We previously suspected the pro machine would be very much like the current-generation model, just with even more powerful internals, which still appears to be the case, and Sony is now priming developers to ready titles for the console (or ensure existing games are ready to take advantage of the added horsepower).

KeySmart, a brand perhaps best known for its Apple Find My key organizers, launched its SmartCard tracker last fall, and I was immediately intrigued. Many of the options in the Apple Find My-equipped, credit card-sized tracker category don’t feature wireless charging, if they even can be recharged at all, but KeySmart’s does. In fact, the brand claims to have the only wireless charging model on the market, as well as the thinnest at just 2mm, and it’s time to see if it’s worth the price of entry (spoiler alert, it very much is). My hands-on impressions are waiting down below.

A new king of summer speakers has been crowned. Sony just revealed the new ULT Field 1 portable speaker and I’ve been using it for the past few weeks.

The new ZAGG Desk Mat with wireless charging is very much what it sounds like, pulling from some of the design sensibilities of its 4-in-1 charging mat (currently on sale at $60 off), and expanding it out into a full-size desk mat for your work surface with a built-in wireless charging pad. Now available for purchase at Amazon for $49.99, you can get a complete breakdown of what it can bring to the table down below.
