REVIEW – If you own a computer, you’ve probably used a thumb drive, or more accurately, a flash drive. They’ve been around forever, but they are (in)famous for lacking in memory, expensive (for the larger capacity versions) and slooooow to transfer data. Recently, that’s all been changing as drives are getting larger and more affordable.

REVIEW – As a younger-ish adult being told you have a heart condition is pretty scary. I was diagnosed with tachycardia during a routine check-up. This means my heart randomly races for no apparent reason. I am also asymptomatic so I don’t even notice when it occurs. Monitoring my heart rate accurately became very important

REVIEW – Over the years, we here at The Gadgeteer have tested a bunch of flashlights, including several from Imalent. I’ve tested a few myself.

REVIEW – Most of you are probably familiar with “gaming chairs” or “racing chairs”, given their massive popularity in recent times. You can’t watch a streaming gamer without seeing an eye-catching chair at some point, but in my experience looks don’t always equal comfort. I’ve tried so many different office chairs over the years that

REVIEW – I have to admit that LifeProof has a pretty killer brand name as long as they can continue to keep making products that live up to the name and protect devices as well as they do. This time around we’re taking a look at their See case with MagSafe for iPhone 13 Pro.
REVIEW – Many years ago I had LASIK surgery and when I did, the doctors told me that at some time in years to come when I reached my 50s, I would need reading glasses. Well, I am over 50, and I have been using reading glasses for a few years. Like most people that

I loved their design and function but I also remember them being a bit hard and rigid and that they would hurt in places around my head after wearing them for a while. I also remember parting

REVIEW: At 11.4 ounces the Zeeker P10 is a hefty cell phone. It’s heavy duty. Emphasis on heavy. It has a 6000 mAh battery so it would be. It is also submersible. No, it takes underwater pictures. Continue conversations in the bath, anyone? Could the Zeeker P10 be your everyday smartphone with specs like this?
