I got to spend some time with the new Google Pixel 8 Pro ahead of its launch, and the new premium flagship is impressive, though very similar to last year’s model. The back glass is matte in a first or the Pixel Pro lineup, but the phone otherwise resembles its predecessor on the outside almost […]
Google made its Pixel 8 smartphone lineup official today, including the Pixel 8 Pro. This year, the Pro gets a number of camera upgrades, both in terms of hardware and software, that puts a little more distance between it and the non-Pro version. The updates will be welcome changes for anyone looking to get the […]
For a long time, if you wanted something like the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 but didn’t want to spend quite so much money, you were pretty much out of luck. The Xencelabs Pen 24, released earlier this year, is $300 less than the Cintiq Pro 24 and includes a lot of add-ons that Wacom charges […]
Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the Meta Quest 3 VR headset on stage at Meta’s Connect event in California today, but I was lucky enough to get a chance to try it out last week in San Francisco. The Meta Quest 3 is similar to its two predecessors, and borrows a lot from the much more expensive […]
The next-generation of Meta Quest hardware is here, and Meta announced a bunch of software news alongside the Quest 3 VR headset hardware reveal. One such announcement was the debut of Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service on Meta Quest 3, which is actually a huge boon for fans of the Facebook owner’s mixed reality gear. […]
Sonos rarely misses, and its first ruggedized, weather-resistant smart speaker, the Sonos Move, was no exception.

The Basics This […]

The new Motocompacto features […]
Apple spent some time focusing on games during Tuesday’s iPhone 15 launch event, and while we got the usual mobile devs talking about the improved hardware and software capabilities, we also found out that some very recent top-tier console games are coming to the iPhone, including the Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil Village, and […]
Apple’s iPhone 15 and 15 Pro lineup debuted on Tuesday, and both feature big improvements to the camera systems they boast. Apple has been putting a lot of focus on photography for the past few iterations of its main moneymakers, likely because changes in other aspects of the devices are relatively modest year-over-year. The cameras […]
Apple’s iPhone 15 launched at the company’s fall event today, and I got to spend some time with the new smartphone. It didn’t get the flashy new titanium of the iPhone 15 Pro that Brian checked out, but it does have a new design that includes softer, more rounded edges and the introduction the dynamic […]
