Our favorite flip phone, the Motorola Razr+, just got an update. The new 2024 Razr+ refines Motorola's excellent clamshell smartphone in several ways, with a more powerful chipset, boosted RAM, a bigger cover screen, and a brighter main display.

My original Framework Laptop 16 review unit, next to its replacement. In January, I spent two weeks with the most modular notebook ever made: the Framework Laptop 16. It’s a gadget nerd’s dream: you can swap out its keyboard, touchpad, ports — even its entire discrete GPU. You can transform it from a sleek work laptop to a decent gaming machine in two minutes flat, one which charges with the world’s first 180W USB-C power adapter.But at the time, I gave the Framework Laptop 16 a 5 out of 10. The product gave me multiple Blue Screens of Death, glitched, felt flimsy in places, and ran hotter and louder than its performance would suggest.

Not only that, they're particularly costly to run, and that's why all of them have a paid tier option that'll set you back $20 a month. However, LM Studio makes it possible for you to run a ton of different models locally, and now it's here officially for Snapdragon X Elite laptops.
