Bee has a glimmer of a good idea. It’s also great at making you question yourself.
Americans can now order Kobo e-readers and accessories from Amazon via Rakuten Kobo’s new storefront. Rakuten’s Amazon online store includes all of the current e-readers in its official lineup, including two of our favorite ebook readers: the Kobo Libra Colour and Elipsa 2E.
This is the kind of computer that can’t be reviewed in a matter of days, so we’re just getting started.
Small improvements and a price reduction go a long way for the MacBook Air and Macs as a whole.

Apple’s new tablet is exactly what you think it is. Which is fine.
Samsung Display’s bendy concept displays are always stunning, if not always practical. But rather than debate just how many compromises a foldable portable would require, or how pricy it might be, I choose to bask in its prototype glory!
Find more wacky Samsung Displays like the “flexible briefcase” in Allison’s whole story and her larger video.
Did they rebuild me better, stronger, faster? Not exactly! As I explain in my full story, the Hypershell Pro X made me feel like I had an extra energy tank, like the ones exosuit-wearing bounty hunter Samus Aran obtains in the Metroid games. Oh, and it works when you’re riding a bicycle, too!
AMD’s two new GPUs beat Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and put the pressure on pricing.
It felt like an extra energy tank in a Metroid game.
0The RTX 5070 is a solid card for 1440p gaming, though.

Can Framework fix budget laptops next? That’s the goal, and Framework CEO Nirav Patel says he’ll be dogfooding it himself, making this 12-inch laptop his daily driver for the foreseeable future. He wouldn’t tell me just how budget it’ll go yet.
It’s a watch. It’s a ring. It’s more jewelry than either, and that’s what makes it special.

Right after I published this review, the price increased to $79 from $39. That’s a big jump. While optional, the subscription adds the Sidekick feature, which I found very useful, so I’ve updated the review with my thoughts.
The company says it will honor the old price for current users, that the new price “reflects the full suite of new features” it has added to Plus, and that it will “continue investing in Plus through new features and expanding Sidekick.”
It’s the DJI Osmo Mobile 7 Pro. Personally, I prefer the Osmo Pocket 3’s dedicated camera instead of slapping my smartphone on a stick, but these hidden legs, arm, and snap-on eye are all pretty cool!

The thinnest foldable in the world might mark the start of diminishing returns.
0The RTX 5070 Ti delivers almost identical performance to the RTX 4080 with slightly less power draw.
Amazon’s now rolling out all the latest Kindle Scribe AI features to 2024 and 2022 Scribe owners in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. As I wrote in my review, the AI features are the 2024 Scribe’s most notable upgrade as they let you directly annotate a wider range of Kindle ebook pages.
The news comes a couple of weeks after Amazon also started letting users scribble down notes in expandable margins.

Three-way multipoint, even better sound, and a more comfortable design make these appealing if you’re willing to splurge.
