The smartwatch market has been relatively slow to take off. But demand for intelligent wearable devices has grown consistently year-on-year and is now bigger than ever. While we might typically think of smartwatches as being produced purely by the tech companies, these days, larger fashion brands have also moved into the market, massively expanding the…
Watches are coming back into style. After a brief period of being overlooked as some thought they could rely on their devices to provide the time, people are now recognising the importance of a stunning time piece to complete their outfit.

We have all deleted something by accident in the past, even if you have a good backup policy you may not have an up to date backup. Things like USB drives and SD cards are particularly bad, I regularly format them forgetting I have something on there important. Recently I decided to check out the…
If you find yourself in need of a lot of storage and want something that is both fast and affordable, the new TerraMaster D4-300 4-Bay DAS could be a good solution.

AMD has finally announced its most affordable option for the current generation of motherboards, but what does it offer over the previous generation or the overclocking friendly B550 chipset?

Recently I have been covering quite a bit of multi-gig networking including the Zyxel XGS1210-12 switch as well as various multi-gig Wi-Fi 6 routers. Most of the affordable 10Gbps switches use SFP+ ports rather than copper RJ45 meaning you then need to find an…
