Whether you want a leather case, a waterproof case, or something funky, there's an AirPods Pro case for you.
Back in 2019, Apple revealed the first AirPods Pro model, featuring a compact build, Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) support, and much more. And even though the company refreshed these wireless earbuds in 2022, the first-gen variant is still a solid choice. However, a common complaint across all AirPods charging cases is how prone to scratches they are. That's why a protective case is an essential investment. Not only can it protect your AirPods from scratches and drops, but it can help when exposed to the elements. To help you out, we've compiled a list of the best AirPods Pro cases currently available.
The iPhone SE 3 is great and affordable but doesn't come with a charger in the box. Here are some of the best options to top off your phone.
Apple is keeping with its affordable phone line with the iPhone SE 3, which packs boosted internals in a classic chassis. What many people don't know about it is that its box doesn't include a charger. You get a charging cable, but nothing to plug it into. So if you buy an iPhone SE 3, you will have to separately get accessories like a case, screen protector, and charger. To help you out, we've compiled a list of the best chargers and charging cables currently available for the iPhone SE 3.
Here are a few ways in which Samsung can make its clamshell foldable better with the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Samsung's foldable phones have evolved a lot over the years, and they're no longer just an expensive experiment. In fact, both Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are two of the best foldable phones you can buy on the market right now. However, that doesn't mean they're flawless devices. They're both easy to recommend compared to many others out there — and they're some of the only foldables available in the U.S. — but they're at least one generation shy of truly hitting their stride. 2023 will be a big year for foldables, and we hope Samsung addresses some shortcomings to deliver a considerably better user experience.

Deciding which computer to buy next can be confusing, especially when you're investing a big sum of money in your device. There are plenty of decent Macs and laptops out there, including some ThinkPad notebooks — deciding which one is right for you can be confusing.

Looking for a solid screen protector for the Apple Watch Series 7? We have compiled a list of the best screen protectors you can find right now.
Back in 2021, the great iPhone maker expanded the Apple Watch family by introducing the Series 7 model. A year later, the company launched the Apple Watch Series 8, featuring the same display sizes and chassis. Nonetheless, it did introduce some minor internal tweaks in the process, such as crash detection and the body temperature monitor. One of the several aspects these two smartwatches share is the round, scratch-prone display. Any bump towards a wall or hard object can scratch or, worse, shatter these screens. After all, they're not flat, and they don't have any raised protective bezels. That's why it's a smart idea to protect your Apple Watch with a screen protector. To help you find the right pick, we've chosen some of the best options currently available. They all come in 41mm and 45mm variants, so no matter which Apple Watch Series 7 model you have, they'll fit perfectly. These same options will also work on the Series 8 models if that's what you've got.
The Apple Watch SE 2 is an affordable smartwatch. Is it waterproof, though? Should you swim or shower while wearing it? Let's find out.
Let's start by clearing a common misconception. Many of the tech products you use are water-resistant, not waterproof. This means they resist certain liquids under different conditions. Notably, though, this resistance wears down over time. So just because a device is water-resistant when it's new doesn't mean it'll remain so down the road. Thus, avoid unnecessary water or liquid exposure.
Since 2015, Apple has released watches in several different sizes. So can you use older watch bands on the Apple Watch SE 2 model? Let's unpack!
Since the original Apple Watch, the company has released models in six different sizes (excluding the 49mm Apple Watch Ultra variant). You've got 38mm, 40mm, 41mm, 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm models. In terms of band compatibility, you should know about two size groups. The first includes 38mm, 40mm, and 41mm watches, while the second contains 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm watches.
The Apple Watch Series 8 is available in 41mm and 45mm variants. Does this mean it supports older watch bands? Let's find out.
Since 2015, the Cupertino firm has released six different Apple Watch sizes (excluding the Apple Watch Ultra's 49mm): 38mm, 40mm, 41mm, 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm. The Apple Watch Series 8 is only available in 41mm and 45mm variants. If you have a band from an older model, it could work — depending on whether the size groups match or not. 38mm, 40mm, and 41mm watch bands are compatible with each other. Similarly, 42mm, 44mm, and 45mm bands are also compatible with each other. So if you have a band for 40mm Apple Watch and have bought the 45mm Apple Watch Series 8, the band simply won't be compatible. However, a 42mm older band would work with this watch just fine.

Looking for a new music player app? Check out our round-up of the music apps you should use on your Android phone!
It feels like we've been able to carry our music with us wherever we go for as long as we can remember. Back in the day, it was Walkman and MP3 music players that allowed us to take our tunes with us. Fast forward to today, and our smartphones have taken up the mantle of portable music players, offering us access to nearly any song we can think of at the touch of a button. However, the music player that comes pre-installed on your phone may not always be the best way to listen to your favorite tunes.
We've rounded up every major PC that supports the Windows 11 upgrade so you can find out if yours is compatible, or buy one that is.
Windows 11 is over a year old, but it's still fresh in our minds and many of us haven't upgraded yet. After all, it's an optional update, and with some drastic changes to the system requirements, especially when it comes to the CPUs that support Windows 11, a lot of us just can't upgrade. But that's just the thing; if you have an older PC, you may be wondering whether it can be upgraded to Windows 11
If you're in the market to buy the best budget graphics cards in 2023, then here are some great options to consider.
Recent years have been tough for people buying GPUs on a budget; it was true in 2020, and it's still true today. AMD and Nvidia just don't offer good value cards like they used to. Still, there are some decent options in the $100 to $300 range for the value-conscious PC user. These graphics cards are far from being the best, but they'll do well enough for 1080p and even in some cases 1440p gaming at a good framerate.
If you're spending over $1,000 buying this tablet, you'll want to protect it. Here are the best iPad Pro cases.
In late 2022, Apple launched an M2-powered iPad Pro in 11-inch and 12.9-inch variants. This time around, the company didn't change much, apart from bumping the chip from M1 to M2 and introducing an Apple Pencil hover feature. Other than those tweaks, this tablet retains pretty much all of the technical specifications of its predecessor. This means that the dimensions are identical, thus cases designed for the 2021 model will work perfectly on the 2022 variant, and vice versa. And considering its high price tag, you really should invest in a case. Otherwise, a single drop could cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. To simplify the process for you, we've picked some of the best iPad Pro 12.9-inch cases currently available.
