AMD’s having a good year, and it knows it. After having fallen far behind rival Intel in the chip race, the underdog finally found some success earlier this year with a 2.1 percent growth in 2017.

Apple may be the world’s biggest tech company, but it had only the second most exciting tech event on Monday.

Earlier this month I posted a review of the Go 2, JBL’s update to its pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker. Now that it’s available, the company is discounting the original Go to $20, which isn’t a bad deal for a tiny speaker that doesn’t sound terrible.
