With its stylish, mostly aluminum design and peppy everyday performance, the Dell Inspiron 13 5000 offers solid-enough ultraportable value. We'd just like a sunnier screen and roomier storage options.

When it comes to 15.6-inch laptops, mobile workstations make gaming rigs look like wimps—and the new king of the hill is Dell's costly but colossal Precision 7540, tested in a maxed-out Xeon/Quadro RTX configuration.

The HP Envy 13 (Wood Edition)'s walnut-paneled design stands out from the ultraportable crowd. Couple that with a 4K screen, solid components, and a reasonable price tag, and it's an attractive package.

The 26 pound drone and its cargo fell to the ground after somehow managing to sever its own parachute rope. It landed 150 feet away from a group of children.

Fly your DJI drone using a first-person perspective up to a range of 2.5 miles and race with up to seven other drones using the same low-latency system.

Placing a flamethrower, fireworks, or a gun on your drone is a serious no-no. Under US law, it's illegal to attach any dangerous weapon to a retail drone and could result in a $25,000 fine.

The cockpit glasses promise to give you a bird's eye view from the Anafi drone's 180-degree camera. The Anafi FPV bundle will go on sale early this month.

The DJI Mavic Mini weighs just 249 grams, so you can fly it in the US—and many other regions—without having to register it with the government. It has very capable specifications, but also some artificial limitations we're not happy to see.

The department currently has a fleet of 810 drones, which are used to monitor federal lands. Of those, 786 are Chinese-made and 121 come from DJI, the leading provider of consumer drones. DJI denies that its technology poses a threat.

The leading drone vendor developed the system to address safety and privacy concerns. The US Federal Aviation Administration is also drafting a rule that'll require all consumer drones to offer 'remote identification,' or what's basically an electronic license plate.

A new rule proposed by the Federal Aviation Administration would make it possible for the United States government to track almost all drones in the country.

The Secretary of the Interior has signed an order that calls for the US 'domestic production capability' to build small unmanned drones. China-based DJI accused the department of imposing 'politically motivated country of origin restrictions masquerading as cybersecurity concern.'

If you own a quadcopter or are planning to buy one, you should be aware of FAA rules for flying outdoors. Here's everything you need to know about owning and flying a drone for fun.

A Japanese drone startup said on Tuesday it was partnering with Unilever, the owner of Ben & Jerry's, to explore developing an ice cream drone-delivery service in New York.

While they might seem like toys, a high-quality quadcopter is a serious investment, and an easy way to add production value to a film project, or get a unique view on the world for your travel vlog. We've flown plenty, and these are the best drones in our tests.
