Mon, 10 Jul 2023 15:00:20 GMT en-US hourly 60 There recently was a new surge of great new Chromebox models from some of the same OEMs who make the best Chromebooks. One of those is the Lenovo ThinkCentre M60q which was announced at the end of 2022. This Chromebox is a really great one to consider if you want to bring ChromeOS to the big screen at home or at work, or for things like powering kiosks. It's durable with a ThinkPad-like look and is very compact. It even features the power of modern 12th-generation Intel CPUs under the hood.

Though a lot of these options can give your phone a bit of extra juice, not many of them can sustain a laptop. Even portable chargers that have a USB-C port compatible with a laptop probably don't have the wattage requirements to power them. That's where the UGreen 145W Power Bank comes in. Packing a massive 25,000mAh capacity, it can charge just about anything you need, including the best phones and laptops.

One of the most popular of these accessories was the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro gaming headset. Released in 2020, it's super lightweight and super sleek, and a favorite of many professional gamers. In today's days, though, that headset was starting to show its age when compared to the competition. Micro USB-C connectivity, for example, was just one thing that made it look so dated. It didn't even have Bluetooth connectivity.

After all, an iPad is a wide canvas that you can easily rely on for drawings or handwritten content. However, picking the right stylus can be challenging, especially now that there are all sorts of different models, with each offering a unique set of capabilities and price tag.

It has a few differences from the Steam Deck that make it an exciting prospect for those who want a more powerful alternative, with a Ryzen Z1 processor, a 120Hz IPS 1080p display, and native Windows support.

While the phone's stainless steel construction gives it a premium and sturdy in-hand feel, most consumers will likely want to protect their $1,800 investment by going with a case. Last month we compiled a list of best cases for Pixel Fold, including usual players like Spigen and DBrand. All of those cases offer great protection, but almost all are solid colored, and many have a masculine, rugged armor look. In fact, this seems to be the trend for foldable phone cases. A look at our best cases for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 also shows mostly black Kevlar cases that look like they were made for Bruce Wayne.

The 13th-generation Intel processors are fast and efficient in delivering great battery life, and the screen is decent, if not overly impressive. It also has a nice design, with an aluminum top shell that makes it feel more premium than it actually is.

]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2023 13:01:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-ideapad-flex-5i-review/ Alienware is one of the biggest brands when it comes to gaming laptops (and desktops), and for good reason. The brand, owned by Dell, has built up quite a reputation for delivering powerful performance and featuring an instantly recognizable design language. Although, Alienware laptops, like many gaming laptops, are known for being unwieldy. The Alienware X series in 2023 is meant to take things even further by packing powerful performance into a more compact chassis.

So is NZXT, which is why the company is launching (or re-launching, if you've been following its audio developments) the Relay hardware ecosystem. It consists of a 2.0 speaker system, subwoofer, headset, and mixer with headset stand that you can use to use them all together. Each of these can be purchased individually to create a truly custom audio experience that caters to your specific requirements.

It's built for home and office work, accommodating the hybrid lifestyle that many have fallen into in the past few years. The E45c goes beyond the ultrawide norm, offering a 32:9 aspect ratio and a dual QHD (DQHD) resolution that works out to a crisp 5120 x 1440 pixel count.

]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 13:00:17 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/hp-e45c-g5-review/ The best gaming laptops available today have the very latest and greatest AMD and Intel processors, as well as capable graphics processing from Nvidia. We're adding the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 (G733P) to this list after in-depth testing to see just how powerful this combination of internal components truly is. Inside this sleek gaming machine is an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX processor with a whopping 16 physical cores and 32 threads, capable of boosting all the way up to 5.4 GHz, at least on paper.

]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 15:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-rog-strix-scar-g733p-review/ In order to get the most out of the latest AMD and Intel processors, it's important to give careful consideration to system memory. The best DDR5 RAM is recommended for Intel chips and is a requirement for AMD ones. G.Skill makes kits for both platforms, supporting Intel XMP and AMD Expo. These are essentially manufacturer-configured overclock profiles to boost the speeds of the memory modules and improve overall system performance.

