I previously reviewed the Mobile Pixels Trio portable monitor for laptops, which was a 12.5″ monitor that magnetically attaches to the back of your laptop display and then slides out. I liked the concept behind it. You don’t need a monitor stand, so you can get a dual-screen laptop display in cramped environments. The design…

The Meross MSS620HK is advertised as being an outdoor smart plug thanks to its durable design and IP44 rating. I think the overall…
I have previously reviewed the Geekom Mini IT11 and IT8 and have been sold on the idea of a mini-PC ever since. These are versatile computers ideal for work PCs, HTPCs, or a variety of server applications such as Home Assistant or a Plex media server. I don’t think I need to sell the idea…
Creative announced the Sound Blaster Katana SE in June, which sits between the Katana V2 and V2X in pricing.
