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. It comes with a big 16:10 display, a premium aluminum design, and the latest AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors, which deliver very good performance. HP has also brought its 5MP webcam to all of its premium laptops in 2022, including the EliteBook 865.
The Surface Laptop 5 is Microsoft's latest flagship laptop, packing 12th-generation Intel Core processors and Thunderbolt 4 support for the first time in the lineup. 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. This 17-inch gaming laptop has powerful specs, including the highest-end mobile chip in Intel's 12th-generation lineup, the Intel Core i9-12900HK, Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB solid-state drive (SSD).
