E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Chair Review
When selecting furniture, I freeze, considering the sheer number of options available. This has become readily apparent in anything gaming-related. Everyday, new peripherals spawn to make gaming a better place for those who spend countless hours at the helm, and when it comes to gaming chairs, that number feels endless with the number of products currently being sold.
This is where E-WIN brings out their flagship throne, the E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair. The E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series comes with everything a gamer could need to slog through the hardest of raids, lay back for a nap, and anything in between.
First things first, unboxing the E-WIN Champion was an easy experience, and E-WIN has neat packaging that assures each piece will come protected. Most of the parts have already been fully assembled, and E-WIN includes all the pieces and a large set of instructions (including a video) on their website for holding your hand through the assembly process. Normally, when building furniture, I need this to guide me through the process. Luckily, E-WIN is there every step of the way, proving that they, too, can use the Geico commercial made famous by cavemen with their expert instructions. It's that easy.
The E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair can be easily assembled with one person, making it a cinch to unbox and play easily. The assembly went as smoothly as possible. None of the screws, tools, or DIY steps had any hiccups during assembly (like lousily threaded bolts that go in diagonally), and once the E-WIN Champion is whole, the user can take the throne.
While my initial impression of the E-WIN Champion was in a box, when it is all together, it's clear that E-WIN brought style and comfort to the gaming chair equation. There are inseam diamonds with inlaid red stitching, adding minute details to the upholstery on the chair. My unit was the red and black version, but potential consumers can snag the black with gold lettering version, or the same chair but in what I would call the Player 2 (blue) colourway. E-WIN deserves credit for providing a wider-than-normal seat base so a smaller user can comfortably sit cross-legged without bruising their knees on the armrest.
Unlike my previous gaming chair, the E-WIN Champion is a firmer option than plush, and I dig it. There's virtually no collapse inward of the seat cushion when mounting the chair, but it still morphs to the user's body. I had a friend who weighs roughly 350 lbs and is 6'5 to try out the Champion to see if it was true to its name, and it worked as intended. Another win for E-WIN.
There are two knobs on either side of the chair to adjust lumbar support. At first, I thought this was just another gimmick to show the E-WIN Champion 'just does something else,' but after using both sides, I get it. The left side knob adjusts lumbar support height, and the right knob adjusts how much curvature there is to force the sitter into good posture. This is another win.
I always find myself slumped down into a chair after moments of sitting due to the weight of gravity and life shoving my spine into a broken accordion orientation, and the E-WIN comes as a worried parent would demanding you to straighten up. Lumbar support with hidden adjusters is a game-changing feature.
The E-WIN Champion comes with two companion pillows, adding another layer of comfort to sitting. The headrest pillow has a magnet built-in, so it will always stick to the head position of the chair, and there's an included lumbar pillow that floats around the seat area intended to provide even more comfort. The head pillow is a huge addition and feels great when the lumbar support forces your head into the right spot, but the included lumbar pillow is best used as a lap comfort pillow when sitting cross-legged or using the built-in lumbar support.
E-WIN added one last thing to put the belt around the waist of their Champion and it's a reclining lever. While all gaming chairs come with lift levers tucked away underneath (the E-WIN Champion is no exception), E-WIN installed a reclining lever (placed on the right-handed side) that can almost lay the user flat just in case a particular raid death march puts you to sleep.
Adjusting and returning the recline is equally as simple, with just a tug on the lever to return it to the upright seated position and a pull-and-lean to set it back to a half-lay. Even while laying almost completely horizontal, the E-WIN Champion stubbornly kept its wheels glued to the ground without any lean. E-WIN thought of virtually everything a gaming/office chair could have and just threw it in.
There are a few notable shortcomings regarding the E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair. The material on the chair's surface is made with 'innovative materials' that are temperature and pressure-sensitive. This works well, allowing the user to remain dry during the sweatiest gaming affairs. However, the material is not entirely friendly to the skin. I never knew a gaming chair could exist that suggests 'must wear this much clothes to ride.' While wearing shorts (with a 6' inseam), the small area where skin-meets-chair can stick to the surface. Aside from the sticky feel, the levers placed underneath the chair for lifting the seat feel cheap.
My last issue (and this could be a problem reserved for me) with the E-WIN Champion is the included magnetized armrest covers. Often, I'll lift my elbow and knock one clean off the chair, slightly rubbing against the underlying plastic. While this is no Iron Throne from Westeros, I usually must be cognizant of where my arms are so I don't rub elbows with the Champion.
