Bolstered with a new chipset, a comfortable design, and software designed to tackle the issues with Windows on a handheld, this might be the portable gaming PC to buy this year. The most significant difference with the MSI Claw…

As the sun dips in slomo into the emerald waters of the Gulf of Thailand, painting the skies in soft hues of periwinkle and purple, Phu Quoc Island appears magical. Childlike glee is appropriate, whatever your age! Located in Vietnam, the country’s largest island has been voted by TIME magazine as one of the world’s ‘100 most amazing islands’. And it’s no hype.

CES 2024 has barely begun, and I’ve already had an exciting glimpse at the future of folding smartphones.

It has a 6.7-inch Full HD+ display that can fold inside of itself to become a small, pocketable square.…
