Engadget has been reviewing consumer tech since 2004, with stories that may include affiliate links. Our team has recently tested various devices, including the Apple MacBook Air M4, Mac Studio M4 Max, Ninja Swirl by Creami, Technics AZ100, MSI Claw 8 AI+, and other notable products.
The new MacBook Air is a top choice for ultraportability, offering fast performance, thin design, great keyboard, and excellent battery life. However, it has limited ports and a lower refresh rate than some competitors.
The Mac Studio M4 Max is the most powerful machine from Apple, suitable for creators who need high-performance capabilities. It features generous ports, elegant design, and upgrades that are worth considering. However, upgrades can be pricey, and front USB-C ports on the M4 Max model are slow.
In the ice cream department, Ninja’s Creami Swirl offers excellent soft serve capabilities, quieter operation, and a physical dispensing handle. While it’s more expensive than the original Creami and bulkier in design, its versatility makes it stand out.
Technics’ AZ100 earbuds deliver impressive sound quality with magnetic fluid drivers and three-device multipoint connectivity. They’re available in small sizes for comfortable fits, but may lack noise-canceling features compared to competitors.
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is a gaming handheld that offers strong performance, above-average battery life, and a bright screen. However, its starting price of $900 makes it more expensive than many competitors.
Other notable reviews include the new Apple iPad Air with an M3 upgrade, Sorry We’re Closed on PS5, GPU reviews from Devindra, and a re-review of the Apple Watch SE with numerous requests for updates.
