Nov 2020











No TV I've ever tested offers this much picture quality for as little cash. The TCL 6-Series Dolby Vision HDR TV has an excellent image thanks to  and well-implemented  that helps it run circles around just about any other TV at this price. It's also a , with a THX mode that combines low input lag and high contrast. As if that's not enough, the Roku TV operating system is our hands-down favorite.

I try to conceal the situation from them as much as I can. It's really upsetting for two kids who are trying to process their parents' separation. And sometimes I just feel like this is all a bad dream and that I'm going to wake up at some point. But no, it's real.

TVs have come a long way in recent years, and 4K resolution is no longer reserved for the most advanced and priciest models on the market. In fact, just about any TV larger than 32 inches on store shelves right now will have 4K picture, and there are plenty of budget-friendly options to choose from.

What is the best laptop? The Apple MacBook Air M2 is currently our top laptop choice for most people. It offers a great combination of everything we look for when we're testing: reliable everyday performance, long battery life and a design that works for a broad range of users. The latest MacBook Air starts at $1,199, which is why we still recommend the 2020 MacBook Air M1 as a lower-cost alternative to the newest Air model, as it's still an all-around excellent laptop. For those looking for a more value-oriented option, Acer's Swift 3 is our current recommendation. Well-configured older versions are available for right around $1,200.

One day after ending an eight-game postseason losing streak, the Cleveland Guardians will look to record another milestone when they face the visiting Tampa Bay Rays in Game 2 of the best-of-three American League wild-card series on Saturday.

Apple MacBook Air M1 2020




Best MacBook for basics












Despite the availability of the new bigger and better M2 MacBook Air, the M1 MacBook Air (one of the first to switch from Intel to Apple silicon) is staying around and that's a good thing. As Apple's entry-level laptop it is still our go-to recommendation for a MacOS laptop for basic everyday use. It has great performance and long battery life -- up to 18 hours -- and is a solid choice for school or work.

Dell XPS 13




Best MacBook Air alternative











The Dell XPS 13 is a perennial favorite for its size, weight and performance and just overall good looks. In 2020, Dell made the laptop even smaller, while making the laptop screen larger and increasing performance for both CPU and graphics-intensive tasks.

This TV first came out in 2020 but is still a current model and remains my top choice. TCL also sells an , but I don't think it's worth the extra money, as well as a  I have yet to review (although according to TCL its image quality is the same as this Roku version).
