Two-minute review (Image credit: Future / Philip Berne)  Finally, a Kindle you can write upon… said who, exactly? If you’re a student or academic, you’ll be disappointed by the limitations on how you can annotate books. If you’re trying to be productive, this is far from a productivity tool. If you’re into journaling, there are better options for writing tablets, though admittedly nothing handles reading and books quite like the best Kindle ereaders.   That’s the bottom line – the Kindle Scribe is a great, big Kindle, and Amazon doesn’t try to take the device much further than adding a few basic writing features; less than you’ll find on any competing E Ink tablet with a pen. The reMarkable 2 has many more writing templates and more robust pen options, and the Onyx Boox Tab Ultra runs Android 11 and can convert text to type as you write.  The Kindle Scribe has its advantages. It has plenty of storage and amazing battery life, and it’s one of the cheaper writing tablets w

It’s rare for a third-party controller to almost completely outclass what’s offered by manufacturers like Nintendo – which is what makes the 8BitDo Ultimate controller for Nintendo Switch so noteworthy. First impressions of the 8BitDo Ultimate are strong before you’ve even loaded up a game. The packaging is pleasingly compact, containing the pad, its charging dock, and a USB-C cable, and upon holding the controller for the first time its quality is immediately apparent. The 8BitDo Ultimate is ergonomically sound, thanks to the rounded design that rests easily in your grip. The textured grips ensure that you’ll have a firm grasp on the controller at all times, even when your palms get sweaty in the heat of battle. Button and stick quality is fantastic across the board, too, offering a tactile experience that’s an improvement over the already excellent Nintendo Switch Pro Controller . It’s also a top choice if you’re after a level of customizability not afforded by the Pro Controller

LG Tone Free T90Q: two-minute review The LG Tone Free T90Q are the latest release from LG’s Tone Free range of true wireless earbuds.  We were impressed with the very similar-looking LG Tone Free FP8 , launched in April 2022. However, the one major difference here is that the T90Q now include Dolby Atmos head tracking support, delivering an immersive listening experience akin to Apple’s Spatial Audio in the AirPods Pro 2 .  We tried this out when the T90Q first launched, and wrote a highly complimentary feature detailing our delight at LG's head-tracked immersive solution when compared to our AirPods Pro. But of course, this is the full story: how they perform across the board.  Another change for the T90Q (over the slightly older FP8) is that you can now transmit Bluetooth audio from analog sources now via the 3.5mm port in the charging case. This is a cool feature, although not everyone will have a use for it.  These buds are clearly positioned as AirPods competitors with

Antwi H10: One-minute review The Antwi H10 is a quirky electric scooter from London-based Antwi, a newcomer in the electric scooter market. It features a 300W motor that provides enough power to take you from A to B quickly, especially if A and B aren’t from each other. Said motor isn’t the most powerful on the market, and it might struggle to get you up hills.  Thanks to its foldability, the Antwi H10 can be carried around easier than full-size scooters, making it all the more ideal for commuting. The ambient light under the deck not only looks fun, but when combined with the bright front and rear lights, it ensures you’re always visible on the road, no matter the light conditions. The puncture-free tyres provide a firmer ride, but in return, you don’t have to worry about getting a flat when you’re out and about. The Antwi H10 is definitely not the best cheap electric scooter ; there are many inexpensive models on the market with similar specs. It’s also not the best electric scoo

Adobe Illustrator is a powerful, complex, and highly versatile vector-based graphic design software that has been around for what seems like forever. As such, it has greatly evolved since those early days, has legions of dedicated professional users, and keeps going from strength to strength. Case in point, Adobe released version 27 in October (also called Adobe Illustrator 2023), and we thought we’d check out what the newest features bring to the table. This latest update doesn’t introduce earth-shattering concepts or features - however, Illustrator was already a very powerful, versatile and stable behemoth. What’s brought to the table simply improves upon an already excellent tool. Adobe Illustrator 2023: Pricing & plans If you love subscriptions, you’ll love what Adobe has to offer  Adobe is a subscription powerhouse: all of its professional software can only be obtained that way. The advantage, of course, is you’ll be able to download and use the latest features as and

Key information - Launching on Monday, December 5 on HBO (no UK release date set yet) - Third and final season in the HBO-BBC adaptation - Comprises eight episodes - Two-episode weekly releases until December 26's series finale - Based on Philip Pullman's iconic fantasy novel series - Written by Jack Thorne - Stars Dafne Keen, Amir Wilson, Ruth Wilson, and James McAvoy Two years is a long time in the TV industry. Popular shows can find themselves replaced by others if the gap between seasons is big enough, thus undoing all their good work at building an established fanbase. His Dark Materials season 3 falls into that category. The HBO Max show ’s second season ended in December 2020 and, while the pandemic played a large role in season 3’s delayed release, viewers have had to wait a long time to find out how Lyra and Will’s story ends. So, has the wait been worth it? Yes but, like its predecessors, His Dark Materials season 3 sporadically creaks under the weight

Amazon Echo Dot with Clock (5th gen): Two-minute review The Echo Dot with Clock (5th Gen) is, unsurprisingly, more evolution than revolution – but Amazon has done a great job over the years of providing some of the best smart speakers that don't cost a fortune, and it keeps up the tradition well. The new Echo Dot with Clock is probably not worth upgrading to if you already own an earlier Echo Dot (particularly the 4th generation). However, many of us own more than one Echo Dot. After all, these are the ideal devices to scatter around your home to make things smarter. The Amazon Echo Dot (5th generation) with clock takes mere seconds to set up. We set it up half paying attention to the Alexa app on our phone and half paying attention to something on TV. Of course, this is extra quick if you already have an existing Echo setup at home. Still, even if you don't, it's remarkably intuitive.  As with the non-clock Amazon Echo Dot (5th generation), you now get a room tempera
