This Apple Watch-beating Black Friday Garmin Epix (Gen 2) deal is the best smartwatch deal I've seen all year

I’ve been reviewing Garmin watches for years, and I know a good deal when I see one - so trust me when I say this is the best of the Black Friday Garmin deals I’ve seen so far. And if you’re in the market for one of the best Garmin watches (or even one of the best running watches period, for that matter) you’d be mad to pass this up. 

Right now, the Garmin Epix (Gen 2) which usually retails for $799.99, has had its priced slashed by 44% to just $449.00. That’s the same price range as a mid-range watch like the Garmin Venu 3 or Garmin Forerunner 265 – both great value prospects on their own, but the Garmin Epix (Gen 2) blows them right out of the water. At this price, it’s even better value than the Apple Watch Ultra.

The Garmin Epix is essentially the Garmin Fenix 7, which offers best-in-class GPS navigation and fitness tools, and adds an AMOLED screen over the top. This way, you get a lovely smartwatch screen which also happens to display extremely detailed topographical maps. Check out the deal below: 

Get the Garmin Epix deal here:

Garmin Epix (Gen 2): was $899.99 now $449 at Amazon
 Garmin Epix watches are the same as a Garmin Fenix watch, with AMOLED screens instead of memory-in-pixel. The same outrageously good GPS tracking, battery life and wilderness stuff, now with AMOLED topographical maps and notifications. Other colors are slightly more expensive, but heavily discounted to $599 nonetheless.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Quantum computers are fast becoming cheaper and smaller — and they could be coming to a data center near you very soon

IonQ claims we’re closer to widespread enterprise quantum computing deployment as it lifted the lid on two rack-mounted models that can be deployed on-premises.   The startup has built the fourth-generation #AQ35 IonQ Forte Enterprise and fifth-generation #AQ64 IonQ Tempo, both of which are designed to be deployed in enterprise and government data centers. It’s also said it is deploying two quantum computers to the US Air Force.  While revealing these two models, IonQ co-founder and CTO Jungsang Kim said quantum computers are already in use by enterprises to churn through machine learning workloads. This, he added, suggests we’re much closer to readily available and affordable machines. Priming enterprises for a quantum future “We believe in the enterprise-grade quantum computing, which is where it can be something of value for enterprises, can happen in the next few years as we build powerful enough quantum computers that can actually do things that classical computers w...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
