Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and 12GB of RAM, it offers fast, responsive performance that ensures smooth gaming experiences and multitasking. OnePlus' own HyperBoost Gaming Engine feature further optimizes the hardware.

Games demand a lot from the device it is on, and meeting said demands is crucial. But, having powerful hardware isn't enough because certain chipsets support games better. The Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is recommended over the Tab S10 Ultra because the former runs the more stable Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDisplay:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Displays are critical to the user experience, so I hunted down tablets with the best touchscreens in their price range.

Windows tablets can play just about every game that's out there. It has no restrictions. On the other hand, Android tablets are restricted to mobile games, but you can expand that usability with an emulator.

For example, for my own downtime needs neither the BBC iPlayer nor Prime Video are in the AppGallery, but I found both using Petal Search. Unfortunately installs via this route do not support automatic updating, so users will have to do manual checks. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll of that noted, HarmonyOS looks familiar, both in terms of the general screen layout and how settings are organised and made. There's a control panel that can be swept down from the top right of the screen, and a notification panel accessed from the top left. Recent and pinned apps sit in a bar along the bottom of the main home screen. Some apps have associated 'snippets', which we might know better as widgets, that can be placed on a home screen.

Along with Getac's sunlight readability technology, this makes it suitable for viewing in a wide range of conditions. There's a three-button touch panel on the main screen allowing you to specify gloved hand, finger-touch or pen-based input, to help get maximum responsiveness from the touch screen. The screen's matte finish helps with outdoor readability, and viewing angles are good.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo the right of the screen (in landscape mode) there's a column of five buttons topped by a light sensor that reads the ambient light level and adjusts screen brightness accordingly. Two of the four buttons are labelled 'P1' and 'P2', and are programmable: by default these increase and decrease brightness. Two more are labelled '+' and '-', and by default are set to adjust volume, but are also programmable. The fifth button, coloured green and slightly raised, is the power button. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere's an 8MP webcam with a sliding privacy cover above the screen. Because the Getac ZX10 is designed to be usable by people wearing gloves, the privacy cover has a significantly protruding lip for easy sliding. There's also a 16MP camera on the back with an LED flash, which lacks a security cover. Getac provides its own camera software that caters for digital zoom up to 7.7x on both cameras, allows you to change resolution, use the flash and so on. It's basic, but works well enough. Don't expect fantastic quality images, but for general documentation and video calling the Getac ZX10's cameras are fine. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe bespoke camera app isn't the only on-board Getac app supplementing Android 11.

Audio output is disappointing, lacking both bass and volume.

It's a basic plastic housing with a slab of glass on top that's designed to just get the job done. It comes in three different colors -- black, denim and rose. The front-facing camera has been moved to the middle of the display when the Fire 7 is in landscape orientation, something that makes video calls from the small tablet easier. The front and rear cameras are each 2-megapixel sensors. Pictures and videos look okay, but not great. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"612a4088-8b26-4d88-9b98-c61305334f2d\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F612a4088-8b26-4d88-9b98-c61305334f2d\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENearly all of the ports and buttons are on the right edge of the housing when the tablet's laying on its side. There's a power button, volume up\u002Fdown buttons, a 3.5mm headphone jack and -- my favorite part -- a USB-C port for charging the tablet. The move away from micro USB across Amazon devices has been something the company is working on, and the addition of USB-C on the $60 tablet is worth pointing out. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fsmart-office\u002Fusing-the-wrong-usb-c-cable-can-damage-your-tech-heres-how-to-avoid-that\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EUsing the wrong USB-C cable can damage your tech.

