Ultimate Ears Everboom review: A floatable outdoor speaker that packs a punch

There’s a lot to like, but audio performance won’t wow the purists.

Small enough to haul easily, yet loud enough to power a party, the Everboom checks a lot of boxes for a UE speaker.

GoPro Hero 13 Black

The GoPro Hero 13’s biggest upgrades are on the outside

Interchangeable lenses, a magnetic mount, but very similar to its predecessor.

GoPro’s latest action cam offers more versatility and features aimed at high-level users who’ve probably owned a GoPro or two for years. GPS is back, the battery is bigger, and slow-motion capture and other features have been upgraded, but the big news might be outside of the camera unit itself.

Dell XPS 13 Copilot+ review: A capable AI PC, but Windows on Arm issues remain

You'll still have to deal with compatibility problems and the XPS 13's design quirks.

The XPS 13 is a capable and stylish Copilot+ PC, but it’s still slower than the Intel model at times and doesn’t run some games and apps. Battery life is also surprisingly average.
