Watch me swap the Framework Laptop 16’s GPU in under two minutes.

The Laptop 16 promises to finally fulfill the broken dream of upgradable gaming laptops. How easy can it be? See for yourself — I don’t cut away once during this video!

The bigger question: will Framework secure future GPUs to swap into this PC? It’s got a solid track record with CPUs...

Nerf is joining the modern era with the best official blaster ever made

The Nerf Pro Stryfe X: the most legit Nerf has been in years.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series is all about the bezels
Play

The Classic’s rotating bezel is back — and the display bezels are a lot thinner all around. Oh, and here comes Wear OS 4.

My 16-year-old PS3 plays The Last of Us better than a Steam Deck

I’ve been playing Sony’s troubled PC port on the gaming handheld... and my 16-year-old launch PS3.

There’s a lot to love about portable Joel and Ellie, but graphics ain’t it.

This is a quietly big year for the Apple TV and tvOS

Instead of living by the whims of everyone involved in the streaming wars, Apple is refocusing on its own software and (finally) bringing features like FaceTime to the TV.

Apple’s Vision Pro is the Retina display moment for headsets

I tried the Vision Pro, and just like the introduction of the iPhone 4 over a decade ago, there’s no going back from here.

Telly dual-screen TV first look: it’s free and may be the future

More than 250,000 people have signed up in hopes of getting Telly’s unique TV. There’s something to this concept, but plenty of unknowns remain.

AMD’s and Nvidia’s latest sub-$400 GPUs fail to push the bar on 1440p gaming

I wish 1440p GPUs were more mainstream after years of 1080p dominance.

I banished my Joy-Con drift just in time for Zelda.

You deserve more than the Nintendo Switch’s drift-prone analog sticks. Gulikit’s Hall Effect replacement sticks are the answer. Why not add an awesome transparent shell while you’re at it?” my shoulder devil whispered to me.

Itty-bitty wires make the task way harder than it sounds — but I don’t regret listening!

The Pixel Fold is Google’s $1,800 entry into folding phones

Google is finally giving Samsung some competition in the folding phone space with the Pixel Fold, a device that transforms between a standard smartphone and a small tablet by folding in half.

See-thru screen-equipped supercap SSD.

The Dockcase Explorer Edition is the coolest-looking M.2 enclosure money can buy. A little half-baked, though. If you’re a transparent gadget connoisseur, this see-through USB-C hub is also on the way.

I tried Logitech’s Project Ghost video chat booth, and work calls on my laptop just can’t compare

The chic videoconferencing experience was built in collaboration with Steelcase and provides lifelike scale, natural eye contact, and no distractions. Sure beats my work-from-home setup.

Tested: 270W of USB-C power.

The Chargeasap Zeus nearly does it all: 140W for your MBP, nearly 100W for a second PC, plus two more ports for my Steam Deck or phone (though they drag the wattage down). All that in a single GaN power brick with two-way folding prongs — the better to stay in your wall — and a built-in meter. Is it perfect? Nope! Also be sure to read our crowdfunding disclosure.

A flying 3x zoom lens is where it’s at!

I only received my review unit of the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine last night, but it didn’t stop me from catching some nice sunset clips to show you what all three lenses can capture. (Yes, “Mavic 3 Pro Cine” is a mouthful; this naming convention is getting out of hand!)

Asus ROG Ally hands-on: Windows but tiny

I had a fun time testing this device, but everything’s going to come down to price.

Nissan Ariya first drive: an EV pioneer regains its credibility

Nissan’s first fully electric vehicle since the Leaf is a great little crossover that puts safety over acceleration. It may be late to the game, but it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the market.

I used an incredible X-ray machine to look inside my gadgets — let me show you

See inside a classic Polaroid, PalmPilot, and more.
