The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X isn't a new chip by any means, but it still offers a lot of power at a very good price. Now, the price has dropped to its lowest yet, coming in at $159. So, if you've been looking to build an AMD-based PC or are just trying to upgrade an older computer, now is a perfect time to pick up this chip.
The Apple Watch Ultra might be the best smartwatch Apple has to offer, but it’s not necessarily the best option for most buyers due to its sky-high price and massive size. Unless you’re an athlete or adventurer, you’ll be better served by the Apple Watch Series 8, which not only offers comprehensive health tracking tools but also carries a more palatable price tag. Another advantage of going with the Apple Watch Series 8 is the massive band and strap selection. While you can reuse an old band from an older Apple Watch, it's always nice to have different options to switch things up.
It was only recently that Microsoft introduced the Surface Pro 9, and sure enough, it's the best Windows tablet you can buy right now, on top of being one of the best Surface PCs on the market. Still, it's far from a perfect device. But as is typical in the tech world, we're always looking forward to the next thing. We've already got our sights on the Surface Pro 10, even if it's likely a whole year away.
The most exciting thing about a big Android update is being able to follow a pattern to get a taste of all the new features. Google's Android 12 update marked the biggest visual redesign of the operating system since Android 5 Lollipop thanks to Material You. The new design philosophy, along with an exhaustive list of new features, made Android 12 look and feel radically different from previous iterations. Android 13 then came along and doubled down on many of the same aesthetic choices. Now we're moving on to Android 14, and it's likely that there will be even more under-the-hood changes.
Our iPhone 14 vs Galaxy Z Flip 4 comparison pits Apple’s newest standard iPhone against Samsung’s latest clamshell.

The Google Pixel series has always been the darling of Android enthusiasts and smartphone camera geeks, but a combination of sub-par hardware and lack of global availability meant they were always niche devices, coming nowhere close to the commercial success or mainstream recognition of the iPhone.
Sony has been teasing the PlayStation VR2 since the beginning of the year, little by little sharing details and images of its next-generation virtual reality accessory. After what seemed like an eternity, today, we finally get a release date and a price for the device, and it definitely isn't going to be as cheap as the last generation's offering.
The iPhone 14 Pro is the star of the show in Apple's latest smartphone lineup. While the standard iPhone 14 is an incremental upgrade, the Pro model is packed with tons of exciting features and improvements, including the new pill-shaped notch that enables Dynamic Island, Always-On display, powerful A16 Bionic chip, and improved cameras. Starting at $999, the iPhone 14 Pro is certainly not a cheap phone. Sure, it has durable materials like its Ceramic Shield front, stainless steel frame, and Gorilla Glass, but an accidental drop on a hard surface can leave your phone's display cracked or its back scratched. That's why it's best to put a case on your shiny new iPhone 14 Pro as soon as you get it.
The HP EliteBook 865 G9 is one of the largest business laptops in HP's lineup, and one of its most premium.

HP has also brought its 5MP webcam to all of its premium laptops in 2022, including the EliteBook 865.

We reviewed the Surface Laptop 5 and found it to be a great premium laptop, but it's not without competition. A notable example is the Dell XPS 13 Plus, which is also one of the best laptops you can buy right now. It's a premium, thin laptop with great specs, just like the Surface Laptop 5. So, if you're looking for a new premium laptop, is the Surface Laptop 5 or the Dell XPS 13 Plus the better choice?
MSI makes some of the best gaming laptops around, so I was excited to check out the MSI Vector GP76.

October 26, 2012 marked a monumental date for Microsoft. When it came to Windows, everything changed in a way that we're still feeling the ramifications of today. That was the day that the company released its first PC, the Surface RT, and it was also the release date for Windows RT and Windows 8. A few months later, the Surface Pro arrived.

If you have a Steam Deck or are looking to pick one up, then you're probably familiar with how it's less of a handheld console and more of a small computer. It runs SteamOS, which is based on Arch Linux, and Valve hasn't locked down users' access You have full privileges to do whatever you want on the software front, and there's nothing stopping you from even putting Windows on it if you want. However, maybe you want to listen to music while you game. Thankfully, it's easy to install Spotify on the Steam Deck.

Intel really came back to the table in recent years with the 11th and then 12th Gen CPUs. And it continues with the 13th Gen Raptor Lake chips.
The iPhone 14 and OnePlus 10T make for an interesting comparison. The OnePlus 10T is one of the best affordable flagships in the U.S., offering a big display, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, crazy fast charging, and a rich software experience. In many ways, it's even better than its more expensive sibling OnePlus 10 Pro, packing a more powerful CPU, up to 16GB of RAM, and faster charging speeds.

Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 5 series brings a lot of improvements over the last year's models to improve the overall user experience. The Galaxy Watch 5 checks a lot of the right boxes to become what is arguably the best Wear OS smartwatch on the market right now.
