Amazon Echo Show Review CNN

Amazon Echo Show (1st gen) review

The Amazon Echo Show is a smart assistant with a screen, so you can both see and hear what Alexa’s talking about. Right now, features like being able to see your timer or camera feed are helpful, but not world-changing. Here's what happened when we took the device for a spin.
irobot roomba i7+ review profile

iRobot Roomba i7+ review

The range-topping, reimagined Roomba i7+ offers great cleaning performance, multi-floor mapping and automatic dirt disposal, throwing shade on discount dirt-busters. We wouldn’t be surprised to see other robovacs follow suite by copying many of the features of this device. We took it for a test spin to see how well it worked.
2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door

2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe first drive review

No longer tasked with simply enhancing Mercedes-Benz models, Mercedes-AMG now builds production vehicles from the ground up with an emphasis on track-capable performance. The GT 4-Door Coupe is the third from-scratch model by AMG and it looks to be a proper sports car with luxurious details.
Sony-WH-1000X-M3

Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones review

Sony took its already outstanding 1000X wireless, noise-canceling headphones and somehow made them even better. With best-in-class noise-canceling, stellar audio quality, unreal battery life and quick-charging, and clever and useful features, these classy cans are the full package.
FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor Review

FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor Review

Instead of relying on an old-fashioned mirror, it may be time to step up to a parking sensor. The latest FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor license plate frame connects to your phone via Bluetooth and gives you radar for the front or back of your vehicle.
2019 mercedes benz a class sedan review first drive xxl 2

2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan first drive review

While it seems like the traditional sedan is dead, Mercedes-Benz believes otherwise. And the 2019 A-Class sedan arrives to try and capture younger buyers and sway them from competitors. We explore Seattle in one to see if it’s any good.
anker soundcore infini soundbar review feat

Anker Soundcore Infini soundbar review

Best known for its battery chargers, Anker has expanded into audio in a big way in recent years with its Soundcore lineup, including Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and soundbars. The latest example is the Soundcore Infini soundbar. At just $99, it makes for a very affordable add-on to your entertainment setup, but is it worth the cash?
HP Spectre 13 2017 Review

HP Spectre 13 (2017) review

Our HP Spectre 13 review evaluates the “thinnest touchscreen notebook” to see if you can make something smaller and increase its speed and longevity. The results are mostly positive, but the thin-and-light competition hasn't stood still, leaving the Spectre 13 behind in terms of battery life and value.
SimpliSafe review

2019 cadillac xt4 review feat

2019 Cadillac XT4 first drive review

The 2019 Cadillac XT4 is the American luxury brand’s first small SUV. Aimed at younger buyers, the XT4 is intended to be a nurturing product — something to introduce new customers and lead to future Cadillac sales. As such, it’s priced at an attractive $35,790 (including destination) and is offered with cutting-edge tech.
HP Chromebook x2 Review

HP Chromebook x2 Review

HP’s Chromebook x2 acts a lot like Microsoft’s Surface Book 2, with a well-equipped tablet that plugs into a keyboard base that’s heavy enough to keep the combination mostly stable. It’s a fast 2-in-1 that’s well-built and looks great, and it makes using Chrome OS a real pleasure. Is this premium Chromebook the best one you can buy?
Alienware 17 R5 review

Alienware 17 R5 review

With a 17-inch display and a chassis weighing in at nearly 10 pounds, the Alienware 17 R5 is truly massive. Between its weight and its impressive top-end hardware -- including an Intel Core i9 -- it’s certainly outfitted like a gaming desktop so let’s find out if it performs like one.
Sony UBP X700

Sony UBP-X700 review

If you're after the best possible picture for your 4K TV, you're still going to need an Ultra HD Blu-ray player. With a compact form factor, good remote, extremely easy setup, and support for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats, the Sony UBP-X700 may be just the ticket.
2019 Aston Martin DB11 Volante

2019 Aston Martin DB11 V8 Volante review

With the DB11 Volante, Aston Martin’s marriage of luxury and performance is perhaps at its best, offering hustle that doesn’t feel rushed and refinement with emotion still intact. Our Aston Martin DB11 V8 Volante review goes deep on this beautiful machine.
fifa 19

‘FIFA 19’ review

FIFA 19 is still a great way to play virtual soccer, but the changes made in this year’s game don’t push the series forward, and The Journey story mode stumbles in its final installment. Diehard soccer fans will find plenty to love across its variety of modes, however, including the always-great Ultimate Team.

