The Bush Eluma is a low cost tablet running a full version of Windows 10 but can it compete with Android based tablets or is it as usable as low cost 2-in-1s? Priced at £79.99 this is about as cheap as it gets when it comes to a Windows tablet, but the specification isn’t much …

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] Over recent years there has been a huge boom in the number of affordable Windows based laptops and convertibles. This seems especially true since the launch of the Intel Intel Z3735F which seems to power every sub £200 notebook out there. Thanks to Moores Law you don’t have to suffer …

Acer have been focussing heavily on their gaming orientated products recently. I had the pleasure of trying out several of the Predator products during the #AcerLiveBlog2016 even in Belfast last month, and the past two weeks I have had the Predator Z35 monitor at my office to review. The Predator monitors are without a doubt …

I am loving the focus on the high end gaming equipment. The monitors are the things that really stand out from the event, but there is also pre-built gaming PCs …

Today I have the more affordable dLAN 550 WiFi starter kit, which as you can imagine offers the same functionality the 1200 but at a …

We have been very fond of products by FRITZ! Recently, they have been a relatively unknown player in the UK, but massive in Europe. Today we have a slightly niche product from them, the FRITZ!Box 6820 LTE, as the name suggests this is a 4G/LTE based router that eschews landlines altogether. This is not simply …

The Netgear Nighthawk range is Netgears upper tier range of products that has always focussed on the fastest possible WiFi speeds as well as an abundance of other features. The Nighthawk R7000 isn’t the newest model from Netgear, but was released late last year. It is priced as a reasonable-ish £139 on Amazon, and is …

Recently Devolo was kind enough to send me their new  dLAN 1200+ WiFi Ac Powerline Adapter to review. Powerline adapters are quite an interesting product that plug into your mains and then use your home wiring to create a wired network. This may seem like a step backward compared to WiFi but if you leave in …

Acer have been jumping on the 4k PC monitor tend big this year, they have released several models including the impressive looking S277HK and XB280HK. The former is a beautiful slim bezel 27″, which I think is the only slim bezel on the market and sells for around £530. The XB280HK is designed for gamers …

Recently we had the opportunity to test Crucials memory upgrade service. The upgrade service is basically an automated way to be able to identify upgrade components that work with your current system. It seems to be quite a niche idea as I suspect most people that build their own system will already know what is …

Intel recently released its Ivy Bridge family of processors and anyone who likes gadgets should be asking the question -is it a good idea to upgrade? True, its always a good idea to upgrade but sometimes neither the purse, nor the bank manager (my wife hates me calling her that) will yield the necessary quid. …

While not the most glamorous or exciting of technology, at Mighty Gadget we love a good NAS. In an era where optical media is becoming increasingly rare, having vast amounts of data storage accessible  on your network is becoming increasingly important, and devices like the Synology DiskStation DS411j provide that and a whole lot more. …

I am sure most people have noticed there has been a big push by the big mobile phone companies recently towards selling mobile broadband. Most new mobiles come with 3G and some form of a web browser and most companies sell some form of web access on top of the normal phone contracts. Companies like …

I was recently passed a review sample of the AceCad DigiMemo A402 from Selwyn Electronics. The DigiMemo is a portable and compact electronic notepad which you can use just like a clipboard to instantly record your notes, ideas, sketches, drawings and flowcharts both on paper and digitally at the same time. While I am normally …

Love it or hate it, it is very likely you will use a Windows based PC at some point during your working week. Recently Microsoft officially named the new version of Windows as Windows 7. Apparently the decision to use the name Windows 7 is about simplicity and Microsoft VP, Mike Nash, was quoted saying: …

Well, when MightyGadget got the opportunity to visit Paris on an all expenses paid trip to have a ganders at the latest Toshiba gear the answer was already set in stone (that would be a resounding yes if you hadn’t already got it). Take a closer look was the objective and that is exactly what …
