I’d recommend this Switch 2 all-in-one case over Nintendo’s official version having tested them both — and there’s one clear reason why

Turtle Beach PlayTrek 2-in-1 Case for Nintendo Switch 2: review The Turtle Beach PlayTrek 2-in-1 makes a good first impression. It’s quite sleek for a large Switch 2 carrying case, and also rather stylish. This is thanks to the dark grey color and the surprisingly elegant suede strip that runs around it, offset to the right. It features subtle blue and orange stitching, a nice detail and a nod to the color coding of the Joy-Con 2 controllers. (Image credit: Future) The material of the entire unit also impressed me with its ruggedness. The shell of the main compartment feels solid, too, with only a slight amount of flex. As for the detachable travel case on top, I appreciated the small rubber strip that runs along its back edge, as it provides a little more durability and protection when opening it up. What’s more, the entire case is pleasingly light and slender, which is all the more impressive c...

TP-Link Roam 7 review: I tested this travel router at my local café, and it turned public Wi-Fi into a secure private network

-

TP-Link Roam 7: 30-second review The TP-Link Roam 7 is a compact travel router that lets you connect to whatever internet you can find and turns that into your own private network. This helps reduce the need to reconnect all your devices in each new location; just connect the router and all other devices will connect automatically through it. The Roam 7 differs from a mobile router insofar as there's no internal SIM or battery; power is supplied through a USB source such as a power bank, and the internet connection comes from a range of available options, including Ethernet at a hotel or business, public Wi-Fi, your phone tethered or a USB modem. The size and weight are compact, so it’ll fit easily in a backpack or travel bag. The design is simple with a vented front: two fold-down aerials, and a customisable button on the side. Setup is quick with the mobile Tether app, which lets you use t...

I tested the RingConn Gen 3 for two weeks and it's the best choice if you don't want to pay Oura prices

RingConn Gen 3: One minute review RingConn has always been a solid challenger to Oura in the smart ring space, and after spending two weeks testing it, I can safely say the new RingConn Gen 3 continues that trend. You’ll get most of the same health, sleep and recovery tracking features as rivals in our best smart rings guide here, but without the monthly subscription that puts some people off buying a smart ring altogether. The Gen 3 tracks heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, respiratory rate, stress, activity and sleep. New additions include a haptic motor for some alerts and reminders, improved battery life and new vascular health trend insights, which are designed to give you a picture of your cardiovascular wellbeing over time. However, this version does feel similar to the Gen 2 that came before it. The design and app experience feel largely unch...

I watched the behind-the-scenes documentary Disney Worldbuilders and it's inspiring — but I wish they had turned it into a Disney+ series instead

-

After falling in love with Disneyland Handcrafted , I was excited to dive into the studio's latest documentary movie, Disney Worldbuilders . Directed by Leslie Iwerks, the new movie has a tiny runtime of 58 minutes and call me greedy, but I really wanted more. Disney Worldbuilders gets up-close-and-personal with some of Disney's most influential voices, where we learn about creative processes and their lasting impact on both cinema and the Disney Parks around the world. Even though I loved what I saw, I did feel as though Worldbuilders tries to squeeze too much into its runtime. Unlike Handcrafted, which solely focuses on Walt's vision for Disneyland in Anaheim, this jumps around between subjects, and I wish we'd had an episode for each person interviewed so we could've taken a deeper dive. The stacked line-up is made up of Bob Iger, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Kevin Feige,...

I wanted to love this weird foldable mouse from Logitech, but its underwhelming ergonomics and performance left me feeling disappointed

-
Image
Logitech Mobi Fold review The Logitech Mobi Fold is, without question, the weirdest mouse I have ever used in my life. This tiny, foldable travel mouse is focused on one thing above all: portability. Just like a clamshell phone from the noughties, it can fold in half, allowing you to easily slip it into your pocket if you’re working on the go. But even though the Logitech Mobi Fold’s exceptional portability is its clear USP, I have to ask… is it actually that necessary? After all, a lot of mice are already highly compact, and if you’re working on the go, you’ve probably got a bag to hold your laptop or tablet, right? I’d bet that your bag can fit a laptop and a mouse, so arguably, the thing that makes this mouse so special isn’t actually that game-changing. Still, the Mobi Fold has a few interesting features to run through, and you’re surely curious as to how such a strange model feels in use. So...

ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate (2026) review

-
Image
Photo Studio Ultimate 2026 is seen as ACDSee’s competitor to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, combining many image editing tools of both into a single package. For those looking for one of the best Photoshop alternatives , it's definitely up there. Although not quite as powerful as Adobe's dominant software or photo organizer Lightroom, it's a good place for those that want loads of advanced features without the pro-grade complexity found in Adobe's suite. I took the latest version for a spin to see what the newest features bring for photo editors. ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2026: Pricing & plans (Image credit: Future) Good value for one-off purchase and subscriptions Windows-only First off, the bad news: in a move that feels quite atypical in this day and age, Photo Studio Ultimate is Windows only, so if you run a different type of computer, you’re stuck looking for alternat...
