A few months ago, I wrote that the telephoto camera is the only lens that matters any more, at least when it comes to Ultra-class flagships. As phones got better, cameras became where manufacturers tried to stand out. As cameras got better, telephoto lenses became the next point of focus. The most recent Ultra phones […]
II know I’m not the only person who wants a MacBook Pro for Windows: a sleek, ultra powerful, super portable machine with an excellent screen and high-quality build. Samsung’s Galaxy Book6 Ultra certainly tries. It’s got a beautiful screen and a nice design, and it’s as solidly built as laptops come. It also looks, well, […]
A lightweight 16-inch OLED laptop with excellent everyday performance and design, but limited by conservative tuning that prioritises thermals and efficiency over peak power.
Was I writing with pen and paper, or a stylus on a tablet? It’s getting more difficult than ever to tell.

But I don’t love the idea of schlepping around a clunky instant camera or paying a premium for instant film with hit-or-miss […]
The Xteink X3 is a delightfully tiny, MagSafe-compatible e-ink reader that attaches to the back of your phone like a Pop Socket.
I’m deeply conflicted about the Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop. It’s the company’s best robotic floor cleaner to date, with excellent mopping performance, good navigation and obstacle detection, and a multifunction dock that takes much of the busywork off your hands. But Dyson’s first attempt at a vacuum-and-mop combo is a […]
I’m currently wearing a pair of smart glasses called the Even Realities G2. Another two pairs, from Rokid, sit on my desk. A few feet away, I’ve got the Meta Ray-Ban Display charging alongside their Neural Wristband. In my closet are six pairs of $50 smart sunnies that an overzealous Walmart rep sent me. Those […]
