Whether it’s YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu, why stream video content on your phone when you can watch on your much bigger TV? With a Fire TV Stick, you can turn any TV into one that can stream movies and TV shows. And right now, the Fire TV Stick is on sale for $25 at Amazon, which is a real bargain compared to its normal $40 price. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick is nothing more than a tiny little device that looks like a flash drive. You plug it into your TV’s HDMI port, then power it by connecting to a power outlet using the included USB cable. Then, connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Done! Once plugged in, you can use the included remote control to navigate the Fire TV Stick’s features. Namely, that means access to dozens of popular platforms, like Netflix, Disney+, Max, and YouTube. The Fire TV Stick can also access live TV, news, and sports through live streaming services — perfect for anyone who’s been thinking of cutting the cord. You can also stream 300,000+ free movies and TV shows via Tubi, Pluto, and more. That’s a lot of content! And the remote is pretty cool. It has Alexa built in, so all you have to do is press the Alexa button before issuing a voice command. With Alexa Voice Remote, you can do things like audibly search for content across apps. The experts at our sister site TechHive reviewed the Amazon Fire TV Stick and liked that it delivers solid HD performance, especially for a device at this price point. (Note that the Fire TV Stick Lite is also on sale for less, but the remote for that one is missing a dedicated volume control button. It’s worth paying a little extra for it. Seriously. Don’t be tempted.) If you want to stream on your TV, grab this $25 Amazon Fire TV Stick while you still can. Or, if you want 4K content and the ability to play Xbox games without an Xbox console, get the Fire TV Stick 4K Max on sale! The Fire TV Stick is a great pick at this priceBuy now on Amazon Read...

There’s no such thing as storage that’s too fast — but there is storage that’s so fast you can’t even utilize it to its maximum hardware potential. Such is the case for Lexar’s newest SD card. Lexar’s Professional Gold Pro SDXC Express Card uses the new Secure Digital 8.0 standard and sports a maximum write speed of 1GB/s and a maximum read speed of 1.7GB/s. But good luck actually getting those speeds because no current devices actually go that fast. To be clear, you can still buy and use the Lexar Adjective Adjective Adjective Acronym Adjective Card in anything with a standard SD card slot. (That’s the one that’s about the size of a US postage stamp, popular in high-end cameras.) But there are no cameras, computers, or even external card readers that can match its maximum speed, despite the standard being finalized back in May of 2020. The SD Association is currently working on version 9.1. If you’re wondering who needs that kind of ludicrous speed for a card, the answer is photographers and videographers who work with massive amounts of video footage at up to 8K resolution. Even if they can’t actually max out the card’s speed with current equipment, it might make sense to invest in one knowing that future hardware will likely get there. For everyone else just looking for speed and capacity, a portable SSD makes a lot more sense. Lexar’s new Armor cards aren’t as fast as SD 8.0, but they’re made out of stainless steel. Neat. Lexar’s new Armor cards aren’t as fast as SD 8.0, but they’re made out of stainless steel. Neat.Lexar Lexar’s new Armor cards aren’t as fast as SD 8.0, but they’re made out of stainless steel. Neat.Lexar Lexar Personally, I’m more interested in some of the other cards Lexar announced at IFA in Germany (spotted by Liliputing), including some “ARMOR” SD cards made out of stainless steel. Considering how fragile plastic cards are, and how pricey they can get for huge capacities and incredible speeds, beefing up their durability makes a lot of sense. (Assuming they don’t harm your camera or PC when actually used, of course. I’ll wait for reviews before putting my money down.) Speaking of which, when will you be able to buy the Lexar Professional Gold Pro SDXC? And for how much? No idea. Lexar hasn’t announced dates or prices for any of the new hardware it showed off, and they aren’t showing up in retail listings yet. Expect them to hit shelves later this year or in early 2025, for quite a lot of dough. Read...

