Amazon Fire 7 Kids Amazon has debuted yet another upgraded edition of the best-selling Fire tablet, the 7 and Fire 7 Kids. Doubling the RAM to 2GB, bumping up processor power and increasing battery life a full 40 per cent over its predecessor in a slightly smaller package, apps launch quicker and run smoother, and the de‑ vice may be operated up to 10 hours before needing a top-up. A switchover to USB Type-C input means you can juice up with most Android smartphone chargers rather than lugging around an extra micro USB cord. The Kids variant is guaranteed to keep the little ones occupied bundling a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ family-friendly content, and a bright blue or purple drop-proof protective case integrating a nifty swivelling stand doubling as a carrying handle. Though the front/rear cameras (2MP/720p respectively) ha‑ ven’t changed, the setup remains great for snapping quick photos and making video calls to loved ones. And should the Fire meet an untimely demise inside of two years, send the broken product back for a compli‑ mentary warranty replacement. Singtrix From the creators of Guitar Hero comes Singrix, a portable all-in-one karaoke machine designed to turn anyone into a rock star. The plug-and-play sys‑ tem centres around the Studio Effects Console utiliz‑ ing live vocal technology, such as natural pitch-cor‑ rection, HardTune (similar to Auto-Tune) and literally hundreds more, to improve the sound of beginners and seasoned pros alike. Users can connect a phone, tablet or computer and sing along to free YouTube and Spotify tracks, or a guitar and/or keyboard and jam to their own music. The Party Bundle Stadium Edition includes a multi-function 40-watt speaker/subwoofer, custom mic and mic stand, and the aforementioned Studio Effects Console boasting fun interchangeable face‑ plate inserts. Grab the recently-released 150-foot- range wireless microphone, which also features a “Hit” effects button just as the wired version does, to add a second or third singer to the mix.
