E-Ink tablets have always been intriguing to me because I’m a longtime lover of pen and paper. I’ve had probably hundreds of notebooks over the years, serving as repositories for my story ideas, to-do lists, meeting notes and everything in between. However, I turned away from physical notebooks at a certain point because it was just easier to store everything digitally so I always had my most important information at my fingertips.E-Ink tablets seem to provide the best of both worlds: the tactile satisfaction of regular notebooks with many of the conveniences found in digital tools, plus easy-on-the-eyes E-Ink screens.…

The best soundbars to boost your TV audio in 2024

Thankfully, you don't have to splurge for a five-speaker (or more) surround-sound system to improve your audio experience.

The best SSDs for PS5 in 2024

When Sony released the PlayStation 5 in 2020, it wasn’t possible to expand the console’s storage. Thankfully, that changed with a software update that the company pushed out less than a year later.

Sonos recently entered the game with its own voice assistant on its stellar-sounding speakers, and even lower-end models like…