At a glanceExpert`s Rating ProsFantastic 4K captures front and rear, day and nightCrisp display and efficient phone appIntegrated GPSAffordable for the quality of its capturesConsRear camera isn’t detachable from its sticky mountOur VerdictIf you want the best captures — front and rear, day and night — then look no further than Miofive’s surprisingly affordable S1 Ultra. If only the app didn’t insist on you providing your phone number. Best Prices Today: Miofive S1 Ultra Dash Cam Retailer Price Miofive $199.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket I’ve reviewed a number of 4K dash cams, but Miofive’s S1 Ultra is the first I’ve tested that supports 4K rear captures. However, 4K means squat without quality optics and processing. Apparently Miofive understands that only too well — the S1’s captures are absolutely outstanding: front and rear, day or night. They don’t cost you an arm and a leg either. My only complaint is that the app is intrusive, though it’s not necessary to use the dash cam. Further reading: See our roundup of the best dash cams to learn about competing products. What are the Miofive S1 Ultra’s features? The S1 Ultra is a dual-channel, front/rear dash cam system featuring 2160p video from both cameras, though the rear camera defaults to 1440p. The front camera’s field of view is 140 degrees and the rear camera’s FOV is 115 degrees. The unpowered S1 Ultra’s display and rear camera. The unpowered S1 Ultra’s display and rear camera. The unpowered S1 Ultra’s display and rear camera. Outwardly, the S1 Ultra is rather unimpressive. It’s your standard black rectangle (around 3.5-inches wide, 1.5-inches deep, and 2-inches tall) with a 2.5-inch, 480p display and buttons alongside the display to navigate the menu system. Miofive was mum on the sensors it uses, but whatever brand they are, they and whatever processing is involved, produce excellent results. GPS is integrated as are both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for phone connectivity. There’s of course an app. The app makes it appear as if you need to log on to a Miofive account, which requires you to enter a phone number. You do not have to participate if you do not wish. The app will still connect to the camera. Listening 70Mai? There’s also a TF card slot (class 10 is recommended), as well as ports for the power and rear camera. What is impressive is the 5 ounce heft, which gives the unit a more substantial feel than many. Put simply, it doesn’t feel cheap. The front camera is easily removable from its semi-permanent adhesive base and draws power via an auxiliary adapter using a Type-A to Type-C (on the camera end) cable. A long mini-8-pin to mini-8-pin cable connects to the rear camera, which also mounts using semi-permanent adhesive, but isn’t removable. Regardless, it withstood being squashed with the top down on my convertible for a long drive to California’s Central Valley. The Miofive app connected to the S1 Ultra. The Miofive app connected to the S1 Ultra. The Miofive app connected to the S1 Ultra. The S1 Ultra uses a supercapacitor rather than a battery, but it’s a rather hefty one. It runs the camera for 2 to 3 seconds after losing power. Long enough for the digital lady to tell you that constant power has been disconnected. She also informs you that “Miofive is here for you” at power up, and will scold or warn about various things (bad driver alerts — though thankfully, not collision or lane departure). How much does the Miofive S1 Ultra cost? At the time of this writing, the S1 Ultra was selling for just under $200. That’s not dirt cheap, but considering the quality of its captures, money well spent. Front/rear dash cam systems start at around $120, but I’ve yet to see anything approaching that cheap with the capture quality of the S1 Ultra. Even the mighty Cobra SC 400D can’t match that. Miofive warranties the S1 Ultra for 18 months, which is a long time by dash cam industry standards. Remember that dash cams are perpetually exposed to direct sunlight, which creates a lot of heat, which is the bane of all electronics. How are the Miofive S1 Ultra’s captures? I already let the cat out of the bag on this one. The captures are most excellent, so much so that I’m not surprised that Miofive doesn’t want to discuss the components involved. The color is accurate, exposure seems right on no matter the lighting conditions, headlight flare is handled very well, and the detail is absolutely outstanding. There were no motion defects to speak of either. Most unusually, the night captures are on par with the day captures. Nearly all the dash cams I’ve tested work well during the day, but very few shine at night, so to speak. By default the S1 Ultra is set to 2160p in the front, but only 1440p in the rear. My policy is to use the default setting. You can up the resolution in the back if you wish, but I don’t really see the need given the already high-quality of the captures. Also, 2160p uses approximately 230MBps (h.265) while 1440p uses only 130MBps. The S1 Ultra will accept up to 512GB cards — I suggest you get the largest you can afford. Note that the Miofive S1 Ultra didn’t set the time correctly via GPS (it was Eastern Time) though the settings seemed to indicate it would. I forgot to set it myself, which is why the times shown in the following images are all off. Subtract three hours (and a day if necessary) for the true date/time and lighting conditions. The front day capture shown below is crisp, detailed, and sports accurate color. Note that the license plates are readable even to the side at a severe angle. Sweet.

