 inches. A near-19-inch iPad would fold down to a device about the size of the iPad Pro.That sounds similar to a rumor floated by Gurman last year, who wrote that Apple was working on “something akin to a giant iPad that unfolds into the size of two iPad Pros side-by-side.” However, he said at the time that the device wouldn’t be ready for launch until 2028.Whichever report you choose to believe–for the record, Gurman has a better track record than Pu but both have had more accurate predictions than not–it seems as though Apple’s first folding screens are on the way. Get your wallets ready.

Vendor notebook: Google and IBM make moves on clinical and business AI

IBM and Google announced separate initiatives this week that use artificial intelligence in new ways to, respectively, expand enterprise intelligence services and surface clinical information at the point of care. Also, a new partnership seeks to improve social determinants of health program efficacy, reduce costs and deliver better outcomes for healthcare payers, providers, payviders, employers, patients and other healthcare stakeholders.New agentic AI at Seattle Children'sGoogle Cloud is partnering with Seattle Children's Hospital to launch an AI agent called Pathway Assistant that streamlines access to critical, evidence-based information within the hospital's clinical effectiveness program. Seattle Children's Clinical Standard Pathways tool can help providers improve patient outcomes for more than 70 diagnoses. The partners, including more than 50 of the Seattle health system's providers, built the clinical decision-making tool with Google's Gemini machine learning models on Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform to enhance clinical decisions and reduce provider workload burdens.The AI agent quickly synthesizes text, images and the latest medical literature at the point of care, which could take up to 15 minutes if done manually. It's a significant step forward in delivering quality care, according to Dr. Clara Lin, the hospital's vice president and chief medical information officer. "We are committed to offering our doctors and other healthcare providers the most cutting-edge tools to enhance their decision-making," Lin said in a statement. The tool also reduces provider workloads and extends the "collective wisdom of all the medical professionals who authored the pathways" to providers using the AI consultant, said Dr. Darren Migita, Seattle Children's medical director of clinical effectiveness. Google said that the use of the HIPAA-compliant tool will be measured against qualitative and quantitative measures developed to assess both patient and physician outcomes and that the hospital will retain control over its data.IBM expands enterprise intelligence servicesThe tech giant announced the acquisition of New York-based Hakkoda, a data and AI consultancy that IBM Consulting says will help its clients build an integrated enterprise data infrastructure that can fuel AI-driven business processes. The addition of the specialized data platform expertise expands IBM's data transformation services portfolio, which could speed up clients' data modernization efforts. "With Hakkoda's data expertise, deep technology partnerships and asset-centric delivery model, IBM will be even better positioned to deliver value faster to clients as they transform with AI," Mohamad Ali, senior vice president and head of IBM Consulting, said in a statement.Hakkoda is also a Snowflake partner, adding core and advanced certifications to IBM's portfolio and an advanced-tier partner of Amazon Web Services.A new SDOH accountability frameworkTo optimize member health outcomes and better inform social risk management decisions, Socially Determined, Mathematica and MedeAnalytics are collaborating to develop a data-driven, actuarially validated framework that assesses the ROI of decisions around social determinants of health.Texas-based MedeAnalytics, the healthcare enterprise data enrichment and analytics software-as-a-service platform, called the partnership a first-of-its-kind Social Risk Insights program that will set new standards in SDOH intervention evaluation and implementation.It's an opportunity to empower healthcare organizations to improve patient outcomes "while simultaneously reducing costs and enabling measurable impact for the communities they serve," Steve Grieco, MedeAnalytics CEO, said in a statement Tuesday. The partners will use the company's Health Fabric platform, which combines strategic advisory services and AI, to measure SDOH impacts to deliver actionable insights. They said they would focus on providing robust financial impact assessments that could create a more complete picture of member populations and result in better resource optimization. "The healthcare system is increasingly accountable for outcomes and disease progression – 80% of which are driven by social factors," said Trenor Williams, CEO of Socially Determined, in the announcement. "By embedding our social risk intelligence into a financial impact framework validated by Mathematica and deployed through MedeAnalytics, we enable healthcare organizations to directly measure and manage the ROI of social interventions at scale.""This team of data science, healthcare delivery and policy experts will provide evidence-based recommendations to improve the well-being of our friends, family and neighbors served by health payers and providers," added Joshua Baker, managing director of Mathematica.Andrea Fox is senior editor of Healthcare IT News.Email: [email protected] IT News is a HIMSS Media publication.

