REVIEW – I reviewed the BLUETTI Swapsolar Multicooler last year, but when we took it on a weekend trip, we realized it was much larger than we needed for a short trip. I’ve been on the hunt for a good smaller cooler ever since, and the offer to review the BODEGACOOLER 12 volt Car Refrigerator […]

REVIEW – I’ve gone through dozens of keyboards in my years working and gaming with computers, ranging from the worst mushy cheap keyboards in my college days to some very excellent mechanical keyboards in recent years. I even bought a couple of Keychron’s K1 Pro slim keyboards for me and my partner, which have been

REVIEW – The flood of Mini PCs continues unabated. I’ve personally reviewed a half dozen of these useful little PCs over the years, and while they keep getting better, the sheer number of models is starting to become hard to differentiate. I had to double check my notes and pictures multiple times while writing this
ACEMAGIC W1 AMD Ryzen™ 7 8745HS Mini PC review – pretty fast for yet another Mini PC Read More
REVIEW – I dislike mowing the lawn so much that I finally entered the middle-age era of paying neighbor kids to do it in recent years. We have about a quarter acre of grass, and it is a chore I’d rather avoid if possible. Unfortunately, our last lawn mower has moved on, so the timing

REVIEW – I grew up hearing the Benjamin Franklin saying “…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”. I would propose an updated version for our modern era: “…except death, taxes, and using ‘AI’ in every tech product imaginable”. Here at the Gadgeteer, we’re a “No-AI in our reviews”

REVIEW – For the past few years, I’ve relied on backpacks to carry my laptop and tablet when traveling. However, there have been moments when I found myself wishing for a quality laptop bag as an alternative. The Waterfield Designs Shinjuku Laptop Brief immediately caught my eye as something likely to last for a long
Waterfield Designs Shinjuku Laptop Brief review – stylish and functional, for a price Read More
REVIEW – I’ve been a smartwatch wearer since 2012, with the Pebble smartwatch. The primary purpose of a smartwatch for me has always been to screen calls and notifications before actually taking my phone out to respond or interact with them. The Pebble pretty much only did that function, and subsequent smartwatches over the years
OnePlus Watch 3 review – a solid big smartwatch with battery for literal days Read More
REVIEW – I’ve owned multiple mobile Windows gaming PCs now, including the excellent Asus ROG Ally and the larger Lenovo Legion Go. I also frequently play Windows and Xbox games streamed to mobile hardware (Android phones and tablets) combined with controllers. Mobile gaming is great if you’re commuting, traveling, or simply away from your desk
REVIEW – I had the pleasure of reviewing the REDMAGIC 8s gaming phone a few years ago, and I was impressed with the sheer power it offered at a surprisingly reasonable price. At that time, I didn’t switch to it for my daily driver because the cameras were poor, and I thought I needed weather
REVIEW – Electric skateboards are a great way to get around and have come a long way in the last few years. Remote controls have gone wireless and use virtually lag-free technology for throttle control (which is a must when you’re hurtling along the streets at 20+ mph with obstacles and vehicles trying to kill
MEEPO Go Electric Skateboard review – a solid long range electric skateboard Read More
REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of laser cutter/engravers so far, but I haven’t had the chance to review an IR laser yet. Infrared lasers open up engraving and cutting with a range of new materials like metal and stone that diode lasers can’t handle, at a lower cost than most CO2 laser cutter/engravers. I
REVIEW – The mini PC is an interesting product, manufacturers have basically taken laptop components and crammed them into a small box. While these have been around for a while, early versions had pretty limited performance compared to comparable desktop PCs. Recently though, the gap between desktop and laptop CPUs in particular has gotten smaller

REVIEW – I had just finished reviewing the Ausom DT1 Pro scooter when another review offer came in for the isinwheel S10Max scooter. I loved the power and speed of the Ausom DT1 Pro, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting people who aren’t experienced scooter riders try it out in anything but the lowest settings
isinwheel S10Max scooter review – more than enough for most riders Read More
REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a handful of portable projectors now, but so far none of them have passed the “watching a Lord of the Rings Extended Edition on battery test”, of which movies the Return of the King runs a whopping four hours and one minute! I know most people aren’t watching 4 hours of
REVIEW – As I started writing this review, I did the math and realized I’ve been playing virtual reality games for nearly a decade now (starting with the Oculus Rift developer kit 2 in 2014). Even with that early hardware there have been amazing moments that are etched in my memory, like when my cockpit

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few watches from Ticwatch here at the Gadgeteer over the years, and they tend to be consistently good smartwatches with better than average battery runtimes. The latest model that Ticwatch has sent my way is the Ticwatch Atlas, a full-featured Google Wear smartwatch that looks like it might give
Ticwatch Atlas smartwatch review – another solid watch from Ticwatch Read More
REVIEW – I’ve tried a handful of smart locks in various locations in our house over the years, with mostly disappointing results. Poor battery life, abysmal fingerprint reading, and internet connectivity issues have all marred previous attempts. When the review offer came in for the aqara smart lock U300, I was eager to try it

REVIEW – My first smartwatch was the Pebble, which I found to be instantly invaluable by displaying my notifications right on my wrist and then letting me decide if they were important enough to pull my phone out. For me, this has been the primary function of my smartwatches to this day. Other functions and

REVIEW – The flood of mini-PCs continues unabated in 2024, with five Geekom mini PCs reviewed by myself and other Gadgeteers this year alone! The previous models this year have been iterations on Intel and AMD processors that have been relatively similar year after year with minor performance bumps, but this year the Intel® Core™

REVIEW – If you’re anything like me, any time you’ve ridden one of those ride-share scooters scattered across many cities you wished they could go faster (though they’re still better than walking). Ausom’s Leopard scooter that I reviewed last year solved the speed problem for me, but I had some minor issues with it like
