Attaching a game controller to your phone while on the go can be a clunky, annoying production, and many mobile games can feel nonresponsive, awkward or just impossible when you’re chronically fatfingered.

Following in the philosophical footsteps of the Leica M10-D, Fujifilm’s taking the less-is-more approach for the next generation of its rangefinder-style mirrorless, the X-Pro3.

Microsoft’s recent Surface Laptop 3 updates to its Surface Laptop line fall into two camps.

If you love clicky, tactile keyboards — or frankly, are at all picky about the feel of a keyboard — chances are you can’t stand the quiet but shallow-travel, mushy keyboard on the Razer Blade 15 line of laptops.
