"This is a very well-built aluminum laptop. It's not rare in the laptop space... What is rare is when you have something that's five or six hundred bucks that is built like this."

"it's a one-hand openable hinge... a onehand openable hinge that stays open, like that doesn't just like wobble around as you lift it up, this is quite difficult to do and is often a sign of really good engineering."

"It's a great screen... it's one of the best screens I've seen in that $500 or $600 range. Arguably the best."

"it doesn't cover the full P3 color space."

"graphically demanding stuff is just going to eat dirt on this laptop."

"the biggest concern is the 8 GB of RAM and you cannot configure it with more... with 8 gigs, I think in 5 years time, this will feel a little slower than you'd like."

"This is awesome. A metal laptop is always just better than a plastic laptop, right? They're more durable."

"It gets good brightness and good resolution"

"the battery life seems quite good. They're quoting just a few hours shorter than the MacBook Air."

"as beautiful as these colorful metal MacBooks are, I imagine if these products go into a school system ... there'd be so many dented MacBook Neos in the future."

"I imagine the color accuracy won't be all that good."

"The two USBC ports are not Thunderbolt"

"these are legitimately awesome."

"in terms of active noise cancellation, these are crazy powerful. Like AP2 was already amazing with A&C. These just take it to another level."

"The mics on AirPods Pro 3 are excellent. ... they're totally usable if you have nothing else [for content creation]."

"on AP3, ... it sounded like the tracks were stretched artificially to just to give them like a an artificial sense of like extra detail, and it just didn't sound the way that I felt like the music should."

"they didn't stay in my ear all that well when playing sports."

"In terms of like noise cancellation of background sounds, they're not great. ... You can still hear a lot of that hair dryer over this."

"it does in fact feel very Xboxy once it's all set up and it boots into a full screen Xbox UI."

"It supposedly saves around 2 gigs of memory. From my measurements, at least on these units here, it saves about 1 to one and a half gigs."

"this UI looks and feels kind of similar to the Xbox console where you boot it up and then within seconds of browsing around, you can jump into a game."

"When you first boot these devices up, they look and smell like Windows. It is not very Xbox-like... for an Xbox product, I really feel like these prompts shouldn't be there"

"if I want to remove it or like purge my memory of this Windows background stuff, you got to reboot the system."

"occasionally when I exited a Steam game, there would be glitches where it would lose the focus of the controller."

"this is the most powerful and most complete gaming handheld package on the market right now."

"It has a sweet new OLED panel, 120 Hz variable refresh rate, 500 nits, supports HDR"

"new speakers, new D-pad, new sticks, better ergonomics"

"The Legion Goto has gotten noticeably bigger."

"It's noticeably heavier."

"The fans are louder, presumably to handle the extra heat"

"they also have their sky blue. This is definitely my favorite color this year."

"privacy display is on for everything... this is, I guess, arguably the most secure way you could use this."

"enable it for certain apps. So you can have it so it's just on in particular apps."

"when you have this enabled, the screen is a little bit dimmer. It's not substantial, but it is noticeable."

"the dimming is most aggressive when you have very high brightness settings"

"There's only one way now to put it in properly."

"the Pixel 10 macro video captures this really well. It just looks cooler to me. It has a very narrow depth of field, so the focus is a lot tighter, and the shot just looks a lot more interesting to me."

"I always thought that Pixel's night sight was extra good and it works really well for photos"

"I do think that I could shoot all the video on these phones with just one charge. That's not an issue."

"the fires look way better on the iPhone 16 Pro Max compared to the Pixel 10 Pro XL. So, like the coloring, the dynamic range on the flames."

"they still have this issue with movement. If you move the camera quickly, you get this weird jarring like almost judder to the video."

"low light videos were weirdly unimpressive on the Pixel 10 Pro XL."

"they still have this issue with movement. If you move the camera quickly, you get this weird jarring like almost judder to the video."

"low light videos were weirdly unimpressive on the Pixel 10 Pro XL."

"this is a very nice looking blue like we saw earlier"

"the most interesting feature of this iteration is the full-size screen up front"

"I think it looks so cool"

"it seems like they're only running Samsung's Exynos 2500 chip this year. There's no Snapdragon option, which has got to be a cost-saving thing, right?"

