Onyx Boox Palma review: a tiny ereader like no other

-
Image
Onyx Boox Palma: One-minute review There are plenty of 6-inch ereaders, but there’s nothing quite like the Onyx Boox Palma. It mimics a smartphone’s design, right down to a rear camera, side buttons and a speaker on the top bezel.  With an aspect ratio of 2:1 on its 6.3-inch display as opposed to the roughly 4:3 (technically 8.9:6.7) of other 6-inch ereaders like the Amazon Kindle (2022) or the Kobo Clara 2E , the Palma doesn’t offer as much width while reading. It will, however, allow you to read in both landscape and portrait orientation, a feature that no other 6-inch ereader that I’ve tested offers.  If you’re someone who regularly reads on your phone only to suffer from eye fatigue, then the Palma is an easy switch to make. For others, the screen might feel too small and narrow. Still, its size is perfectly suited for reading on the go, and it’s remarkably lightweight too. To give it a little more grip, Onyx also has cases that resemble the ones you’d buy for your own phone.

Bulk Crap Uninstaller Review

-
Image
Uninstalling software from Windows should be easy, but sometimes it is not. Windows 11’s built-in software removal feature can often leave traces of the uninstalled software behind. This might be registry entries, or hidden data within your Windows profile directory.  As more and more of this orphaned data accumulates, your PC can slow down, which is where third-party uninstallers come in. One example is Bulk Crap Uninstaller , a utility that uninstalls software from Windows, including Windows Store apps. While alternative tools are available from large software publishers, Bulk Crap Uninstaller is maintained by Marcin Szeniak, a solo Polish developer.  Also known as BC Uninstaller and BCU, this is free and open-source software for Windows that is hosted on GitHub. Bulk crap uninstaller: Plans and pricing As noted, Bulk Crap Uninstaller is a free application, released under the Apache 2.0 open-source license. It is offered by the developer for use in private and commercial enviro

Nike Ultrafly review: The carbon-plated off-road cruiser

-
Image
One minute review If you’re the kind of runner who prefers to head out to the trails for hours as opposed to tackling the same stretch of pavement, the Nike Ultrafly is made for you. The Ultrafly is designed to handle up to ultra distances including racing, grabbing elements from Nike’s best running shoes like its ZoomX foam and a carbon plate, which on paper makes it sound like a Vaporfly for the trails. I’ve used a bunch of Nike’s trail shoes including the long distance, off-road focused Nike Wildhorse 8 and the ZoomX-packing Nike Zegama Trail. While I’ve enjoyed my time in the new Ultrafly, it’s not quite the shoe I thought it would be: it's not zippy and quick like the Vaporfly is on roads, but it is a workhorse.  Nike Ultrafly: Specifications Nike Ultrafly: Price and availability Priced at $250 in the US £229.95 in the UK AU$330 in Australia The Nike Ultrafly launched in July 2023 in limited quantities before going on wider release in August, priced at £229.95 / $

Nothing Ear (a) review: mellow yellow earbuds to herald Nothing's purple patch

-
Image
Nothing Ear (a): Two-minute review When it comes to Nothing's earbuds output, it's hard to stop oneself from playing a game of Spot the Difference. That's quite a fun game here, though, since almost all of the differences are vast improvements over anything Nothing has achieved before. All these incremental gains become especially impressive when you consider that this entry-level option from Nothing comes in at $50 / £30 cheaper than the company's last effort.  For the money, these are some of the  best noise-cancelling earbuds  of the year thus far. Their closest rival? That would be Sony's class-leading WF-C700N. While there's no 360 Reality Audio support in the Ear (a) and a few Sony-specific features are, of course, off the menu, the Nothing earbuds look more premium and feel more foxy. Their noise cancellation is a touch more robust and the sound is every bit as energetic, detailed and zealous, and (dare we say it?) a tad more expansive to boot. Did I m

BenQ GW3290QT monitor review

-
Image
BenQ has gained a reputation for producing high-quality monitors that exceed their price point. Their success with some of the best business monitors is noteworthy, and the GW3290QT is no exception. The big standout part of this monitor is that while most monitors opt for a sleek black, the GW3290QT has a white bezel, frame, and stand with some tricks up its sleeve—but more on that later. BenQ GW3290QT: Unboxing and First Impressions Unboxing the BenQ GW3290QT felt a lot like unboxing other BenQ monitors. The packaging is done well, and the monitor is safely secured in the box for transit. Immediately upon opening the packaging, I was shocked at the white frame. I knew the monitor would have a white frame, but I was still stunned to see it in person. 32-inch monitors continue to feel massive for me, so that was another area that stood out from the unboxing. Outside of that, the base is the other piece worth mentioning regarding this monitor. The base is where BenQ Decided to make

The Epson EcoTank ET-4850 is small enough to fit on your desk at home, while offering sufficient capacity and print speed to serve a pretty busy workgroup.  Like many of the best inkjet printers , it can print on coated photo paper, and while it cannot keep up with any of the best laser printers , the 15.5ppm (pages per minute) print rate is not bad for an inkjet.
