Let's Talk Tech
EPIC smartphone throttle test!
If we want phones to start replacing laptops, they have to handle heavier workloads. I’ve gotten criticisms that my video rendering test is too short, so let’s REALLY drive some phones hard. What if we rendered a WHOLE MOVIE on a phone? Can our mobile gadgets hand with laptops? Will phones run too hot?
Only one way to know! We gotta do it!
They’re SO PRETTY!
But do they sound as good as they look?
Premium headphones should be graded against sound quality, but we can’t dismiss the “fashion” side of the equation with any kind of wearable technology. With that in mind, let’s chat about the Meze 99 Classics! Continue reading “Meze 99 Classics Review: Walnut and Silver – Premium Audio – So Pretty”
It’s one of the best phones of the year at any price. I’m not going to shock anyone by sharing my mostly positive experiences.
Still, we should chat about this phone, a CONFUSING year of product releases, and what people MIGHT want if they decide to shop upscale.
Does the 7T still hang against MUCH more expensive handsets?

Pixelbook Go first impressions!
More than just reading off specs, I have a serious question for viewers.
What DO we want for the future of mobile computing?
Lot’s of tech reviewers are quick to point out the flaws of less popular products. I refuse to believe that the future of tech is “whatever Samsung and Apple decide to make”.
With that idea in mind, are there any good ideas here that we hope will evolve? Continue reading “Google Pixelbook Go: The future of mobile computing?”
LG V50 vs G8X dual screen showdown! If you want more space for activities, LG’s solution of a second screen case might be just the trick. Here’s how the G8X improves on the first generation V50 case! FIGHT!

I’ve already gone on record proclaiming the V50 as my favorite phone of 2019. As a reviewer and editorialist, I don’t believe there can be “true objectivity” in a review. If you know more about me, how I use my gadgets, and the work I put them through, you will have a better understanding of my analysis. You can apply my experiences which overlap with your needs, and you can disregard the parts of my analysis which don’t apply to you. I made a video on this idea, which you can watch below.
I try to be as fair as I can. I try to examine a gadget based on the claims made by the manufacturer, not my preconceived idea of what the gadget SHOULD be. I try to figure out who the audience might be for EVERY gadget I review.
Every phone I’ve reviewed this year has gotten SOME kind of purchasing recommendation, but obviously some phones have been more broadly recommended than others.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at one of the most brutal comparisons in the premium tier of the Android ecosystem. This is a battle of polar opposites. Two substantially different takes on the idea of an expensive phone. And when the dust settles from this showdown, the songs we will sing of these mighty titans will echo through the halls of history.
Or, we’ll just totally nerd out on two flashy gadgets. Continue reading “SomeGadgetGuy’s TOTALLY Biased Pixel 4XL vs LG V50 ThinQ Comparison! Brains vs Brawn!”
A FLIP PHONE in 2019? This is my first experience with KaiOS, and it’s surprisingly capable. While we focus on premium expensive gadgets, there’s room at the entry level to sneak in. How much should it REALLY cost to cover the basics? Not a lot… Continue reading “Alcatel SmartFlip Flip Phone Review: KaiOS in the USA?”
Custom molded earbuds for NON professionals! People only seem to learn about custom molded earbuds as an option for professionals or when they’re getting fitted for a hearing aid. I really believe more consumers could benefit from custom audio hardware, so for part two of this review, we’re going to show my wife’s reaction to getting her ears scanned.
