‘Pure, beautiful minimalism’: the reMarkable Paper Pure delivers a flawless pad-and-pen experience — but I still can't believe there's no frontlight

reMarkable Paper Pure: Two-minute review reMarkable’s new Paper Pure is the company’s cheapest and most accessible black-and-white handwriting tablet. Comparisons to the now-discontinued reMarkable 2 are inevitable. The Paper Pure is the reMarkable 3 — or perhaps the reMarkable 2.5 — in all but name. Now, I absolutely adore my five-year-old reMarkable 2. I use it pretty much daily for work and play. So, I was a little dubious about this thrusting young upstart muscling in. A budget reMarkable with no frontlight, the same old 226ppi, and a plastic shell? In 2026? That’s something absolutely nobody was asking for. Unboxing the tablet, I prepared myself for disappointment. Happily, I was wrong. The Paper Pure is a surprisingly good device, delivering a faultless writing and sketching experience that’s as close to using a pad and pen as you can get at this price point. All reMarkable devices focus o...

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed review: Apple TV's new thriller features Tatiana Maslany's best role since Orphan Black

-
I never thought I'd find a Tatiana Maslany role I enjoyed as much as Orphan Black , yet here we are. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is Apple TV's latest thriller, following on from recent huge releases like Margo's Got Money Troubles and Widow's Bay , and it's another fantastic release from the streaming service. Here, Maslany plays newly divorced mother Paula, who has been spending time with Trevor (Brandon Flynn), a camboy. Since Paula's ex-husband has main custody of their daughter, she spends lonely nights talking with him, which inevitably leads to more. Unfortunately for Paula, her private life doesn't stay that way for very long. During a session with Trevor, a masked man bursts into his apartment and starts beating him up. Paula films the attack, only to be told it's "not a real crime" when she tries reporting it. Things take a darker turn from this...

The world's greatest laptop… almost. Dell's 2026 XPS 16 lands almost every blow perfectly, with only one exception: the ports

Dell XPS 16 (2026) Two-minute review Dell's XPS line finally returns at long last. The company may have shifted tack in its naming scheme, but the XPS has returned, and it's back with a bang. The Dell XPS 16 (2026) I have tested here is beyond impressive. With a clean, crisp aesthetic, stylised CNC black aluminum chassis, super-thin bezels, and a keyboard that genuinely makes you question what other laptop manufacturers have been doing for the last 10 years, it's otherworldly in appearance. There's no drama, no ostentatious LEDs or illuminated logos, just clean, tidy lines and materials that complement it perfectly. Even the screen (in my review spec, a 3K touch OLED 3,200 x 2,000 @ 120Hz) leaves little to be desired. (Image credit: Future) But that's not where it ends; it's how it performs that really drives home the point. Thanks to Intel's latest Panther Lake archit...

I tried Samsung’s huge Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, and its disappointing chipset lets down an otherwise fantastic media and gaming machine

Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra review: Two-minute review If you need a big tablet, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, which sports a gigantic 14.6-inch display that offers a 16:10 aspect ratio, which not only offers plenty of screen real estate compared to alternatives like iPads but also makes the S11 Ultra perfect for watching widescreen movies and shows. Of course, the large screen also lends itself well to productivity and gaming as well. Staying true to Samsung’s other ‘Ultra’ devices, the Tab S11 Ultra brings all the bells and whistles to justify its high asking price. Like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, an S Pen stylus is included in the box, while the full Galaxy AI suite takes advantage of the larger display with features like screen sharing in Gemini Live and drawing tools like Creative Studio and Sketch to Image . It also retains the IP68 water- and dust-resistant rating from its p...