With the 2022 version, that approach remains intact. Amazon is using a quad-core processor with 2GB of memory in the Fire 7, which the company says adds a 30% boost in performance compared to the 2019 model. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe 2GB of memory alone is double what was in the previous model, and it's a noticeable addition, especially when gaming. However, overall performance with the Fire 7 is something that will teach you to have patience. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"43a887bc-9a6d-4830-b290-f520f7aecc8a\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F43a887bc-9a6d-4830-b290-f520f7aecc8a\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen moving between various sections and aspects of the interface, such as opening the Kindle Store, Amazon Appstore and then viewing the Library tab, there are times when the tablet is quick and responsive. But then you tap on a search box, and there's a longer-than-expected delay for the Fire 7's keyboard to show up. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere's a dedicated gaming mode built into the Fire 7's operating system that automatically turns on when it detects you've opened a game (any game you've installed from the Appstore will trigger it). Game Mode optimizes the device's memory, hides notifications and disables the Alexa feature. Even with Game Mode, it can take a minute or two before a game becomes playable. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFrom what I can tell, as long as an app stays in memory, the performance boost is noticeable. But if you, for instance, exit the Silk Browser after browsing the web for a few minutes, and then return to it an hour or two later after using the Fire 7 for a different task, that next launch of Silk takes a few extra seconds to load. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn other words, the Fire 7's performance is good enough as long as you stay within a single app and don't expect it to be a multitasking workhorse. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAmazon touts 10-hour battery life for the Fire 7, another improved stat over the 2019 model. And, while I can't confirm 10 hours of use is possible, I can say that battery life is one area of the Fire 7 where I don't have any complaints. I had plenty of battery life left after streaming free live TV for a couple of hours in the Freevee app, browsing the web and attempting to play Roblox. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"1911d4f3-e443-4810-86ef-a8da11183447\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Jason Cipriani\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"Amazon Fire 7\" data-image-filename=\"464303a6-5c63-43f4-b805-c2d5476dbe1c.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F07\u002F13\" data-image-width=\"4032\" data-image-height=\"2268\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E A word about the software… and Alexa! \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the loudest complaints about any Amazon device is the lack of Google apps and services. The Fire 7 runs Amazon's Fire OS, which is based on Android, but Amazon has deeply changed and customized how it functions. Because of that, it hasn't gone through Google's certification process and therefore you won't find apps like Google Maps, Gmail or YouTube preinstalled or available in the Amazon Appstore. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDespite the lack of support for Google's apps, you can find most of the big name apps in the Amazon Appstore -- like Spotify, Disney+, Facebook and Zoom. It's not ideal for someone who has heavily invested in apps from Google's Play Store, or for someone like myself that relies on a password manager that isn't available in the Appstore. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the benefits of customizing the operating system on the Fire 7 is that Amazon is able to build Alexa directly into the device. That means you can use the tablet as a makeshift Echo Show device. There's a toggle to turn Alexa on or off in the quick settings panel. When it's turned on, you can say \"Alexa\" followed by a command or question the same way you would if you had a dedicated Echo smart display or Echo speaker. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlong with the ability to ask Alexa questions, you can view and manage your Alexa-connected smart home devices like cameras, lights and outlets using your voice or by tapping on the dedicated Devices button in the bottom navigation bar. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"918d32d5-49c3-4efb-ba49-cd1a555a0c42\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"Fire 7\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"Amazon Fire 7 (2022)","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Jason Cipriani\u002FZDNet","imageData":{"id":"5709679f-1bf5-4bf7-9176-a6e07c2a0f08","filename":"69b53a8f-b211-4abe-b577-6da253441ef6.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2022\u002F07\u002F13\u002F5709679f-1bf5-4bf7-9176-a6e07c2a0f08\u002F69b53a8f-b211-4abe-b577-6da253441ef6.jpg","dateCreated":{"date":"2022-07-13 16:23:50","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false},"uuid":"5709679f-1bf5-4bf7-9176-a6e07c2a0f08","imageFilename":"69b53a8f-b211-4abe-b577-6da253441ef6.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F07\u002F13"}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Jason Cipriani\u002FZDNet\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FFire-7-Tablet\u002Fdp\u002FB096WKKK2K\" data-offerprice=\"59.99\" data-offermerchant=\"Amazon\" data-techobjectinfo=\"{}\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EBottom line\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"ede9668b-e818-497b-bffe-84cdc4a584e0\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Jason Cipriani\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"Amazon Fire 7\" data-image-filename=\"008b1a1e-5b03-412e-b84e-98ff42e4cde9.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F07\u002F13\" data-image-width=\"4032\" data-image-height=\"2268\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"48645454-ded3-4e77-a1b6-f6033bfca334\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FFire-7-Tablet\u002Fdp\u002FB096WKKK2K\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Amazon's Fire 7 tablet\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003Eis once again a well-rounded experience as long as you take the cost into account when setting expectations.

