The 13-inch MacBook Pro is back. But you might not see much of a difference: the 2020 model sticks to the already established design format. It’s notthe anticipated 14-inch rework- which had largely been expected, as an echo of thelarger-scale 16-inch version (which saw the end of the 15-inch model). What the 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro does bring to the stable is the all-new Magic Keyboard. That’s an important addition, the hope being to put to rest any issues with its older “sticky” Butterfly mechanism....

Sony VAIO X Teardown Reveals Huge Engineering Ingenuity While we always enjoy the post-launch teardown photosets that spring up following a particularly noteworthy piece of hardware, sometimes we wish there was an engineer to hand to tell us whether what we’re looking at really is all that impressive. TechOn did just that with Sony’s indecently-skinnyVAIO X, in a seven parthands-on and teardownthat pits an unnamed engineer – who, from the sound of it, works for a rival OEM – against Sony’s ingenuity....

Wonderis finally almost upon us, and it’s looking like it could be a pretty meaningful update to the decades-old formula.

Wonder Mario reinvented...

The Best Soundbars Of 2022 Adding a soundbar to your TV setup is one of the best quality-of-life improvements you can make to your entertainment watching.

It is time, however, to give some new heroes a spotlight with their own game....

As I played three hours of a preview build forThe Crew Motorfest, I felt that I’d experienced most of what it had to offer before. Ubisoft Ivory Tower’s latest offering is a fully competent racing game experience set across the Hawaiian island of O’ahu. It allows players to transform into a plane or boat and then explore an open world with those, which is something other open-world racers don’t offer. But outside of that, The Crew series seems to have forsaken other parts of its identity to instead chase a setting, premise, and even game mechanics that feel derivative of the genre’s current crown jewel:Forza Horizon 5....

Aim assist has been the main talking point in the The Finals community since day one. While some players praised it for tipping the scales in the controller players' favor, others claimed that it gave them an unfair advantage over keyboard & mouse users in crossplay matches.
