If you're buying a foldable-screen flip phone, you should get a Razr. If you want the best one, you should get the new Motorola Razr Ultra. That's what you need to know. Flip phones certainly aren't for everyone, so that's the qualifier for this purchase. If you're looking for a device with the small footprint that a Razr Ultra provides, with Snapdragon 8 Elite-level performance, then that's what you get.

I just got back from Microsoft Build, which was in Seattle, and it always feels like I'm going somewhere. Whether it's CES in Las Vegas, Computex in Taipei, IFA in Berlin, Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, the Valnet offices in Montreal, or even just a few days in New York for something or other, there's always something on the calendar. For me, there's a science to traveling. Everything that goes in my bag has a purpose. And I like a good deal of options when I travel.

I first saw the Asus Zenbook A14 at a CES pre-briefing in December, and I instantly fell in love with it. It's so deliciously thin and light, seemingly making no compromises. When CES rolled around, I gave it an award because it was one of my favorite laptops at the show. There are two models, one of which weighs under a kilogram and one of which weighs just a bit more than that; it's less than two-thirds of an inch at its thickest point.

HP only has one Computex announcement this year, a mid-tier consumer laptop called the OmniBook 5, something that probably would have been called a Pavilion in a past life. Starting at $799, it's a pretty neat device. It comes with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus 8-core, which is great for battery life but not for much else. But that's paired with an FHD+ OLED display, a solid keyboard, and an aluminum and plastic chassis that weighs in at under three pounds.
