NVIDIA RTX 4080 review: A (slightly) more practical 4K gaming titan

December 13, 2022
Sure, we all want NVIDIA’s RTX 4090, but it’s tough to stomach its $1,599 starting price (if you can even find it at that price) or its massive power demands. That leaves impatient PC gamers with only one other new NVIDIA option this year: the $1,199 RTX 4080 with 16GB of VRAM. While $400 isn’t exactly a huge discount in the world of high-end PC gaming (certainly not as…

NVIDIA RTX 4090 review: Unholy power

December 13, 2022
How do you go about reviewing something like NVIDIA’s RTX 4090? Just looking at its specs alone, it’s obviously the fastest consumer GPU we’ve ever seen. So sure, I can tell you that I can play just about anything in 4K with ray tracing and every graphical…

Intel Arc A750 and A770 review: Trouncing NVIDIA and AMD on mid-range GPU value

December 13, 2022
Not too long ago, the notion of Intel getting into the world of discrete graphics cards seemed ludicrous. Intel?! The same company that killed its last major GPU project in 2009 and spent the 2010s focusing on weak integrated graphics? The same one that turned to AMD when it needed a decent GPU to sit alongside its CPU for enthusiast laptops?  But after tempting Raja Koduri away from AMD, the…

Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max review: Just different enough

December 13, 2022
For years, Apple has been the lone holdout in a sea of all-screen phones with punch-hole cutouts that house selfie cameras. The black rectangle that sat at the top of its flagships since the iPhone X has drawn some criticism, but mostly ambivalence. Apple has kept it around…

Apple iPhone 14 review: Not an upgrade year for most

December 13, 2022
The iPhone 14 series is at once controversial and underwhelming. With its latest phones, Apple chose to ditch the physical SIM card slot but continued to avoid adopting USB-C, and on the non-Pro models there’s still the notch. At the same time, the iPhone 14 looks nearly identical to its predecessor — at least on the outside. It has slightly improved cameras, a new high-g accelerometer for…

Galaxy Buds 2 Pro review: Big sound in a tiny package

December 13, 2022
At this point, Samsung has a lot of experience making true wireless earbuds. While the company flexed its design muscle early with the Galaxy Buds line, it hasn’t always nailed the details. It rebounded quickly with its second installment, the Galaxy Buds+, and since then…

Galaxy Z Flip 4 review: The foldable phone I’ve been waiting for

December 13, 2022
I hate to admit it, but I might have a new favorite phone. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 4 is the latest version of the company’s smaller foldable and with this generation, the company has addressed most of our problems with the previous model. It’s delivered longer battery life, increased durability and a slightly more useful external display. With the same $1,000 starting price as before, the Z…
