89% Apple iPad 10 review - Anniversary tablet as slimmed down version of the iPad Air

iPad Air Light. The new iPad of the 10th generation offers a reworked design that is identical to that of the current iPad Air. While it also shares many other characteristics of the sibling model, there are also some technical compromises. However, this still results in a hefty price increase compared to the predecessor.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition Review: Unrivaled 4K 100 fps behemoth for US$400 less than the RTX 3090 Ti

A Love(lace)ly beast nonpareil. The RTX 4090 is a flagship GPU based on Nvidia's new AD102 Ada Lovelace architecture. While the fundamentals are similar to that of Ampere, Nvidia is offering amped-up clocks and core counts, new Tensor and RT core technologies, and an efficient TSMC custom 4N process all of which aim to make the RTX 4090 the undisputed chart leader for a long time to come. We put the RTX 4090 through the paces to see exactly how much horsepower you can get for US$1,599.

Nothing's latest TWS headphones are called Ear (stick). The charging case in lipstick design and the transparent Earbuds are eye-catchers. Even without aptX, LC3, or LDAC, the half-in-ears can offer a full sound. With only 4.4 grams per earbud, the Ear (stick) are also among the absolute lightweights.

84% LG Ultra PC 16 (2022) AMD review: This is not a gram.

More stamina than the gram. It is called an Ultra PC and is cheaper than a gram. This 16-inch laptop has a longer battery life than the already long-lasting Intel-based LG gram. What's more, the device only needs a 72 Wh battery (rather than 80 Wh) to achieve this level of battery life. At 400 g heavier, the Ultra PC is admittedly not quite a "gram", but it is still a respectable piece of hardware no less.
