Pironman 5 Mini 18

REVIEW – I have always been a fan of the Raspberry Pi. I love the size and versatility it offers. There are so many creative projects you can do with them. Not that I have done much more than setting up a retro gaming device, but still. I also love all the different cases available

IMG 20251126 040409

REVIEW – I’ve been testing laptop docking stations for over two decades, and the cable chaos on my desk has only gotten worse.

Novium Interstellar Hoverpen – A Gravity Defying Futuristic Pen

Novium Hoverpen 12

REVIEW – As a writer for the Gadgeteer, there are opportunities to review products that line up more in the “wants” column rather than the “needs” column. The Novium Hoverpen Interstellar is one such product. Do you “need” this fancy ballpoint pen? No, but would you “want” it? Absolutely! ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $239.00 Where

Pexar Starlight 15 DigitalFrame 10

REVIEW – “Hi, my name is Frank, and I take a lot of pictures”. And many, many…most of them in fact, stay on an external hard drive or on my socials. They are limited to never being seen or seen on small, handheld devices. I would run out of wall space if I wanted to

RENPHO Artemis LED Light Therapy Mask Review

Renpho Artemis LED Mask 8

TerraMaster D4 SSD 4-Bay All-Flash DAS review – Take that, Apple!

TerraMaster D4 SSD 3

LoogGuitar 11 1

REVIEW – Most people love music, and many wish they could make music, but feel it is too difficult. Like everything else, it seems, learning music is easier if you are young, but a full-sized guitar is often larger for little hands and is also quite an investment.

SwitchBot AI Art Frame 18 1

REVIEW – I have several digital picture frames around the house, evoking laughter and nostalgia with each passing image, all of which are relegated to countertops due to their wired power requirements.