I certainly never felt that things would come apart in transit. However, as with all devices of this type, working on a lap or any surface that's not firm is impossible. There is no lift mechanism for the keyboard either, so if you prefer a raised typing angle you'll be disappointed. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe optional Xiaomi Book S 12.4-inch Keyboard is comfortable to use. The keys are large, with plenty of travel, and have a pretty good action for a keyboard of this type. They emit only a slight dull 'thunk' in use. The QWERTY and character keys all have a slight indent, but the Fn row and other 'function related' keys such as tab, caps lock, shift, backspace and enter, as well as all of the bottom row, are flat. Visually the appearance is somewhat disjointed, but it didn't make any difference to typing for me, and I managed to work at close to my normal touch-typing speed. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe 12.4-inch screen sits in smallish bezels. It is a 2,560 by 1,600 panel, offering 244ppi in a 16:10 aspect ratio. The refresh rate of 60Hz is no more than adequate, but the 500 nits maximum brightness makes it possible to use this tablet outdoors. Colour gamut support is good, too, with Xiaomi claiming 100% of DCI-P3. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe touch screen is easy to work with, and Xiaomi also provides an optional Smart Pen stylus that attaches to the left short edge with strong magnets, charging wirelessly when in this location. There's no permanent housing for the stylus on the chassis, though, so you'll need to take care not to mislay it. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPorts and connectors are all on the tablet. One short edge has a volume rocker, a power switch, a 3.5mm headset jack, a USB-C port, a MicroSD card slot and one of the two speaker grilles. The other grille is on the other short edge. It's good to see a 1080p webcam here for video calls, while the rear camera is a 13MP unit. There's no fingerprint sensor, but \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.microsoft.com\u002Fen-us\u002Fwindows-hardware\u002Fdesign\u002Fdevice-experiences\u002Fwindows-hello-face-authentication\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EWindows Hello face authentication\u003C\u002Fa\u003E is available via the webcam in addition to a Windows password or PIN. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAudio output from the speakers is of reasonable quality and volume.

It handled the tasks I threw at it -- streaming content through a couple of browser windows and writing into web apps – well enough, but these are low-level workloads. As noted earlier I didn't run Geekbench 5 to see how the Xiaomi Book S compares with other tablets because this wasn't available in the Windows app store.

the Reviews Editor at ZDNET UK. My experience with computers started at London's Imperial College, where I studied Zoology and then Environmental Technology. This was sufficiently long ago (mid-1970s) that Fortran, IBM punched-card machines and mainframes were involved, followed by green-screen terminals and eventually the personal computers we know and (mostly) love. \r\n\r\nAfter doing post-grad research at Imperial for a while, I got involved in helping to produce a weekly news magazine based in Amsterdam. This was in the mid-1980s, and one of my duties was to set up data communications links with technologically-challenged national newspaper journalists in a number of European cities via a 300-baud modem and an acoustic coupler. Tech support people have my sympathy! \r\n\r\nI've been in computer publishing since the late 1980s, starting with Reed Business Publishing's Practical Computing, then joining Ziff Davis in 1991 to help launch PC Magazine UK as Production Editor. After a couple of years I switched to commissioning, editing and writing, becoming a Technical Editor and then First Looks Editor.\r\n\r\nWhen ZDNet came looking for a Reviews Editor in 2000, I was ready to make the move from print to online — just in time for the dot-com crash!

The 1000-nit IPS panel is bright enough for outdoor working in sunlit conditions, and the screen isn't overly reflective. The touch options for finger, glove and stylus input are all effective. However, the 10.1-inch screen's 1920 by 1200 (224ppi) resolution means you might need to adjust the scaling in Display Settings for certain tasks, as text and other on-screen elements may be just too small for comfort.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe front-facing camera handled Windows Hello face recognition effectively, and its 2MP\u002F1080p resolution is fine for video calls.

Hydrow provides very detailed instructions, labeled packages for the bolts, and the tools needed to piece everything together. In total, it took me about 20 minutes to assemble the Hydrow Wave, which includes attaching the feet, securing the monitor, connecting the footrests, positioning the rail onto the front assembly, and sliding the seat into place. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne thing I noticed was how much more polymer material was used on the Hydrow Wave in order to make it lighter. Another significant difference is the two-roller and two-idler seating, compared to a 10-roller seat on the larger Hydrow.

