A new pair of smart glasses may seem like exactly what the world doesn’t need amid a bit of a backlash against the whole concept of these gadgets. But Snap says its new Snap Specs shouldn’t really be thought of as smart glasses at all. 

When Snap debuted its long-awaited smart glasses, Specs, earlier this year, the reveal was not only underwhelming but a genuine disaster. The glasses — which cost a whopping $2200 and are vaguely reminiscent of scuba gear — inspired jeers online and calls for the company’s CEO, Evan Spiegel, to resign. The company’s stock subsequently nosedived.

Snap has been experimenting with glasses for a decade and AR-enabled frames for the last five years. I’ve tried every pair, and it’s always been clear that the company was working towards something bigger. Specs, the company’s first consumer-ready AR glasses are exactly that.

TL; DR: The Dell 14S is a new affordable Windows laptop aimed at students and young professionals, with an aluminum build, up to 2.8K 120Hz display, all-day battery life, and four colorful finishes.
