A new report from legal software firm Clio finds nearly 90% of legal professionals in the UK and Ireland now use AI tools, with almost 80% of adopting firms saying they can take on more work without hiring, and over 70% citing cost savings from automating administrative tasks. The report also finds about one in five heavy AI-adopting firms struggling to hit billable-hour targets, while global legal leaders expect hourly billing's share of work to drop from 72% to 44% within two to three years. Firms including A&O Shearman and Slaughter and May are already deploying AI agents from Harvey for tasks like loan-agreement review and regulatory research.

Razer introduced the Clio X at PAX West 2026, a cheaper version of its head-cushion speaker for gaming chairs, priced at $110 versus the original Clio's $230. It swaps the flagship's 43mm aluminum drivers for two 38mm speakers and two 55mm passive radiators, still supporting THX Spatial Audio and Razer's low-latency HyperSpeed 2.4GHz wireless connection. It attaches to any gaming chair headrest via a nylon strap and runs on USB-C power, ideally a 15W PD source.
