[ad_1] For the average person looking to buy an electrified vehicle, Kia and Hyundai have become solid options. The Hyundai Kona EV is an outstanding crossover and the upcoming Kia Soul EV puts a lot of fun and storage space into a small package. But it’s the Kia Niro EV that bests them both. It’s […]

The 2019 Acura NSX is a supercar built for everyday auto nerds
[ad_1] In 2017, the automaker revived the supercar to much fanfare, mostly from Acura itself. Then in 2019, it made that updated car better. Actually, the software and hardware tweaks the engineers applied to the supercar made it magnificent. But nostalgia is a tough nut to crack. So for some, no matter what Acura does, […]
The best-sounding Beats headphones yet
[ad_1] When it comes to audio quality, I’m not going to mince words: These are the best-sounding Beats headphones yet. There is one caveat, but overall, the company has done well with the tuning on the Powerbeats Pro. The Studio 3 Wireless has noticeably less bass than most previous models, and the same is true […]
DJI Osmo Action review: A worthy GoPro rival
[ad_1] Let’s be clear: This might be DJI’s first foray into this exact space, but the company has been making cameras since at least the Phantom 2 Vision in 2013. Most of its drones come with one built in, and the Osmo series of handhelds has been quietly growing in popularity for a few years. […]
Just another tethered VR headset
[ad_1] To really put the Rift S through its paces, I spent time revisiting some of my favorite VR experiences from the Rift. First up was Superhot, which looked noticeably sharper than before, with much bolder colors. It’s a bit of an abstract game, but the Rift S still made me feel like I was […]
A full-frame camera that cuts too many corners
[ad_1] Thanks to the new processor, the EOS RP has a very decent eye- and face-tracking system (Canon calls it pupil detection) for a budget full-frame camera. It now works in continuous mode, rather than just single-point autofocus as before. Provided I stayed pretty close to my (human) subjects, I found it locked on to […]
Fitbit Versa Lite review: The basics aren’t enough
[ad_1] Design Externally, the Versa Lite is basically the Versa. The new watch is identical to the original, which looks a lot like a fat Apple Watch. My review unit has a white silicone strap with a silver case, which is pretty bland, although the one with a blue band and face is quite attractive. […]
A gaming desktop stuffed inside a laptop
[ad_1] Alienware’s elaborate cooling, which includes two large fans that suck fresh air from below and spit heat out of the rear vents, managed to keep the GPU under 83-degrees Celsius. You have plenty of control over the cooling profiles, so you can rev the fans up for longer play sessions and make them near […]
A perfect camera, except for its autofocus system
[ad_1] I wish it was smaller because I often need to lug gear around trade shows and on the streets. But the size has some advantages, and when you see the technology Panasonic packed in there, the extra pound or so is worth it. It has a weather-sealed body that feels very rugged and a […]
The Paperwhite gets a run for its money
[ad_1] The big news here is clearly that illuminated display. There was a time when even the premium Kindle meant reaching for the reading light (much as I loved my Kindle Keyboard, I also like reading at night). In fact, for about five years after the first one, all Kindle owners were consigned to squinting […]
