I upgraded from my original AirPods Max to the new AirPods Max 2, and honestly, they’re mostly a refresh with the H2 chip inside. So I put them up against my AirPods Pro 3 to see if $300 more for over-ears is really worth it.
iPad Air 13" vs 11": Which Size Should You Actually Buy?
Picking between the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air M4 is more than a $200 decision — it changes how you actually use the thing. I put them side by side to see which size you should actually buy.
I Ditched My Smartwatch for This… (Hume Health Band)
Most fitness trackers just count steps, so I swapped my smartwatch for the screenless Hume Health Band for a few weeks to see if longevity tracking is actually more useful. Instead of streaks, it looks at your metabolic health and how your habits shape your biological age.
These AR Glasses Project a 150-Inch Private Screen!
I’ve been waiting for the smart glasses future to finally get real, and the INMO Air 3 is the closest I’ve seen yet. These are the world’s first all-in-one AR glasses with a 1080p full-color waveguide display — no phone tethering, no cables, no external battery pack.
Neo vs iPad Air! Budget Tablet or Laptop?
Apple dropped two confusingly good budget machines at once: the $599 MacBook Neo and the $649 iPad Air M4. I spent a week treating each as my only computer to see which one you should actually buy.
MacBook Neo: All Colors In-Depth Comparison! Which is Best?
All four MacBook Neo colors in one place — indigo, blush, citrus, and silver — so you can actually pick. Same $599 machine ($499 education): 13-inch, 2.7 lb all-aluminum, and each color has a different personality.
MacBook Neo Silver White Unboxing & First Impressions!
Last in my MacBook Neo color unboxings: silver white — Apple’s cleanest, most minimal Neo. At $599 ($499 with education), it’s the same 2.7 lb aluminum machine with a full white keyboard that looks incredible against silver.
MacBook Neo Citrus Green: Apple's Most Polarizing Color Yet
Today I’m unboxing Apple’s MacBook Neo in citrus green — the quirkiest, most polarizing color in the lineup. At $599 ($499 with education), this all-aluminum 2.7 lb notebook is smaller than a MacBook Air and sits right between lemon and lime.
MacBook Neo Indigo Blue Unboxing & First Impressions!
Next up: the MacBook Neo in indigo blue — and after the blush pink unboxing, this cobalt-leaning blue might be my favorite of the bunch. Same story: if you’re torn between an iPad and a Neo, I’d take the Neo unless you really need Apple Pencil.
MacBook Neo Blush Pink Unboxing & First Impressions!
Today I’m unboxing Apple’s MacBook Neo in blush pink — Apple’s first completely new laptop line since the MacBook Air in 2008. At $599 ($499 with education), this isn’t a toy: all-aluminum, smaller than an Air at 2.7 lb, and a trackpad that’s clickable in every corner.
Cozyla Calendar+ 2 Review: The Best Digital Calendar for 2026?
If you have a family, managing everyone’s schedule can feel like a full-time job — school, sports, appointments, chores, and “what’s for dinner” every night. I spent time with the Cozyla Calendar+ 2 (32-inch wall-mount edition) to see if one big touchscreen command center can actually get the whole house on the same page.
Galaxy S26 Ultra Black Unboxing & First Impressions! Worth the Upgrade?
This right here is the brand new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in black — and the hardware Samsung baked into the display this year is aimed at how we actually use phones in public. The standout is a built-in customizable privacy display, plus a slightly trimmer, more comfortable body than last year’s Ultra.
Finally! A Robot Vacuum That Actually Cleans Your Floors! ECOVACS DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI Review
Robot vacuums used to get stuck on rugs, bump every chair leg, and smear dirt instead of cleaning it — big promises, soft results. I ran the ECOVACS DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI to see if flagship-style scrubbing, obstacle avoidance, and a real Omni station finally make the hands-free home feel true in a busy house.
AI Just Changed Tennis Forever... Pongbot Pace S Pro Review!
If you’ve plateaued in tennis, you know the problem: no hitting partner, or a partner at a totally different level — and classic ball machines just fire metronome feeds that teach you to plant, not move. I took the Pongbot Pace S Pro onto the court to see how ultra-wideband tracking and adaptive feeds feel like a tireless hitting partner.
Stop Buying New iPads.
I’ve been daily-driving the same M1 iPad Pro for almost five years — editing, Apple Pencil work, movies, docs, even App Store games — and it still never feels like it’s begging for a replacement. Yearly tablet upgrades look tempting, but for real tablet use the M1 leap aged so well that buying this year’s slightly refreshed iPad rarely makes sense.
ROG Xbox Ally: This Is NOT an Xbox Experience!
I tested the ROG Xbox Ally expecting something close to a portable Xbox — Game Pass vibes, quick sessions, console polish. What you actually get is a Windows handheld with an Xbox-styled front end: great speakers and solid ergonomics, but enough friction that it doesn’t feel like a true Xbox console replacement.
I Finally Upgraded My M1 MacBook Pro! Here’s My New Desk Setup!
Nearly five years on an M1 MacBook Pro was a personal record — then RAM ceilings finally pushed me to jump to an M4 Max 14-inch. I broke down why I didn’t wait for M5, the silver unboxing, my full Vernal desk refresh, and the config I actually bought: 36GB unified memory, nano-texture display, and 2TB SSD.
The Hidden Gem of Earbuds? TOZO Golden X1 Review!
I’ve been daily-driving the TOZO Golden X1 earbuds for a week — gym, editing, errands, commute — and they punch way above the “budget brand” stereotype. Hybrid dual drivers, LDAC, hybrid ANC, multi-point, customizable EQ, and a surprisingly premium fit with six tip sizes and IPX6.
Apple Vision Pro M5 as a Desk Setup: Honest Answer After 1 Week
Can Apple Vision Pro M5 replace a traditional desk? After a week bouncing between a messy monitor-and-cable setup and just a MacBook plus Vision Pro, I wanted an honest answer — virtual displays anywhere, M5 vs M2 gains, color/sharpness limits, fatigue, and whether “desk anywhere” beats a Studio Display routine.
iPhone 17 Pro ULTIMATE Camera Upgrade!
The iPhone 17 Pro already has one of the best phone cameras out there — triple lenses, strong color science, ProRAW — but physics still limits how much “real camera” look you can squeeze from tiny glass. I put Reeflex G-Series lenses and filters on the 17 Pro to see how far magnetic pro glass can push depth, compression, and cinematic blur.
