Best USB-C Power Delivery Chargers 2021 – For laptops and Phones

Ebac 3850e Dehumidifier Review – A impressive compressor dehumidifier with low running costs thanks to smart functions to automatically control humidity levels

Strava support might soon come to Huawei Watch GT2 devices & finally be a good Garmin alternative

While I generally love the Huawei watches, they have a major flaw. For watches that are so focussed on health and fitness (the app is even called Huawei Health) there is a serious issue with the lack of integration with major fitness apps. Specifically, Strava. When I moan about it to other tech bloggers, I…

The smart video doorbell market has been getting increasingly competitive in the past year.

D-Link DUB-E250 USB-C to 2.5G Ethernet Adapter Review – An affordable & reliable 2.5GbE USB adaptor

With 5G and Wi-Fi 6/6E offering over gigabit transfer speeds, the ageing gigabit wired networks need modernizing. 10 gigabit Ethernet has been around for years, but its adoption within the consumer market has been glacially slow.

Lypertek Soundfree S20 Review – Superb TWS earbuds for under £70 but the TEVI are not much more

Lypertek made waves last year with their TEVI earphones, which have been bizarrely renamed to PurePlay Z3 on many sites, excluding the Lypertek website. They are now back with a new, more affordable option, the Soundfree S20. These are based on the TEVI, but tweak a few features to get the price down low. At…

Huawei Mate X2 Announced – What should be a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 killer is still hobbled by a lack of Google and unknown global availability

Huawei and Samsung announced their first flagship foldables around the same time. Both companies adopted a different approach, with Samsung using an inward-facing display and Huawei an outwards.

Buyers Guide – Affordable Desktop Amps for Passive Speakers – Ditch the active speakers for superior sound and upgradability

Like most people, I have always used active speakers with my computer; they are generally affordable and simple to use. Plug them in, and away you go.
