Amber Plus Review – A NAS and router in one with Docker support but is it good as Synology

OPPO Find X3 Neo Review – A serious alternative to the OnePlus 9 & Xiaomi Mi 11

The OPPO Find X3 Neo was launched in March as an affordable alternative to the £1k+ OPPO Find X3 Pro. While the X2 Neo had a mid-range chipset, making it feel like an overpriced but premium midrange phone, this uses last year’s flagship Snapdragon 865. To me, this helps justify the cost, offering competitive performance…

Netgear WAX214 WiFi6 AX1800 Access Point Review – A bargain WiFi 6 access point that is worth considering over the Unifi 6 Lite

In the past few years, I have regularly praised cloud-managed networking systems such as Netgear Insight, Zyxel Nebula and Ubiquiti Unifi.
