Dell’s new XPS 14 is better in almost every way

Back from the dead. | Photo: Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge The 2026 XPS 14 is the best premium laptop we've seen from Dell in a while, with incredible build quality in a thin machine and good performance thanks to Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" chips. A bonus: Dell killed its lame "Premium Plus" naming scheme. XPS is so back! I can't believe how much of a turnaround this new model is from the XPS 13 I reviewed last year, which at the time was set to be the line's depressing swa

JMGO’s N3 Ultimate projector is the new portable 4K champ

The N3 Ultimate doesn’t mind being off center. | Photo by Thomas Ricker / The Verge Sorry Anker: JMGO now makes my favorite flagship portable projector. The N3 Ultimate is an excellent portable 4K projector that defeats moderate ambient light at severe placement angles and can rival more expensive home theater installations at night. After a few weeks of testing, I think the raw adaptability exhibited by the JMGO's N3 Ultimate justifies its current $2,399 price ($500 off its $2,999 list). Modern

GOG apologizes for emailing people Nazi symbols

Good ol' games? | Image: GOG GOG sent a newsletter about the game The End of the Sun on June 5th that included symbols associated with the Nazi SS. The Steam competitor issued a statement attributing the inclusion to a "series of mistakes," including miscommunication with the German QA team, inconsistent font rendering, and being understaffed during a bank holiday, among other things. The game is a fantasy title set in a universe based on Slavic mythology and culture. So GOG included Slavic rune

The mayor of Shelbyville, Indiana, says only people who live in ‘shitty houses’ oppose data center

A proposed $2 billion data center has become a political flashpoint in the small city of Shelbyville, Indiana. And the controversy has only grown more intense after the mayor, Scott Furgeson, was caught on camera saying of the "No Data Center" signs going up that, "I've seen a lot of these all over town, but I only see them in shitty houses," before adding, "most of them are rentals." The woman speaking to him in the clip quickly pushes back, saying that they're "working class," and someone chim

Benn Jordan longs for the days of tech that didn’t spy on you

Benn refuses to be pigeon holed. | Image: Benn Jordan Benn Jordan may have initially gained notoriety for his music as Flashbulb and later, reviewing synths and effects pedals on YouTube under Benn and Gear. But about five years ago, Benn decided to take his YouTube channel in a different direction. He didn't stop covering music gear overnight, but as time progressed, his channel became more focused on science and technology investigations. He even turned the entire enterprise into a nonprofit.

82-0 is the best basketball game, to hell with NBA 2K

Can you go undefeated? | Screenshot: The Verge 82-0 marries the stat nerd fun of fantasy basketball with instant gratification and a bit of dumb luck. The goal is to draft a team of players that could (theoretically) have a perfect 82-0 season. Obviously, if you just had free rein to pick whoever you wanted from throughout history, there would be little challenge. The twist is that the site randomly selects a team and an era, and then you pick a single player. So, for example, if you pulled the

Kabuto Park captures the fleeting joy of summer vacation

There are a lot of games that remind me of summer - hot days in the backseat with a copy of Dragon Warrior III, cooling off in the basement while grinding Gran Turismo races - but there aren't a lot of games that are actually about summer. That's part of what makes Kabuto Park so charming. It's a game that manages to not only capture the fleeting moments of a childhood summer, but also cram a Pokémon-style adventure into a game that lasts only a few hours. Kabuto Park actually launched last year
