Smartphones can be great for taking notes on the fly, but are not quite as satisfying as pen and paper. The reMarkable 2 is claimed to offer users a distraction-free, paper-like writing experience, and we've spent the last week or so trying one out.

Weirdly-named Hong Kong wireless earbud manufacturer Soundpeats has released what it calls its best-sounding hybrid wireless earphones yet, and since we were so impressed with the last set we tried, we thought we'd check out the latest and greatest.

Nireeka's second carbon-framed ebike is an absolute sci-fi stunner to look at. It's also seriously powerful, rocking Bafang's biggest, baddest mid-drive motor and giant 4-inch fat tires for confident off-roading. We've been riding it for a few weeks.

Buick introduced a new GX variant for the little Encore crossover for the 2020 model year. The Encore GX adds features that make it much more appealing than the standard Encore, especially on the looks, drive quality, and technology fronts.

Although there are now a slew of manufacturers offering folding ebikes, UK-based GoCycle was one of the first to popularize them. The company's GX model is an excellent urban commuter, as I recently discovered when I tried one out for a week.

The CR-V was introduced in its fifth-generation in 2017 without a hybrid model on offer. That's now changed with the release of the 2020 CR-V Hybrid, and after spending a week with it can tell you whether it was worth the wait.

For the 2020 model year, Toyota totally revamped the Highlander three-row crossover. Significantly, for the hybrid option, the vehicle sheds some cylinders and gains some MPGs as a result.

The small, subcompact crossover segment is seeing a lot of action. The Hyundai Venue is the latest entrant into this category, bringing with it the upscale feel that Hyundai is known for. It’s marketed as a crossover, but is really a hatchback.

Two weeks ago, I was ready to write a pretty negative review of Nura's personalized-audio earphones, but this week's software update has answered all my gripes. The Nuraloop is now a worthy successor to the astonishing Nuraphones.

Mazda introduced the all-new CX-30 as a new compact-small vehicle that fits between its CX-3 and CX-5. This isn’t our first time seeing the 2020 CX-30, but now we’ve spent a week with it as a daily driver, and can talk about its ups and downs.

What do you want in a phone? For some it's a big, vivid screen, for others it's a top-tier camera, or it might be lengthy battery life. However, if what you prioritize most is go-anywhere, do-anything toughness, then the Doogee S88 Pro has to appeal.

The problem with supercars, is there’s always a crowd. Our only alone time as a couple was in my tiny garage. Once that door opened and the McLaren 570S was revealed, it was only a matter of minutes before people started showing up. It gets brutal.
