Pool robots have come a long way. They scrub floors, climb walls, skim surfaces, and map your pool like a self-driving car navigates a highway. But every single one of them shares the same dirty secret: you still have to clean the cleaner. Every cycle ends the same way. You pull the robot out, pop

Most people stopped expecting Samsung to make an interesting laptop years ago. The Galaxy Book line has always been competent but forgettable, overshadowed by phones and tablets at every launch event.

The first generation of Snapdragon X processors proved that ARM chips could run Windows laptops without feeling like a compromise.

Most tripods try to do everything. Manfrotto tried that last year with the ONE Hybrid, a tripod built to handle both photo and video in one package. It worked. It also meant photographers were carrying features they didn’t need and paying for flexibility they didn’t need. The new Manfrotto ONE Photo Tripod cuts that problem

The retro gaming handheld market has a crowding problem. Every few weeks, another device shows up running the same MediaTek chip, the same emulators, and the same vaguely familiar industrial design. Most of them blur together, and that sameness has made it harder for anything to feel worth paying attention to. Price: $139.99 Where to

ARTICLE – The pen light category hasn’t exactly been a hotbed of innovation. Most options are cheap plastic tubes that live in a doctor’s coat pocket and do exactly one thing. Olight looked at that space and decided a pen light should actually be a pen, a flashlight, a laser pointer, and an emergency signal

ARTICLE – The smart home category spent years chasing convenience for people who didn’t really need it. Dim the lights from the couch, start a playlist without touching your phone, check who’s at the door while you’re upstairs. Nice features, but not exactly life-changing for most households.

Storage hasn’t had a genuine form factor shake-up in years. M.2 drives got faster, portable SSDs got slimmer, and microSD cards quietly hit their ceiling. Nobody was asking for an NVMe SSD the size of a SIM card, mostly because nobody thought it was possible. Biwin built one anyway, and it showed up at MWC
