  • Boox Go 10.3 review: An e-ink iPad alternative, designed for productivity

    As someone who has, yet rarely uses, a reMarkable 2 e-ink tablet I am constantly on a lookout for such a device that doesn’t feel super laggy all the time. The writing is massively superior to the iPad experience (even with replaced nib on the Pencil and “paper like” screen cover) but the general experience leaves much to be desired. (My brother feels differently) Unfortunately reMarkable went colour for their new model, otherwise I’d have been willing to give it a go. 

    Have you tried other e-ink tablets Thomas? I’m of the once bitten, twice shy variety…

    And yes, @Snookie this is an iPad alternative for those for whom it fulfills necessary roles better than the iPad does. You, plainly, don’t qualify. No reason to be so dismissive.

  • Control Ultimate Edition will land on Mac February 12, 2025

    Although the game will be stretching into its 6th year when it’s first released natively on Apple hardware, I really look forward to seeing how Apple’s ray tracing implementations compare to Windows. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that Digital Foundry will have a look.

  • Apple Vision Pro's ultra-wide Mac display mirroring is the killer app spatial computing ne...

    I’m inclined to agree, to the extent that this is a need to have, not a want to have for myself to purchase the product. Once it’s available, I’ll go in for a demo. I still doubt it will have sufficient use cases for myself to plunk out for it, but most of my doubts will be confirmed or debunked on use.

    I do look forward to the release of a version that fits my needs, whatever those may be in relation to a paradigm I have not worked in before… ;)

  • iPad mini 7 review: a more mighty micro tablet

    Jelly scrolling is apparently still there, but it's just not something I notice, look for, or care about. Looking at the display with slow-motion cameras will show the effect, but that's not how I or anyone will ever view this display.”

    That you can only see it when slow motion cameras reveal it to you is lucky for you. I see it without that and it’s why I don’t have one… I will be checking out the mini 7 in the coming days to see if I like what has been done to it or if I need to wait another generation.

    I am writing this on my M4 iPP, which is my 95% computer. I would love to have a tablet that returns my use case to what it was with the OG and iPad 2, just a screen with a cover and the mini would allow for that… because the Pros are too unwieldy to do that for me.

  • Apple stuck the Mac mini power button on the bottom

    Just the oddball in me, but I wish they’d put the power button in the Apple logo on the top…