There are also news apps from The Guardian, the BBC, The Economist, The New York Times and more. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA USB-C connection to a computer allows content to be copied to a Boox device, and I found that worked very smoothly. Alternatively you can use BooxDrop, a QR-code based system that allows wireless content transfer to a Boox. It's a little convoluted, but it does work and supports file sharing from laptop, phone or tablet. Further data sharing comes via OneNote, Dropbox and Evernote, as well as the 5GB of provided cloud storage per Boox device, with login via the device's settings area. With many document formats supported, you should be able to access what you need. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere is a version of Chrome on board, and while this obviously renders web pages in monochrome, it functions quite well. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen it comes to data entry the ridged stylus is easy to hold, making it comfortable to create or edit\u002Fannotate existing documents.

I could not find a similar spot on the larger Max Lumi2, although its stylus has the same marking. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESEE: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fgartner-releases-its-2021-emerging-tech-hype-cycle-heres-whats-in-and-headed-out\u002F#link=%7B%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fgartner-releases-its-2021-emerging-tech-hype-cycle-heres-whats-in-and-headed-out\u002F%22,%22target%22:%22_blank%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22Gartner%20releases%20its%202021%20emerging%20tech%20hype%20cycle:%20Here's%20what's%20in%20and%20headed%20out%22%7D\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGartner releases its 2021 emerging tech hype cycle: Here's what's in and headed out\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOriginal content is placed into templates.

This is ideal for creating art projects, schematic drawings, flowcharts and the like. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBoth the Max Lumi2 and the Note Air2 have microphones and speakers, and recordings can be added into notes.

The smaller Note Air2 has a nicer design, with its blue and orange colour scheme adding a certain panache.

However, working in tablet mode isn't especially comfortable on a 16-inch device. It's heavy, and I found it impossible to hold one-handed, and a bit of a beast to prop up on my lap or the arm of a chair. However, sat on a table in tent mode or with the screen facing away from a downward-facing keyboard, it worked very well for content consumption.

My review unit had a UHD+ (3,840 x 2,400, 283ppi) OLED touch screen. Maxing out at 400 nits, it was sharp and bright -- even when running on battery power. Although I left the screen on default settings for my battery rundown test (see below), I might lower it to conserve battery life in day-to-day use. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe screen bezels could be narrower, with both top and bottom bezels a little deeper than those along the short edges, but the bottom bezel is gratifyingly small, catering for a 16:10 aspect ratio that makes for more document viewability. For the record, the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.silisoftware.com\u002Ftools\u002Fscreen_aspect_ratio_calculator\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Escreen-to-body ratio\u003C\u002Fa\u003E is 84.6%. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAbove the screen is the webcam which is a key feature of this laptop. The 5MP camera's shutter is activated by a hotkey rather than being a physical slider. This feels a little like overkill -- a potential point of failure less likely with a physical shutter. I'd hate it to get stuck in the 'camera covered' position. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA range of camera features are controlled via the HP Command Centre app. These include Auto Frame, which tries to ensure that you remain in view as you move around. Obviously this can't cater for every eventuality, but it's a help for those who shuffle about a bit during a video call, or get up to access a document from a shelf, for example. I found that it tracked me very well. Meanwhile, Light Correction does a good job of reducing shadows on the face and darkening the background during calls. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHP Command Centre also offers Beauty Mode -- the kind of feature more often seen on mobile phones. Basically it smooths out wrinkles. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe camera can also be configured for other duties in the HP Command centre, including locking and unlocking the laptop as you walk away and return, and giving a warning if you edge too close to the screen (on the basis that being too close is not good for your eyes). It can also be set to automatically cause the screen to dim if you aren't looking directly at it, a feature designed to conserve battery life. This worked well. However, Shoulder Surfing, which is designed to alert you if someone is looking over your shoulder, was a little too keen, alerting me to my own presence. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"dd64c940-107b-44a9-89e4-a52c8ce9040d\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe keyboard has a responsive action, but there's no separate number pad.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Image: Sandra Vogel \u002F ZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"hp-spectre-x360-16-keyboard.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"hp-spectre-x360-16-keyboard.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F01\u002F11\" data-image-width=\"770\" data-image-height=\"512\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"e7986e2b-8d1b-4695-89ad-f34d5c4d0f8b\" data-size=\"medium\" data-float=\"left\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe fingerprint reader occupies a separate key space.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Image: Sandra Vogel \u002F ZDNet \" data-image-alt-text=\"hp-spectre-x360-16-fingerprint-reader.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"hp-spectre-x360-16-fingerprint-reader.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F01\u002F11\" data-image-width=\"770\" data-image-height=\"491\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe full-size keyboard is a comfortable typing platform, with a springy and responsive action.

