| Christmas is coming, and do you know which gaming console is the hottest item on the market right now? No, not the PS5, and not the Xbox Series X. It’s the Nintendo Switch! That’s no surprise; it’s a great gaming machine that doesn’t break the bank, and (perhaps most importantly) you can find it in stores. But if you’re getting (or giving) a new Nintendo Switch for Christmas, there’s something we should talk about—that display. This is a portable console and thus runs the risk of scratches and cracks to its all-important screen. Now, if this were a smartphone, I’d say you don’t need a screen protector. But the Nintendo Switch? Well, that would be the wrong advice—regardless of which model you bought. Hit the top story for the details. Other Highlights: - Roku is ready for the New Year and to give stuff away!
- Have you Googled Christmas lately? Maybe you should!
- Lenovo’s new gigantic screen computer sure reminds me of the Surface Hub.
- The Renault Zoe EV’s safety rating is a great big bowl of yikes cereal.
- …and more! So much more!

| Windows Tried to Steal the Best macOS Feature—And Failed Miserably |
|
One of our favorite macOS features is “shake mouse pointer to locate.” It balloons your cursor to a comically large size when you shake your mouse, helping you find the cursor when it’s tucked in the corner of your screen or hidden in one of your many desktop monitors. Microsoft finally took a crack at copying this feature, and the results are pretty disappointing. Read More »
