I’m not buying a Garmin Fenix 9 at those prices — here’s what I’m looking at instead

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Do you ever feel that some smartwatches have just too much smartwatch in them? That’s what struck me when Garmin announced the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro today. Sure, they look like great devices — but at over $1,000 / £850 / AU$1,500 a pop, I’ve been wondering how many people actually need everything they have to offer. I know I don’t. While I love working out, I’m not a pro athlete and don’t need anything like the suite of features you get with Garmin’s new watches — but Garmin's first live event launch seemed aimed at people like me, the Apple Watch crowd. It's telling Garmin didn’t actually mention how much they cost during the show itself. If you feel like me and baulk at the expense required to slap one of these devices on your wrist, it’s not all bad news. There are plenty of other options out there, and none of them will break the bank in quite...

I fell for the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft hype and now regret it — its monochrome sibling is the superior Amazon slate in my book

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support I’ve been reviewing ereaders and epaper writing tablets for nearly a decade now and, in that time, I don’t think I’ve been more excited about an E Ink device as much as Amazon’s Kindle Scribe Colorsoft . When it was announced in October 2025, I was keen to see how well Amazon had implemented the E Ink Kaleido 3 screen technology on the 11-inch note taker, especially since I found the 7-inch Kindle Colorsoft ereader to be one of the better-optimized displays in this category of tablets. I had to wait over six months after it was initially available to buy in the US — living in Australia meant I could finally lay my hands on it in June this year — but I happened to try the 3rd-generation Kindle Scribe with frontlight first. Following that up with the Colorsoft version was probably a bad idea because I think the 2025 Kindle Scribe is arguably the best Kindle A...

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support United’s new Airbus A321XLR begins service soon, and it’s packed with tech It’ll mostly serve international, transatlantic routes with free Starlink-powered Wi-Fi The big surprise? Two Economy Plus rows with no middle seats Just a few months back, I got to go inside United’s next-generation Boeing 787 Dreamliner , complete with a high-tech new interior, spacious seats, and some notable upgrades for Economy. The 787 is a wide-body aircraft built for United’s biggest and longest routes, and now, the airline is bringing that same design philosophy to a much smaller plane and experimenting with something I’ve never seen on a United aircraft before: an Economy Plus row with no middle seat. I’ve been inside United’s brand-new Airbus A321XLR, a single-aisle aircraft that’s designed to bridge the gap between narrowbody efficiency and widebody distance capabilities, a...

Plug-in solar kits become legal in the UK tomorrow —but will you be buying one?

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Plug-in solar kits become legal in the UK from August 27 These lower-cost solar panels are ideal for renters and flat owners We want to hear from you in our poll below — will you be buying one? Plug-in solar kits become legal in the UK from August 27 , which makes that date a pretty significant one in the UK's energy history. That's because these kits are, in theory, a much more affordable and user-friendly way to bring the bill-cutting benefits of solar power to your home. The UK government estimates that plug-in panels could save households up to £70-£110 a year on their energy bills. For renters and flat owners with little roof space, they represent a long-awaited new alternative to pricey rooftop installations. Instead, as their name suggests, you can theoretically plug them directly into your mains electricity, and place them outdoors in places l...
