  "account": "Engadget published 13 new reviews in the past two weeks, with more reviews on the horizon. Apple released three new Macs and an updated iPad mini in late 2026. The MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, featuring a touchscreen, is the main attraction but is also very expensive. Senior reporter Devindra Hardawar found that the feature doesn't significantly enhance the overall experience. Devindra also tested the new MacBook Pro M6 and it scored the highest among the tested devices. The only new addition is the upgraded Apple silicon and a higher price tag. A new iMac was also introduced but the price increase made the enhanced performance difficult to justify. The iPad mini with A20 Pro chip was tested by associate editor Steve Dent, who noted the high price and lack of a larger refresh display, as well as the absence of Face ID. In the Googlebook era, two models were reviewed - the Lenovo Googlebook 15 and the Dell XPS Googlebook, both around $1,000. The consensus is that despite the great hardware, the Googlebook OS is not fully polished yet. Amazon released new Kindle devices, including the Signature Editions of the Colorsoft and Paperwhite models. While the Paperwhite devices continued to impress, senior editor Cherlynn Low felt that the pricier Colorsoft Signature Edition didn't add enough to justify the extra cost. Wearables continued to arrive, with the Fitbit Edge receiving praise for its elegant design and balance of looks and features. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 had attractive features but it took Samsung delivering them to make the most of the device, according to UK bureau chief Mat Smith.",
