HP unveiled new business laptops built for hybrid work. One of those is the new HP Elitebook 805 series. These machines run on AMD's Ryzen Pro 6000 processor and have a taller-than-standard 16:10 aspect ratio, making it easier to scan through documents and spreadsheets.

There are three variations for the Elitebook 805 G9 laptops: the 835, 845, and 865. The middle number refers to the screen sizes of each model. The 835 has a 13.3-inch display, the 845 has a 14-inch screen, and the 865 gets a 16-inch display. Unfortunately, the highest spec is a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, without any mentions of touch support for now.

L'Oreal Colorsonic improves the hair dyeing experience at home

If there's one creature comfort we've missed while in this pandemic, it's being able to dye or get our hair styled in a salon. Almost two years since it started, L'Oreal plans to offer a solution with a new hair dye magic wanted it introduced at CES 2022.

The L'Oreal Colorsonic is a handheld device that makes the hair colouring process more consistent and less messy. It uses recyclable cartridges of dye inserted into the handle. It then mixes and distributes the product to the oscillating nozzle. All you need to do is brush the Colorsonic over your hair like you would any comb and allow the dye to be deposited onto your hair. The nozzle moves 300 times per minute to cover the hair effectively. Those with hair that grows past their shoulders can use an included attachment.

Marvel's 'Eternals' is now on Disney+

If you have been waiting for Marvel's Eternals to make its debut on Disney's streaming service, then your wait is over. The Marvel film is now available to stream on the service with no additional cost over your monthly subscription fee. The Eternals got a theatrical-exclusive period that's almost as long as some films before the pandemic. It was in theatres for around 68 days, when the pre-pandemic norm was about 75 to 90 days. 

The difference is you'll get to stream it on Disney Plus at the same time as you can buy it online on major digital platforms. Before the online rentals, Blu-ray and DVD releases would get the first home-viewing options after a film's theatrical run. As CNET pointed out, it'll be more than twice as expensive to purchase the Eternals outside of a month's subscription to Disney Plus.
