Let's Talk Tech
NexDock Wireless Review!
I WAS WRONG! It feels good admitting that. I love laptop docks and portable monitors. Packing an extra screen helps us get a TON more use out of laptops, tablets, smartphones, and consoles. The NexDock is now my top pick for folks shopping an accessory like this.
Let’s take a look at WHY I like this so much! Continue reading “NexDock Wireless Proved Me WRONG About Wireless Desktop Modes!”
This is a great option I hope becomes a more popular trend…
MediaTek sent me the JBL Quantum True Wireless earbuds to take on a test drive, and I’m really glad they did.
We’re trying to do a lot with Bluetooth these days, and sometimes we’re forcing Bluetooth into situations it wasn’t really designed for. We’ve gotten pretty good at augmenting Bluetooth for better quality and latency, but at the end of the day, it’s still Bluetooth.
There’s a frustrating aspect to our current earbud market, where host devices and earbuds have to match to get all the benefits of a new audio codec. We have several flavors of audio signal now. If your phone, tablet, console, or PC don’t speak the same codec “language” as your headphones, then you don’t get all the fancy new features.
There is a way around that, and gamers have been using it for YEARS on wireless gaming headsets. Continue reading “JBL Quantum TWS: The BEST Wireless Earbuds for the Steam Deck!”
Unihertz Titan Slim Review!
One of the last phones left with a keyboard! Arriving at a respectably low price for a communicator phone, is a keyboard TOO old fashioned these days? How many people might be left who still want physical keys? Does it even work?
Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Unihertz Titan Slim: Is it TOO Old Fashioned?”
MSI sent over this beauty! The Z17 is a DRAGON of work laptop.
A Creator machine should feel different from other laptops. Even with similar hardware, it should look and feel different from a gaming laptop. Chatting about the use, who would be a good fit for a computer like this, and WHERE you might want to use it.
Does stylus support make sense for a laptop like this? Continue reading “MSI Z17 Creator Laptop: A WORK Laptop for Grownups!”
iQOO 11 First Impressions! LET’S GO!
This phone is a POWERHOUSE with a GREAT screen! iQOO delivers fantastic features, and we can use this phone to start testing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2!
2023 is looking to be a REALLY exciting year for high performance phones, and we’re getting an early start on all the fun! Continue reading “iQOO 11 First Look! Snapdragon 8 Gen 2! EARLY Performance Tests!”
UPerfect X14 Pro review!
I’m a huge fan of lapdocks and portable displays. The X14 Pro is a great example of a portable battery powered display, and it adds one HIGHLY requested feature. Folks asking for wireless connectivity, we can now connect phones and computers to this dock WITHOUT a cable.
What does that really look like though? Is it as functional as we’ve been hoping? What about the battery life?
Let’s take a look! Continue reading “UPerfect X14 Pro Wireless LapDock: Can we FINALLY cut the cable?”
iFi Gryphon review! This might be one of the best audio products I’ve ever reviewed. It’s certainly one of the most flexible DACs I’ve ever tested. Gryphon delivers fantastic performance cabled or over Bluetooth, has solid battery life, and a number of settings to tweak and customize.
I can’t praise this enough. Let’s chat! Continue reading “ifi Audio xDSD Gryphon Portable DAC Review: GOLD STANDARD”
I’m spending a little time with the Pixel Watch, and I will be getting a proper review out soon. One of the things slowing me down, I’m terrified to use this watch out and about. The design is pretty, but the curved glass along all sides isn’t inspiring a lot of confidence.
It’s a rule I have for reviewing phones. I can’t really get a handle on USING the phone unless I have a case for it. The Pixel Watch feels similar, so when Ringke opened up pre-orders, I jumped quick to snag a case for the watch. Continue reading “Ringke Pixel Watch Case Review: A little protection helps…”
