Amazon’s Kindle Scribe Colorsoft won’t replace your notebook — or your Kindle

This is a great device for a certain kind of notetaker. Otherwise, a regular e-reader or tablet will do.

This $1,500 robot cooks dinner while I work

Posha uses AI and a motorized arm to cook your dinner autonomously. It’s impressive but expensive, and raises all the usual concerns about connected kitchen appliances.

A first look at Google’s Project Aura glasses built with Xreal

It’s kinda like a pair of chunky sunglasses that runs Android apps.

My friend who’s never flown a drone had a blast with the Antigravity A1.

I don’t have a full review of this awesome drone today, but I can’t get over how easy it is to fly (once you power everything on)! I’ve updated my story with some pros, cons, a few key specs, pricing and price comparisons, and impressions from other reviewers now that the embargo has lifted.

So, you want a robot vacuum.

You’re in luck. I just published a big update to my robot vacuum buying guide following months of testing dozens of new bots. Plus, this week is the best time of year to buy a floor-cleaning machine, as they’re seeing major discounts ahead of Black Friday. (Well, all except my top pick!).

Framework’s franken-laptop is back with big chip upgrades and familiar frustrations

Slapping an RTX 5070 onto your laptop is a big deal. It’s other parts of the Laptop 16 that falter.

Steam Frame vs. Meta Quest 3.

I brought our Quest 3 to Valve’s offices just in case we’d be seeing the Steam Frame, formerly known as Deckard — and it paid off! I didn’t have time to directly compare optics, but I’d say comfort is superior. It’s noticeably smaller, with controllers that are bigger.
