Dyson recently sent us their Airstrait to check out and test, one of their latest haircare products that debuted back in the spring of 2023. Since my hair isn’t exactly long and luscious, I had to get my wife to test out the Airstrait, which essentially is a blow dryer and hair straightener in one...

The folks at Plaud sent us the Plaud Note and Plaud NotePin for a quick hands-on review—and after testing both, we’re pretty impressed. These compact recorders are designed to capture meetings, interviews, and personal notes with crisp, clear audio, and they automatically transcribe everything for you. We recently used the Plaud NotePin during an AGM...

Logitech sent us the new MX Master 4 to test out, and it’s the latest update to one of the most popular premium mice around. We’ve been using the MX Master 3 for years (we never upgraded to the 3S), so we were curious to see how the new model feels day to day. Logitech...

With Asus and Microsoft's partnership, the ROG Xbox Ally X makes strides to streamline the way I play games from my own Xbox library.

A couple of weeks ago, our neighbourhood experienced something that almost never happens — a random daytime power outage. Around 2:30 p.m., a transformer blew just up the road, knocking out power for the entire street. The timing was almost uncanny. Anker had recently sent us its new Solix portable power stations to test, including...

Back in August, Google held its Made by Google Pixel 10 keynote. The company unveiled its Pixel 10 series of devices including the Pixel 10 Pro, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Also announced in the summer was the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a, joining the Pixel...

This has been one of the most anticipated Nest products for me—finally, a higher-resolution wired doorbell. Google sent me the new 3rd-gen Nest Doorbell to test, and here’s how it stacks up compared to the first-gen Nest Hello and the 2nd-gen. Installation was straightforward. Just make sure you’re drilling into something solid to mount the...

Earlier this year, we reviewed the Govee Backlight 3 Lite. Now, Govee is back with the Backlight 3 Pro, which was first announced at IFA 2025, and it's a clear upgrade when comparing both. Installation was super simple again—the strip sticks on easily around the back of the TV, and the app setup takes just...

I was sent the LiberNovo Omni chair for review (not paid or sponsored), and honestly, I was surprised at how comfortable it is. I’ve tried the Herman Miller Aeron and also owned the Embody, but this chair feels more comfortable and customizable. I currently use a Steelcase Leap (first gen), and the Omni tops that...