The E-WIN Champion Upgraded Series Gaming Office Chair is a great upgrade to a user's battle station. It does almost everything a user can require out of a chair and looks good. Features like reclining and lumbar support are innovative and easy to use, while the assembly process is genuinely so easy anyone can do it. The main issue I have with the E-WIN Champion is the seat material, which feels like a small under-sight in the grand scheme of things. All in all, if someone needs an upgrade for their gaming setup, the E-WIN Champion can be a safe upgrade, provided the user has the funds.

Audi E-Tron GT Is A Worthy Lamborghini Cousin
Audi RS e-tron Performance I've driven other vehicles from the Audi e-tron lineup in the past, and have been duly impressed with their instant torque, high-tech interiors, and precision tuning. But I'd never driven the RS e-tron GT before, and it took my breath away. Lithe, beautiful, and quick, the 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT Performance is a sleek machine. This all-electric four-door sounds and drives much differently than the Audi RS6 Avant, and while I kind of missed the RS6 Avant's throaty roar I fell hard for the quiet acceleration of the RS e-tron GT. Bottom line: while this all-electric car uses Porsche-sourced platform and powertrains, it transcends its origins. If Lamborghini were to decide to make a battery-powered sedan, I think it would feel a lot like the Audi RS e-tron GT. Audi RS e-tron Performance interior What's New For The Audi E-Tron GT For 2025? Audi updated the powertrain and added the RS Performance option, which boasts an blistering 912 horsepower. The RS still impresses at 845 hp, and the base S model is no slouch with 670 hp. The e-tron GT styling was freshened up for 2025, including elements like the grille and wheels. Of the nine exterior colors, two are new (I'm partial to the Progressive Red hue). Audi RS e-tron Performance Carbon, Carbon Everywhere Inside the RS e-tron GT Performance, the cabin can be festooned with carbon fiber from tip to tip. An $8,400 forged carbon package adds 21-inch 6-double-spoke wheels, a dark carbon roof panel, illuminated forged carbon door sill inlays, forged carbon exterior trim and mirror housings, and forged carbon interior inlays. Plus, that package comes with summer tires for optimal zip. Audi RS e-tron Performance Range, And Still Room For Cargo In This Audi E-Tron A family of four could happily enjoy this car on a lengthy road trip. When equipped with 20-inch wheels, the e-tron GT S model is good for 91 MPGe in the city and 88 MPGe on the highway. You'll have to give up 2 MPGe in the city and 3 MPGe on the highway if you opt for the 21-inch wheels. Range is more than adequate to please the majority of EV drivers; the S model can go up to 300 miles on a full charge and the RS Performance with the larger wheels loses just six miles for a total of 294. The 97.0-kWh lithium-ion battery can be recharged from 10 to 80 percent in less than 20 minutes on a fast charger. Under the power liftgate, the e-tron GT has 9 cubic feet of capacity. That's plenty for a few carry-on bags and backpacks, with room to spare for snacks. Need to store a little extra? There's another two cubic feet in the frunk, or front trunk. Audi RS e-tron Performance Audi E-Tron RS Cabin Tech Audi is known to build tech-forward cabins and infotainment systems, and this electric sedan is no exception. The 10.1-inch touchscreen is well integrated into the dash and physical controls on the steering wheel and the console make it easy to navigate. Also, I'd recommend the panoramic fixed glass roof with digital light control for the most aesthetic appeal, and extra headroom that a physical shade would inhibit. The Audi e-tron lineup continues to set the pace for the future, and the RS e-tron GT Performance is guaranteed to thrill.

