From Apple to Samsung, last month saw a wave of laptop launches dominating the tech scene 

From laptops that claim to be smarter than you to smartphones obsessed with glowing lights, March has seen a wave of launches that push the boundaries of performance, AI integration, and, of course, pricing. Whether you're in the market for a cutting-edge MacBook Air, an AI-driven Samsung Galaxy Book, or a gaming powerhouse from MSI, here’s everything worth knowing before you part with your cash.

The MacBook Air (2025) may look familiar, but under the hood, it’s had an upgrade. Now powered by the M4 chip, Apple promises better efficiency, improved AI performance, and longer battery life, with the introduction of Apple Intelligence making everything from emails to photo editing a little more intuitive. Available in 13-inch and 15-inch Liquid Retina displays, it maintains its signature lightweight form factor but adds quad speakers with Spatial Audio, Wi-Fi 6E, MagSafe 3 charging, and a 1080p FaceTime camera—subtle but practical refinements. 

Pricing starts at Rs 99,900, scaling up to 24GB RAM and 2TB SSD for those who need extra power. The battery claims to last up to 18 hours of video playback, and while Apple doesn’t do numbers for numbers' sake, a 53.8Wh battery in the 13-inch model and a 66.5Wh battery in the 15-inch suggest solid endurance. Colour options include Midnight, Silver, Sky Blue, and Starlight.

Nothing continues to refine its glowing aesthetic with the Phone 3a (Rs 22,999) and 3a Pro (Rs 27,999), now powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display (120Hz refresh rate, 3,000 nits peak brightness) ensures ultra-smooth visuals, while the IP64-rated build offers better protection against the elements. The Pro model takes things further with a 50MP periscope telephoto camera, delivering 3x optical and 6x in-sensor zoom for sharper shots. 

The Glyph Interface remains a key selling point, now featuring 26 customisable lighting zones, letting you personalise alerts in a way no other phone does. Running on NothingOS 3.1 (Android 15), both models promise three years of OS upgrades and four years of security updates.

A fresh coat of Sky Blue isn’t the only thing new about the Oppo Reno 13 5G—it now comes with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage (Rs 43,999), a welcome upgrade for power users. It keeps the 6.59-inch AMOLED display (120Hz refresh rate, 1,200 nits peak brightness) intact, powered by the Dimensity 8350 chipset for smooth performance. The 50MP primary rear camera is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, while the 50MP selfie camera ensures ultra-detailed front-facing shots. 

Battery life is a highlight, with a 5,600mAh battery supporting 80W fast charging, meaning a 50 per cent charge in under 20 minutes. Durability also remains a focus, with IP66/IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance making it a more resilient option.
