REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a few 1080p projectors, and for the most part, I’ve been pleased with them. Along came the Dangbei Mars Pro 4K projector, and I just had to check out the highly-rated Dangbei Mars Pro 4K projector. 4K resolution and a laser have to be better, right? What is it? The Dangbei […]

REVIEW – A few months ago I tested the ACEMAGICIAN AMR5 mini PC and I loved it so much that it is the PC that I use most frequently in my home office for regular browsing, documents, and audio and video editing. Last month, my EDC laptop developed an issue with the power port that

REVIEW – Last September, I reviewed the KZ Acoustics AS16 Pro Earphones. I noted that they were a bit too bright-sounding for me, but were great for stage work where accuracy is more important than listening enjoyment. The biggest selling point for them was the price: $73 (at the time the review was posted). This

REVIEW – I’m left-handed which means I tend to have a strange writing “posture” that can make it hard to see what I’m writing. It also means that I often smear my writing because the side of my hand goes across the fresh ink instead of in front of it like a right-handed person. Is

REVIEW – Electric scooters seem to be everywhere these days. Unfortunately, that is mostly lost on me because I exceed the max loading weight for many of these consumer scooters. But…Inmotion recently announced its new Climber model with dual motors and a max weight limit that I fit into! I’m definitely pushing the limit, so

REVIEW – I’m a dedicated Mac OS user and my primary computer is a late 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro which even after a couple of years, still has amazing battery life and power to tackle any task I throw at it. The one thing that isn’t so amazing about it is the lack of ports.

REVIEW – For me, movies are an escape from reality and I love the zip-zap, swashbuckling of action, sci-fi, and adventure films! Immersion is the key and a bright, clear image is crucial. JMGO’s new N1 Ultra 4K triple laser projector packs a seriously bright, vibrant image to enjoy the story as the director
REVIEW – I ordered my first Pitaka case for the iPhone X back in 2017. It’s been one of my go-to brands ever since and to date, each of my subsequent phones has donned some Pitaka case variation. Each generation has subtle improvements and more color options. I was already using the MagEZ Case Pro

REVIEW – I haven’t seen under cabinet TV’s since my childhood in the 80’s and 90’s, but in many homes this area is a perfect spot for a TV, and with the advent of the smart TV it may just be time for a revival. I’ve personally been using a smart display the last few
REVIEW – Wallet, Leatherman multi-tool, phone, and flashlight. I check my pockets for them every time I set foot out of my house. I’m a flashlight geek and over the years, I’ve learned that a good one is worth its weight in gold. Ok, not literally, but having one like the Vosteed Reylight Rook

REVIEW – Do you ever try a new product with low expectations, only to be surprised that it has a feature or characteristic that you now can’t live without? This was the case with the Vari Curve Electric Standing Desk: I expected a minor upgrade over my previous $200 standing desk, and ended up realizing

REVIEW – Summer is almost here, which means it’s time to break out the inflatable paddleboards, inflatable kayaks, air mattresses for camping, and all those inflatable beach and pool toys! Like most parents, I’ve had my share of lightheadedness at the pool after blowing up dragons, mermaids, and donuts. And I’ve spent what seems like

REVIEW – The hobbyist’s metal detector has to be one of the most unglamorous gadgets. Perhaps it is the notion that it usually finds discarded trash or loose change. Can I find more than just trash with the depth and alloy detection of a Skycruiser TX-910 metal detector? Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – Whether you already own an EV or are considering one in the future, there’s more to it than just the car itself. Charging takes a little more planning and time than just hitting the gas station. The included charger is usually a low speed, lightweight 110v unit that can take up to a

REVIEW – There was a time not too long ago when all I was looking for as displays for my computers was large screens, and I mean as large as I could afford or get my hands on. For me, that was the “in” thing for that time for my photo and video editing and

REVIEW – When I began creating regular Gadgeteer Video Podcasts on my YouTube channel, I only used my iPhone 13 Pro Max for capturing the video and audio. From the first episode, I was disappointed in the crappy audio captured from my iPhone and started looking into using a separate microphone. Audio improved with a
