lenovo legion c730 cube review feat 29932

Lenovo Legion C730 Cube review

Though the Legion C730 Cube may look like a cooler with its carry handle, and it does a good job keeping its “six pack” -- in the form of Intel’s hexa-core Core i7 CPU – cool, Lenovo designed this desktop for you to take to your next LAN party. With AMD or Nvidia graphics options, the C730 is also a VR-ready system.
Google Pixel Stand

Google Pixel Stand review

Google’s new Pixel 3 smartphones can wirelessly charge, so the company is releasing its own wireless charger. But the Pixel Stand is no ordinary charger -- it’s packed with smart features that enhance your phone even when it’s out of your hands. It also makes Google Assistant far more accessible.
2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse

2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross first drive review

The 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross relies on 1990s nostalgia, spiffy styling, and a new turbocharged engine to add some spice to a bland crossover recipe. Mitsubishi is trying to rebuild itself with a focus on SUVs, and the Eclipse Cross is an important part of that strategy.
nikon z 35mm f 1 8 s review lens 2

Nikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens review

Nikon made big promises with the new Z mount lenses, but now that they are finally here, did Nikon overpromise? The Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S doesn’t use the Z mount to slim down, but it does capture im-pressive images with sharp centers, smooth bokeh and impressively little distortion. One performance factor, however, may be lacking.
ASUS Zenfone 5Q review

ASUS Zenfone 5Q review

The Zenfone 5Q has a beautiful design, long-lasting battery, and solid performance. But for $300, it doesn’t quite live up to its good looks, especially with all the other budget phone options out there on the market. We take a closer look at what this budget phone has to offer in our Asus Zenfone 5Q review.
2019 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth

2019 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth first drive review

We head to Streets of Willow in Rosamond, California, to put Fiat's track-tuned roadster through its paces on the road course. The result of an engineering partnership between Fiat and Mazda, the 124 Spider Abarth is a timely reminder that horsepower isn't the final word in high performance.
HP Envy X2 review

HP Envy x2 review

HP swapped out the ARM processor in its original Envy x2 for a low-power Intel CPU and got what it wanted: Better performance and decent battery life. But it dropped the ball on the keyboard cover, and the display can’t compete with its higher-resolution competitors.
samsung galaxy book 2 review feat

Samsung Galaxy Book 2 review

Samsung’s latest Windows tablet comes with the Snapdragon 850 Processor—instead of Intel inside. It takes many design elements from the Surface Pro, and with bonus kicks like a Super AMOLED display and always connected LTE. But at $1,000 is the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 truly worth the price? We dive deeper to find out.
Lenovo Yoga Book C930 review

Lenovo Yoga Book C930 review

Projects as experimental as the Yoga Book C930 are a rare breed. This keyboard-less, dual-screen laptop takes what was clunky about the original Yoga Book, and streamlines the functionality using an e-ink screen. Our review will help you decide if this is a novel new PC alternative, or just a fad.
Lenovo Yoga C930 Review

Lenovo Yoga C930 Review

The Lenovo Yoga C930 updates the company’s premium consumer 2-in-1, shedding the iconic watchband hinge and packing some serious audio components into the Dolby Atmos sound bar. It’s fast, conservative, and built like a tank, with some of the longest battery life around.
Phiaton Bolt BT 700 review

Phiaton Bolt BT 700 review

With a simple design, five hours of battery life, and a charging case that offers a built-in Bluetooth speaker, the Phiaton Bolt BT 700 are a great pair of true wireless earbuds at an extremely palatable price. If you’re in the market for a swiss army knife of sound, they may be just the ticket.
roku premiere plus review 2018 1

Roku Premiere+ (2018) review

When it comes to streaming devices, the sheer volume of choices these days can be daunting, and Roku has more models than anyone. While you really can’t go wrong with any Roku, the company’s new Premiere+ stands out in the crowd, expertly balancing affordability and performance for impressive value.
2019 Fiat 500 Abarth

2019 Fiat 500 Abarth first drive review

We put Fiat’s Abarth-tuned 500 through its paces at the Streets of Willow racetrack to see what it's all about. Based on the standard 500 city car, this diminutive performance machine uses a turbocharged, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 160 hp that sends it from zero to 60 mph in less than seven seconds.
Honeywell SmarHome Security Starter Kit

Honeywell Smart Home Security Starter Kit Review

Despite its high price, the Honeywell Smart Home Security Starter Kit offers great value, bringing together home security, a network camera, and Alexa-enabled control in a comprehensive, easy-to-use package. We got a chance to test drive the system and came away mostly impressed.
North Focals

North Focals hands-on preview

North, formerly known as Thalmic Labs, has unveiled a new product alongside the brand-name change. Focals is a pair of smartglasses, like Google Glass, that attempt to help keep you heads-up in the present, instead of staring down at a screen. It costs $999, and pre-orders have begun.

