Coming in 2019 (pricing is TBA), the new Notebook 9 Pen laptops will also feature upgraded S Pens.

There are three problems with this category, all of which are summed up in my Razer Anzu review. The glasses are usually too big and too heavy to be comfortable to wear, the speakers are too tinny and the novelty factor doesn’t make up for the fact they’re usually too expensive. Soundcore responds to that last problem with a lower cost of $199 (£149), but let’s go in deeper about the first two, as I’ve had some hands-on time with Soundcore Frames....

For $79, this wired gaming mouse features great performance, a lightweight design and a sweet OLED display with customizable settings without the need of any software. As convenient as that is, the software you can download is great. The only issue is that there should be at least one more button outside of the standard ones, and there’s no on-the-fly DPI button. But overall, the SteelSeries Prime+ slides in the ranks of the best gaming mouse that you can buy....

No, we’re not making this up. A patent filed by Microsoft in 2018 (via Windows Latest) describes how solar panels could be mounted to the Surface Pro’s kickstand to extend battery life. The patent references carrying cases that charge devices with solar energy but notes there is no such solution for when a laptop or tablet is in use.

We had great things to say in our Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 review. It starts with their comfort. Made of premium materials, the 700s can be worn for hours on end without feeling irritation....
