Buying Guide

I spent 6 weeks traveling between three cities with a dual-screen portable monitor strapped to my backpack on every flight. By the end, I had opened 47 browser tabs on the go, coded through two red-eye flights, and finished a 30-page client report from a café in Lisbon without ever touching my laptop screen alone. […]

I have been wearing and stress-testing fitness trackers for the better part of a decade, and I can tell you right now: the gap between the best fitness trackers of and the rest of the pack has never been wider. After 90 days of daily wear across 10 different wearables, hundreds of runs, dozens of

I have spent the last three months putting eight laptops through their paces with Cricut Maker 3, Cricut Explore Air 2, and full multi-layer vinyl projects in Cricut Design Space. After 90 days of cutting, designing, color-matching, and yes, a few frustrating Bluetooth dropouts, I can tell you exactly which machines actually keep up with

I’ve spent the last three months testing laptops side-by-side with working fashion designers, and one truth keeps coming up: a pretty spec sheet doesn’t mean a laptop can handle a real design workflow.

After spending the last 90 days running emulators on eight different mini PCs, I can tell you the gap between a unit that handles SNES flawlessly and one that runs Wii U at full speed is wider than most reviewers admit. Our team put each of these compact machines through PCSX2, Dolphin, RPCS3, Citra, and

I spent the last four weeks running real Proxmox and VMware workloads on eight compact machines to find the best mini PCs for virtual machines available right now. My goal was simple: identify which boxes can actually handle multiple simultaneous VMs without thermal throttling, while staying under 65W of power draw. After testing nested virtualization,

Choosing the best all-in-one computer for seniors is something I take personally. My mom turned 72 last spring, and after watching her squint at a tiny laptop screen during a family Zoom call, I spent the next three weeks testing ten all-in-one desktops side by side in our living room. I wanted one machine that
