Flashfish A301 portable power station review – “We may be small, but we are mighty.”

Flashfish A301 17

REVIEW – It’s weird reviewing a small portable power station right after testing a monster power generator—the Generark HomePower 2 power station. But if you’re serious about being able to weather storms (pun intended), then smaller generators can be as useful as their larger, more powerful cousins. Sometimes, you just need something you can easily […]

FaAmour iPad Stylus review – Looks like an Apple Pencil but without the price of an Apple Pencil

meko stylus 10

REVIEW – If you own an iPad, chances are that you also own or wish you owned an Apple Pencil. A stylus is a great accessory for an iPad especially if you enjoy creating art or writing on your tablet. The only problem is that the Apple Pencil has a $129 price tag. OUCH! Is

artiphon instrument1 31

REVIEW – When I was very young, I discovered the music books that my mom had used when she took piano lessons as a child. I used those books along with very minimal help to teach myself to play a few songs on the Baldwin piano that we had in our living room. I later

Epson Workforce Pro WF-7310 printer review – A very capable wireless-wide format printer

EWFP 01

REVIEW – Sometimes it seems like printing has gone the way of the CD for software installation. However, depending on your line of work or need to print, physically sign and mail documents for antiquated processes still used in real estate and other industries, having a dependable printer can be anything from a life saver

Satechi USB-C Hybrid Multiport Adapter review – adds SSD storage to your USB hub

satechi hybrid 11

REVIEW – If you’re anything like me, you always want/need more storage on your device. Certain fruit-themed brands charge a massive premium for larger storage options so many of us end up with very limited hard drives on our computers or tablets. Satechi has previously helped with that gap by providing external USB-C SSD (solid

Remi custom night guard home kit review – end the daily grind

remi biteguard 14

REVIEW – The daily grind.  For most, that means going to work. For some, however, that means the nightly activity of grinding teeth.  Grinding can cause serious issues and even tooth loss.  Dentists will make bite guards for you, at a cost, and if you don’t have good dental insurance, that cost can be high.

Vissles LP85 with Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE mouse

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Mechanical keyboards have been around in computer systems for many years, varying in style based on switch types, keycaps, key travel, clickiness, sound, height, etc. Many options are available from pre-made keyboards to kits you can build yourself.

July Carry-On Pro review – a roll aboard suitcase, laptop sleeve, and charging combo

july carryonpro 16

REVIEW – Carry-on suitcases are a dime a dozen.  Everybody makes one.  They all do pretty much the same thing – hold your junk and fit in the overhead bin on an aircraft.  Why should we care about any new ones that come on the market?  To be noticed in the fray, it would need

Generark HomePower 2 Backup Battery Power Station and SolarPower 2 review – an impeccably dressed monster

Generark HomePower 2 8

REVIEW – In late 2020, I reviewed the Generark HomePower One, a beast of a portable solar generator at 1000 watt-hours strong. I also chided Generark, because the HomePower One is a clone of the Japanese version of the Jackery Explorer 1000. That’s not a slight, because, with its fold-down handle, the Japanese Jackery is

Brydge MAX+ iPad Pro 12.9″ keyboard case review

brydge maxplus 1

REVIEW – Tell me this doesn’t look like the long rumored/envisioned/just announced 14” MacBook Pro. The designers at Brydge have done it again…getting ever closer to transforming your overpowered iPad Pro into a touchscreen MacBook Pro. For years now, Brydge has been creating Bluetooth keyboard cases that add greater functionality to Apple’s flagship tablets. For
