Pixel Watch 2 vs OnePlus Watch 2 vs TicWatch Enduro Long Term Comparison: The “OTHER” Wear OS Smartwatches!

If you’re shopping a full featured smartwatch (especially in North America) chances are pretty good the bulk of sales are going to Apple and Samsung. However, if you want more features than on a fitness tracking watch, there are a handful of other players to consider.

The Other Brands

We’re going to take a look at three players for this comparison:

These are premium options, that each run a full build of Wear OS (built on Android), and are capable of installing a wide variety of apps. They differ from fitness tracking watches in having more robust software and better support for rich notifications and replies.

Surface Laptop 7 Review: Don’t Buy it for the AI…

Surface Laptop 7 Review!

The AI is the LEAST interesting part of all these new PC’s. Spending a month with the Surface Laptop, it’s been refreshingly well behaved. Taking it on an international trip, and then using it while recovering from Covid, it’s maybe the best Windows laptop I’ve ever used. It delivers on some key promises that I think a LOT of consumers will appreciate. There are precious few compromises asked of the user for switching to an ARM architecture.

So why all the gnashing of teeth? Why are so many tech bros trying to find deal breakers?

When will AMD and Intel launch actual competitors for X Elite? Continue reading “Surface Laptop 7 Review: Don’t Buy it for the AI…”
