Get them to [sign up here.]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( Amazon announces new 2022 Fire HD 8 - but what's new? AMAZON What's happened? The Amazon Fire HD 8 was last updated in 2020, bringing a new overall design. The [latest update from Amazon]( boosts the power - claiming a 30 per cent lift thanks to a processor upgrade. Why does it matter? The Fire HD 8 is a popular tablet, offering great affordability at a fraction of the price of an iPad. What's my take? The Fire HD 8 is a great tablet. Sure, it can't match the iPad for build quality or the range of offered functions, but it's popular nonetheless. Much of this comes down to affordability - this tablet is a fraction of the price of Apple's cheapest alternative. And, while it has fairly basic build, the Fire HD 8 withstands abuse, so it's great for kids. The display is good enough and there's wide support for the latest streaming services, so if all you want from your tablet is to watch movies and TV, then it's [well worth considering](. Logitech's G Cloud Gaming Handheld is 100% designed for the cloud LOGITECH What's happened? Leaked and rumoured for a while, the [Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld]( is finally here. Why does it matter? This is a handheld console that's specifically built for cloud gaming. It was crafted by Logitech, in partnership with Tencent, but the company has also worked with both Xbox and Nvidia on the device. What's my take? Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and now Logitech. Handheld gaming is having something of a renaissance, fuelled in no small part by the ascent of cloud gaming solutions. The new Logitech device will give you access to Xbox Cloud Gaming as well as Nvidia's GeForce Now - while it can also be used for local Steam streaming too. That's in addition to Android games from the Google Play Store, meaning you're spoilt for choice. It will launch on 17 October in the US, where [pre-orders are open](.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus share the same features, but they differ in their physical size and battery capacities. The same applies to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. With the Pro models offering a refreshed design and more powerful hardware than their standard siblings this year though, is the iPhone 14 Pro Max the biggest and best iPhone the company has ever made? Our quick verdict The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is not just big in form, it's big in character. There's a refreshed design that's really striking, especially in this larger format, coupled with performance enhancements, battery and camera improvements, the Always-On Display and the Dynamic Island feature. Sure, it's pretty heavy, it's very expensive, and it offers all the same features as its smaller sibling, but it's a stunning device for those who want the extra 0.6-inches of display or battery life.
