I’m currently out in Belfast for Acer’s Live Blog event where I’ve had the opportunity to check out some of their newest products, notably the gaming range of “Predator” PCs, laptops and tablet. Now I wouldn’t call myself a hardcore gamer, but the one product that caught my eye is the Acer Predator G1 — a much more compact…
If you’ve never heard of Hyperloop, it’s a high-speed transport system that could carry people across vast distances in a fraction of the time it currently takes. To give you an idea of how fast we’re talking, Hyperloop would in theory get you from San Francisco to Los Angeles in around 30 minutes — a journey that typically…
For the last two years Acer has taken a group of bloggers for weekend trips where we get to explore a new city, complete fun challenges and play with Acer’s newest technology. Last year we headed to Dublin in Ireland to try out some Gaelic sports (that was a lot of fun!) and the year…
The Good: KitSound MyJack has a small & compact size, is affordably priced and performs well. The Bad: Microphone could have better range — it isn’t great at picking up your voice unless you’re talking in its direction. The Bottom Line: If you’re stuck on CDs and cabled connections, invest in a MyJack to turn your car stereo…
I’ve always been annoyed at the difficulty involved in getting insured on someone else’s car here in the UK. You either have to plough through long online forms, or spend time listening to terrible music while you wait for a call centre agent. It’s so impractical and time wasting.

A very distinctive eco-friendly design At first glance, House of Marley’s Liberate XLBT headphones (selling for under £140 on Amazon now) share many of the design characteristics you see on the older, wired Liberate headphones Mark reviewed back in 2014. You’ve got that signature eco-friendly design with FSC certified wood panels on the outside of the…
If you love taking photos and videos with your iPhone but want a more comfortable, DSLR-like feel to the experience, miggo’s Pictar camera grip is going to grab your attention. Currently undergoing a Kickstarter campaign that has reached half of its goal with 35 days still to go, this $90 gadget has been built to…
While most drivers I know settle for the default GPS apps pre-installed on their phones like Google Maps or Apple Maps, I prefer to use an app called Waze to help me get around. Owned by Google (but kept separate from Google Maps), Waze has more of a social focus on navigation, whereas Google Maps works…
One of the things I love seeing on a tablet is front-facing speakers. On a phone it isn’t such a big deal for me, but on a tablet where I’ll regularly watch videos, play games and generally use the device for entertainment, having a good audio system is something I value a lot. From the looks…
One of the most under-appreciated devices you can own is a battery pack. Think about it. When you’re reaching that dreaded red zone and you’re still nowhere near home, battery packs save your ass from walking around with a dead phone. To some of you, that means no way to navigate, message loved ones or even worse:…
