The new Samsung SSD 990 EVO—first announced on January 23, 2024—is a special PCIe 5.0 NVMe internal SSD that is actually more of a PCIe 4.0 drive. This dual-mode approach seems odd at first, but it makes quite a bit of sense. In fact, it’s great for the most part. …
Linksys’s first Wi-Fi 7 hardware, the Velop Pro 7 BE11000, sure is sexy. It comes in a legit “designer” look. I’ll be generous and call it gorgeous. The new hardware has enough to easily pass that “wife acceptance” requirement, often out-of-reach for nerds and geeks. (You know who you are!) …
It took me a while to evaluate the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS700S BE19000 Wi-Fi 7 router. The router’s actual model is RS700, as printed on its underside and shown in the mobile app and web interface. The “S” signifies that it comes with a one-year trial of NETGEAR Armor. At $699.99, …

The TP-Link Deco BE85 is the first Wi-Fi 7 mesh system on the market, and consists of multiple identical mesh-enabled routers. At the retail price of $1,299.99 for a 3-pack (or $400 less for a 2-pack)—the street price varies and often includes discounts—the TP-Link Deco BE85 is an excellent buy …
Suppose you ask the tech world post-CES what the year 2024 is going to be big on. The answer is likely artificial intelligence, electric cars, solar power, seethrough TV screens, and, of course, (killer) robots (which are basically machines with AI.) And that’s understandable. Those are fancy items. They are …
