Xiaomi opening a UK store soon in London – Finally UK stock of Pocophone F1?

I post about Xiaomi a lot, and for good reason, they produce a huge number of excellent phones and electronics at bargain prices. UK availability is none existant though and with customers having to import products from sites such as Gearbest and Bandgood.

If you can’t control it with your voice is it even worth buying? Love it or loathe it, Amazon Alexa is taking over the world. What started off as a fun voice-controlled speaker has expanded to included wall clocks, microwaves and more. So, it may come as no surprise that Anker under their sub-brand Roav…

Baseus Wireless Car Charger Review – Air-vent QI fast wireless charging

I have used plenty of car mounts in the past, most of them have been the sucky-cup style or more recently the ones that require a magnet on the back. I have never really liked the idea of air vent mounts before as they sound like they would come loose. However, Baseus sent me their wireless…

LG 32UK550 31.5 Inch 4K Display with DCI-P3, HDR10, & FreeSync for $500

4K monitors have become increasingly common and at an affordable price, but a large number of them are 27″, which is OK for gaming but for office work you have to using scaling which then reduces the screen real estate benefits of 4K.

ZADAK 32GB Consumer DDR4 UDIMM RAM arrives using double height module

Considering the price of DDR4 RAM I don’t think there is a huge demand for 32GB modules but I thought ZADAK’s new 32GB double height UDIMM RAM was interesting enough to post about. Currently when you buy RAM the sticks cap out at 16GB for consumer boards, allowing Ryzen and Socket 1151 boards with 4 slots to achieve 64GB…
