The DuRoBo Krono is a compact Android 15-based E-Ink reader offering access to Kindle, Kobo Books and Google Play Books alongside note-taking and productivity apps. Its aluminium Smart Dial, octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, wireless connectivity, speakers and microphones distinguish it from basic e-readers. The main drawback is a potentially daunting interface and setup process for users seeking a simple reading device. It is recommended for readers who want broad functionality and receives a score of 8/10 at a listed price of £249.

The SwitchBot Battery Circulator Fan is a cordless smart fan designed to improve airflow around the home or in vehicles.

It can help distribute cooled or heated air more evenly, although advanced smart features require an additional SwitchBot Hub. The fan is recommended for users seeking a quiet, portable smart-home appliance and receives a score of 9/10.