]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/gskill-trident-z5-rgb-ddr5-7200-review/ The title for best wireless headphones has mostly been fought between Sony and Bose in recent years, with Bose's QuietComfort series holding the crown in the late 2010s, then Sony snatching it with the universally acclaimed WH-1000XM4 in 2020. Sony did not sit idly by for its follow-up, the WH-1000XM5, which got a complete redesign that gives the headphones more of a premium, Apple-like aesthetic. However, the design compromises on practicality, and there was even a controversial decision to tone down bass output.

Against a Microsoft Surface, a Lenovo ThinkPad, an HP EliteBook, or any one of the best business laptops, Dell's Latitude 9440 is something special. Sure, ThinkPads might be rated as some of the best for their durability and versatility, but they're just straight-up boring. The Dell Latitude 9440 brings a fresh new take on a flagship and premium business laptop.

]]> Sat, 01 Jul 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/dell-latitude-9440-review/ Purchasing a wall charger has become more of a necessity these past few years thanks to many of the best phones not coming with one included in the box. Then you have to factor in how devices can charge at different wattages. So buying other chargers is always a good idea. While there are a lot of great fast chargers on the market, none look as cool as the Shargeek Retro 67W GaN Charger.

]]> Fri, 30 Jun 2023 13:00:04 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/shargeek-retro-67w-gan-charger-review/ Small phones are hard to come by nowadays, with the best options for consumers basically being the regular Samsung Galaxy S23 or one of the smaller iPhone 14 devices. However, the Zenfone 8 started a trend of Asus prioritizing small phones, so last year's Zenfone 9 stayed smaller than both Samsung's and Apple's offerings. Despite rumors to the contrary, the Asus Zenfone 10 retains that smaller 5.9-inch form factor. You won't get any flashy or new features, but you'll get a standard smartphone with a nice design, decent camera, and excellent performance that won't take up a lot of space in your pocket.

I love laptop gaming, but I have always been enticed by Legion desktops for a few reasons. Like other pre-built rigs, they offer plenty of value and some features that you see on more premium custom-made systems, all without the need to build it yourself. You get ARGB lighting effects, the latest RTX graphics, plenty of Intel or AMD CPU power, and some small levels of customization should you want to upgrade your system later on.

]]> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 13:00:24 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-legion-tower-5i-gen-8-review/ The Huawei Mate X3 is a hard phone to review. On one hand, it has the most impressive foldable hardware I've ever seen— and I've tested every single foldable phone ever commercially released. Speaking purely of hardware, it makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 look a generation behind. But the Mate X3 is also missing easy access to services used by billions of people on Earth, and it's priced on the highest end of the mobile phone spectrum. Due to the latter two factors, the Mate X3 has no chance of being anything other than a niche enthusiast phone in regions outside its native China.

]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2023 15:03:11 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-mate-x3-review/ Keychron has been in the business of making more affordable mechanical keyboards for years now, but the company has ventured into the premium segment of the market, offering barebone kits that allow for customization through keycaps, switches, and other components. Today, we're going to look at the Keychron Q3 Pro SE, one of the most recent additions to the Keychron family of premium, high-end excellent mechanical keyboards.

]]> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/keychron-q3-pro-se-review/ The Google Pixel Fold, perhaps the most anticipated piece of hardware from Google in a long time, is finally here. While the recently released Pixel Tablet has been another device that's garnered a fair bit of excitement, it's this foldable that's gotten tech fans in a frenzy. Sure, folding a functioning display in half is really cool, but it's also the first in this growing category from Google, with the hope it would bring fan-favorite software, a different shape, and Pixel's photography prowess into the space.

]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2023 17:01:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-fold-review/ We all use a wallet of some kind, but what constitutes a wallet has evolved a lot over the years. I remember at one point carrying one that held not only my cash and cards but also a checkbook. Nowadays, some people don't carry a physical wallet at all, and instead, opt to use a digital option like Google Wallet or Apple Pay. For those times you need to have physical cards with you or just prefer them, there are plenty of slim options out there, including some wallet cases for your phone. But the new ESR Geo Wallet Stand is so much more than that.

]]> Sun, 25 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/esr-geo-wallet-stand-review/ Let's face it, buying a new 4K gaming monitor can be expensive, and sometimes, you end up with a monitor that doesn't quite fit your setup. Paired with a great gaming laptop or a PC with a great graphics card, some of these monitors just end up looking like they're for gaming only or for work only. And another set of those monitors can push past a $400 price tag. Well, the new Lenovo L32p-30 isn't like that at all. This gaming monitor from Lenovo is affordable, looks modern, and can be used for any task.

