Haley Henschel — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 13:39:28 +0000

They make the Apple MacBook Air feel chonky.

Chance Townsend — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 03:36:51 +0000

It very much feels like the same car as last year, but a whole lot smoother.

Sony Honda Mobility showed off the AFEELA 1 electric vehicle again at CES this year. If, like me, you saw it last year, the experience will feel very familiar. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The AFEELA 1 still looks polished, still leans hard into its …

They may be useful, but that doesn't stop them from being wild.