There are two straps for helping hold your clothing in place, but I found they do not function that well when the bag is rotated into backpack orientation and all of the clothes slide down to the bottom. Maybe a cross pattern would be more effective for securing clothing in a future revision. WaterField also offers a zipper-lock system for this compartment that helps secure that space.

On the backpack strap side, we find two large padded compartments that are perfect for your laptop, tablet, ebook reader, and other mobile gear. A mesh zippered pocket above these is a good place for cables or earbuds. The orientation of these pockets is perfect for easy access when you zip up both sides and can then reach down to pull out your gear quickly and easily. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere is padding on the back with an opening so you can slide the Air Travel Backpack onto a roller bag when the bag is in a horizontal orientation.

A removable sternum strap system is provided with four connection points to fit people of every size and shape. The securing mechanism for this sternum strap is extremely high quality with metal material and easy release, as expected from WaterField Designs.

The soft leather luggage handles are very comfortable and securely attached, so I never worried about overloading the bag. The stitching, zippers, interior lining, and shoulder straps are of the highest quality. In typical WaterField fashion, I expect this bag will look the same in 5-10 years, even with regular monthly usage. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe compartments are optimized for perfect placement for short business trips, and as someone who makes most of my trips in 3-5 days, it's clear this bag was designed for the regular business traveler. Another great aspect of this bag is that you can unload all of your clothing and toiletries in the hotel room and then carry this to the job site for work, with it appearing to be a slightly oversized backpack. This trumps the need to carry multiple bags for business travel and has been a great revelation on just the two trips I have taken so far. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESometimes I even make trips for mobile tech launches where I take a red-eye flight and land in the morning, conduct business all day long, maybe stay a night, and then fly out the next day.

It's very usable for mainstream business apps, browsing and video meetings in Teams, but (as noted below) the Windows 11 interface doesn't always feel as fast and performant as the benchmark results might lead you to expect. Interestingly, we saw better benchmark performance when using the Go 3's own charger, rather than the (official, Microsoft) charger from an earlier-generation Surface. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBattery life, as always, depends on what you're doing. Playing videos relies on heavily GPU hardware acceleration, so it's actually very power efficient and we were able to play videos continuously for slightly longer than Microsoft's claimed 11 hours. But with the screen set to only 36% brightness, web browsing, using Twitter, copying files and using Office apps like OneNote and Outlook used up 75% of battery life in just under two hours. Battery saver kicked in that this point and we got another 75 minutes of work done, adding up to a disappointing 3 hours and 15 minutes. For comparison, an original Surface Go running Windows 10 with only 50% charge gave us two hours of work in similar conditions. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOf course, with a tiny, lightweight tablet like this, you may not be settling down to work for hours, but grabbing the Go for a few minutes at a time and then closing the lid. We found the Go 3 was still a bit more power hungry than the original Go in those circumstances (using up 11% of the battery in 22 minutes rather than 6% in 18 minutes), so you may want to slip a battery bank into your bag when you're out and about. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Windows 11 \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMicrosoft told us that the Arm-based \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.microsoft.com\u002Fen-us\u002Fd\u002Fsurface-pro-x\u002F8XTMB6C575MD?=&ef_id=CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94z7Bjx9-CM8KQ0HdI02N4lYGaZw3Jmu5vaGQWAzUtbGmmz677L-ryHBoC2wIQAvD_BwE%3aG%3as&s_kwcid=AL!4249!3!533460293221!e!!g!!surface+pro+x&OCID=AID2200083_SEM_CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94z7Bjx9-CM8KQ0HdI02N4lYGaZw3Jmu5vaGQWAzUtbGmmz677L-ryHBoC2wIQAvD_BwE%3aG%3as&gclid=CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94z7Bjx9-CM8KQ0HdI02N4lYGaZw3Jmu5vaGQWAzUtbGmmz677L-ryHBoC2wIQAvD_BwE&activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ESurface Pro X\u003C\u002Fa\u003E will be the only Surface that ships only with Windows 11; on other devices like the Surface Go 3, users will have the choice, but our review unit came with Windows 11.