]]> Sat, 24 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-l32p-30-monitor-review/ The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, now in its eighth generation for 2023, can be viewed as the convertible counterpart to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. It's one of the most premium laptops that Lenovo has to offer, with an eye-watering starter price that doesn't get any more reasonable as you add performance and features.

]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2023 14:31:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-yoga-gen-8-review/ After inexplicably making last year's Razr a China-exclusive device, Motorola is bringing the Razr line back to the U.S. and other international markets. And there's good news: The Razr+ (2023) is a polished and eye-catching clamshell foldable that makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 look outdated. Of course, the Flip 4 is almost a year old, so it's not the most direct comparison, but the Razr+ is the biggest challenge yet to Samsung's dominant grip on the foldable market in the U.S., all thanks to its much larger cover screen. If you've ever been unsure about this kind of phone, the Razr+ is a great place to start.

It's been creating cases that look good and provide solid protection, with a slim, sleek form factor, but each case also features an inset square that is used to offer compatibility with other Peak Design accessories, like charging stands, mounts, and wallets. The company's Everyday Case for the Google Pixel 7a is no different.

]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2023 13:36:38 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/peak-design-everyday-case-pixel-7a-review/ Cherry is undoubtedly the most famous maker of mechanical keyboard switches, but I had never heard of the company's own-branded keyboards until the recent launch of the KW X ULP. While I mostly associate Cherry switches with gaming, this is a keyboard for business and everyday use, and it actually looks super sleek.

]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/cherry-kw-x-ulp-review/ Apple products are quite successful in all their respective product categories, but the most dominant Apple product is probably the iPad. Ever since its introduction in 2010, the iPad has led the global tablet market share, sometimes accounting for half of all tablets sold worldwide. Android tablets never could catch up in sales or mainstream recognition despite attempts by just about every major Android phone manufacturer. Google too tried its hand at the tablet very early in the game with a series of Nexus tablets, but they were budget offerings that lacked polish.

]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2023 07:01:21 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-tablet-review/ In 2019, Microsoft introduced the Surface Pro X, the first ever Surface Pro not to include an Intel processor. Living side-by-side with the Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro 7+, and finally the Surface Pro 8, the Redmond firm decided this year that Windows on Arm is mature enough to merge the two brands. The Surface Pro 9 with 5G is the first product from the mainstream Surface Pro lineup to include an Arm processor.

Part of my job is to search for the best cases for popular handsets, be it an Android phone or the latest iPhone, and there are just too many factors to consider. Not all cases guarantee the best fit and finish or damage control, and too many sacrifice style for protection. So if, like me, you prioritize those two aspects of a case over other specialty features, then I can't recommend Dbrand's Grip case enough.

Today, we're looking at the new NZXT C1200 Gold, a 1,200W 80 Plus Gold-certified power supply with full support for ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0. The latest graphics cards can be connected to this PSU with ease thanks to the included 600W 12VHPWR connector. While not every GPU on the market will be able to make use of this powerful connector, it's good to have it available for potential system upgrades.

]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 15:31:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/nzxt-c1200-gold-review/ There's been some snark in the tech community lately about Apple products using the "Pro" naming convention a little too liberally. For example, the differences between the MacBook Air and Pro mostly come down to a fan that rarely gets used. That's why it's ironic that out of all the Apple products, the Mac Studio is the one that does not get the Pro branding. This machine, particularly the M2 Ultra version I'm testing, is for real creative pros, like producers at NBC who have been using a 2022 Mac Studio to create Saturday Night Live intros every week for the past year, or Los Angeles-based Air Studio, which uses the same computer to mix Hollywood movie soundtracks.

The first big Windows 11 update was version 22H2, which came around last year, and since then, we've been getting smaller Moment updates that add new features and capabilities. The latest of those is the Moment 3 update, which was released in June 2023. But we're already looking at what the future holds, because the next big update, Windows 11 version 23H2, isn't too far off.

I have reviewed many of the best smartphones for kids and smartwatches for kids, so although I've never used the Bark App myself, I was interested in checking the new phone out with my two young kids.

