Useful technology that earns its place in your day, with the details that matter before you buy.
£139.99 buys fifteen programmable keys, a desktop stand and a USB-C cable. The purchase turns on whether your day already repeats the same eight actions in apps you keep open.
At £99.99 with a UK layout, the MX Keys S is a keyboard you pay for in backlight sensors and three-device switching, not in typing feel.
Bose's second generation adds lossless USB-C audio and Cinema Mode, lists at £349.95 in Black, £0.95 above Sony's WH-1000XM6, and prints no decibel figure for its cancelling.
Sony's £349 flagship over-ear carries a 12-microphone adaptive canceller and LE Audio; against the £89.99 soundcore Space One it buys a bigger microphone array and LE Audio readiness, not battery life.
At £239.99 the Libra Colour keeps 300 ppi text and halves it for colour; against Kobo's £169.99 Clara Colour it adds page buttons, 32 GB and stylus support. Comics and library loans repay it, plain novels do not.
The iPad (A16) is £429 at Apple UK and covers streaming, notes and shared use; the Air adds P3 colour, Pencil Pro and Apple Intelligence for £320 more, and a keyboard and Pencil widen that gap to £340.
