In sister site Tom’s Guide’s Bose QC 35 II review, they were impressed by the headphones’ excellent active noise-cancellation and great audio quality. They gave the Bose QC 35 IIs a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and awarded them Editor’s Choice for their lightweight design and 22-hour battery life. Bose set the bar high when it comes to noise-cancellation technology. They use strategically placed microphones and proprietary algorithms to block out the world around you....

Naturally, Lenovo’s do-it-all laptop isn’t cheap and starts at a dizzying $1,859. However, the PC manufacturer is currently taking some bite out of its price tag and taking 30 percent off its entire ThinkPad X1 Extreme lineup via coupon code “THINKJANSALE”. After coupon, the least-expensive ThinkPad X1 Extreme starts at $1,301.30, which is a tremendous deal when you look at what you get. After coupon, configurations are priced as follows:...

It’s one of the best headphone deals we’ve seen this season. AirPods are among the best wireless headphones out there and for good reason. These buds are comfortable, deliver good sound, and have twice the talk time of the 1st-Gen AirPods. The AirPods 2 are powered by Apple’s latest H1 chip, the same one found in the AirPods Pro. This makes for fast and convenient Bluetooth pairing, especially to iPhones....

The Echo Show 8 features an 8-inch (1280 x 800) touch screen, dual speakers and a built-in microphone. Its 13MP camera with audio-framing keeps you centered during video calls with family and friends. The Echo Show 8 is a solid buy if you’re looking for an Alexa-enabled smart home device. 

This is one of the best headphone deals we’ve seen outside of Black Friday. Powerbeats Pro deal Powerbeats Pro deal Apple’s proprietary Beats Powerbeats Pro earphones are the best headphones for working out. They offer great sound, a built-in mic, and up to 9 hours of battery life (25 with charging case). Runners and gym rats will benefit from the Powerbeats Pro’s wrap-around-the-ear secure fit and water-and-sweat resistance. Just like the AirPods Pro, the Powerbeats Pro features Apple’s H1 chip....

The development team went into detail on their blog (opens in new tab) to talk about how it works and what precautions they’re taking to make everything a level playing field or at least, as level as possible, as implementing cross-play isn’t an exact science.

In addition to the new Apple laptop announcements, the Apple Store also kicked off its Back-to-School promo (opens in new tab). New for 2018 is the inclusion of Apple’s new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops with Touch Bar and Touch ID. However, we strongly suggest you wait a few days — if you can — for a better sale from Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s because Apple’s 2018 Back-to-School sale is very similar to last year’s promo: buy a Mac or iPad Pro and get a free pair of Beats headphones....

It’s unclear if e-ink’s EPD will be used as a smaller cover display on a foldable iPhone or as a full second screen. Kuo previously predicted the Cupertino tech giant’s first foldable product will launch in 2025 “at the earliest”, stating we may not be seeing a foldable iPhone, but rather a foldable iPad or combination of the two popular devices. This could be similar in size to the 8....

While not infallible, Gurman has an excellent reputation for predicting upcoming Apple releases. He stated, “I’m told Apple completed work on it months ago, and the device was due to launch soon after last year’s MacBook Pro.” He doesn’t elaborate on this so we’re left to wonder why it didn’t make an appearance alongside or shortly after the MacBook Pro 14 and 16-inch? Was it due to supply chain issues that have befallen the tech industry during the Covid-19 pandemic?...

Patently Apple notes that the company has updated a 2013 patent that shows a device with a flexible hinge that would let the laptop be made of one solid piece of metal that the patent describes as a “Living Hinge.” “An enclosure for a laptop may be created from a rigid material having a flexible portion defined around approximately a midpoint of the material,” the patent reads. “The flexible portion may allow the rigid material to be folded in half and thus acts as a laptop clamshell....

It packs a 15.6-inch 1080p display, 2.1GHz Core i3-8145U dual-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD.

The ZenBook 14 UX431 shares a number of features with its pricier sibling, the ZenBook 14 UX433....

For a pricier $2,499, the Zephyrus G15 offers amazing performance from its AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. It even boasts a similarly long-lasting battery life, a clicky keyboard, a 15.6-inch, 1440p display and a set of powerful speakers wrapped up in an even more elegant Moonlight White design. However, the Zephyrus G15 drops the ball on the display. Yes, its display is sharper and smoother, but it’s less colorful and duller than the one on the Zephyrus G14, which is a mid-range gaming laptop....

The best touchscreen laptops also unshackle you from the confines of your keyboard and touchpad, allowing you to interact with their immersive, interactive displays. Woo-hoo for freedom! They add a extra layer of fun that their non-touchscreen counterparts can’t offer, which can be activated by hand gestures, fingers and styli (yes, styli is plural for stylus). Traditional laptops with touchscreens are great, but if you really want the full benefits of touch support, buy one of the best 2-in-1 laptops....

This model features powerful audio technologies such as 10mm drivers, Mimi Sound Personalization, and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive codec support, along with active noise cancellation (ANC) and Alexa integration. Only a handful of the rivals outperform its noise reduction. The sound quality is also compelling. However, the Free Byrd requires effort on the user’s end to tweak the soundstage to satisfaction, and the bulky design isn’t for everyone. Read our full review of the Beyerdynamic Free Byrd to get the full breakdown....
