Can ‘eSUV’ e-bikes really go from trail to town?

Have you ever wanted an electric bike that easily transitions from the drudgery of urban asphalt to adventures in gravel and dirt? That’s what a subclass of so-called “electric SUV” (eSUV) e-bikes claims to do, with their wide, all-terrain tires and front and rear suspension, plus practical accessories like fenders and racks.

Can Apple Home’s AI camera features outsmart Amazon’s and Google’s? I put them to the test
Can Apple Home’s AI camera features outsmart Amazon’s and Google’s? I put them to the test

A few years back, I was at a beachside Easter egg hunt, watching my kids dash through sand dunes searching for sweet treats. My phone buzzed in my pocket; I ignored it. A moment later, it buzzed again. I pulled it out, glanced down, and saw a “motion detected” notification from my security camera. “Just […]

Meta ditches the camera on its newest smart glasses

Walking around Meta Connect 2026, everyone’s sporting smart glasses in all sorts of shapes, colors, and sizes. It’s a marked difference here, a tech bubble where “pervert glasses” are not a concern.

The M5 Ultra Mac Studio tears through our benchmark tests

The Mac Studio review unit that Apple sent us to test this year is, put simply, kind of outrageous. It has an M5 Ultra chip with a 36-core CPU and 80-core GPU, 256GB of RAM, and 4TB of storage and costs $12,299. This thing is not for your typical content creation workloads. It’s for AI […]

The Mac Mini is still mighty, just not as cheap
The Mac Mini is still mighty, just not as cheap

There are lots of compact desktop computers out there, but none match the Mac Mini’s small size and big power. 2024’s redesign reduced the Mini to 0.82L, a chassis so minimal you can easily mount it behind a monitor or under a desk. I’ve used gaming laptop charging bricks that are nearly as large and […]

I’m so mad that I love Orion’s $2,195 AI mattress pad

The iPhone 18 Pro’s big camera update is all about the small gains

Last week, Apple announced an iPhone unlike any it has made in the past. An iPhone that has seemingly already led several other phone manufacturers to pursue entirely different designs for their flagship products. A remarkably distinct device with the kind of “I can’t believe they did that” software touches that Apple sometimes pulls off […]
