REVIEW – Last month I reviewed several of Anker’s recently released PowerPort Atom compact wall/travel fast-chargers.

REVIEW – Living in Michigan, one item you must own in the fall and winter is a warm pair of gloves. And with virtually every device from phones to in-car displays having a touchscreen these days, touchscreen gloves are even better. I’ve tried several pairs of touchscreen gloves over the years, and they usually fall

REVIEW – I’m on a quest to find the most lightweight set of components that can turn my phone into a “computer” when needed. That means I need a Bluetooth keyboard, a Bluetooth Mouse, and maybe even a way to connect to an external monitor. But for today, let’s focus on the keyboard, a Foldable

REVIEW – The proliferation of wirelessly-charged devices has led to a growing market for devices to wirelessly charge them. We currently have four Qi-enabled devices in our home, and I expect that number to continue to grow in the years to come, so I’d been on the lookout for a charging pad that can charge

REVIEW – It’s that time of year where we risk life and limb to decorate for the holidays. For many of us, that involves lights and the requisite swearing that comes from burned-out strings.

REVIEW – As an audiophile, I have always invested heavily in clean and capable power distribution for my audio system. These types of devices offer great isolation and clean power for each outlet and well as great protection against surges.

REVIEW – Aukey recently updated its Minima 27 watt wall charger charger. It was a quiet change – in fact, their web site still shows this as a 27 watt product, so perhaps the change was too quiet. Regardless, the new incarnation – which looks exactly like the old – is out and about. How

REVIEW – “When it rains, it pours” is not always a bad thing. I signed up to review a single Aukey Power Delivery solution, and was surprised when they sent me a box with 5 products from their PD lineup. Challenge accepted – let’s open the umbrella and start at the small end: the Expedition

REVIEW – I realize that I’m in the fringe group of people that is constantly on the hunt for a new iPhone case. It’s not that there’s something wrong with cases that I have (well, maybe a little), but more that I appreciate the detail and care that goes into their creation as I used
