Let's Talk Tech
SOC SHOWDOWN!
Let’s get nerdy with some silicon announcements! Qualcomm vs MediaTek vs Google! We have a better idea of what chips will be in our phones for the first half of 2023. What makes them different? How will we grade them for performance? Will it matter to consumers what chip is in their phones?
Let’s dig into the specs and take a look! Continue reading “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 9200 vs Tensor 2! What we know so far…”
Velotric Nomad 1 road test!
I’m getting up to speed on ebikes, but what’s the deal with these HUGE TIRES? The Nomad is a beefy fat tire bike with a POWERFUL motor. I’m test driving some Velotric ebikes, and I’m trying to lose some pandemic weight. After using their road bike (the Discover 1), I have a choice to make.
Would I keep the road bike, or would I use the fat tire bike? One seems better for traditional commuting, but the other seems more fun for off-roading.
Which bike would be the right fit for your needs? Which bike do you think would be more fun?
Let’s take this Nomad 1 for a spin! Continue reading “Velotric Nomad 1 Fat Tire E-Bike: Is it a Good Road Bike? (Part 2)”
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?

Surface Pro 9 is here!

Pixel Watch impressions!
Using the Pixel Watch for a couple weeks, I have more questions than answers.
Lots of criticisms point to the omissions and the first generation aspect, but what’s really important in a watch? I don’t think this is the watch for me, but there’s one feature which might be a deal maker for other folks.
Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Google Pixel Watch: What really matters in a wearable?”
My first impressions of the Picel 7 Pro are live on Mobile IQ! I’m not sure why this video was delayed, I shot it a week ago, but it’s ready to go now!
The new Google Pixel 7 Pro is here! We’re taking a first look at Google’s new phone, and sharing some EARLY impressions! What’s new? What’s better? What still needs more work? Here we go!
Velotric Discover 1 ebike road test!
How can we reduce the number of inefficient trips we take in a car?
I’m a big fan of moving to bikes and scooters for “short trip” commutes. I’m test driving some bikes from Velotric while also trying to lose a little pandemic weight. I’ve got a LOT of thoughts on the setup and the first couple rides.
Is an e-bike the right fit for your travel needs? Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Velotric Discover 1 E-Bike: Replacing my car for cheap!”
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”
