MAGEASY Facet Case and EasyPaper Pro review – A slim folding folio and paper-feel experience for 2024 iPad Air and iPad Pro

MFFC 01

REVIEW – A good case keeps your iPad safe in transit and can improve ergonomics and efficiency in use. MAGEASY’s new Facet Folding Folio Case ticks both boxes and their EasyPaper Pro also pulls double duty by protecting your screen and providing a paper like feel when using your Apple Pencil. I was able to

XPPen ACK08 Smart Keyboard review – It will elevate the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad experience

XPPen Smart Keyboard 4

REVIEW – More than half of my gadget reviews have been written on my iPad using an external keyboardβ€”usually the Brydge Pro+ iPad Pro Keyboard that I still useβ€”and like. Recently, I reviewed the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad (think Android-based iPad mated with a portable drawing display) and appreciated XPPen’s first effort. It’s a nice

Withings BPM Connect review – a smart blood pressure monitor at a nice price

withings bpm connect 6

REVIEW – They say that high blood pressure is a silent killer because there are no obvious symptoms when you have this condition. For many of us, the only time we have our blood pressure measured is during our annual physicals at our doctor’s office – and many of us don’t even do that. The

NITECORE EDC27 UHi Flashlight review – Flat out lumen power

NITECORE EDC27 4

REVIEW – The NITECORE EDC27 UHi flashlight is an easy to carry and handle, flat design flashlight that can run from blindingly bright to inconspicuously dim. It has one of the best, meaning most obnoxious, strobe functions I’ve seen and it may well work as a mild defense. The light is comfortable in the hand,

Gravastar Mercury K1 Pro 12 scaled e1724726551782

REVIEW – My experience for mechanical keyboards is relatively new as I’ve just started using them in the last year, so when Gravastar offered the Mercury K1 Pro I had to give it a whirl. Gravastar has a record of futuristic looking gaming mice with some very incredible and unique designs. They’ve taken that stance

boulies ep460 16

Β  REVIEW – I get paid to sit on my butt all day and use my brain. Having a comfortable place to park my carcass from 8 am to 5 pm is a must-have necessity. The Boulies EP460 Office Chair fills that requirement and more. From the almost infinite adjustability to the airiness of the

ACOPOWER LiONCooler Pro Portable Solar Fridge Freezer review

AcoPower Cooler 2

REVIEW – Keeping food from spoiling has been the bane of human existence since the cavemen. Smoking and dehydration were the only ways to preserve anything for longer than a few days until the 1800’s when refrigeration was invented. This new fangled technology caught on quickly and allowed for meat and drinks to be stored

TCL 65QM851G 65” QM8 TV review – A lot of features equals a great TV

TCL QM8 3

REVIEW – I’m old enough to remember shopping for a β€œtube” TV. In the mid-1980s, I drooled over the huge 36-inch Sony Trinitron, but could never afford one at around $1000 ($2,700 today). Now, TVs are much larger, much better, and less expensive than anything in the recent past. We are all better off today

But if you are looking for an inexpensive portable speaker that has decent sound, can get wet, and doesn’t cost much, where do you look? Reviews like this one are a good start, but search around and read (or watch)
