I wasn't sure the Creality Sermoon P1 Scanner would handle shiny objects – then this happened

The Creality Sermoon P1 is an easy-to-use, portable scanner capable of delivering highly accurate results (the majority of the time). I experienced some issues with a shiny, curved object, but after some trial and error, I was able to generate usable, predictable results. For a standalone scanner with built-in processing smarts, it really is quite impressive what it can achieve without a PC.

Boblov W4 review – Gorgeous design let down by this one thing

The design and build quality of the Boblov W4 are excellent, and for the price, you won't find anything that's built better. Video quality is reasonable when lighting conditions are ideal, but as soon as you get into low light, serious grain and blotchiness appear in the output. That said, it boasts a 4K resolution, and there's good clarity across the entire image.

UGREEN NASync DH2300 review: the perfect first NAS for photographers

The UGREEN NASync DH2300 is a superb budget-friendly NAS for backing up photos and videos. Setup is a breeze, which means even the least tech-savvy users can use the DH2300 as an alternative to expensive cloud storage solutions. However, the lack of support for M.2 NVMe drives, Docker, and virtual machines means power users should look elsewhere.

I tried the Looki L1 AI camera – and I might just have signed my brain away

One of the biggest concerns about AI is how lazy it appears to be making us. If my children don’t know an answer to a question, then they tell me to “search it up”. They’re mortified if I ask them to find the answer in a book or wait till they can next speak to their teacher.I get the temptation. Why bother waiting or putting in the hard work when you can summon ChatGPT or Alexa to give you an AI-powered answer?Smart speakers, chatbots and AI are affecting the way our brains interact with the wo...

I took my character animation to a whole new level with the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI

The Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI boasts a cutting-edge RTX 5070 Ti and a stunning 16-inch OLED display within a sub-20mm chassis, making it an ideal hybrid for creatives and gamers. The cost of portability and power means there's some unwanted fan noise and a modest battery life, but if you're happy accommodating those limitations, then you won't be disappointed by the performance.

Ballistics features? Night vision? Kill switch? I spent 8 weeks with Garmin's 'ultimate tactical watch', and it's awesome — but probably overkill for most people

The Garmin Tactix 8 is a professional-grade powerhouse that justifies its price tag by offering the most sophisticated tactical toolset currently available in a wearable. That includes Applied Ballistics, night vision compatibility, and a dedicated rucking profile. The titanium case with a Cerakote finish option delivers the necessary durability in even the harshest of environments. While the 51mm model I tested is undeniably bulky, its exceptional battery life and pinpoint GPS accuracy make it...

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.
