The premium AirPods 5 are the best open-ear earbuds Apple has made

It’s almost a guarantee that the new version of a product will be, at best, the same price as the old one, and often (especially in the past couple years) more expensive. But that’s not what Apple did with the AirPods 5. The $149 AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case are $30 cheaper than the […]

The Dell XPS 13 is the first real competitor to the MacBook Neo
The Dell XPS 13 is the first real competitor to the MacBook Neo

Dell’s last XPS 13 was meant to be a farewell before the company sunset the entire XPS brand. But it was a bitter ending, and an overpriced one as well. Earlier this year, Dell resurrected the XPS name with the excellent (and very expensive) XPS 14 and 16. And now, it’s reinvented the XPS 13 […]

The Steam Frame is made for irresponsible hardware nerds like me
The Steam Frame is made for irresponsible hardware nerds like me

For nearly three weeks, I’ve been testing the limits of Valve’s Steam Frame, the company’s new wearable PC. At first glance, it’s easy to write it off as a pricey headset that missed the VR craze. At $1,059 with 256GB of storage or $1,299 for 1TB, it costs two to three times as much as […]

Hands-on with the foldable iPhone Duo

The first foldable iPhone is finally here, and following its announcement, we got the chance to try the phone for ourselves. We’ve long been told that Apple would make a foldable iPhone once the tech was good enough – has it been worth the wait? It definitely feels like something different. The inner screen has […]

I spent an hour riding inside Tesla’s steering-wheel-free Cybercab
I spent an hour riding inside Tesla’s steering-wheel-free Cybercab

Getting out of a taxi shouldn’t be a shameful experience. Yet I find myself feeling particularly embarrassed while exiting a Tesla Cybercab as it partially blocks a narrow road outside a popular Austin swimming hole. As a cadre of annoyed, sweaty Texan parking spot hunters pile up around it, the gold-painted two-seater just sits there […]

SteelSeries’ pro-grade, wireless Xbox controller sure is expensive

SteelSeries is a household name for many gamers, but not when it comes to controllers. Instead of easing into the conversation with reasonably-priced console and PC controllers to build trust, it’s kicking down the door with the $259.99 Aeon Pro wireless controller for Xbox and PC, which is now available. What does one of the […]

Xiaomi’s wide foldable promises more power than Samsung’s

Xiaomi is the latest manufacturer to release a short, wide foldable phone, in the week Apple is expected to do the same. I got to try the 18 Fold behind closed doors at IFA last week, and while it looks and feels similar enough to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8, superior specs make it feel […]

Rolls-Royce has the Spectre, Cadillac’s Celestiq is taking bespoke to a whole new level, and Mercedes has given the EQS the full Maybach treatment. From Volkswagen Auto Group, Bentley […]
