Now that the Apple Vision Pro is officially hitting the streets, folks who ordered early are truly able to see how hard they can push their $3,500 headset. While there’s no medical terminology for that feeling of somebody taking a sledgehammer to your wallet, a few people are already tearing the Vision Pro apart in spectacular fashion to understand how it ticks and perhaps learn what would happen if you can’t help but walk headlong into walls while engaged in Apple’s “spatial” environment.Hands-On With Meta Quest 3It…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but the prices of some of the best graphics cards are rapidly dropping. We just got off a month of hardware launches, spearheaded by Nvidia’s RTX 40-series Super refresh, and those launches have caused some major shifts in the prices of older GPUs. The most prominent example of that is the RTX 4070 Ti. Nvidia released its RTX 4070 Ti Super about two weeks ago. The Super version is set to replace the base model, but plenty of units remain in stock. Now, you…

What is SATA? In short, it’s how almost everything storage-related connects to your motherboard. If you’ve owned a desktop PC or laptop in the past decade and a half, you can be confident it was a Serial ATA (SATA) compatible piece of hardware. Whether it was a hard drive (HDD), a solid-state drive (SSD), or an optical drive, almost all of them used SATA until recently. That’s not always the case, as there are some newer standards available for high-speed drives. But alongside PCIe and NVMe, SATA is still a…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The two major innovations in gaming displays over the past few years have been OLED and mini-LED. These two types of displays have transformed the rather dire state of HDR for PC gamers, and now, you can find OLED and mini-LED options across gaming monitors, laptops, and TVs. From my perspective, though, there’s really only one choice for the best gaming experience. Although both mini-LED and OLED improve the gaming experience with excellent HDR, OLED still holds a massive advantage over…

Apple’s Vision Pro is set to make landfall from the company’s Cupertino spaceship headquarters Friday. Still, those who got to spend time with it early could finally break their silence Tuesday morning. From the fore, reviewers have walked away impressed with the VR headset’s strong displays, best-in-class passthrough, and hand tracking, but many also wonder just how much use they can get out of a $3,500 headset sporting a connected two-hour battery pack.Hands-On With Meta Quest 3Among reviewers, the most consistent…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends There’s no better way to reverse bad press than a genuine apology tour. GPUs are on a bit of one right now in an attempt to win back the goodwill of PC gamers with juiced-up specs, better pricing, and some fancy new branding. Most obviously, we can see this with Nvidia’s RTX 40-series Super GPUs, but AMD is also throwing its hat in the ring with the RX 7600 XT, too. Nvidia and AMD are responding to the rather disappointing year that GPUs just had, and in the process, they’re proving…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends AMD and Nvidia are always competing when it comes to producing the best graphics card of the year. It’s safe to say that they both always try, but AMD’s latest attempt feels like it may seriously backfire. The new RX 7600 XT feels like an attempt to fix problems with the original RX 7600, but it ends up being something that Nvidia should be sending AMD a fruit basket for. AMD repeated Nvidia’s mistakes Nvidia’s RTX 40-series is, for the most part, a success. The addition of DLSS 3 made…

Netflix is on everything. It’s on your phone, computer, and game console, going all the way back to the Nintendo Wii. Hell, you can get your Netflix fix on a Peloton if you really need to work off the vicarious carbo loads of Paul Hollywood while watching the latest season of The Great British Bake Off. One place where Netflix won’t be is Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro VR headset. Why isn’t Netflix planning an app for what is Apple’s big $3,500 gamble on the future of augmented reality? According to co-CEO Greg Peters, it’s…
