Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
I have been a fan of EnGenius over the years and used their products for most of my networking needs at home before switching to Unifi, which I only did because that’s what the MSP I work for uses. My one criticism of their products was that the pricing was not very accessible for home…
I previously reviewed the Honor Magic V3 a year ago and the Magic V2 in January of 2024, and was incredibly impressed; they were far better than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 I reviewed back in 2023 due to the display design and overall phone dimensions, plus many other things, including battery life. Honor…
I reviewed the Aosu C9C-4H SolarCam D1 Classic Kit Review a little over a year ago and was impressed with the kit, with the standout features being the built-in solar panel for improved battery life, auto tracking, pan/tilt, and motion detection. Aosu has now upgraded this system, which now includes support for six cameras. So, are…
I have previously reviewed several 5G and 4G routers, including the Zyxel Nebula FWA510 5G, and I have then experimented with external antennas to try and improve performance, but mostly had either disappointing results or inconsistent results. More recently, I have had a nightmare with Virgin Media and their appalling customer service. There was a…
The Baseus S1 Outdoor Security Camera is a curious surveillance camera that features an integrated solar panel, a design element I have seen on the EufyCam S3 Pro and AOSU C9C-4H SolarCam before. What makes this model unique is that the solar panel can rotate and track the sun. Baseus claims that this allows the…
I am late to the game, investing in an Elgato Stream Deck. They have been popular with gamers and streamers for years, but I haven’t gamed much in years, and I have no intention of streaming. As they are relatively expensive, they never appealed to me. More recently, I started a job in IT support…
I first wrote about the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro back at the start of 2023, but for various reasons, the launch was delayed. It has finally been launched, and I have been using it for the past few weeks. My testing has been somewhat limited as I am based in the UK and use Virgin Media…
Over the years, I have reviewed a large number of smart light products, with me eventually settling on Philips Hue for my house. It is an undeniably expensive ecosystem to choose, but they are arguably the best. One brand I often mention as an alternative option in my reviews is Govee. They seem to have…
Orico are typically a brand I have associated with storage and memory products, such as the Orico Montage MTQ, which was the first 40Gbps USB4 external SSD on the market, and I still use this today when I travel. They also sell a variety of NVMe drives, and their NVMe enclosures are a popular option…
I recently reviewed the Yeedi M14 Plus Robot Vacuum & Mop. I was great, but as always, disappointing that Yeedi have not launched it in the UK. They have now launched the S16 Plus, and Yeedi claims this is the most advanced and powerful flagship robot vacuum to date. However, it is strikingly similar in…
The TerraMaster D4 SSD is a compact direct-attached storage (DAS) device offering high-speed connectivity via USB4 and support for four M.2 NVMe drives. Designed to appeal to content creators, professionals working with large media files, and power users seeking flexible, fast external storage, this enclosure allows up to 32TB of raw capacity using four 8TB…
I reviewed the Nuki Smart Lock 2.0 back in 2019, which was my first review of a smart lock that integrated with your existing door hardware and allowed you to continue using your key. At the time, I was somewhat critical of the way it mounted on UK door handles, but since then, I have…
