I tried the TCL NXTPAPER 11 Plus and this budget tablet is easily my iPad killer — here’s why
It’s not every day I’m walking through a mall and end up stopping in my tracks to play with a tablet, but that’s exactly what happened last summer in Taiwan.

Loch’s Capsule dishwasher is small, fast, and efficient without plumbing
A dishwasher is a luxury item some people can’t live without.