Enough that Miofive might want to add more ventilation louvers to any upcoming revisions. As to the aforementioned supercapacitor, Miofive claims a 2-second run time, but I saw quite a bit more than that, perhaps 5 seconds, on those occasions I was using the app and the unit wasn’t recording. I can’t remember the last time I had no complaints whatsoever about a dash cam’s captures. That might actually be never. Excellent job by the Miofive designer guys and gals. Should you buy the Miofive S1 Ultra? If you want the best captures possible, then Miofive’s S1 Ultra should be on a short list. A short list with only one item on it. Kudos to Miofive for raising the capture-quality bar and doing so for a very reasonable price. Read...

At a glanceExpert`s Rating ProsSolid performanceCompetitive priceDedicated button for quick performance mode switchingFast 165Hz display with good colorsConsFully plastic buildMushy keyboardWeak battery lifeOur VerdictThe Acer Nitro V 16 delivers great gaming with its RTX 4060 GPU and Ryzen 7 CPU, but the battery life could be better. In the past, gaming laptops could never hope to keep up with desktop gaming rigs, but the latest multi-core CPUs and pixel-pushing GPUs in laptops can make even the most demanding AAA games playable on the go. However, you’ll pay handsomely for the privilege, with high-end gaming laptops running thousands of dollars. If you don’t want to spend that much, laptops like the Ryzen-powered Acer Nitro V 16 could be just what you need. It’s got everything you need and nothing you don’t. This machine sports a capable RTX 4060 GPU and an eight-core Ryzen 7 8845HS processor. Combine those with a fast IPS display, and you have a solid gaming experience for around $1,000. However, you won’t find much use for the Acer Nitro V 16 beyond gaming due to its poor battery life and obvious gamer aesthetic. Further reading: Best gaming laptops 2024: What to look for and highest-rated models Acer Nitro V 16: Specs and features The Nitro V 16 runs on the eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, which was launched in late 2023. AMD has since launched a new generation of laptop Ryzen chips with more AI chops, but that’s not a problem for the V 16. This machine also has an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, which can process more AI workloads than a CPU if the need arises. The GPU is capable of running any modern game. While the resolution of 1920×1200 isn’t exceptionally high in 2024, it pairs well with the RTX 4060 to run games with medium or high settings at native resolution. The 16GB of included DDR5 RAM is also sufficient for mid-range gaming, but it’s light for creative work. If these specs don’t work for you, the Nitro V 16 may not be the right machine. While the Acer Nitro 14 has similar specs, it’s a little more powerful and expensive. The 16-inch model only has a few minor spec variants, with a starting MSRP of $999.99. That’s cheaper than most RTX 4060 gaming machines, but the base model only has 8GB of RAM. I tested the 16GB version (priced at $1,099.99), which is the minimum memory allotment you should consider in 2024. The good news is this version of the machine is often discounted below $1,000. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS Memory: 16GB DDR5 Graphics/GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Display: 16-inch 1920×1200 IPS @ 165Hz Storage: 1 TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD Webcam: 720p Connectivity: 1x USB-C (USB4, 40Gbps), 2 x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x Ethernet, 1x 3.5mm audio jack Networking: Wi-Fi 6e, Bluetooth 5.3 Battery capacity: 57Whr, 135W charging Dimensions: 14.25 x 11.07 x 1.24 inches Weight: 5.5 pounds MSRP as tested: $1,099.99 The Acer Nitro V 16’s fast display is great for twitchy games and the RTX 4060 has enough horsepower to run almost any modern title at medium or high settings. Acer Nitro V 16: Design and build quality IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam When it’s closed, the Acer Nitro V 16 doesn’t scream “gaming PC,” but it does cut an imposing silhouette with its 16-inch display and thick 1.24-inch profile. It’s an all-black affair, save for the silver Acer Nitro logo in the middle of the lid. Opening the lid, there’s another inlaid Nitro logo on the wrist rest and one below the display. The Nitro V16 is all plastic, and you will notice that immediately upon touching it. It doesn’t seem cheaply made, but you can feel the plastic body flexing around the trackpad and cooling vents. While plastic might not be as robust as metal, the Nitro V 16 feels generally sturdy. The hinge is smooth, if a bit stiff. However, it stays put, and there’s next to no wobble, even when you pound away on the keyboard. The chassis has tapered edges that make it a bit easier to pick up, but it’s got more heft than a business laptop, even with the plastic body. This laptop weighs in at 5.5 pounds, which is