ReMarkable Paper Pro Move Review: A Pocket-Sized ePaper Tablet Built for Portability, with Some Notable Caveats

If you’re constantly moving between offices or traveling and need a genuinely portable digital notepad, the reMarkable Paper Pro Move delivers on its promise. The writing feel is impressively paper-like, the battery life actually lasts two weeks, and it fits in a back pocket. But the small 7.3″ screen makes extended writing uncomfortable, and the Connect subscription paywall for basic features feels kind of unnecessary on a device that already costs $449.

Lenovo Self-Charging Bluetooth Keyboard Review: The Solar-Powered Typing Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed

When we first saw the Lenovo Self-Charging Bluetooth Keyboard at CES 2025, I was super excited. It’s a little weird to get excited about what is, in effect, a regular old keyboard, but Lenovo made several tweaks that turned a simple keyboard into a truly pleasant experience. Sometimes it’s the game-changers that catch your attention, and sometimes it’s the little things that make your life that much easier. This keyboard is definitely the latter, but it’s still a home run for the category!

LiberNovo Omni Dynamic Ergonomic Chair Review: The Chair That Refuses to Let You Sit Still (In a Good Way)

If you’ve ever stood up after a long day of work and felt like you just survived a car crash in slow motion, you already know the quiet cruelty of a bad chair. Cushions deflate into sad pancakes, armrests turn into medieval torture devices, and “lumbar support” somehow manages to miss your lumbar completely. After eight hours, your spine is ready to file for divorce. Enter the LiberNovo Omni, the smart chair that raised $8.5 million on Kickstarter. It claims it can save your back — but is it here to rescue you, or just pad your chiropractor’s retirement plan?

Lenovo Yoga Book 9i Gen 10 Review: A Lightweight Dual-Screen Laptop with Serious Multitasking Skills

There are laptops, and then there’s the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i Gen 10, a machine that refuses to pick just one screen and call it a day. This is a dual-screen OLED laptop that wants to be your everything: your workstation, your sketchpad, your movie screen, your note-taking companion, and maybe even your portable creative studio. Lenovo clearly looked at a regular clamshell laptop and thought, “Cute. But what if we just… doubled it?” The result is a device that is simultaneously delightful and a little maddening, brilliant and occasionally frustrating, but always interesting. And that’s part of its charm.