"But these devices are still very expensive"

"The Flip 7 is actually a little bit more"

"it looks and feels and has the weight and thickness of a regular phone"

"Samsung made the phone experience really good. like as close as possible to like a regular uh like slab phone"

"the image quality is better this year"

"the tablet experience is noticeably worse than it was in previous generations"

"it's a little bit harder to open than previous generations"

"The Fold 7, for sure, this is a tougher product to hold uh to open"

"And these look really nice this year."

"The Fold 7 is crazy thin."

"It's substantially thinner and lighter."

"one thing I thought was strange was that this is not a titanium build."

"if I'm honest, I'm mildly concerned because it is super thin and you need like extremely rigid materials to keep this thing durable."

"There still is no periscoping telephoto, though."

"combination of the thinness and its weight that makes it just feel very different from a typical phone. ... a phone is this light and this agile. It's just it's neat."

"the most impressive thing to me about the S25 Edge is the technical and just engineering complexity that's required to be able to pull this thing off, to be able to shrink components small enough to be able to fit it into a frame of this thickness in one generation. It's actually really impressive."

"On the front, we have Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 ... It's just going to help with durability on a device like this."

"if you have a phone like this and you put a case on it like most people typically would, you lose a lot of the thin and light characteristics that this phone has."

"this device has a very prominent camera bump. It actually protrudes out quite a bit, more so than even the camera bump on the S25 Plus."

"There is no telephoto lens. It's just a two camera system. If you want any kind of zooming, it's done through the cropping of the sensor and or digital zooms."

"Pros have boxes that showcase the backs of the devices. And because it's a full metal unibody back, the boxes are printed with this shiny metallic ink."

"they've definitely grown on me. These do not look or feel anything like previous generations of iPhones."

"it just sits in your hand very differently."

"these are so big and bulbous."

"how we perceive light is logarithmic. So it's not as big of a jump as you might think."

"it does drain quite fast in heavy games."

"it's designed so well."

"the iPhone Air looks really cool."

"It feels nice in hand."

"this has a very short battery life."

"If you play games, you're going to have to charge this thing halfway through the day."

"the iPhone Air definitely gets hotter than I expected."

"the Pro devices have the big batteries and they're extra big this year."

"I'm sure when I do any kind of performance testing, bigger numbers equals better."

"That is a very aggressive and capable thermal system on a phone."

"They feel fat and it's because of the shape."

"they actually feel like pudgy or like just bloated in comparison."

"The colors are limited this year. There is no black color."

"this device is very thin and very light."

"the iPhone Air has rounded edges and it feels very different in hand. It actually feels much more comfortable to hold."

"it's got the same kind of hardware specs as the top-end Pro products this year"

"it has a single camera. It's just the regular wide-angle lens. There is no ultra wide. There is no optical zoom."

"You lose a lot of versatility that basically every single camera or smartphone camera has today."

"You also lose the ability to do any kind of spatial videos or like 3D depth videos"

"the biggest change for the regular iPhone 17 is the inclusion finally of a 120 Hz ProMotion panel. It's finally here."

"120 Hz panel and a significantly bigger battery."

"The ultrawide has a 48 megapixel sensor, so it's just more capable"

"everything is just a little bit kind of tuned down in terms of performance"

"I really like the way this new shape feels and looks. I think it's cuz I'm so used to Flat Edge phones of the past couple of years"

"it's a very nice looking screen. It's QHD plus 120 Hz and because it's an LTPO panel goes between 1 and 120 Hz when it needs"

"S25 Ultra does get the new Gorilla Armor 2 which is just an improved glass surface... it's just supposed to be more fracture resistant and less prone to damage"

"it's lost the iconic design to me the ultra phones have always had this round shape and it is a little strange to me that they got rid of it just to go to a more almost generic looking phone"

"the battery size being still 5,000 mAh on the ultra is a little bit disappointing... it's still a fairly undersized battery"

"all of the air gestures and air actions that were Bluetooth-requiring features don't seem to exist on the S Pen anymore"
