The Pocophone/Poco F1 was perhaps one of the best buys in recent years offering incredible value for money and the follow up has been hotly anticipated for over a year. There has been mixed information on whether or not the new Poco F2 will be a rebadged version of the Xiaomi Redmi K30 Pro. Originally…
The new Intel Core i9-10900K is now official, sitting at the top of the lineup for the new Intel CPUs. The flagship Core i9-10900K is a fully unlocked chip with an integrated GPU. The CPU has multiple turbo boost frequencies with it topping out at an impressive 5.3Ghz As always with a new CPU launch…
With the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, I wrote a scathing comparison of the new MediaTek Helio G85 with its pitiful 50Mhz difference in GPU frequencies compared to the existing, unimpressive, Helio G80. If we ignore my belief that the MediaTek Helio G85 is just a marketing stunt by announcing a brand-new chipset…

IoT devices that measure air quality are becoming increasingly common. I reviewed the Foobot back in 2017, then the Airthings Wave Plus in 2019. Recently I have been testing the Aranet4 HOME from the Latvian company SAF Tehnika. While the effects of high levels of CO2 were long thought to be benign, research has found that concentrations…

This year the cost of flagship phones has gone a little crazy thanks to the 5G equipped Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. Some people are blaming Qualcomm for price gouging, others state it is just the extra cost of the 5G modem required, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some manufacturers are just using 5G as a…
Facing problems with your Windows 10 on laptop? Does it crash too often or just won’t load at all? Whatever the case, you are in need of some expert help. But what if you could fix the issue all on your own? Yes, that’s very much possible and here are a couple of options that…
