The Orico Montage 40Gbps USB4 external SSDs were announced last month with claimed 3,126MB/s reads speeds and 2,832MB/s write speeds. It comes in an attractive bright enclosure draws from Mondrian’s famous work Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow, incorporating the thick black lines and blocks of colour that immediately distinguish the device from the monochrome…
I love my Jackery Explorer 1000, but just like electric cars, it would seem the trend of portable power stations is starting to shift towards using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). Bluetti has multiple LiFePO4 portable power stations, including the relatively affordable EB70 priced at around £699. Recently Anker launched the 757 PowerHouse using LiFePO4, which…
The new Kingston Ironkey Locker+ 50 USB drive is an affordable, secure drive that is a little bit different from all the other encrypted secure drives I have reviewed in the past. There is no FIPs certification, nor is there any physical security. All the security is built around the hardware encryption built into the…
This is my third review of Creality 3D printers. I have previously reviewed the Creality Halot One Plus resin printer and the Sermoon V1 Pro. The Ender Series from Creality has some of my favourite printers going; the Ender-3 S1 is no exception to this. Though it has room for multiple expansions and extras, it…
I recently reviewed the Jackery Solar Station 1000, and during my time with it, I wanted to use it for some real-world scenarios beyond keeping my laptop and phone charged. I am not particularly outdoorsy or a camper, but recently my mother has bought a canal boat and practically lives on it. Inevitably that has…
Huawei may not have the presence in the western consumer market that they once did, but they still churn out some amazing and often innovative hardware. At IFA, they have launched several new products, with the Watch D being the most interesting. Huawei Watch D with wrist-type ECG and blood pressure monitoring device Launched on…
I am glad that Honor is back launching phones in the UK/EU market running Google apps. The Honor 50 was a respectable re-entry to the market, competing in the very crowded mid-range segment. The Honor Magic4 Pro is possibly my favourite phone this year, though it has been an unremarkable year of phones. We skipped…
As part of the Honor IFA keynote, where the new Honor 70 was announced globally, they announced a new partnership with two AR artists to creatively reimagine an iconic landmark located in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The immersive AR experience will be available for all smartphone users to check out via the…
I have been a fan of smart scales for years, I found my Fitbit Scales, then Nokia (now Withings) scales were a significant help with my losing weight, allowing me to track the trend of declining weight compared to stressing about individual weigh-ins. Withings appear to be the only company attempting to expand the functionality…
A few days ago, I was mostly unimpressed with the Fitbit Sense 2 announcement, with very little difference between the previous generation and some of the new features not even available at launch. Yesterday, Garmin announced the new Venu Sq 2, and this launch is entirely different. Garmin has made massive improvements since the original…
Let’s admit that the modern business world greatly depends on remote connections, especially it has become obvious after the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic when the world faced massive lockdowns. There are not so many situations when we are required to visit the offices of our clients or business partners. The majority of questions…
It is easy to spend thousands on a large OLED TV, but if you are not obsessed with having the darkest blacks possible or fancy Dolby Vision HDR, then you can pick up some amazing buys at the lower end of the spectrum. I have never heard of the German TV brand METZ, before, but…
