That is until now, as the Huawei MateBook X Pro throws its hat into the ring and hurls some serious haymakers after years of iterative developments — becoming one of my favorite laptops in a long time. With impressive 12th Gen Intel performance, a sleek, well-thought-out design, and peak ergonomics for working on the go, the MateBook X Pro has undergone a dramatic overhaul since the 2021 model and is now one of the best laptops you can get....
For just $79, the HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless offers solid gaming performance, comfortable earpads, seamless wireless connectivity and USB Type-C charging. However, given the price, you’ll have to deal with a cheap design, a bulky headband that makes it difficult to get a comfortable fit and a serious lack of EQ options. Despite these flaws, the HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless is one of the best gaming headsets around, making it a great option for those who want to save some money instead of buying new gear for next-gen systems....
God of War Ragnarök is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. It’s a non-stop thrill ride full of twists and turns, and possibly has the greatest opening ever in a game — and that’s saying a lot. Our reviewer Jason England gave God of War Ragnarök a 5 out of 5 stars for good reason, and I, too, love this game’s incredible production value, emotionally gripping, unforgettable story, and engaging side quests....
None of these elements are particularly excellent, but they’re adequate enough to make Fenyx Rising worth playing. Unfortunately, the game seriously stumbles with terrible writing, an unbearable cast of characters, and a rewards system that lacks immersion or excitement. Regardless, I’m highly anticipating how this all plays out in the full game. Fenyx Rising has the potential to be a competent Breath of the Wild successor, but it could just as easily stumble in its latter areas....
Leading the way is the 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11375H Special Edition processor with Turbo Boost Max 3.0 for up to 5Ghz Turbo frequencies. The chips use the latest PCIe Gen 4 technology for the fastest connection to the latest Nvidia or AMD graphics cards. Not only should it deliver fast performance but the H35 series processors will allow for gaming in even smaller packages. Best gaming laptops in 2021Best cheap gaming laptops in 2021...
This rumor comes courtesy of The Verifier, an Israeli tech publication, and its sources say when iOS 15 arrives next year, it will leave behind the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and the original iPhone SE (via TechRadar). Black Friday phone deals 2020: Early sales on iPhone 12, Samsung GalaxyiPhone 12 Pro Max vs. Galaxy Note 20 Ultra: Premium flagship fight!Best smartphones in 2020 The Verifier has something of a hit or miss record when it comes to Apple rumors, but last year it was correct in saying that iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 would support all devices that were capable of running iOS 13, so perhaps this is an area where its sources are more reliable....

Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), one of the top supply-chain consulting firms in the world, prophesizes that the 10.9-inch AMOLED iPad will be available to consumers by 2023. Apple iPad Air (2020) review: This is the one to buyThe best tablets of 2021 iPad Air with OLED display release date may be two years out Rumors about an upcoming OLED-equipped iPad Air flooded in this year from esteemed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Korean outlet ETNews, Taiwan-based Digitimes and other tech blabbermouths....
When I first saw the new iPad Pro’s test results from our lab, I thought there was a big mistake. This new 10.5-inch tablet turned in performance scores so high that they blow away most laptops. In fact, the iPad Pro (starting at $649 for 64GB, $907 with keyboard and Apple Pencil) smokes the new 12-inch MacBook and rivals the 13-inch MacBook Pro. That’s how powerful the new A10X Fusion chip is inside this 1-pound powerhouse....
This is due, in part, to its advanced camera system that sets itself apart from the iPhone 12 Pro despite the similar array of lenses on the back of both smartphones. While battery life has always been an advantage for the large iPhone variants, the extra runtime offered by the Pro Max is especially vital this year as the other iPhone 12 models have come up short on battery life for the first time in years....
While I’m not sure that even Apple knows what “Pro” means to it anymore, the latter point would be hard to argue with; these are almost certainly the best iPhones ever made. Across all four iPhone 13 models, there are upgrades that could have a meaningful impact on your day-to-day usage. Still, as usual, Apple highlighted some upgrades that just won’t matter for the vast majority of users. We’re going to take a closer look at some of the features that Apple spent the most time on during the announcement and let you know whether this is something you should care about or not, which should help you decide if the iPhone 13 is right for you....
As spotted by Apple Insider (opens in new tab), a recent patent filed with the U.S. Patent Office titled “Photodetectors Integrated into Thin-Film Transistor Backplanes” explains how Apple could use in-display photodetectors to “obtain biometric information, such as fingerprints, palm-prints, 3D face scans, or retina scans.” In layman’s terms, the back of the screen would be layered with Thin-Film Transistors that will act as a camera and biometric scanner capable of IDing users....
We recently revealed the battery runtime results of the iPhone 14 Pro, and it delivered a two-hour battery life drop compared to the iPhone 13 Pro. Yikes! Is the entry-level iPhone 14 in the same embarrassing boat? Kind of, but fortunately, it’s not nearly as catastrophic. iPhone 14 battery life The iPhone 14 comes with a 3,279 mAh battery, a step up from the iPhone 13’s 3,240 mAh battery. Despite the bigger battery, the iPhone 14 struggled to outpace its predecessor when we tested its power efficiency....
I can’t tell you how many nights my SE 2020’s battery life plummeted to 0%, damn-near leaving me stranded because Lyft and Uber were my main modes of transportation for returning home — and you can’t order a ride-share service with a dead device! Fortunately, as an occasional phone reviewer, I always had a second device, like the enduring iPhone 13, that outlasted the SE 2020. Now that Apple released the iPhone SE’s next generation, paired with power-hungry 5G support, surely you can understand my trepidation....

Like clockwork, we repeat dozens of tasks on our computers every day. It could be launching a set of apps as soon as you kick off the work day or playing a specific Spotify playlist at a particular time. The built-in keyboard shortcuts are not tailored to these personal workflows. With a bit of help from third-party apps, you can build custom shortcuts on Macs, Windows PCs and Chromebooks. Here’s how to get started....
If you plan on buying an Apple MacBook Pro, then you can skip the lines and stop worrying about those ephemeral Lightning Deals and, instead, take advantage of a sale going on at B&H Photo Video. The retailer is currently selling the 2018 MacBook Pro for as much as $900 off. Apple only recently released the 2019 version of its flagship laptop, so now is the perfect time to jump on a sale for the previous model (one of our favorite laptops of 2018) before they’re all gone....
Today only, you can get the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 for just $299 (opens in new tab). That’s $150 off its normal price of $429 and its lowest price to date. This is one of the best Chromebook deals we’ve seen all year. Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 deal In our Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 review, we loved its flexible 2-in-1 design, touch screen with pen support and exceptional keyboard. We are also fans of its webcam privacy shutter....
Design The IdeaPad 120S comes in hues Lenovo calls Mineral Grey and Denim Blue, and sports a nondescript look that makes me say “Yep, it’s a laptop.” That ho-hum design may be a perk for some, as the Dell Inspiron 11 3000’s candy colors make it look more like a toy for Junior than a device for an adult. Lenovo claims the machine sports a “protective finish to guard against wear and tear,” but (even with gentle care) I’ve noticed a bit of the lid’s sparkling finish has already rubbed off....
Lenovo has already announced plans to offer a refreshed model of the Y900 with Pascal graphics sometime later this year, so gamers who want the best performance should strongly consider waiting for the updated config. Design Well look who decided to get all sexy! After years of describing the Y-series as “understated chic”, it seems like Lenovo decided to get some much-needed edge. Instead of the plain old black cross-hatched aluminum on prior models, the lid has a pair of glossy black accent ridges that match the shiny Lenovo logo in the top-right corner....
