Meanwhile Tesla stocks surge after Elon’s big apology but is that real reason for the bounce back? Google is reportedly heading back to China – the world is not very happy about that.

We review our favourite things including movies and apps and discuss how we went in our predictions at the start of the year. Spoiler alert: we sucked!

77: Surface Studio vs MacBook Pro

Episode 77: “The Virtual Escape”

Apple is cool and Microsoft is for nerds, right? This axiom has been around for the last 15-20 years but could this finally be shifting? In the last week, Microsoft showed off their new Surface Studio, a all-in-one self-contained PC designed for creative types, and the Surface Dial that you can stick onto the screen and is just about the most innovative thing to come out in 2016.

While Apple finally announced their latest line in MacBook Pro laptops after 4 years of not doing nada with them. They have removed a few things (like the ‘Escape Key’ and ‘HDMI port’) but have added a ‘Touch Bar’ on top of the keyboard that will dynamically adapt to the program or app you’re running on the screen.

Who won? Who made us cry? Where are the 2 tech giants headed in the near to mid-term future? Find out on the latest episode of The Lazy Couch Podcast.

It’s happening people!

As we wait for the Apple announcements next week, Fitbit has come out to launch their own upgraded products and they sure do look sexy. We also discuss what the future of Nexus phones may or may not be. Hmmm makes you think.

While Batfleck has been playing silly buggers by spreading rumours about a certain villain in the DC Extended Universe. This and so much more on episode 72 of The Lazy Couch.
