VW ID.BUZZ, WEBER SMOQUE, FUJIFILM GFX100RF and PLUS

We really cover all the basics with our latest exam list. We have everything, from an EV family carrier to an intelligent pellet grill. Wireless headphones, a unique camera and a GPU which is in fact affordable also appear on the list. In addition, there are new playdate games and a VPN review if you are in these things. Whatever your favorite flavor, read the rest for a summary of our criticism from the last two weeks.

Volkswagen

The VW ID.Buzz does an excellent job to discuss the nostalgia for the classic VW Microbus, but it is retained by its high price and its practice.

Pros

  • Fun and fun design
  • Smooth driving
  • Large infotainment screen
  • Tons of storage

There is really no electric mini-duties available in the United States, although the VW ID.Buzz certainly approaches. The EV is definitely a head turner, and it offers a lot of loading space for passengers and packages. “It’s just a shame that he was retained by obvious problems,” said the journalist for senior journals will get Hardawar. “ID.

Weber / Engadget

Weber’s most affordable smart pellet grid is a reliable barbecue machine with just enough intelligent features to please both beginners and experienced backyard cooks.

Pros

  • Simple controls
  • Reliable performance
  • Wi-Fi connectivity
  • New kitchen bedroom design
Disadvantages

  • No storage without improvements
  • Smokeboost only works 180 degrees
  • No fuel monitoring

$ 799 at Weber

The pellet grills equipped by Wi-Fi can cost very quickly very expensive. Fortunately, two of the biggest clay names have chosen to offer affordable models as part of their 2025 alignments. One of them is Weber, and the new Smoque grill of the company offers reliable performance alongside all the features that most of the Pit Masters in the backyard will need – for $ 799. “Weber really struck his stride with pellet grils last year with the Searwood, and the smoque is proof that the company has more convincing ideas in the hopper,” I wrote. “Fortunately, it allows you to save money without sacrificing culinary results.”

Fujifilm

The GFX100RF is the first compact camera in 100mp medium format in the world. It offers incredible image quality and flexibility but is not great in low light, and the high price makes it a niche product.

Pros

  • Incredibly sharp images
  • Innovative appearance ratio
  • Compact for a medium -format camera
  • Beautiful design and quality of construction
Disadvantages

  • Low light performance
  • No image stabilization
  • Not hybrid viewfinder
  • Intermediate autofocus

GFX100RF can be a first world, according to Fujifilm, but the camera is not without substantial defects. Despite an excellent design, a clear image quality and new controls, this model is not good for low -light situations, has a lower autofocus and offers no image stabilization. As Steve Dent noted, the main journalist, perhaps the GFX100RF has a higher call. “The GFX100RF is fun to use, and introduces several innovations such as the dial of the aspect ratio,” he said. “Although it never has a huge market, I think that products like this push industry in new directions and create conversations that attract new people in photography.”

Gigabyte

The Radeon RX 9060 XT offers a solid amount of play power 1080p and 1440p for only $ 350. It is not the fastest card in the world, but it is a great option for most people.

Pros

  • Excellent performance 1080p and 1440p
  • Affordable retail
  • Solid cooling
  • FSR 4 and Frame Gen is excellent when available
Disadvantages

  • Limited support for scaling FSR 4

$ 350 at AMD

The upgrading of your GPU these days is generally not an affordable task, but AMD has an option of $ 350 which is a solid bet for most users. “The Radeon RX 9060 XT is a reminder of a world where we did not have to pay more than $ 400 to get a capable GPU,” said Dev will. “So, for the vast majority of players – those who do not use monitors with high cooling rates and 4K + resolutions – that’s all you really need.”

If you are looking for a set of wireless headphones for less than $ 150, we have recently examined two options in this price range. Firstly, the Skullcandy 360 ANC method strongly borrows the headphones from Bose to Bose, ultra headphones, although it only officially contains “Sound by Bose”. However, the journalist for senior purchasing advice Jeff Dunn warns against expectation of flagship quality performance. “This is always a level higher than most of the budgetary pairs we have tested,” he said. “He has almost all the features we are looking for (unlike, say, the solo Beats heads), it’s comfortable and the sound signature will hit well if you are hungry.”

Sony is best known for its range of 1000x of headphones and headphones, but the company has struck gold several times with mid -range devices. Its latest, WF-C710N, has a comfortable design and a lot of features for $ 120. However, sound quality is the place where you will notice the greatest difference between it and the more expensive options. “If I had been able to hit (or even exceed) the life of the Sony battery, these headphones would be easy to recommend,” I wrote. “Despite this, they are always a solid option, especially at $ 120, because the company again exceeds its mid -range rivals with more practical tools that you will not find elsewhere.”

Season 2 of Playdate will offer two new games a week for the pocket computer until July 3. The editor-in-chief of the weekend, Cheyenne Macdonald, has already played the first two entries, Defender of the support point And You! You! Dino!, and a third title that Panic also published called Blippo +. Meanwhile, the main writer Sam Chapman tested ExpressVPN, observing how the service exceeds a large part of the competition despite its lack of personalization options and its higher price.