If you like Windows 11, you'll like it on the Surface Go 3. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut the joy of the Surface Go has always been that it's a real PC that can run standard Windows workloads -- just in a tiny, light and slim package. So if you find Windows 11 irritating on a larger screen, you may not like it much better here. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe found the Windows 11 touch affordances such as a large invisible border around windows, which is meant to make them easier to move or resize, actually got in the way. That's because they block what's behind the border -- like a browser tab you can see but not close or select. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWindows 11 may also disguise the true performance of the Surface Go 3. Some of what we initially thought was poor hardware performance was down to the inability to select and open apps reliably with touch. And when we attached the keyboard, focus would randomly switch from one window to another or move the cursor randomly inside text, while we were in the middle of typing. That's disappointing for a new operating system on what's otherwise nice new hardware.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"44fcacda-7db6-4fe6-a5a3-9f27f7d085a8\" data-size=\"medium\" data-float=\"right\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Image: Microsoft\" data-image-alt-text=\"surface-go-3-thumb.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"surface-go-3-thumb.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2021\u002F11\u002F15\" data-image-width=\"770\" data-image-height=\"578\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Conclusions \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELike the previous models, the Surface Go 3 shines as a portable device: it's perfect for working on an airplane tray table or a crowded train, and for throwing in a backpack or the kitbag in the back of a vehicle. However, battery life seems to have regressed either because of the new Core i3 CPU or Windows 11. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe high-quality 220ppi PixelSense screen makes watching videos fun, and the speakers and webcam make for excellent video calls in Teams. But you'll definitely want to pick the higher-spec Core i3 model, and unless you're a Windows 11 fan or really need a particular Android app, Windows 10 might be the better choice until more of the kinks are ironed out. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERECENT AND RELATED CONTENT\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fproduct\u002Fmicrosoft-surface-go-2\u002F\"\u003EMicrosoft Surface Go 2 review: A compact 2-in-1 for remote workers and mobile pros\u003C\u002Fa\u003E \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fsurface-go-first-look-small-light-and-the-best-cheap-pc-ever\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ESurface Go, First Look: Small, light, and the best cheap PC ever\u003C\u002Fa\u003E \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fmicrosoft-introduces-windows-11-se-new-250-surface-laptop-se-for-education-market\u002F\"\u003EMicrosoft introduces Windows 11 SE, new $250 Surface Laptop SE for education market\u003C\u002Fa\u003E \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fwhat-laptop-should-i-buy-windows-or-macos-plus-10-more-things-to-consider\u002F\"\u003EWhat laptop should I buy, Windows or MacOS?

This was in the mid-1980s, and one of my duties was to set up data communications links with technologically-challenged national newspaper journalists in a number of European cities via a 300-baud modem and an acoustic coupler. Tech support people have my sympathy! \r\n\r\nI've been in computer publishing since the late 1980s, starting with Reed Business Publishing's Practical Computing, then joining Ziff Davis in 1991 to help launch PC Magazine UK as Production Editor. After a couple of years I switched to commissioning, editing and writing, becoming a Technical Editor and then First Looks Editor.\r\n\r\nWhen ZDNet came looking for a Reviews Editor in 2000, I was ready to make the move from print to online — just in time for the dot-com crash! It's been a long road from punched cards to the cloud, but it'll still be fun seeing where we go from here.",profile:b,title:"Senior Editor",bio:c,bureau:"AU",awards:c,expertise:c,authorDisclosure:b},body:"\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"acbff6f8-eecf-4046-a36f-d750e21a5feb\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe 12.6-inch Huawei MateBook E with Smart Magnetic Keyboard and M-Pencil (2nd Generation).\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Images: Charles McLellan \u002F ZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"huawei-matebook-e-hero.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"huawei-matebook-e-hero.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F03\u002F06\" data-image-width=\"770\" data-image-height=\"392\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHuawei's \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fconsumer.huawei.com\u002Fen\u002Flaptops\u002Fmatebook-e-2022\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EMatebook E (2022)\u003C\u002Fa\u003E is an Intel-based 2-in-1 device comprising a 12.6-inch tablet and an attachable keyboard that incorporates a kickstand.

