The unique and futuristic good looks were inspired by theHyundai Prophecy concept EVfrom 2020 that had aerodynamics in mind.

Read on for the full review. The Discover 1 comes safely wrapped in tons of recyclable materials and cardboard, which I appreciated. Understandably, the thought of “putting it together” might sound scary. The entire process is relatively simple. The bike comes with a set of easy-to-follow instructions and a little zipper bag for the tools. You’re not putting an entire e-bike together.

Being an Apple gadget means endless accessory options, but do you even need a MacBook case? All the ports are solid and robust, meaning the most at-risk parts are the screen and keyboard. However, each MacBook screen has a durable scratch-resistant glass panel covering the display. Apple’s Macbooks are pretty durable. Then again, that all depends on how you use yours. For those with a MacBook that never leaves their home office, you likely don’t need a case....

If you’re still using Windows 8.1 you should consider upgrading. We’re expecting similar notifications to what Microsoft used back when Windows 7 reached the end-of-life stage. Extended support means the OS is still getting security updates each month, but that’s about it. No new features, no bug fixes, and the lowest level of security maintenance to keep devices safe.
