I’ve been testing the Huion Kamvas Slate 11 for several weeks now, and it’s an interesting proposition in the drawing tablet market. This is Huion’s attempt at creating a standalone Android drawing tablet that bridges the gap between a traditional graphics tablet and a consumer Android tablet. At around £240, it’s positioning itself as an…
Last year, I reviewed the Plaud Note, a ChatGPT-powered AI voice recorder & transcriber. Initially, I was sceptical about how useful this could be, given the £150 price point and the limited free transcribing, or the need to pay for a subscription. At the time, many phone brands were releasing their own AI live-transcription features…
I recently reviewed the excellent Ugreen NASync DH4300 Plus. As a long-time Unraid user, I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, due to the limited app availability, but I leaned into the functionality it does have, and have continued to use it since. This has now become my NAS, which I…
I have reviewed several digital photo frames over the past few years. I was initially sceptical of them as I always found cheaper options clearly looked like LCD displays and always felt they looked a bit cheap. But some brands like Aura produce some excellent options with matte displays, which do a half-decent job of…
Recently, SwitchBot launched several new Matter-enabled lighting products, including an RGBICWW floor lamp, strip light, and neon wire rope light, which are all fairly standard products in the world of smart lighting. The one product that stood out was the Candle Warmer Lamp. Yes, that’s a lamp that warms candles instead of lighting them, which then…
A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Ugreen NASync DH4300 Plus. I had relatively low expectations due to the Rockchip RK3576 chipset and Ugreen being relatively new to the world of NAS devices. However, I came away pleasantly surprised. It is not perfect, UGOS is limited in functionality compared to the likes of Synology or…
The eufyCam series has been my favourite option for wireless cameras ever since I first reviewed them with the eufyCam 2C. The main selling points have been that they do not require an ongoing subscription, unlike Arlo or Ring, and I have found that the battery life is superior to most competing brands, including Reolink…
I started a new job in IT support a bit over a year ago, and now I spend a lot of my day taking support calls from clients. In the past year, I have reviewed the budget EPOS Impact 100 and the mid-range EPOS Impact 400. I had previously been using an EPOS gaming headset…
Just over a year ago, I reviewed the excellent Netgear Orbi 770, which had excellent WiFi 7 performance with impressive speeds on the mesh-connected satellites. The RRP made it almost 60% cheaper than the flagship model while still being able to achieve multi-gig WiFi connectivity. However, at £900, now £600, it was still very expensive….
I have previously reviewed the OnePlus Watch 3, and it has been my favourite WearOS watch by a considerable margin. If I weren’t so deeply ingrained in the Garmin ecosystem, I would have switched to it as my personal watch and consistently recommended it to friends and colleagues. A few months later, OnePlus launched the…
After nearly a decade of waiting, Philips Hue has finally delivered what many smart lighting enthusiasts have been begging for – a bridge that can handle the demands of a modern smart home. The Hue Bridge Pro represents the first major hardware upgrade to the Hue ecosystem’s backbone since 2015, when the version 2 bridge…
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 has been available for around 3 months, but Xiaomi recently announced the Glimmer Edition, which upgrades the strap with a metal bracelet embedded with 6 glass crystals, delivering a blend of shine and texture. As always, the Smart Band 10 is probably the best affordable fitness tracker on the market,…
