Black Friday has become the annual benchmark for technology deals, and UGREEN’s 2025 offerings span their core product lines with discounts ranging from 20% to 38% off retail prices. I’ve spent considerable time with UGREEN’s ecosystem, particularly their NAS units, and the pricing during this sale period makes some of their products genuinely worth considering…
I previously reviewed the Aqara Smart Radiator Thermostat E1 and thought it was an excellent, relatively affordable radiator valve for anyone invested in the Aqara ecosystem. Aqara has now launched the W600 thermostat, with the main selling point being that it supports both Zigbee for native Aqara integration and Matter over Thread, allowing you to…

Last year, I reviewed the Plaud Note, a ChatGPT-powered AI voice recorder & transcriber. Initially, I was sceptical about how useful this could be, given the £150 price point and the limited free transcribing, or the need to pay for a subscription. At the time, many phone brands were releasing their own AI live-transcription features…
I recently reviewed the excellent Ugreen NASync DH4300 Plus. As a long-time Unraid user, I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, due to the limited app availability, but I leaned into the functionality it does have, and have continued to use it since. This has now become my NAS, which I…
I have reviewed several digital photo frames over the past few years. I was initially sceptical of them as I always found cheaper options clearly looked like LCD displays and always felt they looked a bit cheap. But some brands like Aura produce some excellent options with matte displays, which do a half-decent job of…

The company positions the new device as a “two-generation upgrade,” setting a new benchmark for performance-focused flagship models.

Recently, SwitchBot launched several new Matter-enabled lighting products, including an RGBICWW floor lamp, strip light, and neon wire rope light, which are all fairly standard products in the world of smart lighting. The one product that stood out was the Candle Warmer Lamp. Yes, that’s a lamp that warms candles instead of lighting them, which then…
A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Ugreen NASync DH4300 Plus. I had relatively low expectations due to the Rockchip RK3576 chipset and Ugreen being relatively new to the world of NAS devices. However, I came away pleasantly surprised. It is not perfect, UGOS is limited in functionality compared to the likes of Synology or…
The eufyCam series has been my favourite option for wireless cameras ever since I first reviewed them with the eufyCam 2C. The main selling points have been that they do not require an ongoing subscription, unlike Arlo or Ring, and I have found that the battery life is superior to most competing brands, including Reolink…

Display Technology and Visual Performance…
I started a new job in IT support a bit over a year ago, and now I spend a lot of my day taking support calls from clients. In the past year, I have reviewed the budget EPOS Impact 100 and the mid-range EPOS Impact 400. I had previously been using an EPOS gaming headset…
