iPad is no doubt the pioneer in tablets, and while I agree that it is a capable device, it is hardly paper-like, so I could say it is not a true notepad replacement. I mean, the Retina display is bright and vibrant, but if you are looking for a productivity […]
Black Shark is making a comeback. After withdrawing from the gaming phone market years ago, the brand continued operating by selling accessories like cooling fans for gaming, smartwatches, and even energy drinks. Now, it looks like it has decided to dabble in the gaming hardware space again, starting with a […]
If you are in the market for an affordable Android tablet that refuses to behave like one, the new Poco Pad X1 might be worth a serious look. It is not a flagship tablet, but it also does not act like a watered-down compromise. Instead, it aims squarely at people […]
This is the Note Air5 C Color ePaper Notebook, BOOX’s latest digital scribble machine, and the clearest sign yet that we should stop calling laptops “notebooks”. A notebook is for writing, doodling, and pretending to be productive. That is the Note Air5 C. It is a digital notebook with actual […]
If you ever need a real-life example of the saying “adversity breeds strength”, look at Huawei.

It has resulted in home-grown chips and an OS that I bet Steve […]
There are tablets, and then there’s the kind of tablet that looks like it’s moonlighting as an e-reader while pretending to be a productivity tool. That’s exactly what the new TCL TAB 8 NXTPAPER 5G is—a compact, 8.7-inch (22.1 cm) slate that tries to be everything everywhere all at once. […]
In addition to Apple Vision Pro, the iPad Pro is also the proud recipient of the all-new Apple silicon that promises a big leap in AI performance. The new iPad Pro also benefits from faster storage, and of course, the goodness of iPadOS 26 out of the box. The star […]
After years of giving us digital paper to read on, Amazon decided we should also deface that paper—politely, of course—with scribbles. Thus, the Kindle Scribe was born. Then came the 2024 refresh, when it became part eReader, part digital notebook. Now, Amazon is taking that hybrid dream to its logical […]
The good ’ol pen-and-paper combo is a proven method for capturing ideas—and perhaps even jotting down the number of the girl or guy you adore. The latter was replaced by the phone decades ago, and you could say the former has also kind of been replaced by the phone. But […]
With Huawei, everything is going the smartphone way. It is not just the TV that has adopted the way of the smartphone; the latest iPad mini competitor, the MatePad Mini, is also marketed as a “small tablet, big smartphone.” And smartphone indeed it is because you can make calls on […]
Tablets used to be the “forgotten middle child” between phones and laptops. But Samsung wants you to stop using them as oversized Netflix machines and start treating them like serious tools again. Enter the Galaxy Tab S11 Series, Samsung’s latest attempt at making you feel guilty for using a $1,000 […]