]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/bark-phone-review/ OnePlus' new entry-level phone, the Nord N30, brings mostly the same experience as last year's Nord N20, which we thought was a good-looking, serviceable phone with some odd choices. This is all true with this year's device. The phone looks great (unfortunately, it looks better than it feels), and there's not much to complain about with display, processor, and general UI performance at this price point. But the cameras are seriously underwhelming.

]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2023 14:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-nord-n30-review/ As smartphone manufacturers continue to push the limits of pricing, Motorola has gone in the opposite direction. There is a market for affordable smartphones, and Motorola has carved out a niche in this area. With the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023), the company is aiming to create a midrange smartphone with a built-in stylus. Not many midrange smartphones offer this functionality — or smartphones in general for that matter — so this feature alone makes it in the running to be one of the best budget smartphones this year.

]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/moto-g-stylus-5g-2023-review/ Choosing the very best gaming mouse involves picking through a plethora of options. Almost every brand involved in the PC industry has a gaming mouse or two available. It can be difficult to single out one as the undisputed champion of gaming mice as many share the same components and it's difficult to make a terrible gaming mouse once you're in the $100 to $200 price range. Razer itself makes countless pointers across a range of price points, targeting different types of gamers.

Now Amazon is jumping into the fray with its most ambitious tablet yet.

]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2023 13:00:20 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire-max-11-review/ NZXT has no shortage of PC cases, and among the latest to get a refresh is the NZXT H7 Flow RGB. It's essentially the same as the NZXT H5 Flow RGB I only just reviewed, but comes without the GPU-focused fan and more internal space. At the heart of the chassis is the usual NZXT H series affair with a stunning aesthetic, excellent cable management behind the motherboard tray, solid support for the latest graphics cards, AIO liquid coolers, and plenty of options for storage.

]]> Tue, 13 Jun 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/nzxt-h7-rgb-flow-review/ Laptop cases present an interesting tradeoff. Even the best laptop cases add some protection to your computer but come with unnecessary bulk. Theoretically, if you're careful, you shouldn't need a case for your laptop if you use the device at a table or desk often. But accidents do happen, and laptops — especially MacBooks — can be costly to repair. Casetify has tried to add protection to your MacBook while providing customization options that are more visually appealing with the MacBook Impact Case.

In most cases, I’ll walk away from the review saying the product is good for a certain niche, but I’m looking forward to getting back to a real laptop. The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a different story though, because this thing is shockingly good.

I love the matte black design that stands out with its green underflow and touchscreen. The Alien looks good enough to leave front and center and with night mode shutting off the lighting at night, it’s not bothersome when watching TV in the dark.

While you can do a quick search on Amazon or any other retailer, and you'll likely find a sizable list of watches that claim to be for children. Some will be more of a toy, and others will offer connectivity, but you need to be wary of the latter since they can be quite unsafe. However, there are plenty of excellent smartwatches for kids, and the latest Gizmo Watch 3 from Verizon is one of them.

The X1 Carbon is now in its 11th generation, and Lenovo has truly refined the look, feel, and performance of this device. This is the laptop I always recommend first to busy professionals, with a caveat concerning the high price.

The move aims to distinguish between the latest iPhones and iPads by offering the latter product category a unique, independent identity. Since then, iPadOS has gained a few exclusive features that bring the tablet closer to becoming a PC replacement, such as Stage Manager. Does iPadOS 17 beta 1 actually contribute to this evolution? Not significantly. The experience remains largely familiar and unchanged.

It was announced yesterday at WWDC, and I got to wear the headset for about 25 minutes today, but it isn't going on sale until "early next year," and its $3,499 retail price is going to be the point of much contentious debate.

This year, that update is macOS Sonoma. Currently in developer beta, it is the follow-up to last year's macOS Ventura, which delivered productivity-boosting features like Stage Manager. macOS Sonoma, though, isn't about groundbreaking new features.

They've produced quality earbuds since then, like the Beats Fit Pro and the Beats Studio Buds. Now, two years after the Buds debuted, Apple has updated the product line with the Beats Studio Buds+. They're better than the original model in just about every way, and they're good enough to challenge the AirPods Pro 2.

