During the event, the Fire TV Stick 4K was the most popular item purchased, selling more than any previous Prime Day event. There was also a “record-setting” number of Fire TVs sold, including models from both Toshiba and Insignia. “Hundreds of thousands” of Amazon Fire tablets were also sold during the festivities. However, Amazon wasn’t the only company to benefit from Prime Day, as it was also the “two biggest days ever” for small and medium businesses on the platform. So, with that being said, let’s take a look at Amazon’s Prime Day 2021 recap.

The Xbox Series X|S features some powerful graphical performance that can only truly be realized over HDMI 2.1, which is something that not many TVs feature. So Microsoft has teamed up with a variety of display manufacturers to launch a Designed for Xbox brand campaign to showcase screens that are made for the company’s latest consoles.

The Anda Seat T-Pro 2 series is designed for bot gaming and work. I’ve been using it for the past few months and found that it’s good for a multitude of uses, but it also might not be the best depending on your body type. Up front, it’s a comfortable gaming chair that provides unmatched support in many areas, while also being ultra customizable. So without further ado, let’s find out if you’d want to buy the Anda Seat T-Pro 2 office chair in our hands-on review.

Over the weekend, Microsoft and Bethesda announced a slew of new games, updates, and more for its Xbox consoles. Well, buried in a blog post recapping the event, Microsoft detailed plans to release the Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) app on Xbox One, enabling “millions of players” to enjoy next-gen games like Flight Simulator without having to buy a new console. What all does this mean for Xbox One owners and how can you take advantage? Let’s take a closer look.

During Microsoft’s E3 event this past Sunday, we got our first look at Flight Simulator 2020 on Xbox Series X/S. Honestly, I was blown away by how good the game looks on console and can’t wait to get my hands on it. I recently tried out Flight Sim 2020 on PC and found that it’s a fantastic game that’s quite fun, though playing with a keyboard is a bit cumbersome. Heck, playing with a controller won’t be the easiest thing. That’s why Turtle Beach prepared its VelocityOne Flight system that’s designed specifically to be used with Xbox Series X/S and Windows 10 PCs for flying around in Flight Simulator 2020. What all does the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight System do? Let’s take a closer look.

I’ve spent the past few weeks with the Cricut Maker 3, and I have to say it’s actually a fairly impressive upgrade. Coming from the original Maker, which was already quite impressive, the Maker 3 could very easily be an upgrade that many at-home crafters make. From the introduction of the new Smart Materials to other upgrades like faster cutting, the Maker 3 helps at-home crafting become much easier. So, should you buy or upgrade? Let’s take a closer look in our hands-on review of the Cricut Maker 3.

We first looked at the wired version of the Model D back in March of last year and then the wireless Model O in February of this year.
