I have a strict only-mechanical policy when it comes to keyboards. I love the feel of mechanical switches under my fingers when I’m typing and gaming, and I rely on the precise travel and solid contact the keys make as they actuate. If you’ve never used anything but a mushy membrane-style keyboard before, you owe …

At today’s Spring Loaded event, Apple’s newest iPad Pro was arguably the star of the show, possibly outshining the new M1-equipped iMac. The new iPad has its own M1 chip, 5G connectivity, an all-new Liquid Retina XDR screen and other crazy features like Center Stage, a feature that pans and zooms the camera to keep you front and center no …

Update: Sorry, folks, but the seller has expired the promo code.  Shortly after the world began to social distance last this year, I discovered that my laptop didn’t even come with a webcam. It wasn’t a feature I had cared about until that moment. The bad news is that, even if your laptop does have a webcam, chances are it’s …

Today, let’s get our Boy/Girl Scout on and “be prepared.” If you own a car, you should probably own a portable air compressor in case of low or flat tires. My old one was a hassle because you had to add air, check the pressure with a separate gauge, add air again, and on and on. Hassle city. Ah, but …

Projector tech is getting good. I continue to be amazed at the big-screen power that comes from a device not much larger than a box of Pop-Tarts. Xgimi’s Mogo and Halo models, for example, deliver native 1080p resolution, baked-in Android TV, Harman/Kardon speakers and hours of battery-backed play time. And right now, three of them are on sale. I recently …

If you’ve been trying to get your hands on the PlayStation 5 for months — but still miserably failing — you’re not alone. Even though Sony launched the new console five months ago, it’s still extremely hard for anyone to get their hands one. The pandemic and the global chip shortage have definitely contributed to this lack of inventory, but demand for the PS5 has …

Amazfit is one of those gadget success stories I can really get behind. The brand popped onto the scene a few years ago with the Amazfit Bip, an Apple Watch look-alike that offered solid performance for a crazy-low price. And it turned out not to be a fluke; Amazfit has continued to churn out quality wearables at value prices, becoming …

We love the iMac‘s all-in-one design, solid performance and attention to detail as much as the next website, but you’ll spend $1,100 minimum just to get out the door with a bare-bones off-the-shelf iMac. Thankfully, you can do a lot better with a refurbished model. You might not save a ton at Apple’s own Certified Refurbished store, but there are …

When Sonos moved to its new S2 app last year, it created some havoc for owners of legacy Sonos devices that aren’t compatible with the new app, bifurcating users’ multiroom setups. As a small consolation, Sonos offered up an olive branch in the form of an upgrade program that allowed you to get up to 30% off a new Sonos speaker, …

The Google Pixel Buds 2 are a significant improvement over the original Buds. These are true wireless, not just connected to each other. They sound better, fit better and are overall among the best premium true wireless earbuds. They’re usually priced at $179, but right now you can get the Google Pixel Buds for just $149 — a $30 savings …
