Smart displays aren’t new, but Eufy’s take on the category is a little different. The Smart Display E10 isn’t a voice assistant with a screen. Rather, it’s a dedicated visual control panel for your Eufy-powered home security system, one that puts live video feeds, visitor alerts, and event summaries all in one place. Unlike an Echo Show or Nest Hub, it does it all without leaning on the cloud, serving up ads, or connecting to a server somewhere.
Design and features
The Eufy Smart Display E10 looks more like a small tablet than a security device. Its 8-inch, high-definition (1280 x 800 pixels) touchscreen is framed by slim bezels and a matte white housing that blends easily into most rooms. There’s nothing flashy here—no light rings (apart from a low-battery warning), no oversized branding. It’s designed to fade into the background until you need it. (Note: I’ll repeatedly write “Smart Display E10” for clarity, because Eufy markets disparate products using the model number E10, including a breast pump for nursing mothers.)
The Eufy Smart Display E10 will automatically switch to the Live Streaming screen whenever motion is detected, based on the trigger types you’ve set in the Eufy app.
Above the display are dual microphones, an ambient light sensor, a low-battery indicator, and a time-of-flight sensor (basically, a proximity detector that wakes the display when someone approaches it). On the top, you’ll find physical buttons for power, volume, and an “action button” that’s essentially a manual alarm trigger for compatible Eufy devices. A speaker and a set of charging pins—for use with the included dock—sit on the bottom edge. A microSD card slot (supporting cards with capacities up to 512GB) and a USB-C port for direct charging are set into the side. There’s also a folding stand and wall-mount slots built into the rear.

You can place the Smart Display E10 wherever it makes the most sense—on a shelf, a nightstand, or mounted to the wall—using the included dock or mounting hardware. The 4,050 mAh battery gives you more than 24 hours of use on a single charge, so it’s easy to move the display from room to room without plugging in. When it’s time to recharge, you can drop it onto the magnetic dock or plug it in directly using the USB-C port.
The Smart Display E10 is meant purely for viewing and interacting with your existing Eufy home security gear, including arming and disarming your Eufy home security system. You can view up to four camera feeds at once on the screen, which is handy if you want to keep an eye on multiple entry points or monitor different areas of your property without switching between views. If you have a compatible Eufy video doorbell or smart lock, the Smart Display E10 will announce who’s at the door by name when the bell is pressed. And if you pair the Smart Display E10 with Eufy’s Homebase 3 network-attached storage device (that’s Eufy model S380), you unlock the Smart Daily Event Summary, which compiles a quick video recap of the day’s activity. You get one in the morning and one at night, which saves you from scrubbing through endless alerts.
Setup and performance
Getting the Smart Display E10 up and running is straightforward. Assuming you already have one or more Eufy devices on your network, you just power on the display, connect it to your Wi-Fi network (both 2.4- and 5GHz networks are supported), and log in to your Eufy account. From there, the setup wizard guides you through the rest of the process. Compatible cameras and other devices automatically appear on the display’s dashboard.
The display can be mounted to a wall or slotted into its charging dock.

The Smart Display E10’s lock screen gives you a quick snapshot of activity around your home. The time and date are displayed in the top left corner, with network and battery icons in the top right. Beneath that is a “Guarding Today” panel showing counts for common events—such as package pickups, deliveries, or missed rings—along with the last time a pet was seen, if applicable. Notifications appear front and center as they come in; motion alerts, like someone spotted in the living room, are timestamped and stacked in a clear list. A small thumbnail of the associated device appears next to each notification, so you can immediately tell where the activity occurred.
The main screen presents three horizontally scrollable tiles. The first is a live-view panel that can display up to four live camera feeds at once, letting you monitor multiple areas of your home in real time. The thumbnail image for each updates in regularly to give you an at-a-glance view of recent activity, and tapping on any one opens a full-screen view of that camera’s live feed.
The second tile is labeled Recent Events and shows motion-triggered recordings as they occur. Until activity is detected, it simply displays a “No Detections Yet” message. The third tile displays icons for each connected camera and provides quick access to that device’s settings. The interface is clean and swipeable, making it easy to flip between live monitoring, recorded events, and individual camera settings like privacy modes or night vision without digging through menus.
You can access the Smart Display E10’s settings through the small gear icon in the top right corner of the main screen. From here, you can adjust screen brightness, notification preferences, audio volume, and other device-level controls. One setting worth noting is Auto Live View. When enabled, the Smart Display E10 will automatically switch to the Live Streaming screen whenever motion is detected, based on the trigger types you’ve set in the Eufy app.
You can plug the display into its dock for continuous power.
Michael Ansaldo/Foundry
Day to day, it’s a genuinely helpful tool. If a camera spots movement or someone comes to the door, the Smart Display E10 can put that camera’s feed on screen automatically. You don’t need to fish out your smartphone or launch an app. It’s especially helpful in households with small children, or older adults who might not be as comfortable with tech. They can see who’s outside without pressing a thing. It also makes sense in a small business setting; say, at a front desk or office with deliveries coming and going.
That said, the Smart Display E10 is a closed system. It doesn’t work with Alexa, Google Assistant, or any third-party smart home gear. And if you want features like facial recognition or daily event summaries, you’ll need to pair it with the Eufy Homebase 3). Without it, you’re getting basic video and alerts, nothing more.
Should you buy the Eufy Smart Display E10?
At $199, the Eufy Smart Display E10 is priced in line with other smart displays, including the newish Amazon Echo Hub and the aging Google Nest Hub Max, but that comparison only goes so far. This isn’t a device for checking the weather, streaming music, or video-chatting with Grandma. It’s a dedicated home security monitor, built for one job and it does it well. If you’re using a mix of brands, or rely heavily on voice assistants like Alexa or Google, the Smart Display E10 won’t slot easily into your setup.
If you already own Eufy cameras, doorbells, smart locks, or motion and door/window sensors—or plan to go all-in with that home security brand—the Eufy Smart Display E10 makes a lot of sense. It centralizes everything, works fast, and makes it easier for everyone in the house to stay on top of what’s happening around your space. Families with kids or elderly relatives, or anyone running a small business with frequent foot traffic, will appreciate having that live view always within reach.

