[ad_1] Starting at $49,700 the Z4 returned in 2019 after a four-year hiatus. The 2020 model year vehicle ticks all the boxes driving-wise for a roadster. BMW sent us the M40i version of the vehicle which sports a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 382 horsepower and 369 pounds-foot of torque. The result is that […]

Google Pixelbook Go review: Function over form
[ad_1] In use While Google cut some corners in the design department, the Pixelbook Go is still among the more powerful Chromebooks out there. The base model pairs an eighth-generation Intel Core m3 processor with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of storage; the one I reviewed steps up to an i5 processor and 128GB of […]
Nintendo’s ‘Ring Fit Adventure’ hides grown-up workouts in a kids’ game
[ad_1] And you guys, he’s kind of the worst. (Test notes from Mat: “Ring is annoying and can fuck off.”) To be fair, this is a kid’s game — or at least, a game sanitized enough to merit a family-friendly ‘E’ rating. To my ears, Ring sounds like a generic cartoon character from any show […]
HTC Vive Cosmos review: Too late, too expensive
[ad_1] Once I worked through the software issues, the Vive Cosmos managed to deliver a solid high-end VR experience. In the shooter Raw Data, the high-res displays made the environments look crisper and more detailed than on the Vive. It was also a great test for the Cosmos’s tracking and motion controllers, since it involves […]
Alexa’s streaming box grows up
[ad_1] Since then, Amazon upgraded its Fire TV Cube software to support a wider array of voice commands, more streaming services and those aforementioned voice-messaging features. Along with that, it released an all-new Fire TV Cube, which promises to be faster and more powerful than before, and it now supports Dolby Vision and HDR+. It […]
Bigger, slightly better, still great
[ad_1] The competition It’s a fact of the industry that tablets just aren’t as big a deal as they used to be, but there are handful of alternatives to consider. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S5e is probably the 2019 iPad’s closest competitor, and it packs a beautiful, 10-inch Super AMOLED screen, a mid-range Snapdragon 670 chipset, […]
61 megapixels of pure camera power
[ad_1] Panasonic’s S1R got it first, but the A7R IV now has a 5.76 million dot OLED electronic viewfinder. The high resolution and reasonably fast 60 Hz refresh rate make it easy on the eyes, but the A7R IV will blackout during shooting, temporarily blocking your view, unlike the freshly announced A9 II. For the […]
More like a laptop than ever
[ad_1] Speaking of iPad screens, I’ve always hated how — unless you had a physical keyboard connected to it — iOS’s keyboard eats up a third of the screen. There’s a fix of sorts for that now in the form of an iPhone-sized floating keyboard you can toggle from the main one. Typing while holding […]
A necessary update after a rough start
[ad_1] With iOS 12 last year, Apple’s big theme was stability. It’s not like there were no new features, but the real draw was that older devices might run a little better. This time is, a little different. iOS 13 is heavier on the new additions, perhaps to the detriment of its overall stability. iOS […]
Galaxy Tab S6 review: Good notepad, bad notebook
[ad_1] Samsung also made the buttons a little deeper than before and added a function key so you can use it to trigger shortcuts that have been added to the top row. On the old keyboard, this row simply had numbers and symbols that you could trigger by pressing downshift. Now, you can also get […]
