Dell 14 Premium, Framework Desktop, Sony Theater Bar 6 and more

With a barrage of the new Apple and Google devices for the corner, our review team wipes new product offices before starting the flood before falling. There is a good mixture of in -depth tests this time, including a detailed preview of Watchos 26 experiences and more VPN. It started on the weekend by catching all the reviews that you have missed in the past few weeks of Engadget.

Del 14 beloved

Although we are still trying to wrap our heads about the decision of the Dell naming scheme, the company continues to remove new devices. The latest senior review office, Sam Radford, was Dell 14 Premium. You may remember this model as XPS 14, and according to SAM, Dell kept the “DNA” that made previous versions some of the best laptops that you can buy. “Even with a new and somewhat inspiring name, it may not be a surprise that the Dell 14 installment is still one of the best Windows laptops on the market,” he said. “It contains the same elegant design from the back when it was still called XPS 14, but with some refreshing specifications and components for 2025.”

Frame desktop (2025)

The first desktop for Framework is strong and effective. But it is not normative, or repaired like a regular computer.

Positives

• APU strong
• Small and effective
• Easy to prepare and use
• Compatible with other MINI-ITX cases

cons

• APU and RAM welded on the main plate
• Repair

Framework is famous for the repairable standard laptops, but the company has now tried its hand to bring the same format to the desktop. Unfortunately, the first attempt is almost almost or repaired like a regular computer, according to a great editor Daniel Cooper. He explained: “The framework was open about the fact that it was something closer to a side project, outside its usual jurisdiction to build normative laptops, based on a very exciting segment.” “So, while I think everyone’s approach in one is a backward step compared to regular computers, I get the logical basis to do this here.”

Sony Bravia Bar 6 Theater

Sony

Sony Midbar Soundbar provides an impressive sound that pushes the limits of the 3.1.2 channel formation. However, the lack of Wi-Fi leaves main features outside the specifications paper.

Positives

• Clean, low -level design
• The full sound is very clear
• A dedicated speaker to improve dialogue

cons

• It does not support AirPlay, ChromeCast, or Spotify Connect
• The loudspeaker is a little exorbitant
• The updates require the entry of a thumb engine

The Soundbars crop has finally arrived for this year during the summer, so I was spending a lot of time with home theater speakers recently. The latest was Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 6, a mixture of Soundbar/Sprofer, which is located in the middle of the company’s current assortment. Despite the performance of sound and great dialogue, caveats here are real deals. “The lack of Wi-Fi on a $ 650 audio tape is absurd, mostly because it directs the users of broadcasting, chromium and other wireless contact options.” “I also cannot overcome the need to use a thumb drive to get updates when you download OTA for new fixed programs is the base on the sound tapes for years.”

Lenovo Thinkpad X9-14 Aura Edition

Engadget

Thinkpad X9-14 Aura Edition is the latest Lenovo laptop for X1 Carbon throne through its superior design, amazing screen, and long battery life. But the soft keyboard and the absence of a USB-A port re-restores it.

Positives

• Stylish, super design
• Wonderful OLED screen
• Good round amplifiers
• Strong performance for informal use
• Long battery life

cons

• No USB Type-A
• The soft keyboard
• Price for specifications

$ 1,090 in Lenovo

Lenovo Thinkpads are famous laptop computers, and X9-14 is the latest in a long series of business machines. The shareholder, Rami Tabari, explains that this model provides a lot of characteristics that make Thinkpads great, but the price, the low -energy CPU and the SUBPAR keyboard leave something required. “I cannot justify the ordinary consumer that pays $ 1,283 for ThinkPad X9-14 with the specifications you find in laptops that cost hundreds of dollars less (minus RAM, of course).” “For small business owners, I recommend awaiting the sale or thinking about a more marketed laptop computer (again, ASUS Expertbook P5 (P5405) is a great choice).”

Watchos 26 Preview and Norton VPN Review

We quickly get close to the arrival of a new set of Apple Watches, so I spent Amy Skorheim, a counseling correspondence, from the major purchases. Its favorite new features are an artificial intelligence experimenting partner and added gestures, but she made it clear that small things that make this annual reform worth it.

Meanwhile, the first writer Sam Chapman returned to VPNS to test the Norton version as an independent application. Although this service is not necessarily bad, it also does not provide enough to height over the pile that includes Expressvpn, Surfshark and others. “After a week of working with Norton VPN, I must conclude that the only way it distinguishes is Norton’s name,” he said. “Everything else, the opponent does this better.”
