I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mercedes G-Class. That boxy silhouette. The clunk when you shut the door. The feeling you’re piloting something carved from a granite block. But after a week with the electric Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology (to give it its full title), I’ve come to a bold conclusion: this is the G-Wagon I’d actually want to own. Forget the AMG G63 – this one’s better. Let’s start with the obvious. From the outside, the G 580 looks almost identical to its combustion-powered siblings. That’s no bad thing. The squared-off design is iconic, and…

As any streaming subscriber knows, prices continue to rise on what seems like a monthly basis. But now it’s finally paying, kind of, to be a subscriber to either Disney+ or Hulu. Disney has just announced a new perks program for both streaming services. Disney+ Perks Are Wide Ranging Disney The Disney+ Perks are available starting today in the United States. Here’s what to expect when you log on to the Perks site. A chance to win tickets to the Freakier Friday World Premiere and be among the first to see the all-new sequel before it arrives in theaters August…

Choosing the best AI chatbot comes down to speed, accuracy, and convenience. Both Google AI Mode and ChatGPT promise top-tier performance, but how do they actually compare when tested with a range of real-world prompts?

I’m willing to bet you shot a quick look over at your TV the moment you read the title. Yeah, you read right; your smart TV could have a camera, and here’s how you can figure out where it’s hiding. Smart TVs With Built-In Cameras Are Inherently Not Bad Hold on; just in case you happen to find that your TV has a camera, I’d like to categorically state that built-in cameras on smart TVs aren’t entirely designed with malicious intent. These cameras serve legitimate purposes that can genuinely enhance your entertainment experience when used properly. Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock Video…

Nintendo saved a dying handheld console market back in 2017 when it launched the Nintendo Switch. The little hybrid console that could had a great run, playing host to some all-time classic games – but its reign is over. The Nintendo Switch 2 is official, and heading your way on June 5th 2025. Nintendo officially confirmed the follow-up handheld’s existence with a two-minute YouTube trailer highlighting some of its new features – and teasing an all new Mario Kart game – following several high-profile leaks. It held plenty back for a full reveal though. The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct showcase…

Introduction After a week spent behind the wheel of the teensy-weensy Leapmotor T03 city car, I’ve just followed it with seven days in this. The Mazda CX-80 sits at the complete opposite end of the space spectrum, with room for up to seven people to enjoy high levels of comfort. It comes as a plug-in too, so could prove a better option for anyone with a growing family and multiple school run stops than the diesel edition. Mazda’s flagship SUV is certainly a beefy proposition. The downside is its bulk, which needs to be carefully managed in less spacious surroundings…

With an $800 ceiling and photo editing performance as the goal, I asked ChatGPT for a recommended PC parts list. The result? A clean, efficient build that outperformed my expectations and made smart, deliberate choices in every category. Starting With Clear Objectives The mission was straightforward: build a system optimized for photo uploading and editing. It needed to be fully capable of handling large RAW files, support quick exports, allow for multitasking, and remain cool and quiet during extended editing sessions. I asked ChatGPT to generate a component list within a strict $800 budget, optimized for creative work. Having built…

When it comes to running watches, Garmin’s Forerunner range is a bit of a legend. The series has been the trusty training sidekick for runners of all levels for years – whether that’s beginners just getting going with 5Ks or those going deep into marathon training.I was at the brand’s massive global HQ in Olathe, Kansas City, this week for the official launch of its brand new watches in this series, where it not only unveiled the flagship Forerunner 970, but also a fresh mid-range model, the Forerunner 570. We’d already seen a few leaks of the flagship leading up…

When Swatch and Omega dropped the MoonSwatch in 2022, chaos ensued. Queues snaked around city blocks. Watches sold out instantly. People flipped them online for double, sometimes triple, the retail price. And all for a $270 / £240 plastic watch inspired by the legendary Omega Speedmaster (one of the best watches around). It was, by any metric, a phenomenon – the kind of marketing moment brands dream of. Not only did it inject a bolt of fun into the luxury watch scene, but it also pulled a younger crowd into horology who might’ve otherwise bought a smartwatch. Two years on,…