heavy compared to most laptops but competitive for a 16-inch gaming PC. I like the oversized rubber feet on the underside, which help keep the machine from moving around on your desk. The Nitro V 16 has fewer ports than you’ll find on a productivity laptop or a higher-end gaming machine. It’s more than good enough for the average gamer, though. You get two high-speed USB-A ports, one on each side. There’s also a full Ethernet port on the left side. Around back, you get the DC power plug, HDMI out, and the laptop’s lone USB-C port. This isn’t a convenient location for that port, but at least it’s fast, with support for USB4 at 40Gbps. The Acer Nitro V 16 has a robust cooling system featuring two internal fans that pull in air from the top and bottom of the machine. That’s handy if one of the vents is temporarily obstructed, but you can hear the fans droning through the large vents above the keyboard. Warm air is accelerated out the sides of the PC through sizable exhaust ports, maintaining low thermals inside the machine. You might have to watch where you put your mouse—the exhaust blasts outward a good distance from the computer and it is hot. Next to the cooling vents, the V 16 has a small glowing button to switch performance modes. With each press, the color changes and the system overlay tells you which mode you’ve activated. This is a handy way to switch from battery-efficient modes to high-power for playing games. Alternatively, you can press the “Nitro” key to launch the performance tuning client for even more control. Acer Nitro V 16: Display and Speakers IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam This 16-inch IPS LCD has a resolution of 1920×1200 and a refresh rate of 165Hz. There’s plenty of screen real estate, but there’s no option for a touchscreen here. That’s fine, considering it has a standard non-convertible hinge and it’s aimed mostly at gamers. There’s a 720p webcam squeezed in just about the screen. It’s fine in a pinch, but the picture is grainy and flat. There’s no support for IR-based Windows Hello, so you’ll need to use a password or PIN to unlock this laptop. The display brightness is on the weak side at 300 nits, but the colors and viewing angles are good for the price. You could spend a few hundred more to get a sharper LCD or even an OLED, but this panel is great for gaming, particularly if you’re into twitchy shooters like Fortnite or Counter-Strike. The RTX 4060 has no trouble rendering modern games at 1200p, and the 165Hz refresh rate offers smooth movement in fast-paced scenes. The stereo speakers are tucked under the edge of the laptop, which is true of most notebooks. The speakers get reasonably loud, but the audio is hollow and garbled at high volumes. The sound is serviceable as long as you leave it at a modest level. If you want more immersive sound, you’ll need headphones or external speakers. Acer Nitro V 16: Keyboard and trackpad IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam The keyboard on this machine could be a little divisive. This PC offers a quiet, soft typing experience. On the flip side, the keys aren’t very tactile, and the bottom-out is too mushy. These qualities won’t matter if you’re primarily playing games on the Nitro V 16, but it’s not ideal for typing long documents. At just over 14 inches wide, the Nitro V 16 is just large enough to offer an expanded keyboard layout—you’ll find a full number pad to the keyboard’s right, but the keys are only about 60 percent as large as normal keys. That makes the pad a little too cramped for my taste, but some may still be happy they have a number pad at all on a 16-inch laptop I was very happy to see that Acer also made room for full-sized arrow keys. Most modern laptops shrink those keys down to save space, but that makes them harder to find by touch. And right next to the arrow, Acer has included the now-customary Microsoft Copilot key. The keys themselves are backlit with orange LEDs—no color options here. The WASD cluster also has a bit more shine-through surface to set it apart from the rest of the deck. Similarly, there’s a small dimple on W to make it easier to find by touch.  It’s not the most elegant look, but the Nitro V 16 isn’t about subtlety. The Acer Nitro V 16 has a large enough trackpad, but it seems like it could be bigger given the amount of unused real estate below the keyboard. It’s just your standard touchpad, no glass or more exotic materials. I found it to be a very responsive pad, though. Tapping, dragging, and other gestures are detected reliably and accurately. Acer Nitro V 16: Performance IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam PCMark 10 is designed to test a machine across a variety of metrics like web browsing, video chat, and photo editing. The Acer Nitro V 16 scores 7,235, which is competitive but a little behind similar laptops, including the Acer Nitro 14. CPU performance is a primary factor with PCMark, so shifting from the