REDMAGIC Astra gaming tablet review – phenomenal gaming power and OLED screen in a mini tablet

redmagic astra gaming tablet 1

REVIEW – I have thoroughly enjoyed several REDMAGIC phones here at The Gadgeteer, but today I get my first crack at one of their gaming tablets. The REDMAGIC Astra gaming tablet is rocking some of the best mobile hardware available in a compact tablet that’s much easier to carry around than a 10-13 inch one. […]

JMGO N1S Mini 06

REVIEW – As a massive fan of big-screen cinematic magic, I’m enamored with video projectors capable of producing eye-wateringly huge images.

anycubic kobraS1 36

REVIEW – A few short years ago, I’d never seen a 3D printer in the wild. In 2021 I got my hands on my first 3D printer to review: the ANYCUBIC Vyper 3D printer. Since that first printer I’ve lost count of how many printers I’ve reviewed and bought, but I currently have a print

Zafro 17

REVIEW – Summer is officially here and has been for a while in South Texas. I enjoy working on woodworking projects in my garage, but unfortunately, I didn’t plan to have my garage insulated when the house was built.  I want to insulate the garage so that I can eventually install a mini-split AC to

logitech flip folio 17

REVIEW – Adding a keyboard to my iPad has made long form text entry so much easier and faster. My favorite keyboard will probably always be the Apple Magic Keyboard because the form factor turns the iPad into a comfortable laptop-style “computer”. But, I know that particular keyboard is not within everyone’s budget, so today

ohwill autoinclinetreadmill 01

REVIEW – Let’s face it, all of us can use more exercise. I’ve got a job where I’m parked on my butt all day, and living in Florida doesn’t help—it’s so hot most of the year I can’t even step outside, much less go for a walk. The OHWILL Auto Incline Treadmill will be a

Enbrighten VIBE WiFi Modern Color-Changing LED Cafe Lights review

Embrighten 9

REVIEW – It might be summer, but to me, that’s just another word for Christmas prep time.  Lately, I’ve been seeing all these heavy-duty programmable string lights that can be left up year-round. I love the idea of hanging a string of lights up once and being done with my light display forever!  This led

Dreame H15 Pro Heat Wet and Dry Vacuum review – Some like it hot

Dreame H15 Pro Heat 24

REVIEW – Let me begin this review by saying that my wife—“Queen Cheri”—is a clean freak. She hates dirty floors. We use a Noesis Florio robot vacuum to clean 1-2 times per week, and then she vacuums every Saturday using her beloved Dyson stick vacuum. After she’s done vacuuming the floors spotless (the Dyson’s laser
