Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
Originally posted May 2018 – Updated on 02/05/2019 The Polar OH1 has now had a new firmware rolled out enabling Ant+. It was a great device to start with and now, after a year of using it, I think it is probably the best heart rate tracker on the market. Polar have recently overhauled their…
It has been around three years since I have done a Chromebook review and since then the OS has come a long way. Primarily the ability to install Android apps exponentially improved the functionality of the devices, allowing them to sit nicely between Windows laptops and Android tablets while staying (mostly) affordable. Chromebooks don’t get…
I have been a big fan of Anker products for a while now, and their audio gear is superb offering superb performance for the price. Recently I have been reviewing the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air which is completely wired free earphones that cost £79.99 on Amazon, but there is an additional £10 voucher you can…
I have previously reviewed the Thermaltake Smart RGB 700 Watt 80+ PSU, and today’s model is from the same family but for a lower power rating. As with the previous review, this is a non-modular power supply with RGB lighting that has a 120mm cooling fan with intelligent RPM control. The Smart RGB Series are…
I am a huge fan of the Ring Doorbell 2, as someone that gets a lot of deliveries, I get notified by my watch, phone, Alexa, and Chimes when someone is at the door whilst letting me see who it is when I am away. In the future, I will hopefully integrate this with a…
I have covered Mesh Wi-Fi systems a lot over the past year or so, and this is due to their explosion in popularity in recent years. The biggest problem most people have with WiFi is the range, and previous solutions such as running multiple routers, repeaters and powerline extenders were all a bit hit or…
I do my best to avoid ever speaking on to people on the phone, and like most people, I am inundated with spam callers. This varies from robocalls, insurance calls and even Google and their persistent AdWords account calls. It is not uncommon for me to just flat-out ignore any number I don’t recognise, but…
As lust-worthy the Huawei P30 Pro or Galaxy S10 are, they are undeniably expensive and for some people wholly unnecessary and unaffordable. If you are someone that just wants needs a phone for its most basic functions, but would still like to take the occasional photo or use social media, then there is plenty of…
I am a big fan of smart heating products, in particular, I love the zoned heating that Genius Hub offers, however it can get a bit pricey, with their 8x radiator kit costing £674.99 plus you have to replace the boiler controller which often requires expert help. While I am a fully-fledged tech geek and…
The Netatmo Presence has been out for a few years now, making Netatmo well ahead of the curve for wired outdoor surveillance cameras with a floodlight. It is only the past year or so that we have seen options from Ring, Arlo and Yale offering similar functionality. Similar to their indoor Welcome camera, the Presence…
If you use anything that records data to an SD card frequently such as cameras, drones and dashcams then getting the footage from it can be a chore. A lot of modern tech comes with a variety of connection methods including Bluetooth, NFC, USB, and WiFi but you can’t always guarantee that, and older models…
Launched in October 2018 I have finally had a chance to test the new TP-Link Deco P7 Hybrid Mesh system that uses powerline to establish a connection between the satellites. Currently priced at £189.99 on Amazon, the Deco range of products are some of the best reviewed on Amazon, and this pricing puts it at…
