The Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 might be getting all the attention today, but there’s one more thing that deserves a little spotlight, too: the Nexus Player. Kiss the horrible Google TV of yore goodbye and say hello to the Nexus Player, Google’s Android TV set-top box. Designed to go […]
Along with today’s Nexus 6 announcement, Google also took the wraps off the Nexus 9. Designed by HTC, the Nexus 9 is Google’s new flagship tablet running the Android 5.0 Lollipop. The metal tablet with soft touch rear features an 8.9-inch IPS display with a 2048 x 1536 (4:3 aspect […]
Go big or go home, right? Google’s new Nexus 6 is a second-generation Moto X on ‘roids. This is one Android smartphone that won’t fit in your pocket unless you’re sized like Shaq. The 10mm-thick Nexus 6 has a 5.96-inch display with a Quad HD (2560 x 1440 resolution) display […]
Chromebooks are taking over the world. (They’re biting into Windows-based PC sales more than ever.) Acer’s C720 is a 2.8 pound Chromebook with an 11.6-inch (1366 x 768 resolution) display meant for users who need more power for basic tasks. The C720 leaps ahead of its competition in size and […]
While we’re enamored by the Withings Activité Fitness Watch, we understand that you may want something that’s more than just a fitness tracker.

Chromebooks have come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2011. Now that Chrome OS is mature enough and Google’s suite of online apps capable enough, there’s really no turning back to Windows 8 if all you want is a good Internet-ready notebook for a few hundred bucks. The […]
Google Glass is still remarkable technology. It’s essentially a smartphone on your face. It has its shortcomings such as weak battery life, lack of apps (developers are just starting to create them) and the fact that it’s still a prototype and isn’t available for consumers to buy yet. The one […]
Google’s Chromebook initiative has always been somewhat of a weak spot in the company’s portfolio. Instead of running Windows or even Linux, Chromebooks run Chrome OS, which is really just the Chrome web browser with added app functionality. Chromebook’s pitch is this: the most used app on a computer is […]
Like Nexus 5, the Nexus 7 tablet is one of the most affordable Google-backed devices ever created. It’s no iPad mini, but it’s more than capable for only $229. Compared to last year’s model, the new Nexus 7 is slimmer and lighter thanks to a reduction in bezels. The 7-inch […]
Motorola’s hitting Apple and Samsung where it hurts: pricing. The colorful, made in the U.S., Moto X was just the start. The company’s new Moto G is priced to destroy the iPhone 5c. For $179, you’ll get an unlocked Android 4.3 Jelly Bean device with a 4.5-inch display (1280 x […]
Nexus-branded smartphones are different from your Samsung Galaxy and Sony Xperia devices for one reason: they’re made in tight collaboration with Google.
