I would love a technology that eliminates most of the cables we are used to and we'll have to wait and see the kind of innovation that Samsung will develop. I totally don't mind any kind of tools that get rid of the wires, as long as the overall... See more

I'm sure that's the least we all expect. Samsung will probably release a full package of all the necessary hardware required to make this work which ensures the compatibility and easy installation. I can't wait for this product to hit the... See more

I'm curious about why the transfer speed matters that much to you. The storage size and durability are arguably the most important features, but maybe there are some things I overlook.

That's a fine selection by FitBit. I'm sure many will appreciate the fresh new colors and lower prices! FitBit has been doing pretty well in the smartwatch industry. Going against those big companies with quality products will definitely help... See more

What does the law say about this kind of product? If consumers only use the button to buy regular household items such as the ones mentioned in the article, it seems like the tool saves us from unnecessary trips to the store.

What's with all the watches these days? They seem be rising in popularity, even though I don't know a single person who owns one.
Archie
You're definitely not the only one. I'm mostly interested in the new ideas these smartwatches are exploring. Maybe one day we can watch TV on our wrists! With the way technology evolves these days, we never know.

I'd say the size and shape of the charger are also important, especially if you bring it around often. Thanks for the helpful article. I'm going to review it once again when I'm ready to buy one. At this point, I think it's too much a luxury... See more

I suppose Apple has not perfected the AirPods or AirPower yet. This announcement would have been unnecessary if the latter had been released sooner. At any rate, this would probably boost people's interest in the new AirPods themselves, so it... See more

I think it's ridiculous that the reason behind regional streaming is so a show will retain higher value in the area where it's popular. The viewer has to suffer the inconvenience so the studio can make big bucks.
Archie
Well, the entertainment industry is still a business. The companies can only make profits when there is demand, and demand won't be there if the platform allows VPN. It's up to each user how they want to handle their online identity as there are... See more

It looks beautiful! If it performs as good as S8 or S9, I think it will be a win already, especially if we are upgrading from a much older version. Why didn't we think of doing this sooner?

This is quite a great read. Throwing out the devices I no longer use is the most challenging part. I'm not sure what is the safest way to do it for things I can't simply trade in like phones, so I end up dedicating a corner of my room for my old... See more

It feels like we won't be able to buy the large screens without special discounts or deals like this, so I'd grab it if I were you. Checking the TV directly and comparing the image sharpness is the best way to decide its quality. The brand name... See more

For some reasons, I didn't realize that Apple was still using the LCD display. The XR is probably the last of the LCD line. It's a welcomed change, and now I wonder how different their phones will be. Are we getting something like Galaxy S10... See more

I'm not entirely sure about the technical details, but I think the speed of your computer depends on your CPU power and the processor. With Apple, even though we may not always get the latest items on the market, they know how to put things... See more

GamerGlitter
People who are looking for a bargain will buy Chrome; people who are seeking affordability will buy Windows.  Do you think Apple is hoping to turn some of those people into Mac users instead?
Archie
There are also those who will stick to Apple and the Macs for a long time. Compatibility between Apple devices is also a selling point for some. Affordability is important, but even Apple's cheapest devices are still above their competitors,... See more

Archie
It doesn't look like an attempt to further understand the market to me. I'm not entirely sure, but I think outsourcing is cheaper than working on the phones by themselves. I think they are kind of giving up winning the market in China.
Archie
Good question. Samsung should work hard on the quality especially after the incidents with their previous phones. I'm sure the outsourcing company meets their quality standard, but I'm still worried as a consumer. Only time can tell if this is a... See more

TimmyZ
This is good news indeed about the low price. I never thought Apple would do this. Maybe they are learning how economics work. We will have to wait and see if this will be true.

It does look like Apple is trying a different approach this year. We have the expensive iPhone XS and XS Max, but we also have XR. We have the expensive MacBook Pro, but we will have MacBook Air soon. In spite of the cheaper prices, their... See more

I don't think review articles often mention customer service as it differs from one region to another. We assume that the support is excellent in China, but how is it doing in other Asian countries and in the US? In this case, maybe no news is... See more

I guess they want to try a new color that doesn't stand out too much, but now it's not strong enough. The green-toned mint version sounds fresh and pretty as long as they don't make it as pale as the pink sand. Colors do matter to me because... See more

I'm a dedicated iPhone user, but it's interesting to see how Google has created product tiers depending on budget.  It reminds me of Amazon's move to produce tablets in the same manner.  I wonder how it will work out.

It does seem successful. Almost all of the brands other than Apple is using Android as the basic operating system with some extra elements. We also get to see how they perform with those extra contents: your phone will probably start lagging... See more

I think smart devices such as these are fun, but the novelty wears off quickly and it's easier to just do things myself than it is to tell Alexa.

I do feel the same. I don't think we will really get to the point of saying what we want to do and have the AI answers for us. Voice control sounds neat and helpful in some ways, but I'm doing fine with the manual microwave so far.

We can't be getting another Note since Note 9 has just been released, and I don't think that S10 is anywhere near ready. What do you think about the tagline? If we associate fun with games, can it be a new tablet for entertainment purpose?
