Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
I have previously reviewed the superb Xencelabs Pen Tablet which is arguably a better alternative to the popular Wacom Intuos Pro medium. I then reviewed the Huion Inspiroy 2 L Pen Drawing Tablet, which is incredible value for money at just £75. I tried to gift the Xencelabs tablet to a tattooist friend, but she…
Aqara has recently launched several new products for the EU/UK, including the superb Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus EU and the impressive but limited Touchscreen Dial V1. The Aqara Light Switch H2 EU I am reviewing today is far less exciting than my previous two reviews, but in some regards, it is the best product…
Aqara recently launched several new wall switch products, including the superb Panel Hub S1 Plus. The Aqara Touchscreen Dial V1 EU, which I am reviewing today, is a rotary dial wall switch featuring haptic feedback, two relay switches, and six wireless switches. It incorporates a 1.32-inch round touch screen for adjusting compatible Aqara devices through…
The Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus EU has arrived, promising to transform how we interact with our smart homes. This wall-mounted control panel combines a touchscreen interface with physical switches, aiming to provide a centralised command centre for Aqara’s ecosystem and beyond. As smart home technology continues to evolve, devices like the S1 Plus seek…
With MWC 2025 officially starting on Monday, many brands are announcing new products this weekend. Xiaomi has announced the global availability of the Xiaomi 15 and has also announced the new Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro, which comes in two variants, the standard model and a new WiFi model which uses Snapdragon Sound Technology Suite with…
Xiaomi has announced its latest flagship phones with the Xiaomi 15 series, which consists of the 6.3” Xiaomi 15 and 6.7” Pro model. Early leaks suggest that the Ultra model will also be launched, which features a 50 MP camera with a 1” sensor and a 200MP telephoto lens. I have been using the Xiaomi…
There are probably hundreds of excellent ANC earbuds that are suitable for fitness. The vast majority of earbuds nowadays have some IP rating to protect them from liquid ingress. There are a growing number of alternative styles, including bone conduction headphones and open-ear earbuds and the recent trend of clip-on/ear-cuff earbuds. But, if your preference…
I have been a big fan of mini PCs for several years. With some of my earlier reviews, the performance wasn’t great if you planned to use it for a normal Windows PC, but the GEEKOM Mini IT8 was the first mini PC I reviewed where I felt I could replace my desktop for my…
Aqara recently announced its first outdoor camera, the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro, which is available in WiFi and PoE versions. As the name suggests, this is not just a camera but also a Zigbee and Open Thread Border Router with Matter support. The camera uses a graphene-cooled 1/1.8” sensor with an f/1.0 aperture, which…
Following on from my Obsbot Tiny SE review, I have also been checking out the new Obsbot Meet SE. This is almost the same as the Tiny SE but without the pan and tilt features, which therefore makes it much cheaper at just £65+VAT vs £109+VAT or £99 and £129 on Amazon. While it lacks…
As much as I love robot vacuums, we still regularly use a stick vacuum for on-demand cleaning and for cleaning areas, a robot vacuum can’t reach. I am fortunate enough to have multiple excellent vacuums, and I typically use the Gtech AirRAM 3 Dual Edge-Clean and Hoover HFX Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for any additional…
The OBSBOT Tiny SE is a compact AI-powered webcam designed to cater to the needs of streamers, remote workers, and content creators. This camera effectively replaces the original Obsbot Tiny and incorporates some of the advanced features of the more expensive Tiny 2 models while retaining the same 1080P 1/2.8” CMOS to keep things affordable….
