13 Best Laptops of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Other Good Laptops We’ve Tested Dell 14 Plus Photograph: Luke Larsen Dell 14 Plus for $1,100: This is the first laptop in Dell's major rebranding effort, and this one is a follow-up to the Dell Inspiron Plus 14. The Dell 14 Plus (6/10, WIRED Review) is a solidly midrange laptop, meaning it sports a clean but generic design and solid performance, without some of the bells and whistles that make laptops feel premium. The IPS screen is decent, as is the performance and battery life. The only real

$100 Hamburger

Aviation slang $100 hamburger ("hundred-dollar hamburger") is aviation slang for the excuse a general aviation pilot might use to fly.[1][2] Background [ edit ] A $100 hamburger trip typically involves flying a short distance (less than two hours), eating at an airport restaurant, and then flying home. "$100" originally referred to the approximate cost of renting or operating a light general aviation aircraft, such as a Cessna 172, for the time it took to fly round-trip to a nearby airport. H

The international standard for identifying postal items

The Universal Postal Union's S10 standard, in all its glory Have you ever received a parcel from overseas? I did recently, from Switzerland! Looking at the envelope, I realised the format of the tracking number ( UT038926726CH ) was in a very similar (if not identical) format to ones I'd used frequently here in the UK. I'd been receiving emails from Royal Mail about the parcel, so I just presumed that there was some data-sharing agreement in place with Swiss Post and Royal Mail had just given

Has the Pixel battery drama ruined your perception of Google’s phones?

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. The Google Pixel series is regarded by many as the pinnacle of the Android experience, offering excellent imaging smarts and plenty of AI features under the hood.

Google won’t be showing the Pixel 10 to Superfans this month, after all

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google invited Pixel Superfans to apply for a chance to experience “pre-release Pixel devices” at a June 27 event. The company is now telling them that due to “unforeseen circumstances” it’s planning a September 4 event. It’s unclear if release plans have been affected any, but the last leak we’ve seen points to a mid-August launch. Google’s Pixel 10 smartphones are on their way, and other than feeling a wee bit nervous about Pixel batteries in genera

Sony WH-1000XM6 vs. Bose QuietComfort Ultra: Which Is Best?

Every couple of years, Bose and Sony trade blows in an effort to claim the title of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. Until recently, Bose's QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) had the edge, offering world-crushing cancellation that bested Sony's still-great WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) and other top models from the likes of JBL, Sonos, and Apple. Now, Sony's back with its latest WH-1000 model, the predictably titled WH-1000XM6 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The new pai

How I used this portable, ink-free printer to declutter my workstation (and it's 60% off)

ZDNET's key takeaways This battery-powered printer is perfect for taking on the road, and it connects to devices using Bluetooth or USB Thermal printing means there are no ink cartridges to replace, but the downside is the printer cannot use regular paper Installing the Windows and Mac drivers is a bit painful and unintuitive. $69.91 at Amazon I like to joke that whenever someone asks me if I own a printer, I say, "I don't need one where I live." When they inevitably ask where that is, I repl

I replaced my Kindle and iPad within hours of using this tablet (and it's on sale)

ZDNET's key takeaways The TCL Tab 10 Nxtpaper 5G is a full-color, color paper, and ink paper tablet available at Verizon for $239. It's a great entertainment tablet for daily use that also functions very well as an e-reader. Although the screen is versatile, don't expect the graphics to compare to those on an iPad or other high-end tablets. View now at Verizon Reading has always been my favorite way to unwind before bed, and for 13 years, Kindles were my go-to e-readers. But after trying TCL'

Pomera's typewriter smashes crowdfunding target, brings distraction-free writing to the US

Something to look forward to: Another device is joining the list of distraction-free digital typewriters. The Pomera D250 has been available in Japan since 2022, where it's proven very popular. Now, thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, it's coming to the US for writers who prefer not having the entire internet distracting them. There have been numerous Pomera models since the first was released in 2008, and the DM-250 is said to be the best yet. As with other devices of this ilk, the

Netflix's 'Leaving Soon' Label Is Enough to Give Some Very Random Titles a Major Boost

Every week, Netflix reveals its Top 10 lists, ranking its most-viewed movies and TV shows. While many of these top titles are expected, others can surprise; here's where we try to make sense of those seemingly random hits. "I read this post on Reddit" is always a risky way to start a conversation, but here I go… I recently saw a Reddit thread from a few years ago where a poster suggested that Netflix create an entire category on its homepage to showcase content that's leaving the platform soon.
