Amazon has had one of the more exciting launch events this year, temporarily distracting me from all the doom and gloom in the news. We have seen Rng shake up the home surveillance market with the launch of the Always Home Drone Cam, and now the Amazon Echo devices have had their biggest shakeup in…

Ring Always Home Cam – One up’s every home surveillance brand with a new automated indoor drone & is the new archenemy of your cat

Throwing a complete curveball in the world of home surveillance, Ring has launched the Always Home Cam. They seem to be coy about calling it a drone, but it is one. While it was inevitable drones would enter the consumer home surveillance market, I wasn’t expecting it so soon. Ring was at the forefront of…

Today Amazon has announced Blink Outdoor and Indoor – Blink’s all-new flagship wireless smart home security cameras that run on two AA lithium batteries for up to two years, making them easy to use and maintain.

Garmin Venu SQ vs Venu vs Forerunner 45 Compared – A new affordable square Venu, similar to the Fitbit Versa 3

Today, Garmin launched its latest watch, the Venu SQ. Unlike the Forerunner 745, this is a more affordable mainstream consumer-focussed watch. Functionality-wise it is just a cut-down Venu, so there is not that much to compare really. Garmin Venu SQ Overview A new square 1.3” 240 x 240 pixel LCD display Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen…

Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G vs Snapdragon 765G & 730G & 690 Compared – It’s a higher clocker SD690 with Cortex A77 cores and mmWave

I feel like there have been a lot more chipset launches than normal this year. If it is not Qualcomm it is MediaTek. Yesterday, Qualcomm took the wraps off their latest mid-range 5G contender, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G As the name suggests this sits between the SD765G and SD730G but with its adoption of the…

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 & AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Benchmarks – Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU?

I was one of the small number of people that managed to buy an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 when it was launched last Thursday. After receiving an email off CCL Computers that I probably won’t get it, I luckily didn’t cancel the order, and they ended up delivering the Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity on…

Netatmo Smart Video Doorbell vs Ring vs Arlo vs Eufy – Another smart doorbell enters the market, but you will need wires

I love a good smart doorbell. Deliveries and pickups used to cause me genuine stress, constantly missing things. Getting the Ring doorbell has genuinely helped reduce that stress, though the Ring doorbell chime has become a cause of stress itself with the frequency it goes off. Anyway, with Netatmo already having an excellent floodlight security…

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 with 20GB,  RTX 3060 with 8GB & RTX 3070S with 16GB could land this year – so don’t stress about your missed RTX 3080 pre-order

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 with 20GB, RTX 3060 with 8GB & RTX 3070S with 16GB could land this year – so don’t stress about your missed RTX 3080 pre-order

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 didn’t exactly go as smoothly as people would have liked, stock sold out almost instantaneously. It would seem like a short supply from Nvidia combined with a significantly greater demand than usual has caused this, potentially leaving people with weeks to wait. However, the RTX 3070 launches next month, as…

Bit late with this news, but OPPO have officially launched their ColorOS 11 based on Android 11. It includes all the befits on Android 11 with a range of tweaks introduced by OPPO themselves. Perhaps the most newsworthy part is what devices will actually get the upgrade. They have a rollout plan graphic but then…

Garmin HRM-Pro vs HRM-Tri vs HRM-Run vs HRM-Dual vs Wahoo Tickr X Compared – What’s changed and is the HRM-Pro the best heart rate monitor for Garmin

Yesterday, Garmin announced the new Forerunner 745, and also the new HRM-Pro chest strap. There are a lot of heart rate monitors on the market, and you would think they all do the same thing, so it doesn’t matter, but that is not quite the case. Compared to Garmin HRM-Tri & HRM-Run In short, the…
