REVIEW – I’m fully vested in the Apple ecosystem owning an Apple Watch, iPhone 14 Pro Max, MacBook Air, and iPad Air. And, of course, they all require charging.

REVIEW – For the last 10 years, my goto carry-on bag was a free overnighter that I got from work. It’s about as cheap as luggage can be and still function. When the opportunity to review the Roam medium duffel came up, the timing was perfect – a busy summer travel season and a current

REVIEW – As I prepare to cover this year’s New York Comic Con, as I do every year for The Gadgeteer, I’m making a concerted effort to up my presentation game. Last year, my trusty cameraman and I added the Zhiyun Crane M2S Camera Stabilizer to our kit, which I reviewed in June 2022, and
