My favorite robot vacuum now supports Matter

Matic, my current top pick for the best robot vacuum, just got a big update. The unique-looking floor bot now works with Google Home and Apple Home, with support coming through the smart home standard Matter. This enables voice control and smart home integrations, features that have been missing from the robot since launch. Now […]

Hands on with Aqara’s new Matter-compatible camera

The first Matter camera is here – sort of. Camera support came to the smart home standard last year, and Aqara’s Camera Hub G350 is the first to support it. The G350, which was announced at CES, launched this week and is a pan-and-tilt indoor security camera with up to 4K video resolution. Today, the […]

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are the choice — if you have a Galaxy phone

Samsung promised “more than a design refresh” for its new top-end Galaxy Buds – it added upgraded woofers for improved, dual-amped hi-fi sound, a new blade design, clearer call performance, and better noise cancellation. Ultimately, while the $249.99 Galaxy Buds 4 aren’t a huge leap forward over the previous model, they keep what was good […]

MacBook Air M5 review: a small update for the ‘just right’ Mac

Not much has changed in the new MacBook Air for 2026: It now has the M5 chip, Wi-Fi 7, and faster storage starting at 512GB instead of 256GB. It’s just as outstanding a computer as last year’s model, even if it’s a shame it’s $100 more expensive. The bigger change has happened to the Air. […]

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review: show off

“Someone might be watching everything I’m doing on my screen,” I tell myself in public. Even when I’m doing nothing of consequence – just making my little Wordle guesses – there’s a sense of unease that stays with me. It’s never bothered me too much, and I generally save the sensitive stuff like banking for […]

How to Ding, Dong, Ditch Ring’s surveillance network

Recently, Ring ran a Super Bowl ad for its Search Party feature showing how it uses AI to scan footage from Ring cameras and video doorbells to help find lost dogs. It sounds neighborly — until you consider that the same system could theoretically search footage for anything or anyone.  Combined with longstanding concerns around […]

Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus review: This again

While Samsung has treated its Flips and Folds to a few major hardware upgrades over recent years, the Galaxy S flagships have often felt like a long, unbroken line of minor spec refreshes. The S26 and S26 Plus do nothing to change that trend. The Galaxy S26 Ultra at least benefits from the company’s new […]

Apple Studio Display XDR review: pro at a premium

It’s been almost exactly four years since Apple released the 5K Studio Display that so many wanted, even if it didn’t really deliver as a high-end display. Apple has now revamped the Studio Display lineup, sort of, with another Studio Display and the Studio Display XDR. They’re both 27-inch 5K (5,120 x 2,880) displays with […]

Apple iPad Air M4 review: a little bit faster now

The newest iPad Air is a chip bump iPad – maybe the chip-bump-iest iPad Air yet. Inside this new machine are, in fact, three upgraded chips compared to last year’s model: an M4 processor, a C1X cellular modem, and an N1 chip that brings the Air Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread support. That is […]
