Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new MacBook Air next year and now a new report has claimed that it will use a next-generation M2 chip, a follow up to the M1. It is not expected to be as powerful as the ‘M1 Pro’ and ‘M1 Max’ as it will be aimed at lower-power devices, reports MacRumors.

SteelSeries’ new Arctis 7 Plus and 7P Plus wireless headsets have two key improvements over their predecessors: better battery life, going up to 30 hours per charge from 24 hours with three hours of use from a 15-minute fast charge, and USB-C charging. Most other major headset makers have used that connector for years now, but SteelSeries has been oddly slow to adopt it, even though it has shipped its clever USB-C audio transmitter with select headsets since 2019.

Apple is about to add a new feature to iPhones informing users if the device was previously repaired and whether a genuine screen or battery was used (via 9to5Mac). A new parts and service history section will appear (under Settings > General > About) with the upcoming iOS 15.2 update for iPhone — providing some insight and peace of mind for buyers of used or refurbished iPhones hoping to get a proper quality OEM unit.

Recently, there have been widespread reports of the Asus ROG Maximus Z690 motherboard burning up. Asus didn’t officially acknowledge the problem until December 29. The company acknowledged the problem and underlying causes and announced a recall for the faulty motherboards.

Google's latest tablet is its greatest yet. In fact, the Pixel C hands down is the most powerful Android tablet I've ever used. The real question here isn't if the Pixel C is the best tablet, it's "who cares"?

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University may have found a way to revitalize rechargeable lithium batteries, potentially boosting the range of electric vehicles and battery life in next-gen electronic devices.

In 2020, Apple managed the impossible: it made chipsets sexy. People actually talked about processors. But the release of the M1 did more than get public attention, it also shook up the whole computing industry.

Here's what you can add to your cart right now.

If there was any product revealed at CES last week that pushed battery life claims to a whole new level—and raised some eyebrows too—it was HyperX’s pair of 300-hour headphones. The wireless gaming headset, called Cloud Alpha Wireless, will supposedly offer 300 hours of continuous use on a single charge when the product launches this spring.

Xiaomi first introduced a 120-watts fast charging technology with the launch of 11T Pro in Europe in September of last year.

According to the company, the 11i Hypercharge’s 4,500mAh battery can go from zero to 100% within 15 minutes in ideal conditions. While 120W fast charging is industry-leading, is it safe?

Power tool batteries are some of the densest lithium-ion packs lying around your house (or construction site), but they rarely play nice with the kind of chargers and batteries that top up your laptop, phone and PC. That might be about to change — Ryobi and DeWalt are testing the waters with USB-C powered battery options, and one of them looks seriously neat.

Peloton has just launched a new forearm-worn heart-rate band that will replace the company's current chest-strap monitor. The $90 heart-rate monitor (HRM) uses optical sensors rather than the electrodermal ones found on the chest strap it will soon replace.

Did you ever listen to music via bluetooth and got a call? Did the quality get a lot worse? What happened to all those fancy codecs?

In terms of pre-release chatter, the Samsung Galaxy S22+ is the phone least likely to inspire much conversation. Below it, you have the affordable, shrunken Galaxy S22 that's the closest Samsung has come to a powerful Mini phone. Above it, you have the reincarnation of the Note lineup disguised as an Ultra flagship. Compared to those, the S22 Plus plays it safe, sticking close to what we saw in its 2021 predecessor.