Garmin Vivosmart 4 review

On paper, Garmin's latest fitness band, the Vivosmart 4, hits the mark with its stylish design, a pulse ox sensor, and innovative features like body battery. How do these features measure up in real life? Are they worthwhile or a waste? We put the Garmin fitness tracker to the test to find out.
Nest Hello

Nest Hello video doorbell review

Nest Hello’s crystal-clear video, intelligent features and simple operation ensure you’ll never tire of hearing the doorbell ring. Now you can answer your door no matter where you are.
Samsung CHG90 Ultrawide Monitor review

Samsung CHG90 ultrawide monitor review

When it comes to gaming monitors, sometimes wide just isn’t wide enough. Samsung has taken that to a new max with its 49-inch gaming monitor, the CHG90. With quantum dot technology, a 144Hz refresh rate, and ungodly amounts of screen real estate, it just might be the most impressive gaming monitor ever made.
Asus Zenbook UX330UA review

Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UA review

It’s never been truer that you don’t need to spend over a thousand bucks to buy a good laptop. The new ZenBook 13 takes what we’ve always loved about its predecessor and makes enough small refinements to keep it ahead of its competitors. Though just $800, it fares better in some areas better than laptops that cost twice as much.
google pixel usb c earbuds review buds 1

Google Pixel USB-C earbuds review

Google’s follow-up to its wireless Pixel Buds are the wired Google Pixel USB-C earbuds. It’s the simpler route, but the earbuds are still smart (you can access Google Assistant) they deliver good sound, you can hear your notifications, and – best of all -- they’re affordable.
Dell G3 Gaming Laptop Review | Fortnite

Dell G3 Gaming Laptop review

Compromise and budget gaming laptops go hand-in-hand, but with the Dell G3 Gaming Laptop, Dell has figured out how to balance what gamers want with what they can live without. It’s not a perfect gaming laptop, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find performance value.
Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition review

Save your iPad and snag your child a tough Amazon tablet packed with age-appropriate content. In this Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet review, we put the device through its paces with kids in the wild. Find out if the curated content, rugged case, and parental controls stand up.
huawei mate 20 x review feat

Huawei Mate 20 X hands-on review

The Huawei Mate 20 X has a 7.2-inch screen, but is surprisingly manageable to hold, yet still a little too big to carry around. Huawei’s pushing the phone’s ability as a mobile gaming handheld, challenging everything from the Razer Phone to the Nintendo Switch. We’ve tried one out to see what it’s like.
philips hue lightstrip outdoor review feat

Philips Hue Lightstrip Outdoor review

Philips Hue fans can at last enjoy the brilliance of this weatherproof light strip, which offers simple, versatile positioning, a rich selection of 16 million color options, and bright, vibrant illumination. Deck life and holiday home decorating just got a whole lot better.
Porsche Design Huawei Mate 20 RS

Porsche Design Huawei Mate 20 RS hands-on review

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro looks like an exceptional phone, so can a version with Porsche Design’s involvement be worth spending twice as much on? We’ve taken the phone for a test drive, and enjoyed cradling the leather-clad case in our hands; but does it go deeper than that? Let’s take a look in our hands-on review.
2019 Audi A8 First Drive

2019 Audi A8 first drive review

For the last three generations, Audi’s A8 has trailed its main rivals — BMW’s 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class — in sales and prestige. Styled for impact and engineered for exceptional ride and handling, the fourth-generation A8 may finally disrupt the full-size luxury car market.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Review

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’ review

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s omission of a campaign could have been a deal breaker, but multiplayer, Zombies, and the new Blackout mode make it one of the best shooters of the year. In abandoning campaign mode, Treyarch may have also set a new standard for battle royale.
amazon echo plus review 2nd gen feat

Amazon Echo Plus (2nd gen) review

Amazon’s second-generation Echo Plus speaker is the loudest, bassiest speaker in the Echo fleet. While featuring a smart hub with only Zigbee connectivity, other upgrades make this device a worthy smart speaker. We took the device for a whirl around the smart home to see how it fares against other speakers in the space.
lg tone platinum se hbs 1120 review 16

LG Tone Platinum SE review

The latest in LG’s Tone wireless headphones series, the new Tone Platinum SE, offer some impressive audio performance and Google Assistant access, but the real prize here is the 13-hour battery.
vizio p series p65 f1 review 5

Vizio P-Series (P65-F1) review

Vizio’s P-Series TV line has always been the best among the brand’s long run of budget-friendly TVs, but this year’s model has really stepped up. With impressive HDR, killer contrast, and brilliant colors, it’s an LED TV wonder to behold.
microsoft surface pro 6 review 3

Surface Pro 6 review

It’s been updated to its sixth generation, now coming dressed in black and packing a quad-core processor. Those two recognizable features of the Surface Pro 6 are here -- and are great. But don’t be fooled: You’ll have to dig a little deeper to see where Microsoft has made some truly noteworthy improvements.
Fujifilm X-T3 Review

Fujifilm X-T3 review

If the X-T2 brought Fujifilm into the modern era, the X-T3 is focused on the future. With a new sensor and processor, completely revamped autofocus, a brilliant electronic viewfinder, and vastly upgraded video, it's the new APS-C camera to beat, and is the perfect blend of style and substance.
Jabra Elite Active 65t review

Jabra Elite Active 65t review: Spring for this upgrade

Our favorite fully wireless headphones have gained a small but hyper-usable upgrade, adding excellent sweat-proofing for a small price bump. But are Jabra’s new Elite Active 65t in-ears worth the dough, or are the originals good enough for all but the most hardcore workout enthusiasts?
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme review

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme review

Lenovo’s ThinkPad line is targeted at business use, but it’s long appealed to hardcore PC geeks. The X1 Extreme, which combines a powerful processor and high-resolution screen with Nvidia graphics, seems built for them. Check out our Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme review to find out if it’s a win.
