Kensington's Thunderbolt 5 Triple 4K Docking Station (SD5010T5) is an attractively priced 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 dock, with excellent performance but questionable stability. Kensington's Thunderbolt 5 Triple 4K Docking Station (SD5010T5, sometimes referred to as the SD5010T5 EQ) feels like a 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 dock for the PC, rather than the Mac, with multiple HDMI ports rather than a host of Thunderbolt upstream connections.

Windows notifications are a productivity tax. Here's how to control -- or better yet, eliminate -- them.

Only the surprisingly bad mics hold back the eMeet SmartCam C960 Ultra 4K webcam from what could have been a perfect score. The eMeet C960 Ultra 4K webcam is a well-constructed, affordable, 4K autofocus camera with terrific image quality. However, the input mics are truly bad. It's hard to find anything to dislike about the eMeet C960 Ultra 4K autofocus webcam, which continues the industry's trend to provide 4K resolution at ever-lower prices.

Should buyers invest in a new budget processor like Intel's Wildcat Lake? I don't dislike Lenovo's 15-inch IdeaPad Slim 3i, which boasts a brand-new Intel Core Series 3 chip. This "Wildcat Lake" chip is a stripped-down version of Intel's superb Panther Lake processor, and it sort of feels like it is right out of the box. But the performance is blah, and a recent Snapdragon version of this IdeaPad laptop seems to offer more for the money.

PCWorld reports Google's new Gemini-powered smart glasses prototype represents a refined approach to smart eyewear, manufactured by Samsung with discreet camera and touch controls. The lightweight glasses integrate Google's AI assistant for real-world navigation, search functions, and phone replacement capabilities while maintaining a normal sunglasses appearance. Despite improved public acceptance and seamless design, limitations include basic heads-up display, battery concerns, and sometimes forced AI features. A decade after Google launched Google Glass to spectacular failure, it's trying again. And I think that the world (and I) will be more receptive to what Google's online AI interpreter, Gemini, can do when plugged into your ear.
