Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Tri-band Mesh System (RBK852) announced & it comes with some serious early adoptor tax

I love Netgear, I love Mesh Wi-Fi, and I love Wi-Fi 6. So I have been quite excited about the new RBK852 WiFi 6 Tri-band Mesh System from Netgear, however, you should expect some sticker shock. If you thought WiFi 6 routers were expensive then the RBK852 is going to make your toes curl. Early…

Garmin Vivoactive 4 Launched – now with music as standard, new Sony GPS, and Elevate V3 optical HR sensor with PulseOx

Following on from the Garmin Venu announcement, I can (and will) copy and paste the details of the Vivoactive 4. Functionally the two watches are almost identical, however, Garmin has used the Venu name to launch its first watch with AMOLED. This seems like a sensible move to me, allowing them to try out AMOLED…

What is the Garmin Venu and how does it compare to the Vivoactive 4

All those leaks I wasn’t too sure about, were pretty much accurate. Today Garmin launched a new watch to their line-up, the Garmin Venu. They probably could have called it a Vivoactive 4 Pro or something, as technically it is the same watch, but different display. I think it is a sensible move from Garmin,…
