Lenovo has a habit of announcing everything at once. At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, the company rolled out foldable gaming handhelds, glasses-free 3D laptops, and enough concept devices to fill a small museum. It’s a lot. But buried in that avalanche of announcements is the Idea Tab Pro Gen 2, a product that caught my […]

Inside the engine of a high-performance car, components endure thousands of violent explosions per minute, resisting incredible friction and wear. The materials chosen for this environment are selected for one reason: absolute, uncompromising durability. One of the most resilient of these materials is silicon nitride, a ceramic used where extreme toughness is the only acceptable

For years, smartphone makers have been quietly taking things away. The removable battery went first, then the headphone jack, then anything else that made a phone feel repairable or adaptable. TECNO showed up at MWC 2026 with a different idea, bringing a collection of concepts that go in the opposite direction, adding to the phone

And somewhere behind all of it is a hub that ties all of it together, which is usually a graceless plastic brick

There’s a specific kind of loneliness that comes with working alone all day. Not the dramatic kind, just the low-grade awareness that every question you have goes into a chat window, every instruction gets typed into a box, and the thing supposedly helping you has no idea where you’re sitting or what’s on your desk.

Gaming handhelds have quietly become the most interesting category in consumer electronics, and also the most awkward one to travel with. They’re too big to ignore in a bag and too small to replace a laptop, which means plenty of people end up carrying both anyway, one for the flight, one for the hotel desk,