There's no doubt that Apple's most expensive smartwatch is the most advanced fitness tracker the company sells, providing more thorough data points than standard Apple Watches. But, third-party integration of the Action Button didn't happen like I had hoped, and watchOS still felt like it was designed for smaller watches. That all changes with watchOS 10, which is the first watchOS update that really feels like it was made to maximize big-screen Apple Watches.

It offers vast amounts of internal space so you can install just about anything, and thanks to the large mesh front panel, you'll have no problem cooling even the best processor and graphics card. But not everyone requires that much space, which is where the Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact comes in. As the name implies, it's a more compact version of the Meshify 2.

In fact, I’ll often order a case right after I buy the phone, so it arrives just in time to protect it right out of the box. This quick-buy case doesn’t always remain on my device for the duration of time that I own it, but the case I trust to protect my new investment is always the same: the Spigen Tough Armor.

]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/spigen-tough-armor-case-review/ Whenever you look to buy a device case, you have to find a balance between two factors: design and protection. There are plenty of cases that are sleek and look great, but they might not offer much in terms of protection. On the other hand, rugged cases that offer a lot of protection usually look bulky and dull. Casetify thinks it's found the perfect balance with its Ultra Impact Case, which is available for all the best iPads. The case features the unique designs that Casetify is known for, while also providing ample protection around the corners and edges.

There's definitely a need for better webcams in this day and age. Laptops have been getting better, but they're not quite there yet, especially with some brands like Dell XPS still using 720p sensors.

]]> Sat, 03 Jun 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/razer-kiyo-pro-ultra-review/ Two weeks ago I wrote an editorial about how the foldable phone has replaced the need for me to use a tablet in handheld form, and that tablets seem increasingly better used attached to a keyboard on a desk. It may seem like I wrote that piece with the Lenovo Tab Extreme in mind, but that was not the case: I only got my hands on this beast of a tablet after I had finished that editorial.

The company had two of its latest laptops at the show, the ExpertBook B9 OLED and ExpertBook B5 OLED, so I took the opportunity to check them out on the show floor. I also got to see the recently-launched Zenbook S 13 OLED, which looks fantastic.

]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2023 10:30:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/hands-on-asus-expertbook-b9-oled-b5-oled-computex-2023/ Asus had one of the biggest presences of any company at Computex, with dedicated booths for both its ROG division and its more home and business oriented products. Both of them were huge, too, and I've already gone over my thoughts on the ROG Ally, which is just one of the many things I got to check out at the ROG booth. But there's a lot more, and I wanted to talk about some of my favorite things here.

]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2023 09:45:22 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-rog-matrix-4090-showcase-computex-2023/ When I walked into the briefing room at this week's Motorola event, I jokingly asked Doug Michau, the company's executive director of North America business development, if he was excited to get a temporary reprieve from constantly being asked when there would be a new Razr. Indeed, the last one that we saw in the U.S. came out in 2020, and its 2022 successor was a China exclusive.

]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2023 18:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/hands-on-motorola-razr-plus-2023/ Asus announced the ROG Ally, a Steam Deck alternative, earlier this year, but it's only set to be available on June 13 in some markets around the world, so most of us really haven't had the chance to experience it yet. Thankfully, at Computex 2023, Asus had plenty of units for us to try, so, of course, we had to do exactly that.

]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2023 15:34:42 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/hands-on-asus-rog-ally-computex-2023/ 4K gaming has become more popular as PC hardware gets more powerful, and the best 4K gaming monitors have kept stride to accommodate a more satisfying high-res gaming experience. Lenovo's Legion Y32p-30 gaming monitor was announced in late 2022, with a focus on hybrid use for gamers who also work from home. Shelling out upwards of $750 just to have some fun isn't always possible, but combining your monitor purchase into one that handles work and gaming? That's easier to swallow.

]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2023 13:01:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-legion-y32p-30-review/ Computex 2023 is the time many companies choose to highlight some of their coolest PC products. Gigabyte is one such company, and I was invited over to check out some of the stuff the company has been working on. Most of the newest announcements were focused on components, especially motherboards, but there was a lot I liked about what Gigabyte showed me at this event.

