Harman Kardons sibling companies that are part of Harman International Industries release headphones quite often, but it has been years since H/K itself did. For CES 2020 the brand has prepared three models ranging from truly wireless to over year.
The Harman Kardon Fly TWS will sell for $150 and feature in-ear detection and touch controls. They are also sweat and rain resistant and last 5 hours…
Used to be that you’d have to hunch around coffee shops in your racing leathers to show off that, yeah, you ride a motorcycle, it’s pretty sweet. Thankfully those days have come to an end thanks to a collaboration between Lenovo and Ducati. The unlikely pair has…
Lenovo's Ideapad Duet Chromebook is a tiny 2-in-1 for $279
January 6, 2020
Lenovo’s awkwardly-named Ideapad Duet Chromebook is a bit of a throwback. For a long time, most Chrome OS devices were inexpensive and small, but in recent years they’ve gotten more expensive as Google and other manufacturers have tried to pit them directly…
When Lenovo announced its Project Limitless laptop would be the world’s first 5G PC at Computex 2019, the company was indeed ahead of its competition. Today at CES 2020 though, Lenovo has fallen slightly behind. HP and Dell have both already announced 5G-capable PCs that not only support the latest connectivity standards, but look good, to boot.

Like many of us, you probably have hundreds and thousands of photos on your phone or the cloud, never to be seen again. Sure, you could print and hang them, but if you ever want to change photos, that can be a pain. A smart display can double as a digital photo frame, but…
Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus is a laptop that doubles as a Kindle
January 6, 2020
It wouldn’t be CES if Lenovo didn’t have a bevy of new laptops to announce, but I can’t say we saw the company’s new ThinkBook Plus coming. On one level, it’s pretty prosaic — it’s available with a 13.3-inch matte, full HD IPS…
Alcatel 3L, 1S, 1V and 1B go official
January 6, 2020
An unfortunate consequence of TCL’s approach to smartphone manufacturing is a rather confusing portfolio. The company just unveiled Alcatel 3L, 1S, 1V and 1B even though we have seen all of these model numbers in the past except the 1B. Either way they are all new phones even if they reuse the names of the company’s old offerings.
We start with the Alcatel 3L. Like its name suggests…
At CES 2020, Alcatel has launched four new Android smartphones designed for emerging markets with the Alcatel 1S, 1V, 1B, and 3L. Here’s what you need to know.
Starting with the Alcatel 3L, the focus in on the camera…

Audi’s ‘empathetic’ AI:Me is about relaxing while commuting
January 6, 2020
Commuting is the worst part of driving. It’s a stress-inducing piece of hell that many of us endure on a daily basis. Audi aims to eliminate that stress with a tiny self-driving car that takes you on a virtual journey while you’re sitting in gridlock.
The AI:Me (pronounced Amy) is the automaker’s “empathetic mobility partner.” With level-4 abilities, the…
