Touchscreen Gloves, iPad Styluses, Wi-Fi Routers, Deals, Updates and More

This (and Next) Week on The Wirecutter: Touchscreen Gloves, iPad Styluses, Wi-Fi Routers, Deals, Updates and More

Next Week: Touchscreen Gloves We’ve tested dozens of gloves during the past three winters—moving a half-ton of stumps, ice climbing, and walking and biking around town to find the best touchscreen gloves. The Glider Gloves Winter provide the best balance of warmth and great handling of touchscreens. They are made from a double-layered knit, so your hands will stay warm in below-freezing temperatures, but they fit snugly enough to allow for accurate screen taps. —Andrew The Best iPad Stylus With the help of a graphic designer, we tested 11 iPad styluses to find the best for notes and sketching. The Adonit Jot Pro has a clear plastic disc tip so you can see what you’re drawing or writing (a feature the competition universally lacks). It’s also comfortable to hold and it most closely mimicked the feeling of pen on paper during our tests. Inner Vision for the weekend of February 27, 2015 In this weekend’s edition of Inner Vision, learn how to upgrade the SSD in your MacBook Air, the way to graft your own fruit cocktail tree, and why coffee and success don’t mesh. The Best Wi-Fi Router (for Most People) After more than 200 total hours researching and testing 21 Wi-Fi routers and taking into account reader comments and feedback, the $100 TP-Link Archer C7 (v2) is the router we recommend for most people right now. Over the last 10 months, we’ve tested this dual-band, three-stream wireless-ac router against many different routers across many testing types and locations. Across most of our tests, we found that the Archer C7 was the top-performing router, often by huge margins. The Best Deals We Can Find Because we think we can make a small difference by being picky, here are some great deals on solid pieces of gear. Updates * If you are planning on buying a GPS unit for your car, help us by filling out this survey. * We updated our iPad Air 2 case guide witheight new cases we put to the test. [The Best iPad Air 2 Case] * The Epson R3000 is being replaced and we expect stock to dwindle by summer. We do have a new runner-up for when the R3000 is hard to find: the Epson SureColor P600. It equals our pick in performance, price, and features, but adds a color touchscreen and ink that provides slightly darker blacks. [Best Photo Inkjet Printer] * We updated our smartwatches guide with the new Pebble Time, the successor to the Pebble Steel, along with news of a redesigned operating system coming to all Pebble watches. [Best Smartwatch (For Now)] * Panasonic announced two new lenses that we'll be considering for inclusion in our guide to The First Micro Four Thirds Lenses You Should Buy. * In light of a possible quality control issue with our favorite all-in-one printer, we have an alternate recommendation for those who don't want to spend more than $200, the HP Officejet Pro 8620. [Best All-in-One Printer] * We’ve added the Kia Sedona EX as an additional option to our minivan guide for people who don’t have kids and want a well-designed, attractive minivan.
