I have previously reviewed the Twelve South StayGo USB-C Hub and found it to be excellent. While it wasn’t cheap, it has all the ports I could need and has been 100% reliable since I initially reviewed it. This is being marketed for the iPad or MacBook. However, there is no reason why this won’t…
Portable projectors have become popular in recent years, allowing people to have big-screen movie nights without a gigantic projector in your living room.

Most fibre internet running over phones lines caps out at 76Mbps, but Virgin offers up to 500Mbps in most areas and gigabit for some lucky few.

I reviewed the Bose Frames a bit over two years ago. At launch, Bose promised big things, with the initial branding being Bose AR which was supposed to feature augmented reality. They were quite good, they were not bone-conducting like you might imagine, such as Aftershokz but they managed to sound good without creating too…
I have reviewed a few Nacon peripherals in the past year, with the Nacon MG-X being my most recent review and previously the Nacon Pro Compact. They are now back with a new Xbox controller, this one takes most of the excellent features of the Nacon Pro Compact and ramps things up to the next…
