The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has been @theverge.com's favorite gaming laptop for years. And the new model is brilliant, with a great Intel Panther Lake chip and excellent battery life. But thanks to RAMageddon it's gotten prohibitively expensive. Here's my review. 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/935898/...

Yesterday's Googlebook announcement left me with more questions than answers. What problem in computing is Google solving with its entirely new operating system and hardware? The brief tease just looked like ChromeOS with a few new AI tricks. gift link 🎁: www.theverge.com/report/92937...

I know I'm not the only one that's wanted a MacBook Pro for Windows. But not like this. Not like this... 🎁 Here's a gift link to my latest laptop review for @theverge.com, the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra. www.theverge.com/tech/925806/...

My pick for the best laptop of CES is finally here, and it doesn’t disappoint. The Asus Zephyrus Duo is a dual-screen monster for gaming and loads of multitasking, with two 16-inch OLEDs you always have with you. But it’s also $5,500. 😬 www.theverge.com/tech/918529/...

You know the dude who sent this says “how about a smile” to women in service jobs

I’m a New Jersey lifer who inherited the Mets, Jets, Rangers, and Knicks from my older brothers and cousin. I’m locked into misery for life.

If you didn’t catch all of Framework’s big announcements today, do yourself a favor and catch up with @seanhollister.bsky.social’s extensive coverage. It was A Lot. Here’s Sean’s excellent hands-on video with the big one: the Framework Laptop 13 Pro. youtube.com/shorts/oFO76...

Can anyone make sense of these Xbox Game Pass emails? Why is the pricing all over the place? Here’s what I got and one that my friend got. This math isn’t math-ing

Keychron's Q and V series are among our go-to recommendations for off-the-shelf keyboards, and the latest iterations are a straightforward upgrade to the lineup, with benefits for regular users and deep-in-the-weeds keyboard nerds alike. Read more from @superantonio64.bsky.social: buff.ly/Te0aT0V

New keyboard review ⌨️: I tested the Keychron V5 Ultra 8K and Q1 Ultra 8K. Remember when mechanical keyboards had terrible battery life? That’s wayyy in the rear view now that these boards run on ZMK firmware and can last weeks or months even with RGB. Gift link 🎁: www.theverge.com/tech/914085/...

For $599, the MacBook Neo offers fantastic build quality and solid performance in a sleek and ultra-portable package. Windows laptops in this price range tend to be ugly, cheap-feeling, and a little slow. Read the full breakdown by @superantonio64.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/tech/908328/...

I reviewed the Ricoh GR IV Monochome for @theverge.com and I’m obsessed. Shooting such high quality b&w photos with a camera that slips into your pocket is just unheard of. $2,200 is a lot, but at least it’s not $8k like a Leica Q3 Monochrom. Gift link🎁: www.theverge.com/tech/910061/...

A night of culture 🤓

I reviewed Windows laptops in the $600-ish price range and tested them against the MacBook Neo. The results may not shock you. 🎁 gift link: www.theverge.com/tech/908328/...

Yet another World Cup without Italy :(((

Last Marathon match of the night. A squad member goes afk and the two of us get merced at a guarded exfil. The other dude just makes it. 5 mins later, afk dude springs to life and rezzes me. We make it out with SECONDS to spare and he tells me “sorry dude I had to shit so bad!” King shit

Lots of M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pro users are still going strong with their laptops. I often see them wondering at what point an upgrade is worthwhile. In my review of the new M5 Max MacBook Pro I re-tested those 2021 laptops to see how they compare. 🎁 gift link: www.theverge.com/tech/898062/...

My first Steam release, FLY2K is available now! Give the demo a try if a y2k, cyberspace style runner with challenging controls sounds like your jam store.steampowered.com/app/3807220/... #indiegame #y2k #cyberspace

NVIDIA: What if we introduce ray tracing so you can have really high quality real-time lighting, models that cast shadows on themselves, and game lighting that looks _really_ real? Also NVIDIA: What if we do that, and then throw out that lighting to run the yassify filter so everyone looks HOT?

