Posted on 13-May-2017 17:28 Reviews, Android, by M Freitas
Huawei is quickly becoming a household name in the smartphone market. Its Huawei P9 brought in innovations such as dual lenses, Leica partnership for the camera software and hardware while the Huawei Mate 9 brought super-fast processor, AI-based multi-tasking and power management. With the new Huawei P10 this goes even further.
Petcube Play review

Here's an idea: get a WiFi camera, add something we all know pets love to play with (laser!), overlay a social network for pets and a sleek design. You get Petcube Play.
datAshur Pro review
Posted on 4-Apr-2017 15:29 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
As far as data security goes, most USB flash drives are rated pretty-low. You see, security can only be strong when it's easy to use and people won't go through lots of procedures to get a half-good experience - even when data security is at risk. This is not the case with the datAshur Pro.

For the last month or so I had time to experience the HP Elite X3, a full blown Windows 10 Mobile experience.
HP Omen X review
Posted on 24-Jan-2017 17:09 Reviews, Computing
It's been a long time (since my move from desktop to laptops, a few years back) that I could enjoy a desktop with almost instant startup, no waiting for Office programs to run and (very important) playing games with all settings switched to HIGH.
Huawei Mate 9 review
Posted on 15-Dec-2016 07:14 Reviews, Consumer Electronics
For the last three weeks I have been using the Huawei Mate 9 full time. The verdict is easy: a great smartphone.

House automation was just taken to next level in New Zealand with the launch of Ring doorbell, an Internet-connected doorbell with some nifty features.
Garmin vivomove review
Posted on 21-Aug-2016 18:57 Reviews, Health, by M Freitas
The Garmin vivomove is a good looking activity tracker that resembles an analog watch. It is closer to a sport watch but the ability to swap wriststraps makes it easy to adapt to different social situations.
Meizu M3 Note review
Posted on 21-Aug-2016 17:06 Reviews, Android, by M Freitas
I have received a Meizu M3 Note smartphone from PB Tech for review and it's fair to say it's a very impressive device - for the middle-tier price range and superb service by PB Tech (more on this later) this is an excellent choice for our market.

Philips has released an updated Hue platform with a new Hue Bridge, the little smart box that connects up to 50 Hue lights and lamps to the bigger network out there.

Huawei is quickly becoming one of the largest smartphone presences in the markets and this year's blitz marketing campaign focusing on the new Huawei P9 is just evidence of how much the company is investing on this.
Sony Wireless Deep Bass SRSXB3 review
Posted on 29-May-2016 13:46 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
It is a common thing: you have a great set of playlists in your Spotify account and want to share this during a party or when meeting friends... But your smartphone is not a speaker and the sound doesn't make justice to the brilliance of your selection.

Earlier this year Fibit announced a couple of new additions to its line of fitness track. We look at the Fibit Blaze.
CleverLoop home security review
Posted on 28-Feb-2016 13:12 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
Having recently looked at a home automation system I thought it would be good to have a look at a pure video security system, and luckily the CleverLoop folks have a New Zealand presence. I had a chance to meet with their local representative and one of their developers who was visiting the country.
Dell XPS 13 review
Posted on 9-Feb-2016 11:35 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
I had the Dell XPS 13 Intel Core i5 for a couple of weeks - a mid-range laptop and yet with power to spare.
Navman MiVue 580 review
Posted on 4-Jan-2016 11:36 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
The Navman MiVue 580 is a high definition dashboard camera with good support for night time recording. It is no surprise that it also supports location timestamp, thanks to its built-in GPS powered by Navman technology.
Withings Activite trackers review
Posted on 28-Oct-2015 14:10 Reviews, Health, by M Freitas
The Withings Activite brand of activity trackers offers a balance between functionality and fashion. They are simple and disguise its function well. And to me that's the main appeal of these pieces. Are they watches with activity tracking or activity trackers that can tell the time?
Intel NUC NUC5i5RYH review
Posted on 21-Sep-2015 16:01 Reviews, Computing, by M Freitas
The Intel NUC platform has been around for a while and it's a favourite of mine when someone asks for a good HTPC platform (thinking as a consumer) or an all around desktop platform for business needs.
