The SwitchBot AI MindClip captures conversations, creates AI summaries, finds important details, and turns everyday conversations into searchable memories and tasks. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend a product launch. As we were gathering our equipment together, we had the standard list of things: camera and lenses, microphone, tripod, iPhone, and of course, a notepad and pen for taking notes. What concerned me was being able to capture all of the minute details about the new products without spending the entire event writing things down. There are a growing number of AI-powered note-taking devices designed specifically…
The IQUNIX EC75 combines Hall Effect switches, adjustable actuation, Rapid Trigger, and a compact 75% layout for gaming and everyday use. I consider myself somewhat of a keyboard enthusiast. Whenever we get the chance to review a keyboard, I jump at the chance just because I like experiencing different types of keyboards. I like the sounds, the feel of the key presses, and even really nice lighting effects. So, when I get the chance to try unique keyboards, I relish the opportunity. The IQUNIX EC75 keyboard is one of those opportunities. It’s primarily a competitive gaming keyboard, but its design…
A hands-on look at the UPLIFT Desk Sequence Shelves Bridge configuration, including assembly, build quality, acoustic panels, real-world storage, and value. I’ve been working from home for six years. We turned our third bedroom into my home office and while I love the space, getting it organized has been a constant battle. It hasn’t helped that I don’t feel like I’ve had an area to pull the room together. Well, now I do. It turns out the best thing I could have done was to add in an amazing set of shelves from UPLIFT Desk. About The Sequence Shelves UPLIFT…
The RISION Magic brings detailed thermal imaging to your smartphone in a compact, affordable package, although its software still needs some refinement. As a product tester, one of the biggest things I run into is people asking about how hot a device gets with standard use. Typically, I will use infrared thermometers to get temperature readings but I would much rather use a thermal imager so that the device can actually be seen and users can visualize where hot spots are. Some thermal imagers are too large to use conveniently, which is why I was excited about the RISION Magic…
The ViewSonic VG1457 puts two 14-inch WUXGA displays into a portable 2.6-pound package, giving mobile workers more screen space without carrying two separate monitors. Traveling and staying productive has become much easier in recent years, largely thanks to portable devices like tablets and laptops. The only issue I end up having is a lack of screen real estate when I’m on-the-go since I’m used to working on a 34-inch wide screen monitor. This is where ViewSonic’s dual-screen portable monitor comes in handy. About the ViewSonic VG1457 The ViewSonic VG1457 is a dual-screen portable monitor designed to give users additional screen…
The KUXIU D5 combines 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging, a TFT display, active cooling, and a retractable Apple Watch charger in a compact desktop charging station. As a user of multiple devices, I frequently check out different charging stations so that I can maximize my desk real estate. I like having a dedicated place to charge my devices without having a collection of cables and individual chargers taking up valuable space. When I came across the KUXIU D5 5-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, I was immediately interested because it takes a slightly different approach to the traditional multi-device charging station. About the…
The OBSBOT Meet Flip combines excellent 4K video, AI-powered features, a foldable privacy-focused design, and easy Mac compatibility in a compact webcam. I work remotely from home and use a webcam daily for video meetings. For a long time, I’ve been using a very trustworthy webcam, but have noticed that it’s quality isn’t what it could be. It’s not a 4K camera and doesn’t have easy to use AI-integrated tools so I started looking for something more modern for my work setup. That’s what led me to the Meet Flip from OBSBOT. About OBSBOT Meet Flip The OBSBOT Meet Flip…
The ROG Gjallar combines Dolby Atmos, a wireless subwoofer, HDMI 2.1, versatile connectivity, and a built-in microphone to create a premium all-in-one desktop audio system. For several years, I’ve neglected my workspace. It has been functional, and that’s been enough for me. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been making some effort to make it more of a space I enjoy instead of just one I have to sit at. One of the elements I updated was my audio setup. I have been using a lovely set of speakers for a while, but I decided I wanted an upgrade,…
The ASUS NUC 15 Pro delivers strong productivity performance and practical local AI capabilities in an incredibly compact package, but its Core 7 configuration has important limitations for demanding AI and graphics workloads. Over the past couple of years, AI has sort of taken the world by storm. It’s been fascinating to see the field grow, and using AI tools has without a doubt changed how I analyze data. In order to get the most out of using AI tools, though, you need a machine that can handle the processing power required by these increasingly demanding workloads. That raises an…
MacPaw’s CleanMyPhone uses AI-powered photo analysis to find duplicates, blurry images, screenshots, and other clutter while helping you reclaim valuable iPhone storage. They say the best camera is the one you have with you. Well, my best camera is my iPhone. Because I am consistently taking photos of products that we review as well as personal moments, there is a lot of digital clutter in my photo library. I’m always worried about losing important images so I never go through and delete anything. There are duplicate file apps available out there, but I don’t necessarily trust them to accurately identify…
The LitONES EaseGlowXP H04 combines task lighting, ambient illumination, and convenient wireless controls to create a versatile home-office lighting solution. I work from home. So that means my office is in a bedroom of my house. It’s not designed for productivity, but I think I’ve done a pretty good job of making it a working space instead of a sleeping space. The only thing my desk has been lacking is better lighting. I have a monitor lamp, but my desk lamp is substandard. The LitONES EaseGlowXP H04 is just what I’ve been looking for. About the LitONES EaseGlowXP H04 The…
Rainbow Weather combines minute-by-minute precipitation forecasts, severe weather alerts, radar, and a clean dashboard to make keeping track of changing weather easier. Years ago, some friends of mine got into a video game called Katamari Damacy. In this game, players control a tiny prince who rolls a ball around, collecting objects from the world around him. The main antagonist of the game is the King of All Cosmos. At the end of each level, he appears and transports the tiny prince to the next level via the Royal Rainbow. The reason I mention that is because the Royal Rainbow looks…
