PC gaming is getting crazy expensive, at least if you want the latest and greatest hardware. So why not take local hardware out of the equation? I’ve been bullish on cloud game streaming alternatives like Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now as ways to play the newest high-end games at a discount. Today, Nvidia […]

Google issued 100 announcements during its Google I/O developers conference this week, none of which involved the smart home. That apparent lack of enthusiasm for a topic close to our heart didn’t dissuade TV and smart-appliance manufacturer Hisense from announcing plans to integrate new Google Home APIs into its own ConnectLife app, so that third-party

The Motorola Razr Ultra is something special, but it’s not quite Ultra. It’s gorgeous. It’s a delight to use, and even after several generations of this revamped Razr flip format, checking bus arrival times on the outer screen still feels like getting away with something. This phone is a lot of things — but Ultra

Sitting and gaming for long periods of time requires the right kind of chair – one that provides ergonomic support, comfort, and customization and allows you to focus on what counts the most – your game. Those four things come together most in a quality gaming chair made exactly for that purpose. But not all

I suspect my dog does not like the Roborock Saros Z70. Unlike the dozens of other robot vacuums that Gus happily lets clean around him while he sleeps, the Z70 keeps stealing his treasures. Not his dog toys — although that could be a future feature — but my family’s socks that he loves to

I freakin’ love bone conduction headphones, which keep my ears open so I stay alert to traffic while I’m walking, or bears while I’m kayaking, or far more frequently, fellow shoppers when I’m stomping around the grocery store. Today Shokz’ newest, most advanced design, the OpenRun Pro 2, is $60 off at Best Buy. That

Here in sunny Mountain View, California, I am sequestered in a teeny-tiny box. Outside, there’s a long line of tech journalists, and we are all here for one thing: to try out Project Moohan and Google’s Android XR smart glasses prototypes. (The Project Mariner booth is maybe 10 feet away and remarkably empty.) While nothing

This might be the best deal I’ve seen all year on a budget laptop. Right now, Acer—by way of eBay—is selling a refurbished Aspire 15.6-inch laptop with 16GB of RAM, a touchscreen display, and an AMD Ryzen 5 processor for just $287.99. For a laptop that’s normally $500 retail, that’s a certified banger of a

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 noise-canceling headphones have arrived three years after their popular predecessors. That’s a longer gap than usual for the lineup, but don’t expect any earth-shattering changes. Whereas the 1000XM4 to 1000XM5 upgrade brought a significant design overhaul, this time Sony is mostly focusing on sound, noise cancellation, and quality-of-life hardware refinements, rather than messing

Gaming keyboard or ergonomic keyboard? You typically have to choose. But in the wise words of Old El Paso Tacos, “Por qué no los dos?” That’s the thinking behind the Asus ROG Falcata, a wireless gaming board that splits apart and connects over a USB-C bridge. Adam Patrick Murray went hands-on with it at Computex. By the way, Asus
