At the annual summit, Mediatek announced its new Kompanio chipsets for Chromebooks: the Kompanio 520 and Kompanio 528. The early press release I have received is a little thin on details, and I will update the content during the event. Kompanio 520 & 528 Specification It seems that the two chipsets are identical apart from…
During the annual summit, MediaTek announced the new 4nm T800 5G Thin Modem. This is designed for applications other than phones. While most phones that launch nowadays are 5G, many connected devices have not advanced as fast for connectivity. Even now, there are not many 5 G-equipped always-connected PCs. The new T800 5G modem should…
Yesterday, Philips Hue announced the new Festavia String Lights, which are a perfect addition to your Christmas and holiday decorations. I have previously reviewed the Twinkly Strings Christmas tree lights and was impressed with them. Twinkly is perhaps still the best option for people that want to set up complex Christmas and holiday lighting. This…
I apologise for capitalising on the fearmongering the media has been peddling in recent months about the possibilities of rolling blackouts across the country this winter. I am fortunate that whatever the scenario, the outcome won’t be that bad for me, but many people won’t be in the same position, and I, therefore, hope this…
I have recently reviewed the EcoFlow DELTA 2 and the EcoFlow RIVER 2 MAX. Both are amazing portable power stations EcoFlow were kind enough to also send me the top RIVER 2 Pro model. This is an interesting model as it is getting close to the DELTA 2 capacity while being in a more portable…
Jackery has finally brought the new Pro range of solar generators to the UK. The Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Pro is the flagship product and consists of the Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro + SolarSaga 200W solar panels. The model I have been sent is the Explorer 2000 Pro + two SolarSaga 200W solar panels, but…
Today, MediaTek announced the new flagship Dimensity 9200. The Dimensity 9200 is the first smartphone chip to integrate an ultra-core Arm Cortex X3 with operating speeds over 3GHz, and the first to feature the Arm Immortalis GPU with a hardware-based ray tracing engine. During my pre-brief, perhaps one of the most important takeaways was that…
Black Friday is fast approaching. Knowing where to get the best deal can always be a challenge when there are so many to choose from. Walkie talkies are used by many for business and personal use, because they are so reliable and a great source of fast, efficient communication. So what are the walkie talkies…
The Ultenic U10 Pro is an affordable cordless vacuum that I have found to be better than other cheap Chinese brands that you see on Amazon. It is not going to compete with a Dyson or Shark, but this is good for less demanding cleaning environments and smaller properties. Exclusive Discount Code Use MIGHTYGA for…
I have previously reviewed the TerraMaster F4-421 and F4-422 10GbE 4-Bay NAS enclosures and have been impressed with the well-specced but affordable nature of TerraMaster devices. While they were very good, they both used the ageing Intel Celeron J3455. They were also limited to DDR3 and lacked NVMe slots. The new TerraMaster F2-423 and its…
Netgear recent expanded its range of WiFi 6 Orbi routers with the Orbi 760 and 860 series. These are incremental upgrades from the Orbi 750 and 850 series that preceded them. While I never reviewed a normal Netgear Orbi 750 model, I did review the Netgear NBK752 with its built-in 5G modem. I have also…
With Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) officially launching Matter, there have been lots of press releases coming in with companies confirming products using this new open standard for smart home connectivity. Aqara were ahead of the game back in January when they announced some matter-based products, but they have now extended the list of products which…
