The LG Gram series of notebook computers is renowned for having some of the best lightweight laptops that you can buy. It comprises many different models and SKUs, which can make picking one rather difficult. There's the mainline LG Gram series, which comes in four sizes, but there are also three active sub-models: the Style, 2-in-1, and SuperSlim. There is also last generation’s Ultra-Slim Pro, which is technically still available from some retailers, but that line has been dropped for the 2023 refresh.

Best SSDs for Steam Deck in 2023
If you're the technical type, you can replace the SSD in your Steam Deck with one that's faster or offers more storage for your games.
The Steam Deck is a really impressive system for playing your favorite PC games on the go. So much so that there are many Steam Deck alternatives that you can now buy. One thing that's great about the Steam Deck, though is that it comes in three configurations to fit various budgets.

Changing the SSD takes a lot of work, but if you need some options, we collected eight of our favorite Steam Deck SSDs for you right here.
Should you buy a TV on Prime Day?
Amazon offers some attractive TV deals during Prime Day, and you should definitely pick one up if you're in need of an upgrade.
Amazon's Prime Day sale event is one of the best times of the year to loosen your wallet, second only to Black Friday. During the two-day sale event, which now happens twice a year, Prime members get access to great deals on a wide range of products, but not all of them are worth your hard-earned cash. We've seen several instances of sellers jacking up prices right before the event to attract users with "higher" discounts, and we've come across plenty of listings selling old products at current market rates while falsely advertising a significant markdown from the original MSRP.
The iPad 9 is far from being the best iPad out there. Despite that, it's still an excellent tablet for those who don't want to overspend on a glass slab. Not only does it support iPadOS 17 and its rich features, but it also is a great entertainment and education hub. You can use it to read, type, research, game, binge-watch, listen to music, and much more. It's also perfect for controlling your smart HomeKit appliances. Though, like any other tablet, you must protect the iPad 9 with a case. After all, accidents occur, and a single drop could smash its delicate body. To help you maximize its durability, we've listed some of the best iPad 9 cases currently available.

To help you find the best USB-C hub for your MacBook Pro, we've listed some of the best options available below.

Best MacBook Pro 13 (2022) chargers in 2023
A charger is one of the essential accessories you may want to invest in.
The MacBook Pro 13 (2022) is undoubtedly one of the best Macs on the market. Despite it featuring an outdated chassis with thick bezels, it's the last Mac with a Touch Bar on sale, so you can utilize this retired hardware element while taking advantage of the mighty M2 chip. Expectedly, this machine is also compatible with macOS Sonoma, and it should be receiving software updates for years to come. Basically, it's a future-proof machine that should last you for a long time, and that's why a single charger may not be enough. While Apple does include a 67W brick in its box, you may find yourself needing spare or replacement units.

Best Mac Studio monitors in 2023
The Mac Studio requires a separate monitor, and we've picked the best options for you.
The Mac Studio is arguably the best Mac for power users. That's because it features some of Apple's most powerful chipsets and supports the new macOS Sonoma. However, this machine doesn't include a display in its box, so you will need to buy one separately. And, of course, finding the right screen can be a pain, with manufacturers putting out all sorts of models with different price tags and sizes. For this reason, we've simplified your hunt by listing the best Mac Studio monitors you can buy right now.

We're halfway through 2023 and have already seen some great smartphones from the likes of Samsung, OnePlus, Motorola, and Google this year. There are still plenty of phones to look forward to this year, but it's time to reflect and turn the spotlight on some of the best phones available so far in 2023. In addition to flagships like the iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra to affordable flagships and best value picks like the OnePlus 11 and the "almost flagship" Pixel 7a, I am also adding budget picks and some other categories to offer a good mix of options. We here at XDA test almost every smartphone that's released to the public, so you can count on this roundup to find the right phone that suits your budget and needs. Let's dive in!
The MacBook Pro 13 (2022) is one of the best Macs on the market. While its exterior body is outdated and bulky, it packs the mighty M2 chip and supports macOS Sonoma.

This will likely limit your workflow and how you utilize the included Apple silicon. Luckily, you can expand the MacBook Pro 13 (2022)'s I/O by relying on docks. To help you find an excellent pick, we've listed some of the best options currently available.
