By the end of the year Hertz customers will be able to rent EVs from Polestar as well as Tesla.

Car rental company Hertz is significantly expanding its electric vehicle fleet. On Monday it announced a new partnership with Polestar, the Swedish performance EV startup. If all goes to plan, Hertz will buy 65,000 Polestar EVs over the next five years to be deployed in Europe, North America, and Australia.

This is not the first big EV buy from Hertz. After filing for bankruptcy during the first few months of the pandemic, it's back and well-capitalized and on a mission to electrify.

In 2021, Hertz announced that Teslas would make up more than a fifth of its US rental fleet by the end of this year, in a mix of Model 3 sedans and Model Y crossovers.

Review: Ryzen 5 5500 and 5600 can breathe new life into older AMD PCs

$159 Ryzen 5500 is a great value for a mid-range gaming PC or workstation.

Nearly a year and a half after the launch of the first Ryzen 5000 processors, the Zen 3 CPU architecture is finally coming to cheaper chips.

AMD's Ryzen 5 5500 and 5600 CPUs (which go on sale today for $159 and $199, respectively) are both six-core 12-thread processors aimed squarely at mid-range, price-conscious PCs used for gaming and photo and video editing. The new Ryzens significantly undercut the original $299 asking price of the Ryzen 5 5600X (the 5600X was, for many months, the cheapest way to get Zen 3). And the CPUs finally provide a replacement for the last-gen $199 Ryzen 5 3600.

But the new chips have stiff competition in Intel's Core i5-12400 processor ($210-ish with an integrated GPU, $180-ish without one). Intel's desktop CPUs were saddled with the aging Skylake architecture and/or the aging 14nm manufacturing process for years, but a modern architecture and the Intel 7 process make the 12400 Intel's most appealing mid-range CPU option in a long time. The Ryzen 5 5600X has also seen price cuts recently, falling down to around $230 to make more room for the $300 eight-core Ryzen 7 5700X.

After launching its first Android tablet last year, budget phone maker Realme is following up with a new model that’s smaller and cheaper, but which should offer comparable performance.

The new Realme Pad Mini is an 8.7 inch tablet with a Unisoc T616 octa-core processor and support for up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, plus optional support for 4G LTE.

The tablet goes on sale in the Philippines April 5th with prices starting at PH9,990 (about $195) for a model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

Weighing 13 ounces and featuring a 1340 x 800 pixel display, the tablet looks a lot like Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, although it’s unclear if those two devices will compete head-to-head, as Realme tends to do much of its business in India, although it also has a presence in other markets in Europe and Asia.

As a budget device, it’s probably best not to expect too much of this tablet. The cameras are underwhelming, for example, and the Realme Pad Mini has an HD display rather than full HD or higher resolution. But with stereo speakers and a compact design that should be easy to hold in one hand, it could make a good device for reading the news or social media, watching videos, or some light gaming.