]]> Wed, 31 May 2023 18:16:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/gigabyte-computex-2023-showcase/ MSI had some cool announcements at this year's Computex, focused heavily on its partnership with Mercedes AMG Motorsport with the new Stealth 16 laptop. But after that event, I got to check out MSI's booth at the show, and there's a lot more to see. Not all of it was announced at Computex, but MSI has some really cool stuff to show off at Computex, and I had some fun looking around at these products. Here are some of my favorites, but do note that it was very crowded so it wasn't always easy to get good pictures of all the products.

The MX line of mice, for example, has always been perfect for those on the go with a great laptop or Macbook. With the MX Anywhere 3, you already get a perfect compact mouse with an excellent magnetic scroll wheel, long battery life, and an ergonomic shape that fits all kinds of hands. Now, the follow-up, the MX Anywhere 3S is here, and it... doesn't bring much new to the table.

Much like the Swift series, Acer's gaming lineup is also being rebranded, and the company says the Predator Triton 16 is the successor to the older Predator Triton 300 SE. Its placement in the lineup is a bit confusing, and even Acer couldn't exactly tell me what each of the previous tiers of Predator laptops will become.

Of course, being at the show, I had to spend some time at Acer's booth checking out the new Swift Edge 16, one of the most premium laptops in the company's lineup. though I also took a look at some existing products that are already hitting different markets.

]]> Tue, 30 May 2023 14:58:21 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/acer-swift-edge-16-hands-on-computex-2023/ I always feel like Acer's laptops are underrated. I'm always impressed every time the company sends me a new model, but when the discussion comes up over which are the best laptops, the company is frequently overshadowed by the likes of HP, Lenovo, and Dell. And that continues to be true with the Acer Swift 14, which took things up a notch from its predecessor, the Swift 5.

]]> Tue, 30 May 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/acer-swift-14-2023-review/ Nvidia’s RTX 40 series had, and still has, a lot of controversy surrounding it, whether it’s the historically high price tag, or the ‘unannouncing’ of the RTX 4080 12GB model and its re-release as the RTX 4070 Ti. That said, the RTX 40 series has significant performance improvements over the RTX 30 series, and if you want to run 1440p or even 4k at 120Hz+, your best bet is the RTX 40 series. Luckily, both the RTX 4070 and 4080 have their use case and are some of the best gaming graphics cards, so let’s take a deeper look at which is the best for you.

]]> Mon, 29 May 2023 14:00:17 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-vs-4080/ Years ago, I met with a little company called Handl New York at a trade show. The company, which makes mobile accessories, was marketing a nifty phone case for many of the best iPhones with an ingenious concept: an elastic strap on the back that can be used as both a phone grip and a kickstand. Of course, this design is commonplace nowadays, arguably reaching new heights of popularity when the Popsockets became all the rage. But back then, it was a relatively new concept. Even with a flood of copycats, the design of the Handl remains my favorite.

These incredibly lightweight laptops wow me every time I pick them up, not only because of their size but also their solid performance and great displays. The brand-new LG Gram SuperSlim builds on this legacy, and it brings two major improvements.

As someone who uses Final Cut Pro on a MacBook regularly and thinks the iPad Pro is Apple's best and most versatile product, I was very eager to start testing. After a relatively steep learning curve on day one, I was editing videos with only minor hiccups by day two. By day three, I was zipping around the software and producing content almost as fast as I could on the Mac version.

The company knows a thing or two about making a solid chassis for a PC, including the new NZXT H5 Flow RGB, one of the latest mid-tower cases from the brand. There's RGB lighting, plenty of preinstalled fans, an interesting (and unique) GPU-focused cooling chamber, as well as the latest design updates to NZXT's catalog of PC cases.

I've reviewed a couple of Motorola's budget devices, the Moto G Play and Moto G Stylus, recently, but it has been quite a long time since I've had the chance to use a phone from the company that actually feels premium. The Edge+ (2023) is replacing last year's Motorola Edge+ with refreshed specs across the board and a more aggressive price point.

]]> Thu, 25 May 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-edge-plus-2023-review/ Motorola’s success over the past few years has stemmed from the lower end of the smartphone market. It’s captured the attention of consumers and reviewers alike with devices that can be well-rounded while delivering on just the fundamentals, making for some of the best budget phones. The standard Moto G series specifically has been a contender in this part of the market, and the latest model for 2023 is no exception.

