Finally, a colour Kindle. The dominant force in ereaders, Amazon, finally brought colour eInk to its range of devices – and we’ve reviewed it. The Kindle Colorsoft is a solid premium ereader, ideal for readers of comics and graphic novels. The company has upgraded page-turn speeds and a handy pinch-to-zoom function makes it easier to fully enjoy detailed images.
But at $280, it’s expensive. More expensive than rival colour ereaders, too. However, it’s hard to argue against the convenience and ubiquity of the Kindle ecosystem. The library is seemingly endless (with regular discounts on books and titles you plan to read), complemented by Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited. If you’re tempted, check out our detailed review and comparison with other ereaders.
With the Action 5 Pro, DJI finally has a worthy rival to the GoPro and Insta360 action cams. With great battery life and solid image quality, the only drawback is slightly less-sharp video. However, if low-light performance is important, go straight to the Action 5 Pro. DJI’s new action cam costs $350, while the Hero 13 Pro and Insta360’s Ace Pro 2 cost $400. The DJI beats both in terms of battery life and is on par with its rivals in terms of stabilization.
After the 24-inch iMac and then the lovely new Mac mini, Apple is also bringing its M4 chips to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. And, in addition to the base M4 chip and the M4 Pro, they can also be configured with the recently announced M4 Max.
As well as the internal spec boost, the new MacBook Pro has slightly brighter screens that can reach up to 1,000 nits of SDR brightness (compared to 600 nits before), and there’s also a nano-texture display option that significantly reduces glare for those working in very bright environments or in direct sunlight.
While the use of generative AI in games seems almost inevitable, as the medium has always toyed with new ways to make enemies and NPCs smarter and more realistic, watching several NVIDIA ACE demos back to back really gave me stomach pain.
It wasn’t just slightly smarter enemy AI – ACE can create entire conversations out of thin air, simulate voices and try to give NPCs a sense of personality. It’s also doing this locally on your PC, powered by NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs. But while this might all sound good on paper, I hated nearly every second I saw the AI NPCs in action.