The Redragon Terraflare K762 Pro combines comfortable Mint Mambo switches, a full-size layout, three-mode connectivity, hot-swappable switches, and a useful TFT display in an affordable mechanical keyboard. I’m a big fan of full-size mechanical keyboards. There’s just something nostalgic about them because I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I’ve used so many different keyboards over the years that it’s hard to say which one is my favorite, but when I started using the Redragon Terraflare Pro, I knew I had found a keeper. About the Redragon Terraflare K762 Pro The Redragon Terraflare K762 Pro is a full-size wireless…
The SOUNDPEATS UU2 combine a comfortable open-ear design, strong bass, LDAC, Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint connectivity, and up to 42 hours of battery life in an affordable package. I recently just started a new workout regimen, and while I love my AirPods Pro, they tend to work their way out of my ears when I’m active. There’s nothing quite as distracting as having to stop in the middle of a workout to push an earbud back into place, especially when I’m trying to stay focused on what I’m doing. That got me looking at open-ear earbuds, particularly the clip-on style that…
Discover how the UPLIFT Standing Desk V3 4-Leg transformed a traditional home office with exceptional stability, premium craftsmanship, and ergonomic sit-stand functionality. For many people, a desk is simply a place to put a computer. As long as it holds a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, it gets the job done. That’s exactly how my fiancé’s mother’s husband (Ron) approached his home office for years. Like countless others, he used a traditional manufactured particleboard computer desk that provided a dedicated workspace but little else. It was functional, affordable, and met his needs for everyday productivity. Over time, however, those hours at…
As a project manager, you focus on delivering projects on time and within budget. But what happens when the unexpected hits? A sudden server outage, a key team member’s medical emergency, or a regional power failure can derail even the most carefully planned project. Real project leadership goes beyond Gantt charts and status reports; it means building resilience so both your project and your team can handle any challenge. Understanding Continuity Planning Project continuity planning isn’t just about getting ready for a major disaster. It’s about actively finding potential problems and setting up clear steps to keep essential work going.…
The UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W combines high-speed GaN charging, a built-in retractable USB-C cable, smart monitoring, and multi-device support into a premium travel-friendly charger. In the past few years, I’ve really enjoyed using high-powered, advanced power adapters. Many of them come with a display built-in that show you how much power output is occuring while you charge and I really like to monitor that activity. UGREEN has been one of my favorite charging device companies and now they are releasing the Nexode Pro 160W Charger…with a Retractable Cable! That is an accessory that makes the premium charger even more convenient.…
Explore how Fello AI combines today’s leading AI models into a single native app for macOS, iPhone, and iPad, offering seamless model switching, document analysis, image generation, and cross-device syncing. I have to admit that when AI first became the latest buzzword, I was hesitant to embrace it. It wasn’t that I had anything against the technology, but I was skeptical of the hype surrounding it. Once I started using ChatGPT regularly and learned how to craft effective prompts, my perspective changed. AI quickly became part of my daily workflow, helping with everything from brainstorming ideas to editing and research.…
The BODEGA T36 delivers dependable dual-zone cooling, quiet operation, app connectivity, and excellent portability, making it an ideal compressor refrigerator for road trips, camping, RVs, and everyday travel. Several years ago, we discovered just how useful a portable car refrigerator can be. While they’re an obvious fit for road trips and camping, we’ve found them just as valuable during hotel stays. Instead of hoping the room includes a mini fridge, you can always count on having a place to store drinks, snacks, medications, or other items that need to stay cold. The first portable refrigerator we reviewed even left puddles…
VaultSort uses local AI, duplicate detection, and hardware-backed encryption to help Mac users organize, protect, and manage their files. I can’t tell you how many times I click “Save” on a file and drop it into my Documents folder without a second thought. I think, “I’ll organize it later,” but later never comes. I remember years ago when Gmail popularized the idea that you didn’t need to meticulously file every email into folders. Instead, you could keep everything in one place and rely on search and smart organization to find what you needed. While I found some solace in the…
The Linkdaze Digital Calendar combines a bright 15.6-inch touchscreen, easy calendar syncing, and practical household management tools to create a shared family hub that keeps everyone organized. On any given day, I am juggling at least three calendars. One of those calendars is for work, and I manage multiple projects for my job. As you might imagine, it gets pretty chaotic. Even though I don’t have a large family, I can imagine that juggling all those commitments would be similar to what I experience as an Engagement Director. Fortunately, families can utilize devices like the 15.6” Linkdaze Smart Digital Calendar.…
The UGREEN Nexode Air 45W Charger Slim packs fast USB-C charging into an impressively thin design, making it an excellent companion for travelers, remote workers, and Apple users looking to reduce bulk without sacrificing performance. I’ve tested a lot of chargers over the years, and while most of them focus on delivering more power or adding more ports, the UGREEN Nexode Air 45W Charger Slim takes a different approach. Instead of trying to be the most powerful charger in your bag, it focuses on being one of the easiest chargers to carry. After using it for a couple of weeks…
A standing desk can change the way you work. In this case, it also transformed an office that had been decades in the making. My father will always be one of the most encouraging, creative people I know. He always encouraged me to explore and play when I was a kid. As I grew older, he became my first boss and helped me build confidence in my abilities no matter what I decided to do. One day, I sat behind one of our editing computers and just started learning the controls. The next week, he told me to work with…