]]> Thu, 25 May 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/moto-g-5g-2023-review/ I've been a fan of Mobvoi watches since I bought the original TicWatch E on Kickstarter in 2017. But what really locked me into the brand was the first TicWatch Pro, which launched in 2018. One of the key features of this series has been the dual-layer display, where the secondary screen is a monochromatic transparent LED panel that is highly visible in direct light but goes away entirely when the full-color OLED panel is activated. This is what keeps me coming back to TicWatch as my primary driver, and that hasn't changed with the latest model, the TicWatch Pro 5.

]]> Wed, 24 May 2023 16:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/mobvoi-ticwatch-pro-5-review/ Have you ever thought about what's inside that gaming headset you use? Most headsets these days have a mylar driver, which produces the sound. Other headsets might use graphene material but only have trace amounts of it in the coating of that driver. However, now we have the Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed, which is the first gaming headset using 90% graphene by weight in the audio diaphragm.

This is a mid-range cooler with ample thermal capacity with a 240mm radiator and the latest generation Asetek pump. NZXT markets this cooler as the best solution for an entry or mid-level processor such as an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7700. The NZXT Kraken 240 doesn't have any RGB lighting, but there is a CPU block LCD panel for displaying temperatures and other content.

]]> Tue, 23 May 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/nzxt-kraken-240-review/ The very best Lenovo convertible laptop you can buy is the Yoga 9i (2023), as you can probably tell by how many appearances it makes on our best laptop lists. As Lenovo's flagship, this great convertible has fancy polished edges, great keyboard shortcuts, and a gorgeous OLED display. The problem is, it costs $1,700. So, if your budget is tight, and you want something that's bigger, less flashy, and more mainstream, you'll want to buy the Yoga 7i 16 (2023) instead.

Apple itself tried a few different options, like the MagSafe Battery Pack and the MagSafe Wallet, but those accessories were flawed, with poor battery capacity, design, price, and build quality making them hard to recommend.

]]> Fri, 19 May 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/esr-power-bank-wallet-review/ The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is the company's latest shot at a laptop for content creators, so it looks and feels very similar to last year's Slim 7 Pro X. It does come with upgraded hardware, including an AMD Ryzen 7000 series processor, though it also cuts back in some ways, specifically the display.

]]> Thu, 18 May 2023 13:00:17 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-slim-pro-7-review/ Samsung Galaxy A14 5G is the entry point for what you could call the company's premium budget line, costing just $200. There were, of course, going to be sacrifices to get the phone down to such a low price point. For instance, it has a plastic build with a swirled texture on the back, subpar cameras, and no water resistance rating.

]]> Wed, 17 May 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-a14-5g-review/ Some of the best gaming laptops available today are coming out of Lenovo's Legion stable, offering access to a wide range of performance hardware, displays, and — perhaps most importantly — price points. While the Legion Pro 7i (Gen 8) might be our current favorite, its high-end design, features, and performance put it into a price range that's beyond reasonable for a lot of people.

]]> Tue, 16 May 2023 13:00:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/lenovo-legion-5-pro-2023-review/ There are a lot of great power banks on the market, but there are plenty more you should avoid. While those less-than-desirable options may be cheap, many also lack proper safety measures to ensure your devices aren't damaged during charging or to prevent fires due to poor construction. It's important to get a portable charger that charges your devices not only quickly but also safely. One brand that's doing that is Satechi, which is well-known for its hubs and wall chargers like its 200W 6-port USB-C charger.

However, Solidigm isn't really a new company; when Intel sold off its SSD division to SK Hynix, it was rebranded to Solidigm, and still advertises the popular budget 660p and 670p drives on its website.