The keyboard attaches magnetically to the tablet, in landscape mode only, via a 3-pin connector and incorporates a kickstand that can support the tablet at a reasonable range of angles.

If you're charging the MateBook E, for example, there's no port left for data or video connections. Presumably you're meant to use Huawei's Super Device technology for various wireless connections, but that won't help those who don't go all-in on the Huawei ecosystem, who must either hang a dongle or docking station off that single port or go for the alternative backlit Glide Keyboard, which includes a USB-C port. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EApart from the Thunderbolt port, the sides of the MateBook E carry a combined power button and fingerprint reader on the left side (near the top), and a volume rocker on the top edge (on the left side).

After three hours, the battery ended up at 51%, which translates to around six hours of battery life in total.

It pairs automatically with the tablet, and the magnetic attachment with wireless charging is a good solution given that the MateBook E's slimness rules out on-device garaging. The stylus works well for note taking in OneNote, although double-tapping on the concealed touch key just above the stylus tip, to fire up Windows 11's snipping tool, was a bit hit and miss for me.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI found the Smart Magnetic Keyboard comfortable and responsive in use and didn't mind its flat-on-the-desk typing angle, although some may differ on this.

My experience with computers started at London's Imperial College, where I studied Zoology and then Environmental Technology. This was sufficiently long ago (mid-1970s) that Fortran, IBM punched-card machines and mainframes were involved, followed by green-screen terminals and eventually the personal computers we know and (mostly) love. \r\n\r\nAfter doing post-grad research at Imperial for a while, I got involved in helping to produce a weekly news magazine based in Amsterdam. This was in the mid-1980s, and one of my duties was to set up data communications links with technologically-challenged national newspaper journalists in a number of European cities via a 300-baud modem and an acoustic coupler. Tech support people have my sympathy! \r\n\r\nI've been in computer publishing since the late 1980s, starting with Reed Business Publishing's Practical Computing, then joining Ziff Davis in 1991 to help launch PC Magazine UK as Production Editor. After a couple of years I switched to commissioning, editing and writing, becoming a Technical Editor and then First Looks Editor.\r\n\r\nWhen ZDNet came looking for a Reviews Editor in 2000, I was ready to make the move from print to online — just in time for the dot-com crash!

They end up with this phone that, rather than encouraging them to be digitally connected, isolates them and makes them feel foolish because they have to ask for support all the time.\" \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdding to the problem is the rapid evolution of mobile tech, which means that the younger generation quickly forget how things work on older devices, making it hard for them to support older users effectively.

