Meta Ray-Bans are one of the most fascinating new pieces of lifestyle tech I've encountered in years -- when I'm wearing them, that is. I don't always have my black Meta Ray-Bans on my face, and there's a good reason for that. Battery life isn't good enough, and it's getting worse over time. On a recent trip to the UK, I wore them to the beach and got a low-battery warning after just one long walk in the tide pools.

The jump to the Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs and the avalanche of tariff woes make our gaming gadgets more costly for only marginal performance gains.
