Pascal’s Wager review: Finally, a Souls-like for your phone

Pascal's Wager is essentially a Dark Souls game on mobile devices. Somehow, that was not a complete disaster. While mostly imitating FromSoftware, the game also has a few unique ideas that add a nice twist of strategy to the standard formula, including a "sanity" system during battles.

Emporio Armani Smartwatch 3 Review: Not the style icon it should be

Wearing an Armani suit is a big statement, and such things are often worn by someone who wants to look classy and sophisticated. Surely wearing an Emporio Armani smartwatch will return the same effect? Sadly, the latest model -- unimaginatively named the Smartwatch 3 -- just doesn't have the style or performance you're looking for.
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster

2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster Review: Listen to that V12 sing

With 759 horsepower, a track-tuned chassis, and wild active aerodynamics, the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster is a stunning performance machine. Can ditching the roof make this supercar even more visceral, or does it water down the overall experience?

sigma 14 24mm f28 dg dn art review 4

Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art review: A true work of art

Built specifically for mirrorless cameras and housed in a smaller, lighter body, this is the new fast ultra-wide to beat. With equal performance and nearly the same price as the original, Sigma's second 14-24mm F2.8 Art lens is a winner.
Puma Smartwatch

Puma Smartwatch review: Looks sporty, performs poorly

Manufactured by the Fossil Group, the Puma Smartwatch offers a sleek and sporty Wear OS look and plenty of fitness tracking features. It's also a device that doesn't need your phone to track your workouts. But performance is a major issue -- even more so than most Wear OS watches.

Apple CarPlay (2020) Review: The last word in infotainment

In the years following its 2014 debut, Apple continued to improve CarPlay in small, yet meaningful ways. But with the past two major iOS updates, Apple has elevated its in-car interface from tech novelty to a must-have feature.
Deebot 960 sucking up chips

Ecovacs Deebot 960 Review: Wasted potential

We have loved many of the other smart robot vacuums that Ecovacs has come out with. A couple have even made our best robot vacuum of the year list. So I was pretty excited to try out the Deebot 960. It comes with advanced AI and it even mops. After trying it out, I was sorely disappointed.

Logitech Ergo K860 review: The most comfortable keyboard you can buy

Logitech has a heritage of making super comfortable mice. Now, some of those same design elements are coming to a keyboard too with the Logitech Ergo K860. It completes Logitech's Ergo lineup and with its ergonomics and design, the K860 is one of the most comfortable keyboards you can buy.
DualShock4 Back Button Attachment

PlayStation DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment review: Great upgrade, great price

The PS4's DualShock 4 controller now has two more buttons with the addition of the Back Button Attachment. The $30 accessory is the perfect complement to the original controller and adds two buttons. The design is a little bulky, but it's still a great accessory for the price.
sigma 35mm f12 art review dg dn 2

Sigma 35mm F1.2 Art review: Perfectly impractical

The Cybertruck of lenses, the Sigma 35mm F1.2 is about showing off as much as it is class-leading performance. It's bulky and heavy, but you won't find a better 35mm. Three aspherical elements, 11 aperture blades, and a weather-sealed build help this lens stand above the rest.
sigma fp review front logo dm 26

Sigma Fp review: A miniature marvel with a fatal flaw

The Fp is a new breed of mirrorless camera with best-in-class video features. However, it lacks a few key ingredients that will be red flags for still photographers, such as a viewfinder and, more importantly, a mechanical shutter.

HP Envy 32 All-in-One review: iMac killer?

For 2020, Apple might just need to watch its back. With the new Envy 32 All-in-One, HP is taking the all-in-one category to new places. Thanks to the luxurious design, an immersive display, and some incredible processing power, this new PC might have everything to topple Apple's iMac.

HP Spectre x360 15 (2020) hands-on review: Less bezel, more power

Although year's Spectre x360 15 had a few weaknesses in those same areas HP is back with a big vengeance. The new 2020 Spectre x360 15 is now even more of a serious in the 2-in-1 space with its smaller bezels and big Intel and Nvidia power under the hood. It's sure to make Microsoft, Dell, and many others quite jealous.

TCL's first true wireless earbuds available in the U.S. have finally landed just ahead of CES 2020. Offering impressive battery life and water resistance at just $80, these earbuds promise a lot of value at a very low price point. But in this market, it takes more than that to impress.
Nikon Z 24mm f/1.8 lens mounted to Z 6 camera

Nikon Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 review: Wide, sharp, and spectacular

The Nikon Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S is the widest prime lens for Nikon's mirrorless series. Paired with a wide aperture, it's just as sharp and bright as the other Z-series primes we've tested, making it a versatile option for both landscape and portrait photography.

Nikon Z 50 Review: The Instagrammer’s mirrorless camera

Can Nikon bring its DSLR prowess to a crop sensor mirrorless camera? The Nikon Z 50 is the company's smallest DX camera yet, and its first APS-C mirrorless. Sporting a 20-megapixel APS-C sensor and in-camera editing features, it's a camera for a new generation of photographers.

