I’ve reviewed over 50 apps this year and these are my top five

It’s been a busy 2025 in the world of tech, but one of my favorite things to do is keep up to date with the latest and greatest apps. In total, I’ve downloaded and tested more than 50 different apps, ranging from productivity to cooking and fitness to games.I’ve found apps that clear your inbox of junk email, educate you on art from around the world, and relieve you of the stress that so easily builds up. Technology has a unique place in our lives and is capable of a lot of good, but there are a...

I used the Acer Swift Edge 14 AI for a month and I think Acer might have just redefined portability

The Acer Swift Edge 14 AI is a great-looking, hyper-portable laptop that remarkably weighs in at under 1kg. That's less than the MacBook Air, making it the hybrid worker's dream. The lightweight design ethos might not have affected the impressive 3K OLED display, but the general hardware under the hood is a little limited, especially given the premium price.

Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X headphones review: studio winners that are far from sterile

The Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X are a high-end set of studio headphones that deliver an accurate and predictable sound. As a result, I have no reservations recommending them to anyone who needs confidence when monitoring or mixing audio. They're not the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, but I can't fault their audio abilities.

This is the only smartwatch with sonar communication, and it's great – but you can't get it in the US

The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 is a luxury watch in every way. After testing the Watch GT5 Pro, I knew Huawei could do premium, but now Huawei has taken that level of quality and supercharged it. A liquid metal case is as rugged as it comes, and the 1.5-inch AMOLED sapphire glass display is impressively bright and super tough. It’s just a shame all of this results in a form factor that some will find too large. But the positives – sonar communication, onboard GPS, and a solid battery life – further...

"A fantastic spec for the price": Why this affordable courier e-bike is one of the best I've ridden this year

The Quella Imperial Electric Courier is almost everything you could want in a modern e-bike. It looks absolutely fantastic, is nice and lightweight, and has a useful regenerative braking feature. It’s only let down by the limited battery range, which means you’ll need your charger close at hand most of the time. That said, if I were buying an e-bike right now, with no budget constraints, I would go for the Imperial every day of the week.

Performance-hungry creatives need look no further than the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI has been a delight to test. With the latest in CPU and GPU technology, this is a laptop that is built for even the most demanding of creative workflows. Unfortunately, all of this power needs a beefier battery than has been supplied, and it means the laptop will only last around three hours before needing a recharge. Beyond performance considerations, this is a well-built laptop that is a joy to use.

RØDE NTH-100 headphones review: Outstanding headphones that lack one crucial feature

The NTH-100 headphones are RØDE's attempt to reach a broader consumer market. I can't deny that they deliver excellent sound performance for monitoring as well as casual listening, but the wired design means I would never pick them if I only cared about the latter. RØDE is known for its outstanding audio products for professional users, and I think that's who these headphones suit the best.

We put Revopoint's latest MetroX 3D scanner to the test

The MetroX scanner from Revopoint is a well-built and full-field structured light 3D scanner offering a fully featured blue laser line. These types of laser scanning modes deliver accurate results, although more reflective objects will still require scanning spray. I loved the automated turntable due to the easy workflow and the guaranteed accurate results that you get.