Nissan to launch new e-Power hybrid system
Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Corporation announced it will launch its latest-generation e-Power hybrid powertrain in Europe this year, which it says delivers enhanced efficiency, lower emissions, and a quieter drive compared with the previous generation. Nissan pointed out that the third-generation, 5-in-1 modular e-Power system has been comprehensively re-engineered to help 'smooth its transition from fuel towards zero emissions.' It integrates the electric motor, generator, inverter, reducer and increaser, into a compact and lighter package. The new powertrain features an all-new, dedicated 3-cylinder 1.5-litre turbocharged engine used only to generate electricity, which is distributed directly to the electric motor and also to charge the battery when required. Nissan pointed out that the e-Power does not have a 'complicated gearbox and coupling to combine petrol power and electric energy to drive the wheels, meaning that response is instant and the drive is always smooth, just like an EV.' It also uses a regenerative braking system to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is fed back into the battery. The new e-Power system will be installed for the first time in Europe in the new Qashqai, scheduled to be launched in September, providing a fuel consumption of 4.5 litres per 100 km (WLTP), a range of up to 1200 km, CO2 emissions reduced to 102g/km from 116g/km in the previous system, while cabin noise has been reduced to 5.6 decibels. It will have a 'real-world' range is over 1000 km on a full tank. The new e-Power system will also be available in the North American Rogue SUV in the 2026 model year and in the fourth-generation Elgrand large minivan, which is scheduled to be launched in Japan in the 2026 fiscal year. Nissan's Chief Technology Officer, Eiichi Akashi, said in a statement: 'This new, third generation e-Power system redefines Nissan's hybrid technology, providing smooth and responsive driving in all conditions. We've embedded close to a decade of learnings to ensure the system is more efficient, more refined, and more competitive. The launch with Qashqai is just the beginning. We look forward to delivering this advanced powertrain to customers in North America and Japan in FY26, with other markets to follow.'

Lola Consuelos reveals the origin story of her relationship with Cassius Kidston
Kelly Ripa is welcoming her daughter's boyfriend with open arms. The 54-year-old talk show host was joined by her daughter, Lola Consuelos, whom she shares with husband Mark Consuelos, on the June 25 episode of her 'Let's Talk Off Camera' podcast. And Ripa shared her honest opinion about her daughter's relationship with Cassius Kidston. 'I love him,' Ripa said of Kidston. 'I love his family, we are very close.' Ripa then joked that she and Kidston's mother have 'a lot of conversations' about the young couple, to which her daughter replied: 'We have a lot of conversations about you two.' The mother-daughter exchange comes two months after Lola Consuelos and Kidston celebrated an anniversary. 'Another year of pure magic,' Lola Consuelos wrote in the caption of a photo dump of her and her boyfriend. 'You're heavenly.' Ripa shared her stamp of approval with two red heart emojis in the comment section, while Mark Consuelos commented, 'Congratulations,' with a string of party emojis. On her mother's podcast, Lola Consuelos opened up about the origin of her relationship with Kidston. 'We met on vacation,' Lola Consuelos said before admitting, 'But we did not like each other when we first met each other.' 'I say this to everyone that I meet,' she added, per E! News. 'I think the reason we don't find ourselves truly arguing that much is because we kind of got it all out of our systems when we first met each other.' Lola Consuelos went on to reveal that the pair grew up going on vacation to the same island with their families, but never met each other because they would vacation there at different times of the year. She further clarified that Kidston was from Switzerland, not the United States. It wasn't until the two were attending New York University that they were introduced through mutual friends. As they got to know each other, they learned about their shared past. 'It's so crazy because we have a lot of the same memories growing up at this place,' Lola Consuelos said on her mom's podcast, per People. 'We get very close to the locals, and they've known us both growing up individually and have watched us go from little kids to adults,' she continues. 'But probably would've never expected that Lola from New York, the little chunky cheek girl in her bikini, tanned and all would be dating this boy from Switzerland, pale and tall,' she added of the locals. The couple's shared past is a big reason why Lola Consuelos believes in the 'invisible string theory.' The theory proposes that everyone is connected to those they are meant to be with through an invisible, metaphorical string. It's a concept rooted in the belief of fate, destiny and pre-determination. 'We had just so many weird, intertwined things and people and all this stuff,' Lola said. 'Now we're almost dating for four years, which is insane.' The 'Divine Timing' singer was then asked how big that invisible string is — and whether or not she sees a diamond ring at the end of it. In response, Lola Consuelos alluded to the idea of being present vs. thinking about the future. 'Sometimes when you think about the future so much, it's because you feel that present moment with someone slipping away,' she explained. 'I think with my boyfriend and I we're so present with each other so of course, and we always say we would never date to break up,' she said before admitting, 'I 1,000 percent see future.' But if there is a diamond ring at the end of the invisible string, Kelly Ripa doesn't want her daughter to do what she did. During an April interview with People starring the mother-daughter duo, Ripa was opening up about eloping with her husband nearly three decades ago when the two got married in Las Vegas. When Lola Consuelos joked about doing the same, Ripa said she and her husband 'would literally die.' 'We would track her down and un-elope her!' Ripa joked, to which her daughter confirmed as accurate. In addition to Lola Consuelos, 24, Ripa and Mark Consuelos share two sons — Michael, 28, and Joaquin, 22.
