Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
I am in the process of reviewing the new Honor Magic5 Pro, which features the excellent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. I have already benchmarked the SD8 Gen2 chipset in comparison to the previous SD8 Gen1, but this was using the Redmagic gaming phones, which have active cooling and aggressive performance focussed tuning. Therefore, it makes…
I haven’t reviewed a dashcam since 2019, so I have been a bit out of the loop with dashcam technology and the brands out there. Vantrue was formed back in 2015, and they have quickly established itself as one of the best dash cam brands on the market. They have an extensive range of…
The Soundcore Motion X600 was announced earlier this month and will go on sale on the 6th of May. There is an excellent pre-order bonus where if you pay a £1 deposit (not refundable), you will be emailed a voucher between the 9th and 24th of May for £50 off. You then have 14 days…
I was quite excited when I learnt about a 3D printer from Anker, I’ve always found their products to have an impressive build quality, and the AnkerMake M5 is no exception. Equipt with an AI camera, 49-point auto-levelling, and 250mm/s recommended print speed, it’s impressive from the get-go. Assembly Firstly, as ever, is assembly; this…
With many people not carrying cash anymore, traditional wallets have fallen out of fashion. If you wear anything that is slim fitting, you really don’t want a huge wallet bulge. Back in 2017, when I was looking for a slimmer, more aesthetic wallet, I ended up getting Vaultskin City Slim Bifold wallet which has served…
The Nest WiFi Pro was announced back in October 2022. Google chose to skip WiFi 6 and jump straight to WiFi 6E, giving this router the new 6GHz band, which provides superior throughput for short range connectivity. Like the older Nest routers, this works as a mesh system and can be paired with other Nest WiFi…
I am in the middle of reviewing the Google Nest WiFi Pro. The main reason why I bought this router was that it could work with Matter and is a Thread border router. This section of the review ended up being longer than expected due to various issues, and therefore I decided to split it…
The new EnGenius ECW130 cloud-managed access point is a new access point aimed at being an affordable way to expand existing EnGenius networks. At first glance, it is a bit of an odd access point to launch in 2023 as it is limited to the ageing WiFi 5. EnGenius already have a WiFi 6E access…
I have previously reviewed the Pinter and Pinter 2, and I have been impressed with how easy it is to brew your own beer and the quality of the beer. The Pinter 2 was only announced in August 2022, with my review back in December, so it was a bit of a surprise to me…
The Intel Arc A750 and A770 GPUs officially launched in October 2022, with Acer and Asrock being the only third-party brands to launch their own models. At the time of writing, this BiFrost Arc A770 is priced at around £400, which is about the same price as the more affordable GeForce RTX 3060 Ti cards…
The Homey smart hubs have been around for years now, and I covered the launch of the original Homey Pro back in 2019. Homey has been trying to be the panacea of smart home fragmentation long before the Matter was a thing. They are arguably the best solution for anyone using a mixture of smart…
I bought the Cycplus electric pump last year mainly to use on my car as one tyre looked flat, and it looked useful to keep in the car for emergencies. I could have bought a 12V electric car pump which would have been cheaper and likely more effective (or at least not reliant on a…
