Forgix is the first machine tool from the Dreame sub-brand, which so far has sold robot vacuums, mowers, and the AtomForm 3D printer we covered earlier this year. MOVA says that milling should be about as easy to pick up as 3D printing has become. The company plans to launch Forgix in 2027 in parts of Europe and North America, and it hasn't announced a price yet.

The company calls it the industry's first phone with a true 0mm display border. I've been using one for a few days, and I can tell you the claim mostly holds up in person. The bezel really is gone, with one small catch Every phone you can buy today has a thin black border between the screen and the frame, even the flagships.

Lenovo thinks its new Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 AI tablet can be more than a consumption device; it can also create.
