CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – For many years I have been searching for the best backpack that meets my needs so that I can use it for EDC. The backpack needs to be waterproof, hold a lot of my tech gear including a laptop, tablet, mini keyboard, cables, power adapters, a portable power pack, and a small […]

REVIEW – Last January I reviewed the Flexispot Comhar standing desk and I really liked it, but my son decided he needed it, so I gave it to him. It was just as well. That desk was hard to keep clean and I am a bit of a slob, so it wasn’t a great choice

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

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
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

The legions of gadget-faithful rely on power to keep the geeky goodness up and running, and in the event of a power outage, these power stations can provide those much-needed electrons for the nerd accouterments. VATID jumped into the market with

REVIEW – Sunday, February 13, 2022. Does that date have any meaning for you? Are you ready for some football? Yes! It’s Superbowl LVI! Thinking forward to February, the Asakuki Avigator 455W video projector is ready for larger-than-life video goodness! What is it? The Asakuki Avigator 455W video projector is a native 1080P video projector
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

REVIEW UPDATES – Here at The Gadgeteer we review hundreds of gadgets and products every year. The majority of these items we shelve or give away not long after the review has been posted. There’s a limit to the number of phone cases, smartwatches, and chargers that one person needs. But what about all of
REVIEW – I’ve been watching the CampStove products from BioLite since they were first introduced in 2012. I was enamored by the concept of charging a device using only wood fuel. When an opportunity to test the latest BioLite CampStove Complete Cook Kit came along, I was absolutely delighted to try it out. What is

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

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.

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. RGB lighting has also become a standard feature on a lot of computer accessories
REVIEW – Now that everyone has a high-quality smartphone camera in their pocket all the time, we’re faced with the question: What do we do with all these photos? Sure you can text or post them. But there’s something special and unique about having a physical photo. That’s where the Cannon Ivy Cliq+ 2 comes

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

REVIEW – If you’ve ever wanted to customize your crafts or belongings with artwork or even just your initials, you might have looked into buying an engraver. Today I want to show you the Dewallie Mini Portable Laser Engraving Machine that is portable enough to carry in your backpack. What is it? The Dewallie Mini

REVIEW – What was I thinking? I’ve never skateboarded, surfed, or done gymnastics a day in my life. But here I am, learning how to improve my balance with the Skill Board Balance Trainer. I may be nuts. We’re facing our fears with this review, my friends. To the review! What is it? The Skill

REVIEW – If you’ve ever eaten at a high-end steakhouse, one of the things they regularly tout is dry-aged beef. Dry-aging is a process to improve the quality of beef. It takes a long time and a serious space commitment in a refrigerator, and therefore, costs more. That’s why you typically only see it at

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
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
