Lenovo’s X1 Carbon is one of the best laptops you can buy. At 2.5 pounds, it’s lightweight, thin, and very portable. It offers plenty of power for most tasks, all-day battery life, and—unlike its competition—plenty of ports for all of your accessories. We’re reviewed the Linux version of the X1 Carbon last year, and everything […]
Have you ever ridden a bike without a pedal? It’s not fun. It’s especially not fun on a 63-pound bike without any electric assistance. I had to angle my foot on the pedal’s crank arm, and when it inevitably slipped off mid-rotation, my leg swung wildly and kicked off the ground, as if I was […]
I have a bad habit of biting my fingernails. Because of this, I can’t get the frail rear kickstand on the Nintendo Switch to pop out. The lip of the kickstand is too thin and nestled too snugly into the body of the device. For years, I’ve exasperatedly asked my partner to use her long, […]
Smart lighting is an easy way to create some ambiance in a room and change the feel of the space. It comes in many forms nowadays, from smart bulbs and light strips to all kinds of oddly shaped lamps. The Govee Flow Pro is one such RGB accessory that’s designed to flank a TV or […]
Apple now only sells one tablet with a physical Home button, thick borders around the screen, and the Lightning port: the new ninth-generation iPad. It’s also the only one in the lineup that supports the aging first-gen Apple Pencil. You might be wondering why you’d want these dated features. Having the USB-C port on the […]
Even as suppliers struggle to keep up with demand, it’s a great time to buy a new TV. The mid-tier market is more competitive than ever. You can get a lot these days for well under $1,000, and prices keep plummeting while our eyes reap the rewards. The Vizio M-Series is among the best of […]
Photograph: Apple Both are powered by the new A15 Bionic chip, but beware! For the first time, it’s not the exact same A15 chip in the standard iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Mini. This year, Apple is adding an extra graphics core for the Pro models, which should mean a boost when gaming or running […]
The most remarkable thing about GoPro’s new Hero 10 Black might be that it exists at all. Somehow, in the midst of a chip shortage that has trucks piling up in lots and supply chains breaking down across the industry, GoPro has managed to release a new camera in which the principle upgrade is a […]
If you own an Android phone, chances are you’ve enviously longed for an equivalent to the Apple Watch. A smartwatch with a robust app store, granular fitness and health-tracking features, and a snappy and intuitive interface—apparently, it’s too much to ask! Don’t worry, all hope is not lost. It may have taken a little more […]
Pairing is near-instant with modern Android phones, and they pair the same way other non-Apple Bluetooth devices pair in iOS. That said, if you are on iOS, you won’t get the same app-based controls, as there is no app support. You can control ambient mode and ANC on the earbuds themselves (a long press toggles […]
