Creative BT-W4 Review – One of the first Bluetooth transmitter dongles with aptX Adaptive

I reviewed the Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth transmitter almost two years ago. The Creative BT-W4 is a refresh of that device, bringing the specification up to modern standards. This new Bluetooth dongle is one of the first on the market by a big brand to support aptX Adaptive, but this means that the older aptX LL…

EnGenius ECW230S Review: A 4×4 Cloud Managed Indoor Wireless Access Point with WIPS radio and Zero DFS radio detection

Reolink Go PT Plus Review – A pan-tilt 2K camera with 4G connectivity

I have previously reviewed the Reolink Argus PT Pro and the Reolink Go Plus. The Reolink Go PT Plus is basically those cameras merged into one. The Reolink Go PT Plus costs about £46 more than the Reolink Go PT Plus, but I think it is worth the investment if the camera is located a…

Desklab Monitor Ultralight Portable 4K Touchscreen Monitor Review

Please note the reader comment at the bottom of this review. They highlight that while the monitor is good, when it works, it breaks easily, and customer support is very bad.

Honor Magic4 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro & X3 Pro Benchmarks & Battery – Testing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs SD888

I have made this performance comparison purely because I am in the middle of reviewing both the Honor Magic4 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro. Both these phones have a similar specification, so theoretically, they should provide similar performance, but software optimisation will likely make a difference.
