The Dell XPS 2-in-1, a hybrid offshoot from the XPS line, returns with a new design and the latest specs. Does it live up to the XPS name?

LG's gram series stands as one of the lightest laptops available. The 14-inch LG gram 14 returns again this year, featuring the new 10th gen processors.

5G compatibility was something only flagship phones had — now mid-range joins them. The Huawei nova 7 SE offers a cheaper alternative for 5G.

After searching through over 300 applicants, 16 promising startups were selected for the Expara VirTech Global Accelerator programme to be groomed and invested in.

Desire for the latest technology has proven to be something of a frustrating aspect for tech enthusiasts, especially in recent times. Every year, phone manufacturers release their flagship phones to the market; each update generally only bringing minor changes or tweaks (such as a slightly bigger battery or screen).  Phones are now on their 11th iteration though, and these changes are now more clearly defined compared to the phones of yesteryears. The Samsung S20 Ultra 5G is one such example, even going as far as to say that the leap is another 10 generations ahead in its namesake. But is…

Simple, fuss-free, almost boring even — but that is exactly what you would describe the Lenovo Thinkbook 14. It doesn’t have any particularly fancy features or design aspects, it simply is as regular a laptop can be. Suffice to say, the Thinkbook 14 is aimed towards business professionals, with the entire package seemingly crafted for the average worker. It begins with its design; the bare metal aluminium finish combed with the unassuming Thinkbook logo on the case makes for a discreet laptop that you could bring around without drawing attention. The casing itself is sturdy, with not much flex when…

Smart devices are quickly becoming popular within our society, with many people utilising gadgets like smartwatches and smart speakers in their daily routine. Smart displays are something more of an emerging trend, but Google is keen to make it part of the norm in the household with their Google Nest Hub. If you are not familiar with smart displays, it is an all-in-one control panel for your home. If your home is fully kitted with smart devices, you can essentially control your entire house with this individual device — from your speakers to even your lights. For something that has…

In Nikon’s current slate of mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Z 50 is the best one thus far. This is not a slight towards the quality of their other mirrorless cameras, especially as a proud owner of a Z 6 myself. But for its price and feature set, the Z 50 is the perfect camera for budding photographers.   Upon receiving the Nikon Z 50, one thing was made apparent; this camera is tiny. I’ve previously mentioned how the Z 7 had a smaller body compared to DSLRs — the Z 50 is even smaller. It is essentially a further shrunken-down version…

The smartwatch industry is at its peak right now, with health and fitness being a particularly important aspect for many people around the world to keep track of currently. Among the vast options available is the new Huawei Watch GT 2, the update to last year’s Watch GT. Right now, there are two sizes available for the Watch GT 2; A 46mm model, and a 42mm one, which is the one that has been tested. The 42mm itself has two variations, the regular Sports Edition and an Elegant Edition that will be released later. Though it seemingly has the word…

As always with Apple, they seem to somehow make new technology become the norm. They did it with the iPhone, and they’ve recently done it with the Airpods; making true wireless earbuds part of people’s lifestyles. Since then, many companies have taken a crack at making their own wireless earbuds including Huawei, whose latest product is the Freebuds 3. The Freebuds 3 aren’t any regular wireless earbuds though, it is an active noise cancellation capable one that comes with an open fit design. That means that it does not come with ear tips and sits on your ear instead of…