default Balanced performance mode to Performance bumps the PCMark score by about 300 points. IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam Cinebench is a CPU-focused test that shows how a PC handles heavy but brief multi-core workloads. More CPU cores grant higher scores in Cinebench and cooling doesn’t matter very much. The Nitro V 16 scored 6,258 in this test, which is higher than many Intel-powered laptops. Again, the similarly equipped Acer Nitro 14 runs just a little ahead with the default performance tuning. IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam The Handbrake test is similar to Cinebench in that it shows how a computer handles multithreaded tasks, but this is a longer-duration test where thermals matter more. This laptop manages 6,258 in Cinebench. The robust cooling solution pays off, keeping the Nitro V 16 competitive with more expensive laptops. IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam Our first gaming test is 3DMark Time Spy, a graphical benchmark that focuses on GPU performance. At 9,206, the Acer V 16 offers fantastic game performance, running even or slightly ahead of other RTX 4060 machines. It takes an RTX 4070 or higher to consistently beat this laptop in 3DMark, but those machines are much more expensive. For example, the Alienware x16 R2 is about the same size and weight and it leaves this machine in the dust, but it also costs twice as much. IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam Game benchmarks like the one included with Shadow of the Tomb Raider can help us understand a system’s real world gaming experience. With an average frame rate of 130, the Acer Nitro V 16 definitely establishes its gaming chops in this benchmark. This frame rate is better than numerous RTX 4060 machines we’ve tested and it almost matches some RTX 4070 laptops. IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam The Metro Exodus benchmark is a bit more demanding, giving higher-specced machines a chance to shine. However, the V 16 still reaches an average of 38 fps, which is more than competitive with gaming laptops with similar components. Overall, I’ve been very happy with the Acer Nitro V 16’s performance. While the CPU falls a little behind in some benchmarks, that’s not something you’ll notice in daily usage. Across productivity and gaming, this machine never left me waiting. The GPU isn’t the best around, but it’s more than powerful enough to run modern games on the 1200p LCD at high frame rates. However, the display does not have G-Sync support to reduce tearing at high frame rates. It might not handle the most demanding visual enhancements (e.g. ray tracing) as well as more expensive GPUs, but it nails the basics. Acer Nitro V 16: Battery life Despite weighing about the same as comparable gaming PCs, Acer only managed to fit a 56Wh battery in the Nitro V 16. That’s closer to what we’d expect for a mid-range productivity PC and it’s much smaller than the 76Wh cell in the Acer Nitro 14. It comes with a 135W charging brick that connects to the DC barrel port. You can also charge the machine over USB-C but it fills more slowly and won’t run in performance mode when powered by USB-C. IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam IDG / Ryan Whitwam Our battery test consists of playing a 4K copy of Tears of Steel on repeat with the screen at 250 nits until the laptop runs out of juice. The V 16 brings up the rear in our rundown test at 234 minutes (just shy of four hours), which is about what I’d expect given the big display and small battery. In general, you can expect a little more time per charge in daily use by keeping the display brightness lower—we had to turn it most of the way up to keep the benchmark consistent. I’d estimate around four or five hours of productivity usage on battery, but games will drain it much faster. That makes the V 16 more a poor choice for gaming on the go. If you can’t find a power outlet, this laptop just won’t last very long. Acer Nitro V 16: Conclusion Even at the MSRP of $1,099 to $1,129, the Acer Nitro V 16 offers a fantastic value and it’s usually discounted to under $1,000. For that sum, you get a big, fast display that’s great for twitchy games and the RTX 4060 has enough horsepower to run almost any modern title at medium or high settings. You could spend a little more to get even better gaming performance or an OLED display, but the V 16 is a good value for the mid-range. Just don’t expect to take the show on the road—with a meager 56Wh battery, I found the battery life to be substandard. No gaming laptop is going to frag forever on battery, but this one doesn’t even last as long as most. The keyboard isn’t the prettiest, nor does it feel particularly good, but it’s fine for gaming. The machine also has a distinctively “gamer” vibe that won’t fit in at the office. These shortcomings are not deal breakers, but don’t buy this machine for dual productivity/gaming duty. Read...