Samsung SmartThings Wi-Fi review

Collaboration with Plume ensures Samsung SmartThings Wi-Fi is quicker than its predecessor, but a lack of wired connectivity and fragmented controls means it’s not for everyone. Find out more in our review.
Suunto 9 Smartwatch

Suunto 9 review

Adventurers and ultrarunners love Suunto's multi-sport GPS smartwatches because of their long battery life. The new Suunto 9 pushes the power envelope ever further delivering a mind-blowing 120 hours of continuous tracking. Does the watch live up to its hype? We went out into the wild to find out how the Suunto 9 stacks up against the competition.
2018 alfa romeo stelvio quadrifoglio review feat

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio Review

Alfa’s Romeo’s Ferrari-powered sport utility delivers hair-raising straight-line performance, admirable capability in the corners, and head-turning style, but comes up a bit short in a few key areas. We put the Stelvio Quadrifoglio through its paces on the twisties as well as the everyday commute.
Bonaverde Berlin Brewing System main front

Bonaverde Berlin brewing system review

The Bonaverde Berlin Brewing System lets you roast, grind, and brew coffee beans. But is the cup of Joe worth ditching your regular coffee maker?
1More Triple Driver Over-ear headphones

1More Triple Driver over-ear headphones review

1More has taken its penchant for multiple drivers into the big leagues with the Triple Driver Over-ear headphones, which offer stylized design and an equally stylized sound signature. Add in plenty of comfort and the Chinese brand has got another winner on its hands.
2018 lexus lc500 hero

2018 Lexus LC500 review

The LC500 sports car combines exotic looks, a raucous V8 engine, sumptuous interior, and responsive steering to make one of the most compelling Lexus-badged models ever. Though rival performance vehicles make be quicker and lighter, only the LC makes you feel like a rock star.
2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter first drive

2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter first drive review

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter boasts infotainment and driver-assist tech from Mercedes’ passenger cars. It’s not something normally seen on big vans, but it makes the Sprinter a much easier vehicle to use. Mercedes will build U.S.-market Sprinters at a new factory in South Carolina.
master and dynamic mw07 review feat

Master and Dynamic MW07 True Wireless In-Ear Headphones Review

Premium audio brand Master and Dynamic has taken aim at the more elegant (and higher-rolling) side of the true wireless headphone market with its new MW07 model, designed for those who are after gorgeous looks and the best possible sound. Are they worth the dough, or should you stick to more established options?
Sigma 105mm F1.4 Art lens Review

Sigma 105mm F1.4 Art review

The Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art is the best portrait lens we have used. While its size and weight takes getting used to, you get superb images in return for the effort.
2019 Lexus UX

2019 Lexus UX first drive review

New for 2019, the UX is one of the most important models Lexus has launched since its inception in 1989. It competes in the single most popular segment of the new car market. It attempts to beat Volvo and the Germans by placing a big focus on technology and connectivity. We get behind the wheel to see how it does.
Asus ZenBook Pro 15 with ScreenPad review

Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX580 with ScreenPad review

Asus packed some powerful components into the ZenBook Pro 15 UX580, including a Core i9 and a GTX 1050 Ti. But the ScreenPad is the obvious star of the show, a second screen built right into the touchpad. Is the cool-factor enough to set this 15-inch laptop apart from the crowd?
Samsung DV8750 review

Samsung DV8750 dryer review

Looking for a workhorse dryer than can handle heavy blankets with the same ease as a small load of delicates? The Samsung DV8750 could be the perfect fit, as long as you don’t expect your clothes to be completely wrinkle-free.
Samsung WF7500 review

Samsung WF7500 front-loading washer review

We’ve all forgotten to add a piece of clothing to a wash already in progress. This Samsung washing machine solves that problem with an easy open hatch on the front door. But how well does it clean your laundry?
NBA 2K19 Hands-on

‘NBA 2K19’ review

NBA 2K19 takes strides in many facets of the gameplay with the end result being an experience that harps on user skill and playing disciplined basketball. MyCareer also benefits in a few major ways to make the story mode better than ever.

‘Shadow of the Tomb Raider’ review

‘Shadow of the Tomb Raider’ understands what made the previous games adrenaline-pumping fun. Its world is filled with secrets, tombs, treasure, and hidden areas just waiting to be discovered. With wonderful performances from its cast and a tremendous final act, it’s a must-play.
Ecobee4 smart thermostat mounted near living room.

Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat hands-on review

With an excellent whole-home sensor system, an easy-to-use interface, and a simple app, the Ecobee4 is a solid choice for a smart thermostat. The fact that it's an Amazon Alexa speaker just sweetens the deal.
OnePlus 6T review

OnePlus 6T review

The biannual OnePlus launch has become so regular that we almost take it for granted, but does that mean we should be less excited about it than before? No. The OnePlus 6T is here, and although it shares many features with the OnePlus 6, there are some awesome upgrades to tempt you into buying one.
Acer Aspire 5 review hero

Acer Aspire 5 review

Acer’s updated Aspire 5 benefits greatly from Intel’s latest technology, including its 8th-gen processor and Optane memory. The Aspire 5 offers a lot of performance for not a lot of money, but its display and battery life betray its budget nature and detract from its overall value.
Skagen Falster review

Skagen Falster review

After six months, the Skagen Falster is still our favorite Wear OS smartwatch. It doesn't have a lot of features, and it doesn't have good battery life, but we're mesmerized with how it looks -- and can't keep it off our wrist. The Falster shows the importance of design in a smartwatch. Here's our review.
