LG’s StanbyME Go is the most Inspector Gadget-esque product I’ve ever reviewed: It’s a 27-inch touchscreen TV housed (and protected) in a large, military-grade briefcase, with an integrated sound system, HDMI connectivity, and the same webOS software that runs on the company’s regular TVs. In theory, you could take it anywhere, but at 28 pounds, the StanbyME Go is far from light luggage, and it’s a stretch to call it portable. It’s fine for road trips, but I wouldn’t dare bring it on a plane. First, I didn’t want to go through TSA with this Mission Impossible-like gadget in my…

Amazon announced Astro as a home robot in September 2021, but this version of the device is still only available as an invite-only preview for $1,600.

After much deliberation, a new laptop arrived on my doorstep last week.Well, “new” might be an understatement: it’s a svelte Chromebook called the Pixelbook, and it’s been around for almost seven years.I ordered it for a few reasons: it’s one of the best-looking computers I’ve ever seen at work, and I found a good deal (the Pixelbook was $1,649 at launch, and I paid about a tenth of that.)
