Let's Talk Tech
EZQuest Triple Monitor Hub Review!
I love docks and hubs. We can clean up our cable mess, add more features, and we don’t have to break the bank. The EZQuest is certainly designed to match A SPECIFIC PC, but it plays nice with ANY computer!
Let’s take a look! Continue reading “EZQuest Ultimate Triple Monitor Hub for the Mac Mini: Add more ports to ANY computer!”
UPerfect X Pro revisited!
I reviewed this monitor almost exactly a year ago, but it’s worth taking a quick second look now! Now that the 4K version is a little less expensive than the original 1080p’s launch price, it changes the “bang for buck” conversation.
I’m sure folks in MY audience can think of more than a few different uses for a portable, battery powered, UHD touchscreen… Continue reading “UPerfect X Pro in 2022: The 4K Follow Up!”
NexPad Review!
The folks at Nex make some great portable displays and laptop docks. The new NexPad is a fun twist on that portable idea. Turn your phone into a tablet, add a screen to a portable console, or add a second monitor to a laptop.
We can do some AMAZING things with magnets these days… Continue reading “NexPad Portable Display: Turn Your Phone into a Tablet!”
Your phone is a powerful pocket computer.
With an accessory or two, it’s not difficult to turn a pocket computer into a PC or laptops replacement! Keyboard, trackpad, a HUGE battery, and an HD touchscreen, this dock has all the goods to give a Chromebook a run for its money! Continue reading “Turn your phone into a laptop! UPERFECT X Laptop Dock Review!”
It’s a bit of a bummer that our laptops are so thin now, they’re losing useful ports. USB-C and Thunderbolt will be the future, but we’re not there yet, and using multiple dongles and adapters is a pain. If your main computer is a thinner laptop, and you want a nice home work space, with the ability to charge your phone, this hub will be right up your alley.

Lenovo is building out a line of small form factor PC’s under the “THINK” branding. The hardware certainly has a business-grade focus, and can be paired with an excellent monitor dock. Is the M83 a good fit for personal use too? Let’s take a look!
We keep seeing the promise of this never completely fulfilled. Docking a phone into a tablet or a laptop shell. Running custom versions of Linux to reorganize the UI for a more PC like experience when plugged into a larger screen.
Kickstarter project Andromium thinks they have the solution for using your phone as the brain of a home computing environment. A simple cradle connects to PC peripherals, and custom software borrows the more successful elements of OSX and Windows for a familiar PC look.
With our phones becoming more and more powerful, the idea of a ubiquitous data experience doesn’t seem too far fetched, and the lead designer of this project was formerly a Senior Engineer at Google. The project already looks like it’ll be compatible with several Samsung phones, with more handsets to follow. Best of all the dock doesn’t look like it’ll be prohibitively expensive if the project is funded with an expected retail price of $39.95.
Trying to combine several desktop items, GGMM’s M-Show is a handy little BT speaker, which can also act as a desktop lamp, and an elevated tablet stand. Let’s see (and hear) how it performs!
