Allow me to explain why I love this camera that can’t shoot color
Allow me to explain why I love this camera that can’t shoot color

I love black-and-white photography. I also adore compact cameras you can always have by your side. So I’m a total mark for the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome, a fixed-lens camera that can’t zoom and can’t record color – at all. It’s a formula that makes the average person ask, “Why?” I’ve tested the GR IV […]

You don’t have to spend more than $50 on a great USB-C dock for your Switch 2

Nintendo seemingly designed its latest console to be a mystery for third-party accessory makers. With the Switch 2, the company changed the wireless protocol for connecting controllers to the new system, as well as how it outputs video over USB-C, making it clear at launch that every third-party manufacturer needed to start over from scratch. […]

I tested three Windows laptops in the MacBook Neo’s price range — there’s no contest
I tested three Windows laptops in the MacBook Neo’s price range — there’s no contest

When the MacBook Neo arrived last month, I knew Windows laptop makers were in trouble. For $599, the Neo offers fantastic build quality and solid performance in a sleek and ultra-portable package.

The only USB-C AA battery I’d buy for myself is the Zepath 3600

Last September, a company named Lumafield scanned 1,000 cylindrical lithium-ion batteries to shine a light on the hidden risks of cheaping out. At roughly the same time, I found myself testing two awesome new kinds of AA battery that recharge using USB-C cables. It gave me an idea. Could we find the very best USB-C […]

I wish this selfie phone case was better for selfies
I wish this selfie phone case was better for selfies

The Selfix phone case is a classic example of a great idea in theory that falls apart in practice. It’s a case for the iPhone 17 Pro with a circular screen on the back. It mirrors the middle of your main phone screen, making it easier to frame up selfies using your phone’s higher-quality rear […]

Asus’ lightweight 16-inch laptop is a formidable MacBook Air alternative

I already put Asus’ new Zenbook A16 through the wringer when I brought a pre-production unit with me to CES. I loved it for its ample power in an impressively light 16-inch chassis. It’s speedy enough for part-time content creation, it’s got lengthy battery life, and its large OLED screen is crisp and vivid. Now, […]
