NEWS – Most laptop backpacks treat weight as an afterthought. The bag protects your gear, handles rain, organizes your cables, and it does all of that somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 pounds before you’ve packed a single thing inside. WaterField Designs took a different approach with the Trigo Laptop Backpack, a $349 commuter pack handcrafted

ARTICLE – We’ve gotten used to the idea that every gadget should do more than one thing to earn space in a bag. Multitools and earbuds that double as health monitors prove the concept works when the execution is solid. Other times, the result falls flat.

Most knife owners treat blade laws like weather: something you check before you leave, then hope for the best. Pack a locking folder for a weekend in London, feel the weight of it settle in your jacket pocket, and you’ve already miscalculated. Carry a one-handed locking folder through Germany and you’re technically breaking the law,

ARTICLE – The smartphone industry spent the last decade telling gamers that glass is good enough. Tap the screen, swipe the virtual joystick zone, clip on a Bluetooth controller when things get serious. Ayaneo, a company that’s built its name on compact Android gaming handhelds, just challenged that assumption directly. The Ayaneo Pocket Play is

REVIEW – You know those moments. The moments that someone cuts you off, or speeds past you, or is tailing you, or just driving like a maniac. Having the REXING R4-RD 4-channel dash cam has all my bases covered. It might be recording the drive, evidence for insurance, or some other scenario, the four camera

Every household runs on shared gear that nobody deliberately chose. Dead flashlight in the kitchen drawer, dusty multitool next to the tape, tangled cables pooled in a bowl on the counter. Most of that gear arrived one piece at a time, bought for whoever needed it that day, then absorbed into the house. Nobody audited

Your phone doesn’t belong on your nightstand. Hatch has been making that argument since its first Restore, and the Restore 3 at $169.99 is the sharpest execution of that philosophy yet.

ARTICLE – Every keychain has dead weight. Most people carry at least one clip, fob, or attachment that looked useful in the store and turned useless within a week. Miniature flashlights die and stay dead. The promise of practical keychain gear has burned people enough that most of us stopped trusting the category entirely. Funbro’s

Gaming laptop collaborations have trained people to expect a sticker job. Print a character on an existing lid, swap one accent color, and call it a special edition. Buyers have seen that formula so many times that most don’t look twice anymore. The Asus ROG Flow Z13-KJP, built with Kojima Productions, skips it entirely. Price:

Portable speakers almost never get meaningful discounts while they’re still the current model. JBL can hold prices firm because demand stays consistent, and retailers rarely need to push inventory that sells itself. That makes Woot’s deal worth a closer look.

ARTICLE – Every EDC pouch makes the same silent promise: your gear will be organized and ready when you need it. Most break that promise fast.

Color didn’t used to matter much in premium headphones. You’d walk into a store, see black and silver, and that was the whole conversation. Over the last couple of years, brands figured out that finish drives buying choices as much as sound quality, and the ones that moved first have held shelf attention longer. Sony
ARTICLE – The Swiss Army Knife hasn’t changed much since your grandfather carried one. Same scales, same tweezers wedged into the same slot, same basic tool lineup that Victorinox has refined over the decades but never truly reimagined.

Date night has a pocket problem. You want your phone, your wallet, maybe your keys, and that’s about it. The tactical gear that works for a weekend hike doesn’t belong in chinos and a blazer.