Traveling and communicating in foreign lands isn't easy, but the Jarvisen Translator claims to be the best there is by translating up to 60 languages in real time. We put the Jarvisen Translator to the test, to see if it's worth its $429 price tag.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 Review: The fastest Thinkpad ever

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 is well-named. It's a ThinkPad on the outside and a PC geek's dream laptop on the inside. It's incredibly fast and has a display that will please the most exacting creative professional, while sporting the things ThinkPad enthusiasts will love just as much.

8BitDo Zero 2 review: This gamepad fits in your pocket

The 8BitDo Zero 2 is the tiniest controller we've ever seen, giving you a great option for playing the Nintendo Switch on the go. You'll just have to make sure you take some breaks in order to avoid the hand cramping that comes with using a controller that is less than three inches long.
Amazon Fire TV Cube

Amazon Fire TV Cube review

Amazon Fire TV Cube goes far beyond being an Echo/Fire TV stick hybrid. Thanks to HDMI CEC control, an IR blaster, and a new user interface, the Fire TV Cube can take even the most complicated entertainment system and simplify it so just about anyone can use it. And now it has native YouTube, too.
Facebook Portal 2019

Facebook Portal (10-inch, 2019) review: For Facebook fans only

Facebook's new 10-inch Portal smart display emphasizes staying in touch with friends and family through video calls. There’s a crop of smart displays that offer incredible functionality, but Facebook’s interpretation may have people being more cautious about what they share publicly.
Nokia 4.2 Review

Nokia 4.2 review

The Nokia 4.2 has good battery life, uncluttered Android One software that delivers fast updates, and a design and build that doesn’t match its $189 price tag. But the processor throws all these merits under the bus. That, along with the Micro USB port, make for a phone that’s tough to recommend.

Apple Card review: Two months in, the benefits just get better

Apple’s tie-up with Goldman Sachs has birthed a credit card with a lot of buzz, even if its rewards are a bit paltry and it’s iPhone-only card management might leave you stranded if you lose your phone. But this is about getting Americans used to mobile payments, and it does that quite well.
amazon echo dot review

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd gen) review

Amazon’s third-generation Echo Dot puts on some weight and comes dressed in a warmer, more welcoming design. The result is a better-looking Alexa device with good enough sound quality to deserve being called a speaker. In our Amazon Echo Dot review, we dig into what’s new and discuss whether this speaker deserves a home within your home. Turns out, the answer is probably yes.
Fossil Gen 5 watch face

Fossil Gen 5 review: Style overcomes the flaws of Wear OS

Google’s Wear OS watches have a hard time distinguishing themselves. Some poke their head above the status quo with value, looks, or performance. In the case of the Fossil Gen 5, it’s the looks and smooth performance. I still can’t help but feel that Google is letting companies like Fossil down.

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB first drive review: Giving you space

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB isn't the first compact Mercedes model, but it may be the one that makes the most sense. The GLB combines real practicality with impressive refinement and tech. It shares a basic platform and tech with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, CLA, and GLA models.
Bowers and Wilkins PX7

Bowers and Wilkins PX7 wireless headphones review

Making a splash in the wireless, noise-canceling headphones space is no easy feat considering the excellent products from Sony, Bose, and others. The B&W PX7 manage to do it with their distinctive blend of top-tier materials and awesome sound. But are they worth $400?
2020 Audi RS Q8

2020 Audi RS Q8 first drive review: Do-it-all SUV was a decade in the making

Ten years of advancements in the fields of hybrid technology, infotainment systems, and chassis wizardry shaped the 2020 Audi RS Q8 into a well-rounded performance SUV for the whole family. It blends intuitive technology, a tremendously powerful V8 engine, and a cabin with ample space for people and gear.
hp spectre x360

HP Spectre x360 13 (late 2019) review: Smaller, faster, and better in every way

The late 2019 version of the HP Spectre x360 13 is smaller than ever thanks to tiny bezels and a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. It's also faster, offers a class-leading OLED display with incredible brightness, colors, and contrast, and it maintains the same excellent build quality as always.
2020 mercedes benz cla review amg 35

2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA first drive review: Bite size luxury

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA is better than before, but it faces new competition within the Mercedes lineup from the related A-Class sedan. The CLA features sleeker exterior styling than its Mercedes-Benz A-Class sibling, and more standard horsepower, but also a higher price.
2020 Mazda CX-30 first drive

2020 Mazda CX-30 first drive review: Right-sized

Mazda's all-new 2020 CX-30 aims to fill a gap in the small SUV market. It's small, but not too small. It has premium features, but the price isn't outrageously high. Mazda hopes this will be the right fit for many buyers. Is it the right fit for you?
TCL 6 Series

TCL 6-Series 4K HDR TV Review: Heir to the value throne

TCL's much-lauded 6-Series TV got an update in 2019, primarily with the addition of quantum dots, which are designed to offer a wider color gamut and richer color volume. But what else changed, and were those changes for the better? We dissected the TV to get you the answers you need.
