The OnePlus Pad is a lovely Android tablet with a surprising flaw

Prakhar Khanna / Digital Trends The OnePlus Pad is a story of what could have been if Android was better optimized for trackpads on keyboard accessories. That may sound like a small, niche complaint, but it’s played a big role in my enjoyment (and frustration) with the tablet. Using the OnePlus Pad can be glitchy and buggy at times, but despite its imperfect trackpad implementation (often resulting in me getting frustrated and wanting to move to my laptop for work), the tablet is surprisingly good for being your…

Fiio KB3 infuses a mechanical keyboard with a hi-res DAC

Fiio Combo devices are everywhere. We have phones with cameras, earbuds with fitness trackers, and watches with altimeters, so why not a keyboard with a built-in digital-to-analog converter (DAC)?

Can the Quest 3 replace a PC? I found out the hard way

Tracey Truly / Digital Trends When Meta launched the Quest 3 in October, the focus was on mixed reality gaming, but I wondered if it was ready for work.

Most computing devices serve a variety of purposes. Your PC works all day with you, then transitions to entertainment, whether watching movies, browsing the web, or playing games. The best VR headsets can be…

This strange accessory did something amazing to my iPad

Nadeem Sarwar / Digital Trends Apple has been trying to sell the idea of using an iPad — the Pro model, specifically — as a legitimate computing machine for a while. It started with putting a Mac-borrowed M-series silicon inside the tablet, followed by bringing Stage Manager to the tablet. Then came desktop-grade productivity apps like Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and Da Vinci Resolve, preceded by Microsoft 365 and Adobe’s editing tools. The ability to plug in an external monitor is also neat for a tablet, but that…

This laptop from 2021 remains my favorite laptop

I’m pretty much always using a new laptop as my daily driver — whichever one that I’m testing for review.

But occasionally, there’s a lull in new releases, which gives me a chance to do a gut check. Which laptop do I return to as my primary work machine? To my own surprise, it’s none of the flashy new releases from…
