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

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

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

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

REVIEW – In my childhood, the venerable Super Soaker™ was the coveted new water gun that every kid HAD to have. If you showed up with one of those pea-shooter water guns to a water fight and other people had a Super Soaker™, you were done for. I feel like the electric blaster style water

REVIEW – My partner bought a cheap armless wide chair for her office a few months ago. She absolutely loved the format of this chair, since she can shift positions frequently and with more variety than a standard tall back chair with arms. These kinds of chairs are great if you like tucking one leg

REVIEW – Office and gaming chairs are rarely a one-size-fits-all solution, so the variety of models on the market help people of different sizes, shapes, and preferences to find their perfect fit. GTRACING offered to let us review their Cozy Series GT205 chair, which features a wider than average seat and what looks like extra

REVIEW – Projectors these days are available in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and price points. These range from sub-$100 compact low resolution models of dubious origin up to multi-thousand dollar home-theater monstrosities. Portable projectors have historically come with compromises like lower brightness, resolution, or features compared to heavier and more expensive home theater models,

REVIEW – A laser engraver/cutter can be a great tool to add to your maker workshop for a variety of reasons. We’ve used the laser engraver I reviewed a few years ago (the ORTUR Laser Master 2) for all sorts of projects including some great custom gifts for friends and family. The traditional laser engraver

REVIEW – As I was preparing for this review, I tried to estimate the number of different computer screens I’ve used over the years for work and gaming. My best guess is no less than 50 different makes, models, and sizes ranging from 7 inch handheld LCD screens up to 49″ curved ultrawide monstrosities. For
NEWS – I reviewed the Ausom Leopard electric scooter last year and loved it despite some minor quibbles. Ausom is releasing a new and improved version shortly called the Ausom Leopard DT1 Pro electric scooter, and it looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun to review (coming soon!). Upgrades on this model

REVIEW – If you’ve ever used a MagSafe stand or accessory with an iPhone, then you know how convenient and secure that system is. Apple uses similar magnets in their iPad Pro lineup for their own proprietary Apple Keyboard, and this means that third party accessory makers can create things to utilize this system as
