The hinge mechanism has been refined through six generations of engineering and it's great: Samsung reduced the crease visibility significantly compared to previous models, though you'll still feel it slightly when running your finger across the center. The JetBlack finish resists fingerprints better than glossy alternatives, and the Armor Aluminum frame adds durability without excessive weight.

When the Epomaker P75 launched last year, it impressed us with its build quality and laundry list of features, especially for a board that retails for less than $100.

It also features two displays, specifically a 7-inch 1224p inner display that unfolds and a 4-inch 1080p outer screen that's perfect
If you're an Apple die-hard, we assume you have most of the tech giant's flagship devices by your side already. Most of us have iPhones and MacBooks, but not everyone has taken the leap and added a tablet into the mix. If you want to be one of those people, you should really take advantage of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale, because the retailer is offering a really big discount on the pint-sized version of Apple's critically acclaimed tablet.
If you've ever thought "it'd sure be nice to have just one controller to use between my phone, tablet, and TV," then the Backbone Pro might be made for you. Backbone's newest gamepad has the same phone-hugging design as its 2020 predecessor, but comes with a handful of distinct features - the most notable being that it can be paired via Bluetooth to any number of devices, not just phones.