There are some downsides, however. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"23e98a3b-d7ea-4f5f-9f39-066bb303b494\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe iPhone's lock screen is getting a major overhaul in iOS 16.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Apple\" data-image-alt-text=\"apple-wwdc2022-09.png\" data-image-filename=\"apple-wwdc2022-09.png\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F06\u002F06\" data-image-width=\"3166\" data-image-height=\"1782\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Why you should wait to install iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the reasons Apple's beta program typically runs from June to September is because the software isn't finished. And when software isn't finished, bugs and issues crop up as more people install the update. Some of those issues and bugs can, and often do, make it very difficult to use your iPhone or iPad for basic tasks. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor instance, during previous beta programs I've had my iPhone become completely unresponsive when trying to answer a phone call. Eventually I had to restore my phone in order to get it working again -- losing precious data and several hours of my time. When testing iOS 16, I've had issues with not getting alerts from the Messages app, causing me to miss messages for hours at a time. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEven though show-stopping bugs like the one I just mentioned aren't all that common, you're sure to experience compatibility issues with the apps you use on a daily basis. Because those apps haven't been updated to work with the latest software (and likely won't be until it's released this fall), some apps just won't work. I've had issues with banking apps in the past, or even the Twitter app at one point. Admittedly, a forced break from Twitter isn't the worst thing that can happen, but it can be really frustrating when an app you use and rely on daily breaks because you've installed a beta. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf the potential of bricking your Apple device or tons of bugs in your favorite apps isn't enough to dissuade you from installing Apple's latest beta software, perhaps battery life will. That is to say, battery life during the beta program is absolutely horrible. If you're accustomed to getting through a full day of use with your iPhone on iOS 15, expect that to be cut in half. On a good day. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EComplicating matters is the fact that just because an app, feature, or battery life is fine on a specific beta doesn't mean that a future update will break something you need. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy sage advice? Wait until later in the beta cycle, towards the end of July or mid-August before jumping aboard the beta train. This allows Apple to gather and implement feedback from only the most diehard users who are willing to spend the time troubleshooting and submitting feedback. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's important to note that you can't go back to iOS 15 and keep all of the information on your device intact. Unless, of course, you created a backup of your iPhone or iPad on your computer before updating to iOS 16. If you forgot to create a local backup on your Mac and thought you could just use iCloud to restore your phone, I have bad news. You can't restore an iOS 16 created iCloud backup to an iOS 15 device. In other words, you'll have to factory reset your device and start all over to go back to an official iOS\u002FiPadOS release. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf all of that means very little to you and you just want to know where and how to install iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, well, wait no more, fam. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"827cf074-6003-478f-9837-a69c8ffc447b\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EiOS 16 includes the ability to edit messages in iMessage.

The problem here is that iPadOS -- for the moment, at least -- provides quite limited support for external displays. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe biggest limitation is that you can only use an external display to 'mirror' (duplicate) the iPad's own screen. You can't use the external display to extend the iPad display, as you can with a Mac or PC. The iPad Pro has a screen resolution of 2732 by 2048 pixels (roughly 2.5K), which means that the image on my 4K display has 1.5K worth of big black bars sitting on either side of the iPad's home screen. The same problem also affected an older QHD (2560x1440) display in the office, as the iPad's 4:3 aspect ratio doesn't fit well onto conventional 16:9 or 21:9 displays. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnnoyingly, the iPad can output video to an external display at full size, which is great for watching films, but non-video productivity apps that you might want to use for work remain fixed at the native resolution of the iPad's own display. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat's the state-of-play with the current iPadOS 15. But, as keen Apple watchers will have noticed, the recent WWDC unveiling of \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apple.com\u002Fipados\u002Fipados-16-preview\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EiPadOS 16\u003C\u002Fa\u003E -- due to be available as a public beta during the summer, with a final release towards the end of this year -- promised improved support for external displays. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDetails are a bit thin on the ground right now, but Apple's website indicates that the Stage Manager feature that's part of both iPad OS 16 and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.apple.com\u002Fmacos\u002Fmacos-ventura-preview\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EMacOS Ventura\u003C\u002Fa\u003E will provide \"full external display support\", including displays up to 6K resolution.

If you're noticing slowdowns or other issues, clearing the cache can be part of troubleshooting.

One of the first things you should do when dealing with bugs or issues in an app is clear the cache. Often, cached files become corrupted or outdated, and clearing them forces the app to rebuild the cache, which can solve the problem. So, clearing the cache can help fix issues, not just free up storage.

The Boox Note excels at generating text: it's crisp and high-contrast, even with the fast refresh setting on. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut it has a harder time with pages featuring heavy graphics, especially full-page images from magazines, so much so that you can clearly read the previous pages' ink remaining on the display. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENo matter what setting you're in, there are light artifacts, but switching to the faster display settings greatly mitigates ghosting (just keep in mind that it will require more battery).

Speaking of the battery on the Note Max, it is good, but it isn't one that you can simply forget about. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"e0626951-3277-4404-ace2-62c497e22ffc\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Kyle Kucharski\u002FZDNET\" data-image-alt-text=\"Boox Note Max\" data-image-filename=\"boox-note-max-2.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2025\u002F01\u002F30\" data-image-width=\"4032\" data-image-height=\"2268\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBoox states that the device has around 32 hours of battery life if used solely as an e-reader, but only around seven hours if used for more demanding tasks like writing. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI found this to be about accurate.
