Your PS5 boot up screen is looking a little bit different. To celebrate 30 years of PlayStation, the PS5 update includes the original PS1 boot up screen and sounds. There are also new home screen customizations and sounds that pay homage to previous generations of PlayStation console designs. My fav is PS2. #techtok #gaming #nostalgia #playstation

Does the PS5 Pro actually make games look better, like The Verge’s Sean Hollister discusses in our review? Here’s an attempt to show you, assuming mobile video compression allows! We captured these before/after clips ourselves, showing how the Pro has more detail than the original PS5 when you compare both systems’ 60fps “Performance” modes -- the modes that Sony says the vast majority of players already use because of their smoothness. Also, check out how PS4 game Bloodborne looks with the Pro’s new PS4 mode! #todayimtoyingwith #ps5 #ps5pro #playstation #techtok

Went to Apple’s showcase of its new Mac lineup in Los Angeles to finally see: how mini is the new Mac Mini? (Sorry, I only had this Apple TV as a reference.) #apple #mac #travel #techtok #macmini

The GPD Win Max 2 is a lilliputian computing dream: a tiny laptop that doubles as a gaming handheld, with an incredible array of ports. It’s surprisingly easy to type on, plays games as well or better than a ROG Ally or Legion Go, and supports two kinds of eGPUs. Keyboard and touchpad make navigating Windows easier than most handhelds. But you might not enjoy holding its stiff metal frame, and it’s better paired with a mouse! #laptop #gaming #gadgets #todayimtoyingwith #techtok

Tesla CEO Elon Musk surprised attendees of the “We, Robot” event by presenting a new, unexpected vehicle: a passenger van. The Tesla Robovan looked like something out of an Art Deco fever dream, with a sleek train engine-like shape and no visible wheels. Musk said that the vehicle could carry up to 20 people or be used to transport goods. Musk also pronounced it ruh-BO-vehn. #tesla #elonmusk #robovan #technews #vergecast

What's it like to play PS5 Pro? The grass is more lush, for one! We tried a whole bunch of games with PS5 Pro Enhanced patches, and it's easily the best way to play 'em, with no more ugly compromise between graphical detail and framerate. The ray tracing can be surprisingly good, too. But you'll want to sit close to your TV: most differences aren't easy to appreciate from a distant couch! #ps5 #playstation #ps5pro #gaming #techtok #todayimtoyingwith

Remember the original grey PlayStation from the '90s? Sony has dipped the new PS5 Pro in throwback grey, too -- a limited-edition PlayStation 30th Anniversary model. We just got our first look at both that whole collection, including throwback grey controllers, a PlayStation Portal and a PS5 Slim, plus the normal white $700 PS5 Pro. The Pro's main benefit is a more powerful GPU that promises you won't have to choose between resolution and frame rate; also, you get two USB-C ports on the front! #playstation #ps5 #ps5pro #retrotech #techtok