After six generations of just making smartphones, it introduced the Pixel Watch and teased the Pixel Tablet last fall. At Google I/O, the Pixel Tablet officially launched, along with the Pixel Fold.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 13:40:18 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/hands-on-google-pixel-tablet/ It's a device that's been rumored for a long time now, and frankly, the Google Pixel Fold is a device that we were all hoping would be good. After all, we've seen four generations of Samsung foldables now, along with plenty of competitors in other markets. With the Pixel Fold launching at I/O and OnePlus poised to launch a foldable in Q3, the US is finally about to get some choice when it comes to foldable smartphones.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 13:20:16 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/hands-on-google-pixel-fold/ I've reviewed tons of great monitors, but one of my favorites was the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Video conferencing monitor. It's not traditional by any means, but it has a lot of what I look for in an excellent productivity display, including built-in speakers, 4K resolution, and even a built-in 4K webcam. I always wondered though if Dell could possibly make this great product better. Enter its follow-up, the Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 10:00:17 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/dell-ultrasharp-32-6k-monitor-u3224kb-review/ There used to be a clear line separating the flagship Pixel series from the mid-range A phones. The former would be powered by the best Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, while the latter would settle for a lower-tier Snapdragon silicon. But that line blurred with the Pixel 6 series when Google began using its own silicon and gave the subsequent 6a series access to the same chip.

The Poco F5 Pro, starting at US$449, packs a WQHD+ 120Hz OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, a solid 64MP main camera, wireless charging, flagship-level haptics, and speakers. There's even an official IP rating, which most Chinese mid-rangers omit.

You can find many of these that come in different sizes and with a lot of port selections, but a lot of devices these days are now using USB-C. This is where a product like the Satechi 200W USB-C 6-Port GaN Charger proves to be useful.

]]> Sat, 06 May 2023 13:00:16 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/satechi-200-w-usb-c-6-port-charger-review/ Motorola has been making some of the best cheap Android phones for years now, and the Moto G Stylus 2023 aims to continue that trend. As one of the few smartphones in the budget category that offers a built-in stylus, Motorola has a chance to expand the reach of its devices to not only those who are short on cash but also want the ability to write on their phone. While it doesn't have the same prowess as something like the $1,200 Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which also includes a stylus, it does have a place in the smartphone market.

]]> Fri, 05 May 2023 13:00:16 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/moto-g-stylus-2023-review/ Plugable makes a lot of docking stations, catering to different segments of the market. That includes one of the best Thunderbolt docks, but it costs quite a lot of money, which could be a big problem. If you want a cheaper solution, the Plugable USB-C Triple HDMI Display Docking Station (UD-3900PDH) might just be for you.

]]> Thu, 04 May 2023 13:01:16 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/plugable-ud-3900pdh-review/ Lenovo has gained a solid reputation in the best gaming laptop discussion, and we're so impressed with the Legion Pro 7i (Gen 8) that it's our current top pick out of systems from Razer, Asus, MSI, Dell, Samsung, and more. The Legion Pro 7i is undeniably great, but it's positioned more as the pinnacle of what Lenovo can accomplish, sticking with high-end specs (a Core i9-13900HX is the only CPU available) and a premium price tag to match. The eighth-generation Legion Pro 5i, which I've been testing out for the last couple of weeks, starts at a more reasonable price and has hardware tuned closer to what average gamers will want. Nevertheless, it comes with many of the same high-end features and smooth 16-inch display available in the Legion Pro 7i.

The trend continues with the latest version but adds marked improvements over its predecessor, like a 1080p display, 120Hz refresh rate, 5G connectivity, a better processor, and more. The previous Moto G Power was one of the best cheap Android phones available, so our expectations were high.

]]> Mon, 01 May 2023 13:00:51 GMT https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-moto-g-power-5g-2023-review/ Last year's Xiaomi 12S Ultra was in my (and many reviewers') opinion the best smartphone camera of 2022 due largely to its new 1-inch type sensor developed by Sony. However, it was only sold in China. This year's Xiaomi 13 Ultra finally goes "global" (or, at least, to Southeast Asia and parts of Europe along with China), but is now in a much heavier market since that sensor can now be found in several other phones. So for the 13, Xiaomi made refinements around that star sensor, such as adding a variable aperture, improving peripheral cameras, and even adding a camera grip accessory that turns the device into more camera than phone. But are these enough to keep the lead it built over rivals last year?

One of the reasons is that it pretty much defined its category. Up until a few years ago, a premium 15-inch laptop with the power to edit videos was really something you'd either find in the gaming laptop market, or from Apple.

But now the company has released the NZXT Capsule Mini, a more compact and affordable gaming microphone for budding streamers and content creators. It's powered by USB, can be paired up with NZXT's own small microphone arm (recommended!), and makes full use of the cardioid polar pattern for recording crisp audio.
