While Samsung’s foray into the foldable world gives fans a unique alternative, for those just looking for a traditional flagship, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the strongest competition against the iPhone 13 Pro Max. This year, both made significant advances with their cameras resulting in slightly different advantages that may tip the scales depending on your preferences. While some categories definitively tip in favor of one over the other, there are plenty of grey areas to sort out that may be the difference-maker between you choosing the Galaxy S21 Ultra or the iPhone 13 Pro Max....

However, according to a new MacRumors report, the iPhone 14 Pro’s so-called “pill-and-hole design” may look more unified. When the iPhone 14 Pro is turned on, the cutouts will appear to have a continuous pill shape that Apple reportedly believes is “less distracting.” iPhone 14 Pro display cut outs reportedly look undivided Apple was reportedly displeased with the “uneven aesthetic” of the pill-and-hole design, so it decided to kill the pixels in the space between the cut outs....

Is Apple Customer Service Good? 2021 Rating Apple was known for its tech support, and it’s still a unique challenge to stump them or get one of their reps flustered. I know this because I tried my darndest, as I went into full Jason Bourne mode to disarm and deceive everyone I came into contact with. Would I break them with my disoriented newbie middle-aged man who has never owned a computer charm and nonsense?...

This range includes keyboards, mice, a gaming headset, and a recoloring of the Blue Yeti Mic to match. While this sounds like a positive step for peripheral design, we’ve spotted some problems — namely that becoming “inclusive” has translated into higher-priced items with smaller batteries. Pretty, but pricey A good example of this comes in the $200 G715 (opens in new tab) and $170 G713 (opens in new tab) gaming keyboards, which pack per-key RGB lighting, a selection of three GX mechanical switches (clicky, linear, or tactile) and a cloud-shaped palm rest....

I felt that same pain as many did on launch day. I tucked into that glitchy mess with super low frame rates, strange textures, and basically the whole world pop-in, which broke the immersion — something a game like this relies on. But there are some strong hints that all of this may change today and we will be getting the much-desired next-gen version of the game for PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S....

While bringing forth quality features, the Live 300TWS has distinguishable flaws that hinder its overall performance. This includes an unfavorable fit, mediocre listening modes and subdued bass.

Design The Flex 6 presents a simple, sleek design with a two-tone black plastic chassis with silver accents. The Lenovo logo sits neatly engraved at the top-left corner of the lid, and the dual, 360-degree aluminum hinges have a slight gleam. Those hinges aren’t just for show; they allow the system to transform from a traditional laptop into tablet, tent and presentation modes. And while the different modes are quite useful, they aren’t always the most aesthetically pleasing....

Despite shortcomings such as below-average battery life and last-gen Wi-Fi, the 110S is a good value for the money. However, as long as it’s still for sale, Lenovo’s older Ideapad 100s is a stronger choice for those who want longer battery life with a little less performance. Design The Ideapad 110S is a white, plastic block. Design-wise, machines don’t come much plainer than this. At best, the Ideapad 110S is inoffensive, though I think the all-white design is reminiscent of a 10-year-old MacBook....

Design The 5.8-pound, 1.16-inch-thick ThinkPad P50 is just compact enough to be squeezed into a typical laptop bag or be carried around the office, and is much lighter than Lenovo’s 17-inch, 7.6-pound ThinkPad P70. However, other 15-inch workstations are much more portable, such as the Apple MacBook Pro (4.4 pounds, 0.71 inches thick), the Dell Precision 5510 (4.6 pounds, 0.66 inches thick) and the HP ZBook Studio G3 (4.6 pounds, 0....
