I previously posted about the Netgear Orbi 970 Series back in September 2023, and it has been available for US buyers for a while now. WiFi 7 devices have taken a little longer to arrive in the UK, which is likely due to regulatory reasons, with WiFi 7 being a new WiFi standard. Other brands…
As someone who hates vacuuming, I am a big fan of robot vacuums with LiDAR or VSLAM navigation and auto-empty stations. I have been using the AirRobo T10+ for the past two years, and it has done a decent enough job. At the time of my initial review, it was one of the most affordable…

I have previously reviewed the superb Ugreen Revodok Pro 209, which I have continued to use with my Geekom Mini IT13 Mini PC for the past few months. More recently, I reviewed the Revodok Pro Series 313 13-in-1 & 210 10-in-1 USB-C docks, which are both excellent and what I use when I travel. Ugreen…
The EnGenius EXT1105P is a little different from EnGenius. It is a POE switch that can only be powered from POE itself. This is, therefore, designed to extend network connectivity when there is no easy access to mains power. The gigabit input port is compatible with PoE++, which gives an input power of 51W to…
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series was announced in the middle of January, and like most established flagship phones, it is mostly an iterative upgrade of the previous generations. The two main improvements this year are the new 50MP 5x optical zoom lens and the range of AI features Samsung has introduced with One UI, which…
Back in 2022, I reviewed the original Marshall Motif ANC, which I thought was an attractive and excellent pair of earbuds. Marshall has now released a follow up with improved battery preservation, multi point connectivity and an upgrade to Bluetooth 5.3.