DLSS is supposed to help with resolution scaling and framerate, not turn your game's protagonist into Aubrey Plaza

Never ceases to amaze that the Oscars has so many stupid bits and crummy attempts at comedy but they gotta cruelly cut people off and TURN THE LIGHTS OFF ON THEM to save time

How unprepared are Windows laptop makers for the MacBook Neo? An executive from one of them said it's for "content consumption" — like it's a glorified Netflix machine. This thing's gonna eat their lunch, and for the foreseeable future. 🎁 gift link: www.theverge.com/report/89409...

Obsessed with this new 2 Mello track off the new album, which is a fucking banger and cracks me up every damn time "Enjoyable bars for affordable cars!" 2mellomakes.bandcamp.com/track/tan-ca...

Why is the problem always DNS?

Ok but make it actually good

Live now 👋🏻

Going live in 10 with an AMA for @theverge.com subscribers on the MacBook Neo. Come on in. 🤓 www.theverge.com/gadgets/8920...

I reviewed the MacBook Neo for @theverge.com. Apple's new $599 laptop with an iPhone chip redefines what an affordable laptop is and how good it can be.

I’m bad at thinking of this kind of stuff on the spot but it’s clear to me that I’m pretty basic. And old.

Pokopia has a whole 3D printer and it surprised me so much that I ended up reanalyzing how Pokémon treats technology in general. Gift link if you want to read :) www.theverge.com/games/890131...

Something i see people say is that they use ai for brainstorming or as a sounding board for ideas, but there's an issue You aren't working with a partner if they can't disagree with you or tell you that your idea is shit. What you're doing is something else and for a different purpose

One night of Marathon and a quick peek into the subreddit and I’m guessing it’s best to just nope tf out now Feels like this is gonna end up being quite the sweaty group of toxics

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️

I went hands-on with Asus' $3,700 ROG Flow Z13-KJP gaming tablet. It's a limited edition collab with Kojima Productions, designed by artist Yoji Shinkawa. I felt compelled to hike it up a mountain in a blizzard, and took tons of pics for @theverge.com. Gift link: www.theverge.com/tech/883400/...

This is the Asus ROG Flow Z13-KJP, a collaboration between Asus and Kojima Productions. @superantonio64.bsky.social says it's the "coolest computer I've ever touched." So of course, he hiked up a snowy mountain for some photos. www.theverge.com/tech/883400/...

Need some lazy Sunday reading as we hunker down to get snowed in? I reviewed two low-fi, #screenfree cameras in a head to head review: the Camp Snap Pro and Flashback One35 V2. The vibes are not immaculate for one of them. Gift link 🎁: www.theverge.com/gadgets/8826...

I wish they played proper OT, at least for the knockouts or just the final. And the US lucked out sooooo big with that non-call for too many men on the ice. But damn, that was a roller coaster. It’s nice to feel a small sense of pride, even for just a bit. And this moment was just beautiful.

Fuck it, we'll do it live! (We're live now.)

Hello! In under an hour I'll be doing a @theverge.com subscriber-exclusive AMA, starting at 2pm ET. Post your laptop questions in the comments section of the link below, and let's talk shop. I will also accept camera and hair care questions. www.theverge.com/column/88156...

Our laptop reviewer @superantonio64.bsky.social has covered everything from humble Chromebooks to $6,000 gaming beasts. Got any questions? We're holding a subscriber-exclusive AMA today at 2PM ET, so drop questions in the comments at this link and we'll talk trackpads and keyboards this afternoon.

Happy Chinese Valentines Black History Lent Ramadan New Year to all who celebrate.

I dove into HP's laptop subscription program and ran the numbers on just how bad a deal it is. @theverge.com gift link right here: www.theverge.com/report/87833... Once a deal hunter, always a deal hunter... 😉👉🏻👉🏻
