Apple is reportedly [working on an upgrade]( for its Apple TV device lineup, bringing faster performance to its already pretty snappy set-top box. Why does it matter? The new box will apparently feature a new chip to power its enhanced responsiveness, but knowing Apple we would also assume that it'll bring some additional features to the table. What's my take? According to this rumour, Apple is planning another update to the Apple TV, using faster internals. The report is rather vague, suggesting a 2024 update, so we're looking into the future here. We also wonder what the objective is. The biggest barrier to the Apple TV is not the speed, but the form factor. Apple has stuck to the set-top box, but it's questionable whether it needs to exist. Shouldn't the focus be on making it more compact and more affordable, to draw people away from Amazon and Roku and push Apple TV+ through another, smaller, device?  Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra details revealed, 16-inch OLED display and more POCKET-LINT What's happened? Rumours are pointing towards Samsung launching its Galaxy Book 3 series laptops alongside the S23 series phones on 1 February. This time around, though, the Galaxy Book family will welcome a new member - the [Galaxy Book 3 Ultra](. Why does it matter? It was all but confirmed last week, as a blog post on the Samsung Newsroom read "soon we’ll show you what Ultra can do in even more device categories". What's my take? Samsung looks like it is taking laptops more seriously and leaked spec of this Ultra model make it look like a powerhouse. We're talking an Intel Core i9, 32GB RAM and 1TB storage - along with a GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. That could mean that Samsung it setting itself up to challenge some of the gaming laptops or creator laptops - likely with the MacBook Pro in its sights. [Galaxy Unpacked]( could be bumper event - and there's only a week to go.  LG G3 OLED evo initial review: Bright and bold POCKET-LINT What's happened? LG revealed a range of OLED TVs during CES 2023, and while there were a couple that garnered more interest than others - the transparent model and the wireless M3 specifically - the flagship G3 OLED evo and the C3 OLED evo are perhaps the more exciting to us mere mortals, as we'll likely be priced out of the other options. Our quick verdict It is, of course, very hard to judge a TV based on a short demo in a hotel room, but based on what we've seen of the LG G3 OLED so far, we’re excited to get this in for review to see if it is as striking as it initially seemed.
