The TCL QM9K is an excellent flagship TV, but I’m not sure who it’s for

8

Verge Score

The QM9K takes aim at high-end competitors, but ends up competing against its cheaper sibling.

My friend who’s never flown a drone had a blast with the Antigravity A1.

I don’t have a full review of this awesome drone today, but I can’t get over how easy it is to fly (once you power everything on)! I’ve updated my story with some pros, cons, a few key specs, pricing and price comparisons, and impressions from other reviewers now that the embargo has lifted.

Today I’m toying with the OhSnap MCON.

The viral sliding gamepad designed by a 19-year-old is nearly here — with big differences from last year! Satisfying snap, nice controls, pairs with lots of devices including Switch 2. But it’s $150, and thick. I also had slightly peeling magnets, but Ohsnap says that’s fixed for mass production.

I tested 30 smart locks, and these are the best

Never get locked out again with a smart lock you can control from your phone, with your face, or with a fingerprint.

The Nikon ZR gets surprisingly close to a real RED camera (for a lot less money)

Verge Score

Despite missing some truly professional features, the Nikon ZR delivers the core of what makes RED cameras great for a fraction of the price

So, you want a robot vacuum.

You’re in luck. I just published a big update to my robot vacuum buying guide following months of testing dozens of new bots. Plus, this week is the best time of year to buy a floor-cleaning machine, as they’re seeing major discounts ahead of Black Friday. (Well, all except my top pick!).

Steam Frame vs. Meta Quest 3.

I brought our Quest 3 to Valve’s offices just in case we’d be seeing the Steam Frame, formerly known as Deckard — and it paid off! I didn’t have time to directly compare optics, but I’d say comfort is superior. It’s noticeably smaller, with controllers that are bigger.

Up close with the Steam Machine and Steam Controller.

Since people seem interested on our social media channels: Valve really does have a giant valve at HQ! A huge red wheel that spins in place on a huge screw, anyhow. It’s fun to throw, heavy, lots of inertia keeps it spinning. No word on what happens if you let the Steam out.
