[ad_1] Take the new hardware. The Surface Book 3 features Intel’s quad-core 10th generation Ice Lake CPUs, which max out at a 3.9GHz Turbo Boost speed.

Samsung Galaxy A51 review: Wait for a price drop
[ad_1] Meanwhile, the 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It captures a 123-degree field of view with minimal barrel distortion around the edges, and its colors are even poppier and more saturated than what you’d get out of the main camera. If you’re walking around and shooting photos on a clear […]
August’s WiFi Smart Lock made my old lock new again
[ad_1] Once the new hardware is in place, the August mobile app takes over for calibration. You’ll have to open and close your door several times in locked and unlocked positions to ensure that the Doorsense sensor lines up properly with the lock. You can see this all unfold in real-time on the app, which […]
Surface Earbuds and and Headphones 2 review: Comfort is king
[ad_1] Both the Surface Earbuds and Headphone 2 feature a plethora of microphones, which was particularly helpful whenever I need to jump on phone calls and Zoom chats. According to my colleagues, both sets sounded crisp and clear. That’s more than I can say for many other wireless headphones. Microsoft’s mics are also useful for […]
Gocycle’s GXi is a folding e-bike with few equals

Apple MacBook Pro review (13-inch, 2020)
[ad_1] The Magic Keyboard (redux) If you’ve perused my review of the 2020 MacBook Air or my hands-on with last year’s 16-inch MacBook Pro, you already know my thoughts on the Magic Keyboard’s design. Feel free to skim ahead if you’ve heard this all before. For those just joining us (hello!), the Magic Keyboard was […]
Sony WF-XB700 wireless earbuds review: Extra bass, extra sacrifice
[ad_1] The first thing I noticed about the WF-XB700 was its unique design. Instead of the common oval shape with a tip jutting off the bottom that goes into your ear, Sony opted for a “Tri-hold” design. The earbuds rest on your ears in three different spots, which the company says creates a more ergonomic […]
Moto G Stylus review | Engadget
[ad_1] Aside from the assembly of cameras on the back, there’s also a fingerprint reader masked by the Motorola logo. This worked as well as you’d expect. Only a few ports and buttons live on the edges of the device: the right side has the power button and volume rocker, the left side has the […]
Amazon’s ‘Upload’ explores the digital afterlife in a world gone to hell
[ad_1] This being a semi-romantic comedy, it’s only a matter of time until sparks begin to fly between Nathan and Nora. And yes, it’s all a bit odd, since he’s a digital consciousness whose real body has died. But if you think about it, that’s not too different than online relationships in general. Thanks to […]
MSI GS66 Stealth review: A 300Hz gaming laptop in a crowded field
[ad_1] Unfortunately, all of the GS66’s upgrades added a bit more heft to the machine. It’s now 4.6 pounds, instead of the previous model’s 4.1 pounds. That does take away from Stealth brand’s luster a bit, especially when you consider a machine like the Zephyrus G14 weighs just 3.5 pounds. Still, MSI is competitive — […]