Bungie is set to take the wrappers off Marathon this Saturday and reveal gameplay from its first non-Destiny project in many years (and its first new one since joining Sony in 2022). Before that though, the studio has confirmed one detail about the multi-platform extraction shooter that PC and Xbox gamers may like to hear. The game won’t force players to log in with a PlayStation account on those platforms.The Marathon team confirmed on the game’s official Discord server that "Marathon will not require a PlayStation Account for players on PC and Xbox." The developers said this in response to a user who was concerned that they might not be able to play Marathon on PC, since PSN wasn’t supported in their country.This is relevant considering the Helldivers 2 mess from last year. The PC version of that Sony-published game was going to require players to connect to a PSN account. That wasn’t enforced during the first three-ish months Helldivers 2 was available on Steam due to network issues, but it was later going to come into effect. The shift would have locked out players who had already bought the game in countries where PSN wasn’t available.Sony quickly backtracked on the PSN requirement for Helldivers 2 following a backlash but the situation tarnished the reputation of a great game. The company later dropped mandatory PSN logins for many of its single-player games on PC, though it tried to incentivize players for linking their Steam account to PSN by offering in-game goodies.Bungie hasn't said much about Marathon since announcing its revival two years ago, but the gameplay showcase this weekend will shed much more light on what the game's all about. For what it's worth, streamer DrLupo claims to have been playtesting Marathon through various iterations over the last six years, and said it's gotten better each time he's tried it.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/bungies-marathon-wont-force-xbox-and-pc-players-to-log-in-with-a-playstation-account-144127907.html?src=rss

Get a MacBook with this affordable upgrade program

Get a MacBook with this affordable upgrade program

MacworldBuying a new MacBook can be a costly affair. The cheapest model will run you around $1000, with prices quickly going up from there if you want extra storage, memory or a Pro model. Thankfully, there is now an excellent program from Upgraded that helps you spread the cost out over 36 months so that not only can you easily afford the latest Apple laptop, but you can also upgrade every 24 months to a brand-new machine without it emptying your bank account.How Upgraded makes it easy to afford a new MacBookFor a while now Apple has offered its iPhone Upgrade Program, which lets you pay for a monthly fee for a new iPhone, with the option to replace it with the latest model every 12 months. Sadly, this doesn’t extend to Macs, so Upgraded has come up with an innovative way to help those who want to buy a new MacBook but don’t want to lay down all that cash in one go.The idea of the company’s MacBook Upgrade Program is simple. Select the MacBook model you want to buy – either the MacBook Air M4 or MacBook Pro M4 – then put together your preferred configuration of color, memory, and storage. When this is done, you’ll be shown how much the monthly repayments will be across 36 months.For instance, you can pick up the baseline MacBook Air M4 with a low cost of $33.28 p/m or the MacBook Pro M4 at only $52.17 p/m. These prices also include AppleCare+, which is standard on all Upgraded plans.UpgradedIf your credit score is above 740 you’ll have no interest at all, while those with lower scores will pay a variable rate that will be shown on the payment plan breakdown. Upgraded also states that checking for financial eligibility won’t affect your credit score, so there’s no risk at all in applying.Best of all, there’s also an option to trade in the MacBook after 24 months, and replace it with a new model instead, meaning you’ll never have to stick with an older machine and miss out on the new features Apple keeps for its latest iterations of the Mac. You can repeat this offer every 24 months, so you’ll always have the latest tech at your fingertips, but without the huge bill.Those who prefer to stick with the initial MacBook can just pay out the 36 months, then the device is theirs to keep forever.Good for your pocket and the environmentThe MacBook Upgrade Program is backed by some of the tech industry’s most respected names, so you know your money is safe and you’ll be getting the devices direct from trusted sellers. All the MacBooks are supplied by GatorTec, an Apple Premier Partner, and the financing comes from Citizens Pay, which is the same bank used for Apple’s iPhone Upgrade Program.Upgraded is also backed by OpenAI President Greg Brockman as well as US tech startup accelerator Y Combinator whose previous successes include AirBnB, Reddit, Dropbox, and Twitch.The company’s commitment to the environment also means you can buy with confidence, as all MacBooks that are returned after 24-months as part of the upgrade program are refurbished and given a new lease on life, ensuring they don’t end up in a landfill contributing to the growing problem of e-waste.UpgradedGet yourself a new MacBook today with UpgradedTimes are tough at the moment, with prices already beginning to rise across the world due to trade friction and inflation. This makes it essential that consumers squeeze all they can out of every dollar. With the MacBook Upgrade Program you not only get a brand new MacBook, plus a set rate of repayments for the next 36 months, you also still have money in your pocket to pay for other essentials. This makes it the best way to invest in new technology while also protecting yourself from the uncertainty around the world. Visit Upgraded today and see how its MacBook Upgrade Program can spread the cost and lower the stress of buying a new MacBook in 2025.Visit Upgraded

