![]() Just like the 2018 Kindle Paperwhite the new Kindle Paperwhite (2021) has a waterproof resistance rating of IPX8. ![]() Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021) review: Durability This is highly subjective and personal, though, so your mileage will likely vary. This is why I prefer the asymmetrical Amazon Kindle Oasis' design, which has a spot to grip on the side, with page turning buttons. That said, my mom (the biggest Kindle user I know) didn't find the change to be difficult to get around, as she keeps her Kindle Paperwhite in a case, which gives her more to hold onto. ![]() ![]() Gripping it from the now-slimmer side bezel, I found myself accidentally actuating the touch screen controls too often, and unintentionally highlighting text. When I used it, I found myself always having to hold it from the bottom. I almost wonder if the bezels on the Kindle Paperwhite 2021 are too small. It's not much heavier, though, going from 6.4 ounces in the previous model to 7.2 ounces in the new edition. While the bezel-shrinking helps enable a larger screen, the Kindle Paperwhite 2021 (6.9 x 4.9 x 0.3 inches) is also slightly larger than the 6.6 x 4.6 x 0.3-inch 2018 Paperwhite. Its bezels are smaller, and its screen is larger, going from a 6-inch panel to a 6.8-inch panel. But this year we've got some key differences. The Kindle Paperwhite 2021 looks just like most other Kindles, a matte-black shell encasing an e-ink display. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021) review: Design Really miss cellular connectivity? You can find it in the Kindle Oasis, which starts at $249 (opens in new tab). Check out our Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition review for more details. For an extra $50, you can upgrade to the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (opens in new tab), which bumps your storage to 32GB, adds automatically-adjusting backlighting and wireless charging. What has changed, though, is that Amazon's no longer offering a model with a cellular modem, the other feature it once offered for an upgrade price. Thankfully, Amazon is no longer calling these ads "special offers." I'd take this upgrade 10 times out of 10, but I just hate ads (I even pay for YouTube Premium). The default Paperwhite comes with 8GB of storage (same as the 2018 model), and Amazon is still charging $20 to upgrade to an ad-free experience (which bumps you up to $159.

![]() Like Minecraft, there's definitely some inspiration from Lego here (Roblox actually predates Minecraft!). Rather, it's a platform that lets players create their own 3D games, which has made it popular with millions. Roblox - Roblox is hard to describe, because it isn't exactly a single game. Best of all, it has Steam Workshop support, meaning there are thousands of mods and items you can add to the game with a single click. As in Minecraft, there are public worlds you can join, or you can play solo or with a select group of friends. ![]() Here are some genuinely good free Minecraft-style games you should spend your time on, instead.Ĭreativerse - A free to play voxel sandbox game that lets you build massive custom worlds-yup, this is definitely a Minecraft clone! But Creativerse is far better and more expansive than any of the browser-based knock-offs you'll find out there. Many of these also insert ads before you can play. What's out there? Searching for "Free Minecraft games" will return a lot of junk-browser games that shamelessly steal Minecraft's voxel look, but don't truly offer any of its depth. Okay, so you're dead set on getting something like the Minecraft experience without spending a dime. ![]() (Image credit: Playful Corp.) Free games like Minecraft ![]()

![]() The previous PS VR’s model number is CUH-ZVR1, and the new PS VR’s model number is CUH-ZVR2. To differentiate, look for the model number printed on the box. The packaging for PlayStation VR will change slightly when the new model hits stores. How can I distinguish between the old PS VR headset and the new one when I’m purchasing? The pricing of the PS VR bundles will remain the same. We will share details on the launch timing in North America at a later date. When will the new PS VR model become available in North America? How much will it be? This function can be used only when the VR headset is turned off. There’s also an updated Processor Unit that supports HDR pass through, enabling users to enjoy HDR-compatible PS4 content on a TV without having to disconnect the Processor Unit in between the TV and the PS4 system.
