Formula V Line is a name most US builders probably haven’t run into yet, and that’s about to change. The Taiwan-based brand just made its US market debut with the Air Power G10, a mid-tower ATX case that first showed up as a preview at Computex 2026 and is now actually something you can buy. The hook is simple, and it’s one I’m surprised more case makers haven’t tried: the three front intake fans don’t just sit flat against the chassis. Each of those front fans mounts on its own adjustable bracket, and each one can be set independently at…
Sonnet just announced the Solo10G T5, and it’s going after a surprisingly common gap. Plenty of modern laptops, Mac minis, and even the beefier M-series iPad Pros still don’t have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port built in, even though Thunderbolt 5 and USB4 are everywhere now. The Solo10G T5 is Sonnet’s answer, and the company’s calling it the industry’s first bus-powered Thunderbolt 5 to 10GbE adapter with NBASE-T support, which is a mouthful, but the short version is: it adds a proper wired 10-gig Ethernet port to basically any modern Thunderbolt or USB4 machine. The headline spec here isn’t the…
Epson is expanding its Home Cinema lineup again, and this time it’s doing it with three projectors at once. The new Home Cinema LS5000, LS6000, and LS7500 slot in underneath the existing flagship LS11000, giving buyers a wider spread of brightness, price, and installation options without having to jump straight to the $4,499.99 top-end model. All three of the new models share the same foundation: Epson’s 3-Chip 3LCD projection engine, driven by a laser diode array light source and backed by an Epson Picture Processor. That architecture is worth calling out on its own, since 3-chip 3LCD sidesteps the “rainbow…
Just when you thought the AI hardware experiment was over, Meta is stepping into the ring. Mark Zuckerberg closed out Meta Connect 2026 with a “one more thing,” the Muse Charm, a pocket-sized gadget that puts the company’s personalized AI assistant in the palm of your hand. It looks a lot like a Tamagotchi, except instead of feeding a digital pet, you’re chatting with an AI. Basically, the Charm is a keychain-sized device with a two-inch screen filled by a customizable cartoon character. To start a conversation, you just tap a fingerprint sensor in the corner, and the avatar on…
Unveiled at Meta Connect 2026, the $1,299 device swaps a bulky headset for a pair of glasses tethered to an external compute puck — and it’s not arriving until spring. Meta used its Connect keynote to unveil what might be the company’s biggest departure yet from the traditional VR headset shape. Called simply Meta VR Glasses, the device weighs around 100 grams — about the weight of a deck of cards, and by Meta’s count, roughly five times lighter than a Quest 3 — by offloading the processor, battery, and storage into a separate compute module that clips to your…
Apple’s been quietly working on a smart home display for years now, first rumored back in 2022, delayed out of spring 2025, then pushed again out of spring 2026. But the last few weeks of reporting from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggest the wait might actually be almost over, and the device sounds a lot more interesting than “iPad stuck to a speaker.” Internally code-named J490, the hub is reportedly being tested widely in Apple employees’ homes right now, which is usually a sign a launch is genuinely close rather than still years out. Design-wise, it’s expected to land somewhere between…
The new Connectors feature turns the cabin into a hands-free workstation, while a separate Grok Bot mode can handle multi-step errands for SuperGrok Heavy subscribers. Tesla just gave Grok its biggest capability jump yet inside the cabin. The company announced on X that Grok can now tap into external accounts through a new feature called Connectors, letting drivers manage their email, tidy up their calendar, or sift through existing files and chat threads, all without touching a screen. Setup is straightforward: open the Grok app in the car, tap the plus icon, select “New Connector,” pick a service, and sign…
Bambu Lab built its reputation on 3D printers that took a process full of tuning and calibration headaches and made it something a normal person could just run. Today, the company did something it’s never done before: it launched a product that isn’t a 3D printer at all. Meet the R1, a standalone 55W CO2 laser cutter and engraver, and Bambu’s first real step outside the printer category since it started. If you’ve been paying attention to Bambu’s H2D printer, you already know they’ve dabbled in lasers before. That machine ships with an optional 40W diode laser module bolted onto…
GameSir just announced something that’s going to catch the eye of any Fortnite player who’s tired of tapping a touchscreen. The gaming peripheral brand has officially partnered with Epic’s mega-hit to launch a collection of Fortnite-branded mobile controllers, and it’s leading off with two models built for very different kinds of players. Basically, the collection kicks off with the GameSir G8 Plus Fortnite Edition and the GameSir X5 Lite for XBOX Fortnite Edition. The G8 Plus is being positioned as the flagship option, aimed at players who want console-level performance on the go. It comes with Hall Effect sticks (which…
JBL has officially launched the Pulse 6, the newest entry in its long-running lineup of Bluetooth speakers that double as ambient light shows. It’s a $329.95 speaker — $80 more than the Pulse 5 cost at launch — that keeps the series’ signature 360-degree lightshow while adding a new illuminated carrying handle, built from what JBL says is 93 percent recycled metal, giving the whole thing a lantern-like look. The lighting is still the headline act here, as it’s been since the Pulse series debuted back in 2013. The Pulse 6 ships with 16 total themes managed through the JBL…