Surprise, Google Workspace is adding more AI tools to Docs, Sheets, Chat and other apps
2025-04-09

Surprise, Google Workspace is adding more AI tools to Docs, Sheets, Chat and other apps

In an incredibly shocking turn of events, more generative AI features are coming to the Google Workspace suite of productivity apps by way of Gemini. Docs, Sheets, Chat, Meet and newcomer Vids are among the tools that are getting new AI capabilities that perhaps some folks will find useful.Google is taking a cue from audio overviews in NotebookLM to bring new Gemini-powered audio features to Docs. You'll soon have the option of listening to full audio versions of your documents or just the highlights in what Google calls a podcast-style overview. Those enrolled in the Workspace alpha testing program can start trying out these audio features in the coming weeks.By the end of June, alpha testers will have access to an AI writing coach of sorts. The "help me refine" feature is said to offer suggestions on bolstering an argument, ensuring consistent formatting, enhancing the structure of the text and clarifying key points.A similar feature is coming to Sheets later this year. The "help me analyze" tool will seemingly point out trends you might have overlooked, offer pointers on where to dig deeper for more insights and whip up charts to visualize the data.In Meet, you'll soon be able to ask Gemini to recap parts of a meeting you missed because you were running late, clarify certain decisions or topics, generate a recap in the format of your choice and help refine a point before you raise a virtual arm to join the conversation. This so-called "personal in-meeting advisor" will be generally available in Meet before the end of June.As for Chat, Google will soon offer the option to mention @gemini in a conversation to receive a summary that includes open questions, important decisions that were made and lays out next steps. It could be a useful way to distill everything that happened in a bustling group chat. This capability will be available through the Labs early-access program in the coming weeks.In Vids, you'll soon be able to generate what Google says are "high-quality, original" clips using the Veo 2 model (perhaps ignoring the fact that generative video AI models mash together footage that they were trained on and arguably don't create anything truly original at all). Workspace alpha can get their hands on this in the coming weeks.Elsewhere, there's another new feature called Google Workspace Flows. Google bills this as "a brand-new way to automate and orchestrate work across your apps, powered by AI." It employs Gems, customizable AI agents that can be created with Gemini, to take care of specialized tasks, such as researching, analyzing and generating content.The company says that Workspace Flows can, for instance, address a customer support ticket by analyzing the issue, researching a solution and drafting a reply that the support team can review before sending. Gems can mine your Google Drive files for context. Google's also working with third-party partners to integrate Workspace Flows into their apps and tools. Google is now rolling out Workspace Flows in the alpha program.Lastly, as of today, Google will allow Workspace users to choose where Gemini processes their data. So if you're in the European Union and don't want your data to travel to the US (or vice versa), that's now an option. Google makes it clear that this is to help comply with regulations such as the EU's GDPR.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/surprise-google-workspace-is-adding-more-ai-tools-to-docs-sheets-chat-and-other-apps-143644125.html?src=rss
