Reviews season is in full swing, and we've been busy at Engadget HQ. Laptops, desktops, earbuds, gaming handhelds and even an ice cream machine are among our slate of recent reviews. The great thing about this time of year is there's really something for everyone among the in-depth testing our team undertakes.

As is often the case in the week following an Apple launch event, the TechRadar reviews team has been absolutely inundated with reviews this week. We were blessed with three Apple releases – including the predicted MacBook Air M4 and the shock of that new Mac Studio with M3 Ultra chip.

We’re getting antsy for a more significant redesign, but the MacBook Air 15-inch remains Apple's best value in a big-screen laptop, thanks to a lower starting price, kicked-up CPU performance, and a boost in the base model's memory capacity.
