The true benefits are deceptively simple: Telling time and receiving notifications from your phone. Once you get accustomed to having those …

Apple lowered the price of the Watch Series 3 to $199 back in September — and it remained there for most of the holiday shopping season. A few retailers dropped it even further around Black Friday, including Walmart, which advertised a price of $129 for the 38mm model and $159 for the 42mm version.  See it at Amazon You can get it …

Google’s new flagship phone, the Pixel 4, has arrived, and with it a decidedly flagship price tag: $799 — and up. The larger Pixel 4 XL is even flagshippier at $899 and up.

The Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are official — and officially expensive. The former starts at $799, the latter at $899. That’s no surprise; the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL were priced exactly the same when they made their debut last year. I don’t know about you, but I’d have a hard time scrounging up that kind …

If you’re anything like me, you’d love to get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy Fold — but you wouldn’t (or couldn’t) pay $2,000 for the privilege.

Mobile phones are all screen, so it makes sense to get the best damn screen money can buy. Believe it or not, that screen may not come from Apple or Samsung; many would say it’s found on the Razer Phone. Though a bit long in the tooth (it debuted in December 2017), its 120Hz 5.7-inch screen, spectacular speakers and game-friendly …

For example, if you have an office desktop that houses files and apps you need while traveling or working from home, a remote-access system can be invaluable.
