The three sets of earbuds I reach for
The three sets of earbuds I reach for

I have been an audio reviewer for 20 years. My time as a freelance headphones panelist at Wirecutter, and the multitude of reviews I’ve written for sites like Reviewed, Digital Trends, IGN, and now The Verge, have given me the chance to listen to hundreds of earbuds. Some were truly excellent, and some were pretty […]

Logitech’s new Mobi Fold squeezes a lot of functionality into a tiny folding mouse

Logitech finally announced its new ultraportable travel mouse following leaked marketing images that spoiled the surprise last month. As the name implies, the Mobi Fold is a compact mouse that can  fold in half using a hinge that can pivot about 130 degrees. At $79.99 in graphite, off-white, lilac, and sand color options, the Mobi […]

I tried Siri AI, and so far it actually works
I tried Siri AI, and so far it actually works

Parents want one thing, and one thing only, out of AI: to add a list of soccer games or “spirit week” theme days from an email or a poorly formatted flyer onto their calendar in one shot. And I have good news for parents with iPhones – the new Siri can finally do this. After […]

Apple dials down Liquid Glass, and the Mac looks way better for it
Apple dials down Liquid Glass, and the Mac looks way better for it

MacOS 27 Golden Gate will usher in a bunch of changes to the Mac when it’s released later this year, with its biggest new features revolving around Siri AI. But for now, using the first developer beta, Siri AI is only offered through a waitlist. So what’s available to try is mostly about how the […]

The Rivian R2 is too much fun to let drive itself
The Rivian R2 is too much fun to let drive itself

Rivian may be all in on robotaxis and autonomy, but it’s still got human drivers – and EV buyers – to win over. The pricey R1S SUV and R1T pickup brought Rivian A-list media attention and cult-hit status, but the company faces a critical next step. The 2027 R2 is Rivian’s bid for mainstream success, […]

reMarkable Paper Pure review: An excellent digital slate that I love, and feel vexed by

The reMarkable Paper Pure offers the best digital canvas for note-taking that I’ve experienced lately. But this excellent slate is held back by a restrictive software experience.

Hue’s SpatialAware finally made me appreciate color-changing lights
Hue’s SpatialAware finally made me appreciate color-changing lights

I’ve been a fan of Philips Hue smart lights since the early days. It’s one of the few staples in my ever-changing smart home. However, when the Bridge Pro launched late last year, it wasn’t immediately obvious why I should upgrade. The signature feature, MotionAware – which turns your lights into motion sensors – is […]

Dell’s new XPS 14 is better in almost every way
Dell’s new XPS 14 is better in almost every way

The 2026 XPS 14 is the best premium laptop we’ve seen from Dell in a while, with incredible build quality in a thin machine and good performance thanks to Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” chips. A bonus: Dell killed its lame “Premium Plus” naming scheme. XPS is so back! I can’t believe how […]

JMGO’s N3 Ultimate projector is the new portable 4K champ
JMGO’s N3 Ultimate projector is the new portable 4K champ

Sorry Anker: JMGO now makes my favorite flagship portable projector. The N3 Ultimate is an excellent portable 4K projector that defeats moderate ambient light at severe placement angles and can rival more expensive home theater installations at night. After a few weeks of testing, I think the raw adaptability exhibited by the JMGO’s N3 Ultimate […]