|  | | PC World - 6 Aug (PC World)What if your laptop always had a 5G internet connection wherever you were, just like your smartphone? You’d never have to connect to a Wi-Fi network again or fumble with your phone’s hotspot feature.
Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop 5G is the latest laptop with cellular connectivity. A 5G laptop can be as awesome as it sounds, but there are some catches. They aren’t right for everyone. And even if you’re willing to shell out the cash for one, I may have a better suggestion for you.
Here are several things you need to know about 5G laptops before you buy one and what your other options are.
5G on Windows just works
Modern versions of Windows—both Windows 11 and Windows 10—have built-in support for mobile 5G data networks.
You don’t need any clunky manufacturer-provided apps or dongles. You don’t even have to insert a physical SIM card because Windows has native support for eSIMs. (For example, with Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 5G, you can insert a nano SIM card but you can also use an eSIM.)
A 5G connection on a modern Windows laptop just works… assuming you have a laptop with the right hardware, and you’re somewhere with a solid 5G signal, and you’re willing to spend extra for a cell phone plan. That’s where the trade-offs start to appear.
Want a 5G laptop? Your options are slim
Most laptops still don’t include 5G hardware, and some laptop classes never include 5G hardware at all. Want a gaming laptop, or even just a workstation with a strong GPU? Don’t expect 5G. That isn’t the type of machine that gets a 5G configuration.
Microsoft
Indeed, 5G connectivity is generally found on business laptops from brands like Lenovo, Samsung, Dell, HP, and Microsoft. 5G is generally intended for workers on the go rather than consumers, although anyone can buy a 5G laptop and hook it up to a cellular plan. But 5G isn’t a standard feature even on business laptops!
Take the Surface Laptop 5G, for example. Microsoft says 5G will only be available on “different SKUs [models] of the Surface Laptop for Business” and only on the 13.8-inch model. Want a 15-inch Surface Laptop with 5G? Not an option. 5G is a high-end feature you pay extra for, and it limits your hardware choices. You can’t get it on whatever laptop you want.
5G laptops are much more expensive
A laptop with 5G hardware costs extra and Microsoft’s latest Surface Laptop 5G is the perfect example of this. The 13.8-inch Surface Laptop for Business starts at $1,499 while the 5G variant starts at $1,799. That’s an extra $300 just for the 5G hardware.
For Lenovo’s high-end ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 business laptop, you can add 5G hardware to the laptop when configuring it on Lenovo’s online store… and that upgrade will cost you $200 extra.
These are high-end models and they don’t often go on sale. You’re almost certainly going to spend a few hundred bucks on top of a laptop’s normal retail price for 5G capabilities.
You’ll need an extra cellular data plan, too
You’ll have to pay for an extra cellular data plan for your 5G laptop. That’s an extra recurring cost on top of the high shelf price of the laptop, and the plan probably isn’t going to be cheap.
AT&T
For example, AT&T offers a DataConnect plan for laptops, which is 50GB of data for $55/month or 100GB of data for $90/month. If you run out of data in a month, you’ll pay an additional $10 per 5GB.
Verizon
Verizon will let you add a laptop data plan for $10 or $15 extra per month, which sounds like a good deal… but you need to be paying for an Unlimited smartphone plan through Verizon already.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile sells laptop data plans for $25 or $40 per line per month, but only to businesses. You may be able to use a T-Mobile tablet data plan with a laptop, but this isn’t officially allowed and T-Mobile could block it.
With those data caps, the dream of never connecting to Wi-Fi again may not be possible yet. But even if you had unlimited high-speed 5G data on your laptop, a solid Wi-Fi network usually offers a more stable connection anyway. And you almost certainly won’t have unlimited high-speed 5G on your laptop—it’s likely to be deprioritized after a certain point, even if the carrier doesn’t charge extra for using more data.
Your phone’s hotspot might be better
Your smartphone has a built-in mobile hotspot feature, which basically lets your laptop piggyback off its own 5G data connection. Unless you have a budget cell phone plan that blocks hotspot data, this should work out pretty well—it’s what most people do these days.
Chris Hoffman / Foundry
This can be clunky, of course, since you have to activate the hotspot every time you want to use it… but it doesn’t have to be! If you use a Samsung Galaxy phone, or any other phone that includes Microsoft’s more powerful Link to Windows (pre-installed) software, you can use the convenient “instant hotspot” feature that makes it much easier to activate your phone’s hotspot with just a few clicks from your PC.
Note that hotspot mode can drain your smartphone’s battery fast. But if you charge your phone while tethered, it’s a pretty nifty and convenient experience. Is it as seamless as if your laptop had built-in 5G? No, but using your phone’s hotspot is significantly cheaper.
A dedicated 5G hotspot device can be the best of both worlds
A dedicated 5G hotspot device—like a Netgear Nighthawk M6—may be a better solution if you need constant internet connection for your laptop everywhere you go and you’re often beyond the reach of Wi-Fi.
Wes Davis / Foundry
A standalone hotspot connects to the cellular network, creates a local Wi-Fi network, then lets you connect your devices to it—laptop, tablet, phone, and anything else. These portable hotspots generally have more powerful antennas than the ones in a laptop or smartphone, so you get a stronger signal. They don’t drain your battery as fast, either.
Of course, a dedicated 5G hotspot would be another device you have to lug around and keep charged. You’ll also need a 5G plan for the hotspot, but at least you can share its data with multiple devices.

