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

Image
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

Image
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...

Zoner Studio photo editor (2026) review

Image
Looking after your photos, cataloguing them, colour correcting them, improving them and all round preserving them is a job onto itself, and you need an excellent application to sort all of this for you, and more. Thankfully, there are a host of options for you to choose from out there, which creates a whole other problem onto its own: which one should you choose? I’ve looked at a few in the past, but now, it’s time to explore Zoner Studio. It's effectively a Windows-only take on both Photoshop and Lightroom. An entry-level or intermediate photo editor and organizer that stacks up as one of the best Adobe Photoshop alternatives for those new to this type of software.

Garmin Cirqa review: sorry Fitbit, but this is 2026's best screenless smart band

Image
Garmin Cirqa: One minute review (Image credit: Future) I’ve spent a week with the Garmin Cirqa screenless fitness tracker, wearing it constantly during sleep, exercise and rest to determine how comfortable it is in everyday life, and measuring it against an electrical heart rate monitor and other wearables to determine accuracy. After all my testing, I can confirm the Whoop and Google Fitbit Air have got serious competition. While some people will still want the AI-powered coaching from Whoop and Google Health, and others will want the screen-based interaction and notification features available on the best smartwatches , most users looking for a simple but high-quality screenless fitness tracker will be just fine getting the Cirqa. If you’re reading this review wondering how it compares to the likes of the Whoop MG and the Google Fitbit Air , you’ll already know what to expect from the design: ...
