PlayStation 5

I've read some rumors about the PlayStation 5 coming soon. I am really curious to hear more about what it will be. As with the PS4 it is rumored to be released in 3 different versions: normal, slim and pro. Some are saying it will still play discs, but I've also heard rumors that maybe one of the... See more

It feels like they've been teasing us with the PS5 forever!  I'm so ready for an upgrade; I've had my PS4 for ages.  Please Sony, just get this new console out already.  
Boilerplate
Sony has been winding us up for so long about this new PlayStation, that expectations are bound to soar!   The rumors sound promising. Don't let us down Sony!  
ApplesNOranges
Exactly. I feel like the rumors keep coming and going though. I've been waiting for this for a long time! I can't wait for them to finally officially drop something.

The specs aren't bad for this price point. It's cool that they've used some plastics out of the ocean in this device.   I know it's really greenwashing, but I'll take what I can get.

I really like this one.  I don't care what a laptop looks like so long as I can pack it away quickly,  I can work on it for a long time without recharging, and I can operate it freely without carrying around a bunch of dongles just to make... See more

Snapping photos using the iPhone 11 Pro

I love photography, and my assumption has always been that anyone is better off with a DSLR. The review of the iPhone 11 Pro has made me consider purchasing a smartphone that 'feels like a phone, and much more a camera.'

I think this might be a great upgrade for amateur photographers or maybe professional photographers that like to mess around with their phones. But this just does not appeal to me, because the emphasis is on photography and that's not my thing.
Jayden
I believe that a smartphone will never give you the same experience that a DSLR would, in terms of quality and convenience. I hardly use the camera on my smartphone, so it makes sense when there's more to a smartphone than just an excellent... See more

I don’t know but the design is a bit off for me. I like how it looked like in previous versions but this time in my opinion they have gone a bit too far.

Nice setup. How do you find the consistency of quality between the two Viotek monitors?

Forget the computers, I like the little Pac-Man ghost.  It's a cool feature that you can mark each individual thing for folks to buy online.  Makes it easier and quicker to find. 
Octane
I know, right?  I'm all about the Pac-Man ghost lamp.  I wonder how they come up with these ideas?  I like all the retro, decorative stuff.

I wonder how well this will do indeed. I think it will depend on the offer that they have. I might give it a go if they offer a trial month or something, but I am pretty happy with Netflix and Hulu at this point.
Elijah
I'll make use of the free promo and I'm looking forward to seeing what they've got.  I'm particularly interested in their new sci-fi series, For All Mankind.

The BenQ HT2050A

It is easy to shop around and get just any other projector, but then I like one that produces vivid colours and is small enough to fit in most spaces. Would you purchase a refurb?

My parents have one of those and the picture is truly brilliant.  I wouldn't buy a refurb from a third-party seller, but I would happily grab a refurb from the manufacturer.  Especially if it comes with a similar warranty as their new models. 
Jayden
Carter, it makes sense to only buy from the manufacturer because then there will be better assurance about a device's quality. The terms of the warranty may vary slightly depending on the product in question.
Octane
I ordered an older model from that company, Borris, and it turned out fine.  I've used it for years and am very satisfied with how it performs.

Wireless earphones with best sound?

My AirPods just recently died and because of the price I refuse to replace them. I am now in the market for new wireless earphones. The only thing I need is them to be noise-cancelling and have a good volume. I know this is bad for your ears, but I like my music loud. Anyone have tips? Preferably... See more

I feel like wireless earbuds are difficult because of the fit. They're such a personal preference. I think the price tag on the AirPods aren't that bad if you look at the other options.

Always-On Display desirable?

I like smart watches and they have definitely made my life a bit easier, especially the notifications. But is the always-on display of the new Apple Watch Series 5 really something that we need? I feel like this would just be an extra distraction.
Apple Watch Series 5
Carter
I like that update personally, though I don't think it's enough to make me buy a new one.  I wonder if the always-on design will drain the battery more quickly. 
Phoenix
I like the always-on design as well, but I wish Apple had added more to it.  This new watch looks more like a firmware update than anything else.  
Octane
I go back and forth on this one.  I like the always-on display and I get annoyed with my old watch because I'm constantly flicking my wrist to turn the screen back on.  Not sure if that's enough to buy another one though.
GamerGlitter
I had been on the fence about this one, but the always-on design and other special features are enough to make me want to buy right now.

Better Look over Your Shoulder, Sonos

From the reviews it looks like #Roku's audio lineup is not only #affordable, but the quality of its #smartsoundbar and #subwoofer could give #Sonos a run for its money. Maybe there's a price break on Sonos speakers in our future. #affordablegadgets #tech #techdeals #audiophile #speakers #audio
Roku is giving Sonos a run for its money with its new family of TV speakers — and it’s a brilliant business move This week, Roku announced two new home-audio products: a Smart Soundbar, and a Wireless Subwoofer. In true Roku fashion, they're extremely affordable. BUSINESSINSIDER.COM

KateWilliams
I'm not sure I buy into that since Roku and Sonos aren't typically competing for the same demographic of people.  Part of the appeal of buying a Sonos speaker is that it feels more exclusive than its rivals.
JustBeFrank
I would definitely look into this. I do like having a smart audio system and Sonos is great, but it is so pricey. To me, Sonos does look more exclusive, but not necessarily better.
Borris
Same here because as far as I know, this is the best performance-per-bar product that Sonos has ever produced. It also feels like the price represents value for money.
Carter
Right!  The fact that you can buy all three of Roku's speakers for about the same price as one Sonos speaker makes Roku the clear winner.  It stacks up to be "good enough" sound at a terrific price.

Your thoughts on the iPhone 11?

I would rather Apple retained the lightning port in current and future models, even though this is a subjective topic. I agree with the article's argument that apart from a polished product, consumers are looking for devices with more battery life, excellent camera functions, among other... See more

Borris
Almost every news or tech outlet is giving the iPhone 11 a thumbs up, and it seems (to me) like the best phone for its price. It is also encouraging that Apple went for 64GB for the base models unlike, 16GB in the past.
ApplesNOranges
I think the changes they made to the iPhone 11 are pretty cool but for me personally it just doesn't add anything really. If you're in the market for a new phone I think this is a great option but if you upgraded last year I don't consider it... See more

Yes, it isn't worth to upgrade if you bought a phone recently. Are we getting to a point where smartphone manufacturing companies are unveiling flagship models not out of necessity or demand?

Toughbook 55 is a One-of-a-Kind Modular Laptop That Can Stand a Serious Beating

With sleek laptops such as the MacBooks and Surface Pros currently being released, announced, and teased, we found a needle in a haystack. Panasonic just announced the Toughbook 55, a huge bulky laptop that looks more at home in the middle of a battlefield than an office. In a season when a new... See more

I'm a klutz and drop my laptop all the time, so I could really use something like this.  I love modular gear.  It's nice to be able to customize things to suit your needs.
Ankara
We are used to sleek laptops, and so I agree that Panasonic took a bold step in launching this device. I wouldn't mind purchasing this one for the outdoors while having a sleeker laptop for office or home use.
