REVIEW – Robot vacuums have come a long way from the original Roomba I used circa 2004. New technology like AI and Lidar result in impressive mapping and eye-pleasing zig-zag carpet lines, instead of the chaotic randomness of the early robot vacuums. The 360 S7 Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop has just about every feature […]

REVIEW – I’ve always been interested in a GPS tracker for valuables, but haven’t gotten one yet for a variety of reasons. When the offer came to review the Invoxia GPS tracker, I jumped at the opportunity to see if it’s worth it. I recently bought a somewhat-expensive e-bike, so this gave me a great

REVIEW – Getting solid wifi speeds throughout my split-level house has been an ongoing struggle for years. I’ve tried multiple mesh routers (which all had ongoing connectivity issues) and powerline bridges (which also had issues due to our old wiring), before settling on a high-powered single router that I currently use. It’s stable, but speeds

REVIEW – My outdoor adventures are usually of the less-than-one-day variety, so I often don’t need device-recharging options beyond small portable chargers. However, I’ve been wanting to do multi-day camping/hiking trips and the CHOETECH Portable Solar Panel charger looks like a good option for keeping phones/tablets/laptops charged for these types of adventures. It could also be

REVIEW – As a nearing-40-years-old reviewer of tech gadgets, when I first saw the EPOS | SENNHEISER GSP 601 wired gaming headset I thought I might be about 20 years too old for them. A few weeks of blissful use has changed my mind completely, they’ve helped me stave off the mid-life-crisis urges, if only

REVIEW – Speakers can vary wildly in terms of sound profiles and quality. While I’m no audiophile (speaker snob), I do appreciate a nice set of monitors. I’ve owned a ridiculous amount of different computer and studio speaker sets through the years (my partner would say I might have a problem with buying too many

REVIEW – There are more smartwatches these days than I can shake a stick at, but if you ask people on the street to name models from memory I would bet you would get “Apple Watch” and “Fitbit”, and that’s about it. I’ve used quite a few different models of smartwatches over the years, from

REVIEW – The Logitech G G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals from Logitech in the Arcade/Simulator racing gaming world is very interesting to me. Compared to their previous offerings, they are positioning the G923 Racing Wheel as more simulator-leaning and immersive than their older similar wheels. The biggest change is the new “TRUEFORCE” feedback engine, which

REVIEW – Since I bought my iPad Pro 11 inch last year, I have intended to use it as a laptop replacement while not at my desk. I’ve tried various case/keyboard/mouse combinations, and all have been frustrating enough to not work for me. The Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad seems perfect, but the high cost

REVIEW – This was one of those products that I didn’t expect to love from my first impression. The fit was fine, sound was pretty good, but when I first put them on I thought they’d be uncomfortable over time. I was surprised when I realized several hours later that I hadn’t once taken them

News – Logitech’s new G G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals look to be a major upgrade over their previous simulator-grade accessories. Previous wheels (including the excellent Logitech G27 that I’ve used for years for Rally/F1/GT/Arcade racing) have had good rumbly force feedback, but this new model promises next-level realism in terms of feedback to the
REVIEW – The Glorious Modular Mechanical Keyboard might be the 10th (or so) keyboard I’ve purchased or reviewed, but by the end of the review period it’s already become my favorite. From no-fuss backlight settings to plug and play usability to full customization options, I think this line of keyboards could be perfect for just

REVIEW – Docking stations are one of those gadgets that you don’t know you need, until you’ve used one. Being able to plug in a single cable when you come and go from your desk is delightful. I’ve also had some experiences with poor docks where drivers caused problems or video wouldn’t work correctly. The

REVIEW – I’ve always wanted an “action camera”, but spending hundreds of dollars on something that I would use only occasionally in my life seemed like a poor choice. The AKASO Brave 6 Plus Action Camera promises performance that would rival the much-more-expensive brands, but does it live up to its spec-sheet? What is it?

REVIEW – As my gift to humanity, I vow to write this review without once making a pun about how the MECO High-Pressure Air Duster Blower “blows”. Like many computer-loving-geeks, I’ve long used the ubiquitous white cans of compressed air to blast dust out of my computers and laptops (and exacerbating my own allergies in

REVIEW – I’ve been at least mildly germophobic as long as I can remember (I’m a constant hand-washer, among other things), so the opportunity to review this Adonit Note-UVC stylus was intriguing (especially during this COVID-19 pandemic). This stylus sells for less than the Apple Pencil, with the added benefit of a germ-killing UV-C light

REVIEW – When I was younger I had a projector instead of a TV. I loved the larger picture, but as a heavily used living room TV it was far from ideal: any light in the room detracts from the picture, the constant fan noise was annoying, and the unit broke after less than a

REVIEW – What if you wanted a security camera, but were worried about Big Brother or hackers watching you or your loved ones through said camera? What if I told you there was a camera that can completely block its lens at the push of a button (or through a smartphone app)? The Kangaroo Privacy

REVIEW – I’ve used at least 15 different backpacks/bags for college and then work, which represent a huge range in price, ergonomics, and designs. I’ve had bags that I had to force laptops into, I’ve had bags where laptops became scuffed or damaged when set down too hard. My current go-to bag is great for

REVIEW – I haven’t used a robot vacuum since the early robot-vacuum days, and my memories are full of random missed spots and attempted robot-suicide as it flung itself down our hardwood stairs fairly regularly. Bagotta sent over their BG800 Robot vacuum to review, so we’ll see if nearly 2 decades of research and technology
