Verge Video

Becca Farsace and I pitched this video about finding the smallest television at CES 2024. But once we got to the show floor, we were swallowed up by gigantic 100+” screens, furniture centerpieces, and more TVs that turn into picture frames. As TV tech has progressed, have we forgotten about the tiny portables? Here’s our journey.

The Verge video team took a trip around NYC to compare noise-cancelling headphones from Apple, Sony, and Bose — including twenty-year-old QC-1s and a set of $1,300 aviation headphones. Then we sent them to an independent lab for more tests.

You can read more about those results here, but please watch me spend hours on a hot day outside for journalism.

Check out the trailer for our latest documentary, Lisa’s Final Act. It’s the story of how Steve Jobs’ revolutionary catastrophe of a computer, the Apple Lisa, earned a brief second life before being buried for good... literally. Coming soon!

Becca Farsace’s series Full Frame won both awards for technology video, and The Vergecast won People’s Choice for technology podcasts! Thanks to all who voted for us — our funky spring-shaped trophies are all thanks to you, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Next year: EGOT or bust.

A little under an hour to go before the first Starship launch, which means you have enough time to watch our video (or read our story) about the small community of people who’ve uprooted their lives to live near Starbase in Texas. A huge day for them!

The Apple Lisa was released in 1983, a year before the Macintosh changed personal computing forever. The Lisa was quietly discontinued after just a couple years... but boy, the Mac owes a lot to its predecessor. We got a chance to sit down and play with a Lisa — here’s what we learned.

We love the Stream Deck, and I thought I’d put my Mini through that Lumafield CT scanner. It’s simpler than you might expect inside!

Hi, readers and viewers! We’re experimenting with bringing you summarized video versions of our gadget reviews. Feel free to drop a comment and let us know what you think of this format.

First up, Monica’s review of the truly impressive (and pricey) Razer Blade 18.

1,610 miles driven. 130 miles ran. 9 miles hiked. 21 miles skied. Over 1TB of footage filmed across 9 different cameras, including four drones and three 360-degree cams.

And, approximately 300 coffees later... here’s our Apple Watch Ultra Review.

Watching Adi, Nilay, and Alex run around haplessly in Mark Zuckerberg’s failscape while being chased by a bunch of children is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a Verge video. I seriously can’t believe this thing shipped in its current state.
