If you’ve received a brand-new fitness tracker for Christmas, or have given yourself the admirable New Year’s resolution of getting fitter, then you’ll want to know how to use tech to achieve this goal. I’ve been using and reporting on the gadgets for many years, and have amassed some useful advice to keep in mind. A fitness tracker is a smaller and more affordable version of a smartwatch, which is designed for elegance and ease of use while still keeping its finger on the literal and metaphorical pulse of your body. They’re great as gifts, or as commitments to yourself…

Asus might be looking into some pretty extreme measures to deal with the global memory shortage that’s currently making laptops more expensive. While the company has officially denied any plans to start its own RAM production line, the rumor mill is spinning with talk that the Taiwanese giant could still consider manufacturing its own DRAM as early as 2026. The goal? To finally stop being at the mercy of the big three memory suppliers. The root of the problem is a massive shift in how the world’s biggest memory makers – Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix – are spending their…

The clock is ticking down on 2026, but for smartphone enthusiasts, it’s ending on a bittersweet note. Apple delivered one of its strongest entry-point phones in the year with the iPhone 17, while the iPhone 17 Pro marked the biggest upgrade we’ve seen on a flagship from the brand in years.  Google’s Pixel 10 did one better, while the Pixel 10 Pro emerged as the most refined AI-first phone out there. Samsung knocked it out of the park with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and even supersized the foldable formula with the Galaxy Z TriFold.  AI offered a clear sign…

LG Display is gearing up for a massive leap in monitor tech at CES 2026, where it will show off the world’s first 27-inch 4K OLED panel that finally combines a true RGB stripe subpixel layout with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate. This new panel is a direct answer to the “text problem” that has long plagued OLED monitors, aiming to give both high-end gamers and creative professionals a screen that doesn’t force them to choose between sharp text and smooth motion. The big news here is the move to an RGB stripe structure, where the red, green, and blue…

In this episode of You Asked, we tackle three common home entertainment questions. First, we break down whether all-in-one soundbars are worth buying, especially for smaller rooms and simpler setups. Next, we recommend TVs that can handle heavy daily use, focusing on durability, gaming performance, and long-term value over flashy features. Finally, we explore the challenges of finding an accessible TV setup for a blind user, including the limitations of smart TV voice guides and potential alternatives. Are all-in-one soundbars worth it? @vinayshsureshram277 asks: Are all in one soundbars worth it? As they don’t have subwoofer and satellite speakers I…

When looking back at 2025, the biggest stories will undoubtedly be the Switch 2 and the rise of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but 2026 might actually be even bigger – and not just because GTA 6 is (hopefully) launching. Just about every platform holder has a feather in their cap in terms of high-profile exclusives, but this year, PC gaming is having some more fun, too. Not only is Valve launching its own part-console/part-PC Steam Machine, but there are more handheld PCs than ever vying for attention. It’s shaping up to be a fascinating year – here’s why. All eyes…

Every year, the GPU market seems to follow a familiar script. Nvidia continues to set the pace at the high end, AMD responds where it can, and the loudest headlines are dominated by flagship performance. For most buyers, that still means choosing between the same two companies — even as the balance of power clearly tilts in Nvidia’s favor. But the GPU I’m most excited about heading into 2026 doesn’t come from either of the companies. Instead, it’s an unconfirmed card that could quietly change the shape of the market – Intel’s Arc B770, often referred to in leaks as…

LG is getting ready to show off its latest breakthrough in home robotics, a new bot called LG CLOiD, at CES 2026 in Las Vegas this January. This isn’t just another gadget launch; it marks a huge shift for LG as they go all-in on a future where smart robots aren’t just toys, but a core part of how we manage our homes. The LG CLOiD is basically a multi-purpose indoor helper designed to take the sting out of household chores. It’s the centrepiece of LG’s “Zero Labor Home” vision – a concept that’s all about using automation to free…

The modern EV age has come to the entire auto industry, but it’s defined by newcomers. The Tesla Model S captured the public’s imagination in a way the Nissan Leaf couldn’t, and that set the tone for everything that followed. Whether it’s fair or not, established automakers are viewed as followers, not leaders, when it comes to EVs. So even though it plans to electrify its own lineup, Volvo created an EV spinoff brand — Polestar — to capture some of that startup magic. The 2026 Polestar 4 is notable step in the evolution of that brand. It’s the first…
