While digital media options have surpassed the popularity of old-fashioned printed materials, you'll still find plenty of reasons to use physical documents and images. With the price of printers going down in recent years, it's easy to grab a solid printer that’s equipped with cutting-edge features at bargain prices.

In the world of network-attached storage (NAS), there are a handful of household-name companies, custom NAS builds, and not much else. That's why Ugreen entering the market with an entire NASync lineup invoked passionate responses — both positive and negative ones — from the NAS community. There are seven models in total, and they are launching as a Kickstarter campaign that blew past its original crowdfunding goal. I've spent over a month testing a pre-production unit and software for arguably the most interesting NASync variant: the Ugreen NASync DXP480T Plus.

There are a lot of charging solutions on the market, which can make it confusing if you're looking to upgrade your current gear. With that said, we've managed to find this sweet deal on Anker's PowerCore charging bundle that includes a 26,800mAh power bank, along with a 60W PD charger that comes in at a great price.

The Ryzen 7 8700G is arguably the best AMD CPU for PC builders on a budget, offering enough integrated graphical horsepower to skip the GPU altogether. But let's face it: as great as APUs are, they won't fully replace discrete graphics cards any time soon. That's where the Ryzen 7 8700F comes in as a viable alternative to the Ryzen 7 8700G. This newer, cheaper CPU is very similar to the 8700G but lacks integrated graphics, making it an attractive choice for builders set on using a dedicated GPU. Given the price difference, a comparison between the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 7 8700G is necessary to determine which of these Zen 4 processors is the best fit for your build (and your budget).

Modern SBCs have come a long way since their initial development as basic server PCs and have become extremely versatile machines that can be used in so many different ways. Since the popularization of the Raspberry Pi, which is considered the best SBC on the market, PC enthusiasts and hobbyists alike have been using these tiny computers to do all sorts of incredible things, from building retro gaming consoles to machine learning and home servers.

Microsoft introduced massive changes to the Microsoft Store app in the last couple of months, giving a major performance boost and the ability to spot new features easily. The software giant was simultaneously putting effort into improving how you download apps from the Microsoft Store web. The work that went into making it a reality was worth it, as downloading and installing apps from the Microsoft Store website has just become substantially smoother for Windows 11 and 10 users.

Whether you are a student, professional, or general consumer, you simply can’t ignore a Mac when shopping for a new laptop. Powerful and efficient M-series CPUs, comprehensive redesigns on the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models, and the company’s ever-expanding Mac lineup have attracted many new users to Apple’s desktop OS.

Aftermarket tinkering on Android phones isn't as prominent as it once used to be. That's not to say you can't root your Android phone or install a custom ROM like LineageOS on it. You can still tinker and customize your phone to a large extent as long as you have the interest and the technical know-how. Most — if not all — aftermarket tinkering requires you to connect your Android smartphone to a computer using a USB cable, so you can use tools like the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to interact with the device.

The Flipper Zero has been out for a few years now. It's a fantastic first-generation product that plenty of people get a lot of use out of, but to many, it's long overdue an upgrade. The company announced a Flipper One a few years ago, but that product has mysteriously disappeared off of its website, with Flipper being rather quiet about its whereabouts.

Have you ever come across a scene and wish you knew how to put it into prose? Now, with the power of AI, you no longer have to struggle. Two people have invented the Poetry Camera, an ingenious device that analyses what you snap and prints out an AI-generated poem about what it sees, Polaroid-style. Best of all, because the entire thing runs off a Raspberry Pi board, you can make your own.
