Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
[Update May 2020] RadFan have been in touch unhappy with my comparisons. For clarification, I have not used RadFan, but when I reviewed the SpeedComfort, RadFan appeared to be the best-known name in the business. They are also the only company to do anything close to proving the energy-saving claims. My one comment that states…
Being in a house of two with no pets, I am not a big fan of indoor cameras, they are a bit wasted on me and there is always that creepy feeling of being watched. Then, of course, privacy concerns. The Somfy Indoor Camera hopes to address those concerns by utilising a physical shutter on…
Thermaltake have a LOT of case designs that cover all budgets and I would be surprised if you can’t find a case from the company that fits your requirements. Today we have the Thermaltake H200 which is one of the many affordable options I have reviewed from them this year. This costs just £64.99 on…
While AVM does not have a considerable market share in the UK, I have found their products to be superb. So much so that even though I have moved away from VDSL, and Wi-Fi from the router itself, I still choose to use the FRITZ!Box 7590 as the backbone of my network. It has been…
One of the big problems with outdoor security cameras is all the false alerts. A gentle breeze will set off some cameras. You can generally tweak the settings to find something to minimise alerts such as motion zones and sensitivity levels, but it is never perfect. The one exception I have found is the Netatmo…
Huawei/Honor has been stuck in the middle of a trade war between the US and China for well over 6-months now. The Honor 20 launch was overshadowed by the problem causing a delay with its release. That was the last proper new phone to launch with Google Play Services. The flagship Huawei Mate 30 Pro…
Announced in September with availability in October, the OnePlus 7T promises to be one of the best phones of the year bringing with it a significant spec bump that makes the Pro model feel a bit redundant. Specifications Screen: 6.55in FHD+ 90Hz Fluid AMOLED (402ppi) Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ RAM: 8GB of RAM Storage: 128 or 256GB (UFS 3.0)…
Padding out the TP-Link Deco line up is the new Deco P9 which is a step up compared to the P7 I reviewed earlier in the year. While this sounds like it should offer all the features the M9 does, they are not quite like for like in the full feature set. Deco P9 vs…
I am a big fan of cloud-managed networks, it massively simplifies managing everything related to a network. While my experience with it has been within the home and small business, for anyone managing a larger network, cloud networking has the potential to save hundreds of hours of work. I have previously reviewed Zyxel Nebula and…
While I have never had something stolen out of my bag, each year at MWC there are dozens of reports of people having their phones or laptops stolen. I normally take a messenger bag with a zip and flap, which I think is quite secure, but they are not comfy to carry around heavy electronics…
A quick mini-review of the Poweradd 20000mAh powerbank, which is capable of up to 18W power delivery which is enough to keep some ultraportable laptops going. This is not a brand I have heard of before, the benefit of this is that they are cheap. This costs just £20.99 after you apply a £5 voucher….
I am a big fan of dash cams, they are a small investment for something that could save you thousands in insurance claims, and potentially jail in some scenarios. Garmin recently did a study that found new drivers admitted to feeling paranoid about making mistakes (44%) and feeling intimidated by other cars on the road…