Dedicated 5G hotspots are generally marketed to consumers while laptop plans aren’t. They’re a better deal because you can connect multiple devices, and you don’t have to hunt down rare business-only 5G devices. You can use them with any device you want.
5G doesn’t guarantee always-on internet
5G feels like magic when it works… but it doesn’t always work in the real world. When you pull over on a road trip and open your laptop where there aren’t any Wi-Fi hotspots, you may not get a 5G signal either. And even if your laptop does get a signal, it’s still just 5G.
We know from our phones that 5G isn’t perfect, and those much-hyped 5G speeds aren’t guaranteed everywhere. 5G may not be perfect indoors, either! If you hope to use 5G instead of Wi-Fi, you may find yourself connecting to Wi-Fi anyway if you’re somewhere where the cellular signal can’t properly penetrate the building’s walls.
It’s easy to tolerate issues like these in a pinch if you’re tethering with your smartphone’s data—it is what it is, and you can move somewhere else for a better signal. But if you spent a bunch of cash on a 5G laptop and you’re shelling out for an extra data plan every month, you may start wondering why you bought a 5G laptop in the first place. After all, your phone’s hotspot works just as well in most situations!
So, should you buy a 5G laptop?
Most people should not buy a 5G laptop. Your smartphone’s data connection works pretty well, and there’s a good chance you already have hotspot data bundled with your phone plan. If you want more than that, a dedicated hotspot is the ideal solution that gives you a lot more flexibility. That’s the upgrade I’d recommend for most people.
If you spend a lot of time on the road and you want a cellular connection to “just work” without any extra setup, a 5G laptop can work. But you’ll be spending extra for less flexibility. In most cases, phone tethering or a dedicated hotspot are better options overall.
That said, I look forward to a future where every laptop has 5G cellular data (or better) and the cellular networks are robust enough to support them! We just aren’t there yet… and it might be a while.

|  | | PC World - 6 Aug (PC World)E-commerce giant Amazon is now expanding its automotive business to include used cars, reports The Verge. Dealers can post their inventory directly on the platform, where customers can easily browse current deals.
This venture will start with Hyundai dealers, as Amazon already has a partnership with the South Korean automaker. They’re backing it up with solid customer protections like a three-day or 300-mile return window and at least a 30-day, 1,000-mile limited warranty on every car. After that, Amazon plans to add more car brands to the mix.
They’re starting in Los Angeles first, but the plan is to bring the service to more cities soon. This is just the latest way Amazon is trying to make buying car easier and it can’t get much easier than buying one straight from your phone or computer.
By adding used cars to its platform, Amazon is jumping into a growing market and going up against other online car sellers. With so many customers already shopping on Amazon, they’ve got a pretty good shot at changing how people buy cars online. Read...Newslink ©2025 to PC World |  |
