I think that, as a reader in general and a manga lover in particular, I have found the gift that I will put this year in the letter to the Three Wise Men. Each and every one of the gadgets that I have tried to read digitally They have given me some problems: either they are small, or their screens tire my eyes, or they distract me with notifications or they do not easily accept the most common formats. He Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi It’s quite the opposite. It is what, as a reader, I would definitely want to have on my nightstand and in my backpack. The only thing I’m missing is the 450 euros that, unfortunately for my pocket, it costs. ✅ Buy it if… You read a lot in digital. You want a comfortable, large e-book reader with a good battery. You don’t like the idea of ​​having to buy all the books on Amazon Kindle. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You tend to read unusually or sporadically. You don’t want to spend a lot of money. You want a color screen. The essentials in 30 seconds The Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi is a book reader with a 10.3-inch black and white e-ink display. Everything is normal, except for the operating system, which is Android 15. What does that mean? That you have access to Google Play and, therefore, to the entire ecosystem of reading apps (and non-readable) available for Android. It doesn’t tie you to a platform (like Kindles), but rather gives you total freedom. It works sensationally, it supports all home formats (PDF, EPUB, CBR, MOBI, doc, docx…), it has a backlight (it’s the difference between the Lumi model and the standard one) and the pen is very useful. Your main problem? That it does not have a color screen, that it has little capacity and that the price to pay for it is quite high. Now, if you do not intend to read color documents and are looking for a good black and white reading device for books and manga, this is, without a doubt, one of the options to consider.

If we talk about reading for a long time, electronic ink screens have no rival: they tire the eyes much lessthey have less reflections and do not suffer when placed in broad daylight. This device features a 10.3-inch eInk panel with 300 pixels per inch resolution and, simply put, it looks great. Not only is the text crisp, but the manga drawings and fine panel details look spectacular. I have not had the slightest problem when reading books, manga, websites and even working with PDFs. A note about qualities: the device offers us several screen configurations, so we can choose if we want a faster refresh at the cost of losing sharpness, or more sharpness at the expense of losing transition speed. Here to taste. I have used it most of the time with the second configuration. Big, but comfortable. It is a large device, but very thin and weighs 300 grams. This means that we can carry it in our backpack without it getting in the way (it came with me to Poland, in fact) or that we can use it in bed without our arms getting tired. In fact, it’s funny that the pencil, which we’ll talk about shortly, is thicker than the reader itself. The weight seems more than it is, in practice it doesn’t feel like it weighs a third of a kilo. Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi | Image: Xataka Moves in fear. Although its specifications may seem modest, the truth is that Android 15 works well with the four gigabytes of RAM and the Snapdragon 750G processor that it has. The 64 GB of storage, however, seems somewhat scarce to me and, furthermore, they are not expandable. By default, there is certain ghosting when we turn the page, but it is neither very exaggerated nor is it something that cannot be fixed by adjusting the refresh rate. I have it configured so that the screen refreshes completely when turning five pages, but if having the shadow of the page is a nuisance it can be adjusted so that it refreshes when turning one. This, needless to say, will slow down loading. Android is always a good idea. The interface is well adapted and has everything necessary to work, namely a reading app compatible with all formats, a browser, an AI assistant whose presence is testimonial, and Google Play. The advantage, of course, is the compatibility with Android apps, so you can install Google Play Books, Kindle, Moon Reader, Notion or Manga Plus to stay up to date with One Piece. It supports all popular formats, so you can use any EPUB, MOBI or PDFs you buy on any platform. About the pencil: the device includes a stylus to take notes, write, make annotations on files, etc. It works quite well and responds to pressure, but there is minimal latency that makes typing feel a bit clunky. It makes more sense to make specific annotations on a PDF or a drawing than to take quick notes in a class, for example. Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi | Image: Xataka Charger? The device arrived charged at 80% 16 days ago and today, after using it literally every day for at least an hour-hour and a half, I put it on charge with 28% battery remaining. This is the advantage of these devices: they barely consume anything. Loading is a little slow, but nothing to worry about considering that we will do it every so often.

A year ago I had the opportunity to try the Dreame A2a 2,800 euro robotic lawnmower that I loved, but it was too much for the 100 square meters of the garden at home. In a garden like this something smaller, more compact and, above all, cheaper would have been enough. Then Mova, Dreame’s sub-brand, arrived and put its ViAX 500a smaller, more humble lawnmower robot with a price tag of 749 euros. And that’s another movie. ✅ Buy it if… You have a small garden and you want to forget about periodic maintenance. You are looking for a silent robot. You value good obstacle detection. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You have a large garden, greater than 100-150 square meters. It is full of trees or decorative objects. You want to configure absolutely everything from the app. The essentials in 30 seconds The Mova ViAX 500 stands out for delivering what it promises: it is a robotic lawnmower designed for small gardens, with good navigation and programming capabilities. The cut is uniform and adjustable and the battery is enough to cover a garden of 100-120 square meters such as that of a chalet. Its biggest problem is around the edges and in smaller areas. The robot seems to be afraid of getting too close to the edge, especially when the surface is not quite ready, and small areas of grass tend to not go over them completely. In general, it is a good purchase if we are looking for a robot that we can program and forget about it until it is due for maintenance. Now, in a large house with extensive gardens, many nooks, trees and narrow areas, it is quite likely that it will suffer more.

Setting up these devices is just as easy as setting up a robot vacuum cleaner: You take it out, put it in the base, connect it to WiFi and map the area. You must do the latter by hand, controlling it as if it were a radio-controlled car. The base must be anchored to the ground with the included plastic screws and, obviously, you must connect it to the power. The cable, luckily, is very, very long, so you can pull it into the house if necessary. The little advice: If you can, put the foundation in the shade. The summer heat plays against these devices, even more so considering that the base does not have a hood. If your garden allows it, place the base in a place where the sun does not shine fully all day. Don’t worry about irrigators or rain, the robot has IPX6 resistance and can withstand them without problem. Cuts the grass pretty well. The robot has a rotating platform with three blades at the bottom. We can adjust this from the robot itself (not from the app) so that the cutting height is between two and six centimeters. My recommendation: three-four centimeters. It can also be configured to cut in a zig-zag pattern, which is recommended to improve uniformity, as well as programming. No complaints in this regard, except that the smallest areas are usually reviewed halfway. It’s as if the robot thinks it’s too big to work in that area. Be careful with edges and trees. Although the navigation via LiDAR and camera is exceptional, I have to give the slap on the wrist at the edges. Although it can be configured to “go in” a little further, the truth is that if the edge is not perfectly flush with the ground you will see that, over time, it will end up being longer than the rest of the garden. And it will be noticed. The same thing happens when approaching trees or decorations. Many times it seems that the robot is afraid to get a little closer, a fear that robot vacuum cleaners overcame a long time ago. MOVA ViAX 500 | Image: Xataka A fair and necessary autonomy. The robot has a battery with enough capacity to, in standard mode, cut 120 square meters in about an hour and a half. Enough for my garden. With efficient mode, the figure reaches 150 square meters. If the battery runs out, the robot returns to the base, charges itself (in about an hour) and picks up where it left off. Zero problems with this. Don’t forget the rest of the garden. Although the obstacle detection works really well, my recommendation is to spend a few minutes cleaning up the garden before starting the robot. If you have fruit trees and the fruit has fallen, pick it up or prepare for an exquisite wheel and blade cleaning session. I speak from experience. If you have left the hose loose, pick it up; And if you have pets, I, personally, would put them inside the house while the robot does its thing for a mental health issue.
