[ad_1] In use Every time I write about a convertible Chromebook, I have to preface things by saying that I find very little utility in flipping a relatively large and heavy device around into tablet mode, so how well that works has little bearing on my evaluation. That said, the Chromebook Flip C436 has a […]

Weber SmokeFire review: An intriguing work-in-progress
[ad_1] The SmokeFire grills run on Weber Connect, which is built on JuneOS — the same software that powers June’s smart ovens. It can monitor the grill and internal food temperatures to guide your cooks. Like the Smart Grilling Hub, Weber Connect will lead you through cooking a variety of meat and seafood, from prepping […]
ASUS Zephyrus G14 review: Ultraportable gaming done right
[ad_1] The Zephyrus G14’s keyboard did a great job of keeping up with my furious shooter spree, thanks to excellent feedback and satisfying key depth. I found it a bit more frustrating to use for productivity work, though. While I can type on it well enough, the keycaps always felt a bit too small for […]
LG V60 5G ThinQ review: A compromised phone I like anyway
[ad_1] In fairness, there are still plenty of distinctly-LG touches here, like a dedicated Google Assistant key under the V60’s volume buttons, and a proper headphone jack next to its USB-C port. If you need proof that LG isn’t playing the same flagship game as everyone else, though, just take a good look at the […]
Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub review: Backyard grillmaster training
[ad_1] The hardware is nice, but the real star here is the Weber Connect app. It’s the software that runs on JuneOS, which powers June’s smart ovens. Weber Connect functions in a similar manner: It uses a combination of internal food temperature and grill temperature to guide your cooking process. You can select from a […]
Dell XPS 13 review (2020): Tweaked to near-perfection
[ad_1] So what’s different? The most obvious upgrade is that Dell has completely gotten rid of the XPS 13’s lower screen bezel. Now, the display nearly touches the edge of the keyboard area, even further than the XPS 13 2-in-1. That effectively gives the computer a slightly taller 13.4-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. […]
Apple MacBook Air review (2020): A return to form
[ad_1] Coming from my work computer, which has a quad-core Core i7 chip and 16GB of RAM, I didn’t notice a significant drop in performance for most tasks. Things like Slack, Spotify, browsing, email, Messages, Notes all work smoothly on the Air; no Core i7 chip needed. Occasionally, there were small little annoyances. Like when […]
Apple iPad Pro 12.9 review: The rest is yet to come
[ad_1] More like a laptop than ever When I reviewed the third-generation iPad a year and change ago, I half-jokingly wrote this: “I know there’s zero chance of Apple listening to me, but I have to try. Hey, guys, can you please figure out how to make a trackpad work on this thing? I work […]
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 review: Pricey and impressive
[ad_1] Inside the Smart Control app, you can actually choose to pause the audio when you activate Transparent Hearing or keep the music going. The latter is something I used while walking down the street, for example. The software also allows you to disable features like smart pause when you take an earbud out of […]
Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20+ review: Smaller is better
[ad_1] Performance The cameras are perhaps the biggest difference between the S20 Ultra and the S20 and S20+. All three phones pack the same Snapdragon 865 processor with 12GB of RAM. There is an upgraded Ultra with 16GB, but that’s kinda overkill when laptops usually come with between 8 and 16GB of RAM. As I […]
