I’ve corrected it. Our EIC actually has one of these, and I personally have been following it for a while. Wires got crossed and the right people weren’t contacted to proofread this. Our bad. Read more

Hey there! The Razer Edge is essentially just an Android tablet that comes with a Kishi. If I weren’t being charitable, I could say that the Edge is just an Android phone that can’t make calls. So to get an idea of gaming performance, it’s fair to compare how it runs mobile games vs another mobile device. To really… Read more

I mention that later in the review, though I think it’s probably powerful enough to be a Steam Deck replacement for some, depending on their needs (i.e. if you mostly just emulate stuff). Meanwhile, I could see someone owning both an Anbernic RG35XX in addition to a Steam Deck pretty easily, given its price and size. Read more

Sure. Why not. I’ll take credit for that.

(This was submitted as a slideshow but I decided it didn’t need to be one and didn’t think to undo the slideshow formatting in Kinja when I edited. Will fix now.) Read more

Apologies for that. It’s been corrected. Read more

Looks like this comment somehow got posted thrice, so I’m going to reply to this one. There’s actually a GPD Win 4! Plus the GPD Max line, and a whole bunch of other models. I’m currently working on getting a review unit in for the 4. It’s got a sliding keyboard like an original Droid phone and a similar form factor… Read more

Apple has been promoting its gaming chops plenty lately, with native ports of games like Resident Evil Village and The Medium coming to Apple Silicon. It’s a big part of our review for the most recent MacBook Pro, but you’re right, Macs are still not ideal to buy as gaming laptops.

Hence why we’re happy to point out… Read more

Razer sells itself as a sort of Apple for gamers, and it’s clear what it’s going for with this design. Of course it’s not going to be the same experience as a MacBook, but it’s thinner, lighter (relative to other desktop replacement gaming laptops), has a standard chiclet keyboard, and has a more subdued exterior. You…

I’ve corrected the resolution in the article, but I do want to point out that we did mention the brightness. We also tested the battery on the Chromebook at 200 nits, rather than using its max brightness. Read more

Those are great picks. I also want to chime in with our best Steam Deck alternatives list, which has some stuff that might fit your needs depending on your budget, like the Ayn Odin.

Hehe, uh... you saw nothing.

OK, Kinja is futzing up the formatting on this quote. It looks fine in the text editor, but not after I hit publish. Here’s a screenshot:

Glad we could figure it out!

Also, apologies for that typos in the quote, dunno what happened but Kinja won’t let me edit it now. Read more

You can’t use Mario Kart Live cars for it, unfortunately.

I can’t speak to the future of the product, but it’s worth pointing out that Mattel owns Hot Wheels, not Hasbro. Read more

Hey there! I edit the reviews that come onto the site. Unfortunately, we published this review before this news came to our attention. I’ve added the following note to the top of the review:

That’s very fair. If you’re not already bought into an M-series chip, this is currently the M-series laptop to get, assuming the Air doesn’t meet your needs. However, I do think we can expect next year to have quite a few additional features (OLED, touchscreens), so unless your need for extra power is too dire, I’d… Read more

Apple’s given up on trying to seriously compete with Microsoft and Google in those spaces. Office has been the go-to worksuite on Mac since before Chrome was a thing, and Chrome itself came to Mac very shortly after it initially came out. Read more

I agree that that’s the selling point, aside from the ability to personalize volume per listener. Still, I think my reviewer has a point that, at this price, the buds would ideally have strong audio to accompany their vocal clarity options. Especially given that adding a dedicated center channel speaker can already hel… Read more

Spotify Car Thing. Sadly discontinued, else we would have included it. Read more
