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...

I didn't think the Inzone M10S gaming monitor could get much better, then I tried the new Inzone M10S 2

Sony Inzone M10S 2: Two-minute review The Sony Inzone M10S was one of the best gaming monitors of 2024, offering uncompromising performance and a suite of practical tournament-ready features that made it the perfect choice for both professional and aspiring esports players. Now Sony is back with the Inzone M10S 2, a successor that delivers a number of small but nevertheless impactful upgrades while maintaining everything that made the original so good. It’s the same 2560 x 1440 resolution, but feels even snappier thanks to an increased 540Hz refresh rate and a lower 0.02ms response time. There’s even a dual mode, letting you bump the resolution down to 720p for a staggering 720Hz picture — invaluable for Counter-Strike 2 or Rocket League . If that wasn’t enough, it’s now even brighter, coming in at up to 1,500 nits rather than 1,300, with the same rich colors and impressive contrast. There’s a ...

Chuwi UniBook review: New Intel silicon makes it an affordable laptop, but it comes with a few caveats

-
Image
Chuwi UniBook: 30-second review The Chuwi UniBook is a 14-inch Windows laptop built around Intel's newly launched Core 3 304 processor, part of the Wildcat Lake family and the first Series 3 chip to appear in a laptop at this price. It weighs a claimed 1.2 kg, comes housed in an anodised aluminium chassis, and pairs a 16:10 IPS display with 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. Positioning this model directly against Apple's MacBook Neo, undercutting it by around $250 while offering a larger screen, the same memory and storage as the base Neo configuration, and a far wider set of ports. Early benchmarks of the Core 3 304 from other devices suggest genuinely strong single-core performance for a chip this cheap, which makes the UniBook one of the more interesting budget launches of the year on paper. The critical caveat is that macOS runs reasonably well with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, where...
