It has been a while since I have reviewed an ultra-budget laptop, but they are popular on Amazon, and for good reasons, because they are so cheap. iOTA is one of the many brands offering such a device, they don’t have the brand recognition as Dell or Acer, but the laptop they sent me is…
I regularly review Aukey products and find them to be one of the best peripheral and accessory sellers on Amazon. They have recently sent me two new products to review, an ergonomic wireless mouse and an extra-large mouse matt. Mouse Matt As dull as it sounds this is the best item out of the two….
I have previously reviewed the fantastic TP-Link HS110 smart plug, which I now have 3 of. They are great for powering down devices on a schedule or via Alexa and allows me to fully power down my office room at night and have everything switched on when I get there in the morning. As usual…
Having previously reviewed the ABOX A1, which had issues with some local file playback, I thought I would try another budget Android TV brand, this time the Globmall X4. Priced at just £42 it is slightly cheaper than the ABOX A1 but has the same specification. The internals is the same, you get: CPU: Amlogic…
I have reviewed a lot of security cameras now; this varies from indoors only, outdoor-specific, POE and totally wireless. While I have reviewed a lot of favourite brands such as Netgear Arlo and Blink XT I haven’t reviewed one of the many budget Chinese cameras that are available on Amazon. I suspect if you grouped…
Another power bank from one of our favourite accessory companies Aukey on Amazon. I have found they always make reliable, well-built products at a decent price. There isn’t a massive amount of variation or innovation with power banks; a battery is a battery after all. However, this one does have a few stand out features…
Ultimate Ears are sub-brand of Logitech after being bought out by them in 2008. Initially, they started out as a custom IEM, and they entered the portable speaker market in 2013 with the UE Boom. The terribly named Ultimate Ears Megablast is their latest offering and is an IP67 rated portable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speaker with…
The Echo Spot was finally released in the UK this week and can either been seen as a budget mini Echo Show or very expensive Echo Dot with a screen. Does it find a comfortable middle ground between the two devices? While the Echo Show is large and ugly, the Echo Spot can only be…
Following my review of the GooBang Doo ABOX A1 Plus, I wasn’t entirely happy with the performance for my particular needs. It is a decent device for the money, I am just a bit fussy about things, I wasn’t overly keen on the user interface, the remote didn’t work very well in Netflix, and I…
I have previously reviewed one Android box before, and that was the M8S which appears to have been a massively popular device for people. I primarily use a Nvidia Shield, and an Amazon 4K box, or RPI3s. I like to watch a TV show on my lunch break so use an RPI3 on a widescreen,…
I feel like I couldn’t live without a power bank near me at all time. Slim, powerful phones are all well and good, but if you can’t get a full days’ worth of use out of it, it is not much use. Hence my need for a power bank. I have reviewed many power banks…
I personally use headphones for a couple of hours a day, primarily at the gym. The problem here is that I sweat a lot, and I am just generally a bit clumsy. Wired headphones always snag and break. Any headphone with electronics like controls always dies eventually. Wireless ones inevitably get lost or put through…
