Folks with a passion for audio are generally hard to buy for. Not because there are no options but because there are too many. A target-rich environment is only a good thing if all targets are equal and audio kit… isn’t created equal. If you’re after a solid set of audio presents, you’ll find a stonking collection in Stuff’s current print issue. If there’s nothing that’ll tickle an audiophile fancy there (and there is, we made sure of that) you’ll find a handful of other options right here. No matter what you pick, as long as your target doesn’t already…

There’s always that one person who is really into fitness and is therefore impossible to buy gifts for at the end of the year. Well, not this year. If you’ve already been through the fitness freak section of Stuff’s annual print wish list and nothing’s jumping out at you, we’ve got a few other options. If you can’t find something excellent here… well, that’s probably a skill issue. Fitness is a skill, after all. So is choosing an excellent gift. We may not be excellent at the first of these but we’re pretty decent at the second one. All you…
Ever wonder what pure air smells like? So do we. So we just had to get the 204 Air Purifier from Solenco out of its box and huff some of its air. It features a five-stage filtration system to make sure that you’re only breathing in the good kind of particles with your air. Those five stages include a pre-filter, an activated carbon filter, an antiviral filter, a medical-grade H13 HEPA filter, and it uses UV-C light to destroy harmful microorganisms. Plus, like most useful devices these days, it can be paired with and controlled by an app. Learn more…

It took some doing, but it’s finally here. Amazon, the pioneers behind the e-reading revolution, released the Kindle Scribe, and not so long ago, announced a successor to the massive (and gorgeous) e-reader we cherish so dearly. That inevitably means the Scribe is due a much-needed price cut in the coming months, and we for one can’t wait. There’s no harm in jumping the gun, either. If you can stomach the R10,500 starting price, you won’t hear us stopping you. The Scribe’s excellent battery life, humongous 10.2in e-ink display and slim form factor make this the Kindle to get, and more…
Catch! SpaceX catches Starship booster on its fifth attempt It didn’t take long for Elon Musk’s SpaceX to get Starship working the way it was hoping to. After the FAA finally gave the company clearance to try and launch its building-sized rocket into space again, the fifth attempt at Starship went without a hitch. That means, of course, that Starship itself launched, travelled for a while, and then splashed down in the Indian Ocean. That was the point, after all, and the scientists are after data more than anything else. But something else also went horribly right. Starship’s Super Heavy…
Oh look, everyone’s top retro handheld. As long as they like green. And motion blur. It’s easy to scoff at the Game Boy’s dot-matrix display, with its four shades of murk and visible ghosting. And yes, next to the Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx, the lack of colour – and clarity – was stark. But while falling short in terms of visual clout, the Game Boy excelled where it mattered and quickly became a handheld for the masses. It didn’t munch through batteries; it was affordable and light; and most importantly, it had those stellar titles that you really…
Remember, remember, the first of November Surprise! Apple is coming out of the woodwork for yet another product launch, despite a busy iPhone-filled September. That’s not unusual, not by a long stretch. If you’re familiar with the Big Fruit’s strategy, a slew of new Mac-related products are coming our way soon; including two new MacBook Pros, a revamped Mac Mini, an M4-toting iMac, and iPad Mini. The event – expected to debut at the end of October according to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter – mimics that of Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ event in 2023, except that the M4 SoC is…
