LiberNovo Maxis review: A clever and comfortable office chair for big and tall users

Image
What you need to know Engineered for users 5'10" to 6'7" Reinforced frame with weight load up to 399 lbs Motorized lumbar support and bionic FlexFit backrest Built-in fan and OmniStretch massager Controlled recline with Dynamic Support I get it. Most people won’t need the LiberNovo Maxis. Most people will see the price, baulk, and close the website. It’s expensive, its headline features run on a rechargeable battery, and it’s more chair than your everyday hybrid or remote worker needs. But it’s also ergonomic, stunningly designed, cleverly engineered, and built for big and tall users without the usual flabby, foamy designs that I see for half or even a quarter of the price of the Maxis. It’s also one of the best office chairs I’ve tested. If you're over 5'10", you'll want to check this out. On top of that, the model I’m reviewing here - the Maxis Airflow - incl...

Boulies EP600 office chair review: So good it almost dethrones our top mid-range desk chair

Image
I’ve always found Boulies to be a well-priced option in the office chair arena, and having tested several of them, the EP600 is easily the most comfortable. Of course, that’s expected. This chair is packed with a range of adjustments for getting comfort levels just right - and I especially like the inclusion of the adaptive lumbar support and 6D armrests. Yes, some of the adjustability mechanisms are a little fiddly, but it’s pretty much set-and-forget once you’ve got them in place. Now, the EP600 isn’t for absolutely everyone - I think if it were fifty or a hundred bucks cheaper, it’d easily topple the FlexiSpot C7 as the top mid-range pick in my guide to the best office chairs . Although it is first and foremost a home office desk chair, I used it for several gaming sessions and found it a good pick for work and play. As it stands, you’ll need to be at your desk a lot to truly justify the outl...

Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 business laptop review

Image
I still think the ThinkPad line-up is the top pick for business professionals, with 14-inch laptops being the sweet spot for screen clarity and portability. The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 does nothing to change that. It’s durably built, smart and stylish, and performance-driven for day-to-day work. And yes, it still has that iconic ThinkPad keyboard and trackpoint for those that write a lot of emails, reports, or the next New York Times bestseller. The NPU on the AMD model reviewed here hits up to 50 TOPS for AI workloads (the Intel model caps out at up top 48 TOPS), which is plenty of general office AI use, running Copilot+, blurring webcam backgrounds, and using tools in software like the Adobe suite. As part of the ‘s’ range, the T14s Gen 6 is marginally slimmer than the traditional T14, stripping out certain enterprise features like the Ethernet port and upgradeable RAM. If that's important for ...

Arzopa Z3FC review: An ultra-light and thin portable monitor that's perfectly balanced for work and play

Image
Arzopa Z3FC: 30-second review Ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight, high-resolution. There are plenty of reasons why the Arzopa Z3FC is an attractive display for those looking for an easily portable monitor for work and play. I was thrilled with the overall performance. On-screen images look sharp and clear in 2.5K, and in my gaming tests, it handled 120Hz refresh rates with ease. I even found myself missing the sleek second screen when it wasn’t sitting on my desk. You get everything you need in the box, including USB-C data and power cables, and a mini HDMI to HDMI lead. There’s also a protective case which is a little too light-gray for my tastes, but does a good job of protecting the screen if you’re stashing the display in a backpack. Now, it’s not entirely perfect. The main point of issue is color coverage - at 107% sRGB, it’s fine for most people but not creative professionals. There’s no battery...

‘Pure, beautiful minimalism’: the reMarkable Paper Pure delivers a flawless pad-and-pen experience — but I still can't believe there's no frontlight

Image
reMarkable Paper Pure: Two-minute review reMarkable’s new Paper Pure is the company’s cheapest and most accessible black-and-white handwriting tablet. Comparisons to the now-discontinued reMarkable 2 are inevitable. The Paper Pure is the reMarkable 3 — or perhaps the reMarkable 2.5 — in all but name. Now, I absolutely adore my five-year-old reMarkable 2. I use it pretty much daily for work and play. So, I was a little dubious about this thrusting young upstart muscling in. A budget reMarkable with no frontlight, the same old 226ppi, and a plastic shell? In 2026? That’s something absolutely nobody was asking for. Unboxing the tablet, I prepared myself for disappointment. Happily, I was wrong. The Paper Pure is a surprisingly good device, delivering a faultless writing and sketching experience that’s as close to using a pad and pen as you can get at this price point. All reMarkable devices focus o...
