The Nebula X1S is a complete home cinema system in one box, with a 6,000 ANSI lumen RGB laser projector, two wireless satellite speakers, and a 100-inch screen. I ran it in my living room, basement, and patio to see if one box can replace a full custom setup.
As much as I love foldables, the tall form factor was never my thing, but with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Samsung finally made it wide. I bought one for nearly $2,000 and used it for a couple of weeks.
The new Hume Band 2.0 offers up to 14 days of battery, expanded AI-powered insights, and a free core experience with no subscription needed. I wore it for a couple of weeks to see how it stacks up against Whoop, Oura, Fitbit, and Apple Watch.
MOVA is calling the new V70 Ultra Complete a flagship killer, with 42,000Pa suction, a mop that extends 6.7 inches past the body, and a bagless dock that goes up to 100 days between emptyings. I lived with it for a few weeks in a house with a cat, a dog, and thick carpets.
Proper floor cleaning usually takes a vacuum, a wet-dry vac, and a steam mop. The new Dreame Aero Ultra Steam combines 392°F steam, hot water mopping, and foam wash in one slim machine, so I put it through everything in my house.
This 3.5-pound projector throws a native 4K image up to 200 inches with Google TV built in and 120Hz gaming. I put the new XGIMI Elfin Flip 4K to the test.
These glasses weigh only 63 grams but pack Micro-OLED displays that look about as crisp as a 4K monitor. I tested the TOZO VIZO Z1 Pro’s 160-inch virtual screen for movies, gaming, travel, and productivity.
It’s been about 3 months since I started using the ECOVACS DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI in my house, and the honeymoon phase is definitely over. At this point it’s cleaned over 26,000 square feet, so this is about how I’m still using it 3 months later.
This giant box from HBADA showed up, and for the past week the HBADA X7 has basically lived under my main editing desk. It’s got AI lumbar tracking, a real massage function with heat, and a ventilated seat with fans built in.
Smart rings are one of my favorite ways to track my health without thinking about charging, so I spent 8 days with the new RingConn Gen 3 to see what’s actually new. Gen 3 brings up to 11 to 14 days of battery, vibration alerts, and new Vascular Trends — all with no subscription required.
I’ve tested a lot of robot vacuums and random little home robots over the years, but this is the first time I’ve ever tested a robot made specifically for a pool. The Aiper Scuba V3 brings AI vision, AI Patrol cleaning, and waterline cleaning to your pool routine.
If you’re shopping for a high-end robot vacuum and mop right now, you’ve almost certainly run into ECOVACS and Dreame. So I put the brand-new ECOVACS DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI head-to-head with the Dreame L40s Ultra to see where the real trade-offs are.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
