You’ve probably been in the same situation as me — keen to get a new panel for your PS5, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S only to see prices jump to four figures. That’s what makes Acer’s Predator monitor all the more attractive, alongside additional benefits like USB-C connection and a KVM switch in a smaller frame and a smaller price. Does the Predator XB323QK stick the landing as a great all rounder for both gaming and getting stuff done?...

Design The Spin 7 is what a premium 2-in-1 device should feel like. It’s a thin, black block of aluminum with curved edges and clean lines. The lid is decorated solely with Acer’s logo in gray, and the hinges are silver, which helps break up the design a bit. When I opened the lid, I was greeted by a 14-inch, 1080p display with minimal bezels on the sides, an island-style keyboard, a massive glass touchpad and a deck made of the same solid, gorgeous material as the lid....

Fanless laptops are a hot commodity these days, figuratively speaking, with a number of noise-free 2-in-1s and ultraportables hitting the market in the past year. However, to avoid active cooling, vendors have had to use Intel’s low-power, but comparatively-slow Core M CPUs. The Switch 12 solves this problem by using a liquid to absorb the additional heat from its Core Series CPU. Acer calls its cooling technology “LiquidLoop,” because the coolant passes through the system in a closed pipe that absorbs the heat and uses the hot air to move, rather than requiring a pump or radiator as you’d see in a desktop....

Apple gave the new MacBook Pro a similar treatment to the latest MacBook Air. Yes, the dreadful Butterfly keyboard is finally gone for good now that the 13-inch MacBook Pro uses the Magic keyboard with traditional scissor switches. Which MacBook Should You Buy?

The 12-inch MacBook is better than its predecessor, but it still involves compromises. Design The 12-inch MacBook remains a beautiful piece of hardware, made of sturdy aluminum and measuring just 0.5 inches thick. Apple added a rose-gold color option to the mix, which I tested, to go along with space gray, gold and silver. Yes, the rose-gold MacBook has a pink hue to it, but I didn’t mind being seen using this laptop on the bus or at Starbucks....

Design The 0.3-inch thick Asus ZenPad Z8 is quite slender. Its front features a simple, 7.9-inch display, with thin left and right display bezels, and its back panel offers an elegant, textile-patterned, soft-touch finish that is comfortable to hold. The ZenPad Z8’s 8-megapixel rear camera protrudes slightly from the top left corner of the back panel, and its 2-MP selfie shooter sits off-center to the right in the display’s top bezel....
