It's MacBook Neo review day, so let's talk Apple's new $599 laptop. I'm going to host another AMA for Verge subscribers today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. Like last time, it'll all take place in the comments section of this post.

What do you want to know about the MacBook Neo? I've got the "blush" pink one on hand right now, and I'm happy to answer whatever I can about Apple's new MacBook with an iPhone chip. I also have the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air and 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro review units on-hand too, so we can also nerd out about those a bit if you'd like.

To ask your questions, leave a comment on this post. There's no harm in getting your ques …

We played Pokémon Pokopia, ask us anything

2026-03-04T10:03:16-05:00

Pokémon's 30th anniversary is here and Nintendo (and The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, and Omega Force) are kicking things off with a surprisingly excellent life simulation spinoff game. Pokémon Pokopia arrives on March 5th, and it's one of the first Pokémon titles that will debut exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Equal parts Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Dragon Quest Builders, Pokopia reimagines the Pokémon world as a massive, human-free paradise that you can rebuild however you want. Pokopia easily could have been a straightforward game about making friends and crafting neighborhoods. But as our review discusses, Pokopia's a much bigg …

We played Resident Evil Requiem, ask us anything

2026-02-25T10:01:16-05:00

One of the first blockbuster games of the year is almost here - and it's a creepy one. Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27th, and it's the first all-new RE game since Village in 2021. It's also a fascinating experience, one that combines the guns-blazing action of Resident Evil 4 with the first-person terror that originated with Resident Evil 7. In a lot of ways, it's the best of both worlds, as our review explains.

And we're here to talk about it.

My colleague Jay Peters and I have been playing the game ahead of launch and will be answering questions from Verge subscribers right here. So if you're curious about how the dual char …

What up, Verge-heads! Wait. "Vergesters?" "Verge-igans?" Nope, that ain't it…

GREETINGS, DEAREST VERGE SUBSCRIBERS!

Antonio here. ðŸ‘‹ðŸ» I'm your friendly neighborhood laptop reviewer, and I'm hosting an exclusive subscriber "AMA" today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. I review laptops ranging from MacBooks and Chromebooks to weird-but-awesome tablets and a $6,000 gaming laptop. So I have a fairly wide range of experience with some of the best computers you can own: what their screens look like, how nice they are to type on, if their trackpads suck or not, and, of course, how many ugly stickers you'll be removing if you buy one yourself.

Always be testing. For eternity." data-portal-copyright="">

I wear lots of technology for a living, ask me anything

2026-01-30T09:13:24-05:00

Hello, friends.

It's time for another exclusive AMA for Verge subscribers, and this time, I'll be your host. I cover everything from wearables to dystopian cursed tech like at-home urine labs and belligerent AI companions. At times, my job calls for flirting with Grok's AI girlfriend for 24 hours or coercing weird AI video apps to generate odd French-kissing videos. Other times, I'm making personas of myself in the Vision Pro. I also do normal things, like testing the latest smart glasses, smart rings, and smartwatches. Once in a while, I get away with shitposting about the black Apple Watch Ultra 2. Oh, and I also write the Optimizer newsl …

We tried CES 2026’s best and weirdest products, ask us anything!

2026-01-13T18:34:36-05:00

The Verge CES ground crew posing for a group photo in the Linq Promenade during CES 2026.

We spent last week running to meetings, demos, and the convention floors to see as much as we could at CES 2026. And now that we've (sort of) recovered, it's time to answer any questions you still have. Did we replace Dom with his clone? Did Jen survive a robot falling on her? Is Vee tired of talking about the taint bandaid? There were so many products throughout Las Vegas last week - and so many experiences - and we want to talk all about them. At least, as much as we can.

Join part of our CES crew later today, January 13th, at 3PM ET for a subscriber-only AMA. You can start leaving questions in the comments now and we'll start answering t …

We played Metroid Prime 4, ask us anything

2025-12-04T15:13:15-05:00

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is one of those games that been a long time coming. Fans have been waiting almost a decade for the next entry in Samus' first-person adventures. Early previews painted an alarming picture of overly chatty sidekicks ruining what's traditionally a lonely and moody experience. Meanwhile formal reviews run a gamut of opinions, leaving the game in the interesting if tiresome discourse-inducing "7 / 10" range - not perfect, not awful, but possessed of a certain something that makes it uniquely more interesting than many higher scoring games.

So what exactly is that something? Does Metroid Prime 4 even have it and if it doe …

I’ve covered Black Friday deals for ten years, ask me anything

2025-12-04T15:08:54-05:00

Black Friday is the day that a handful of us at The Verge have been preparing months for, in part because it’s happening earlier and earlier. We’ve already lifted the curtain on deals — hundreds of them — including some that we couldn’t tell you about before today, and we have a one-stop shop for everything we’ve published so far. There’s a lot of prep work that goes into pulling this off every year, so instead of making Black Friday a one-way stream of information like usual, we’re hosting an AMA for subscribers.

Do you want a personalized deal pick so that you don’t have to sort through the chaos? I’ll give you some options. Or, perhaps you want to ask questions about our process, or about the deals landscape in general. Those are just some idea starters. Whatever it is you want to ask, ask away. I’ll start answering questions later today at 1PM ET.

We tried Valve’s new VR headset, PC, and controller — ask us anything!

2025-12-04T15:13:46-05:00

The Verge’s Sean Hollister on the left and Jay Peters on the right.

Hi! I'm Jay Peters, a senior reporter here at The Verge. I'm perhaps the site's second-biggest Steam Deck fan, surpassed only by Sean Hollister, our unofficial handheld gaming PC reviewer. So you can imagine how excited we were to visit Valve's headquarters to try the company's three new hardware products: the Steam Frame, a streaming-focused VR headset; the Steam Machine, a Valve-designed gaming PC for the living room; and the Steam Controller.

Those links take you to our big stories about all three pieces of gear, and I encourage you to read the articles and bask in our photos from Ripple at Everything Time Studio. But if you're a Verge s …

Let’s talk about Pluribus

2025-12-04T15:15:04-05:00

The lead-up to Pluribus has been very secretive. The basic premise - miserable woman is stuck in a world where everyone is happy - was known early on, but that was followed by cryptic trailers that didn't really reveal much else. But now we have a much better idea of what Pluribus is after the first two episodes premiered on Apple TV.

That mysterious nature is the main reason why I avoided almost all spoilers in my initial review of the show. It's the kind of story where preserving that feeling of surprise is very important. But Pluribus is also a series that begs for a deeper discussion. In fact, that's one of the goals of creator Vince Gi …
