Here is the translated content:

Sony's new console is designed for PlayStation gamers seeking a high-end experience. The PlayStation 5 Pro is presented as the console equivalent of the iPhone Pro Max or the Kindle Signature, while maintaining a lower cost than a gaming PC. This console features a more powerful GPU that allows it to deliver games in 4K at 60 fps, includes an AI upscaler to enhance textures, ray tracing technology, and a large 2TB SSD to store all your games, although it lacks a disk drive.

There are valid arguments for not purchasing the PlayStation 5 Pro, as it is an upgraded console in its mid-cycle with base performance for $700. However, for those who have yet to jump into buying a PS5, it offers a solid experience without compromises.

In other news from the tech sector, it has been reported that Sega is developing a new Virtua Fighter game, and the best retro video game gifts for the 2024 holiday season. Additionally, the European Union has launched an investigation into Corning for allegedly anti-competitive practices. On another front, Canada has ordered TikTok to cease its operations in the country, citing "unspecified" risks to national security.

In the software realm, Microsoft has announced the inclusion of a new AI feature in its Notepad application that will allow users to rewrite sentences, change tone, and modify text length. Furthermore, the Paint application will also receive AI features that will enable editing and adding visual elements to photos and drawings. Meanwhile, a new Google AI prototype called Jarvis, designed to browse the web and perform everyday tasks, was briefly leaked through the Chrome Web Store.
