TESSAN AERO 5000

There are tons of MagSafe battery variations, and I may own most of them. The new TESSAN AERO 5000 caught my eye because it’s really thin and has a titanium finish. It also uses a new battery technology to reduce heat and improve overall safety. After reviewing the entire spec sheet, I think this might be one of the more interesting MagSafe batteries hitting the market this year, and I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

Apple official refurb store: Save hundreds on our top picks of the week

The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store is a particularly compelling resource for landing great offers on iPhone, MacBook, Studio Display, Apple TV, and even accessories. This is not some guy in his basement shilling iPhones that fell off a truck at a discount, or some third-party selling refurbs of questionable quality, but rather, units with an official Cupertino seal of approval that have passed Apple’s “rigorous refurbishment process” and, perhaps most importantly, often times at lower prices than retail.

Musk’s Terafab chip plant will run on gas, not Tesla solar

Tesla SpaceX terafab

SpaceX confirmed it will power Terafab, its $16.8 billion chip megafactory in Texas, with its own natural gas power plants and “very large battery arrays.” Tesla solar isn’t in the plan.
