I am a big fan of working out at home. It’s pretty easy to build a decent home gym for yourself, even in a small space, but the one thing you really can’t do well in small spaces is boxing. I had pretty much given up on trying to incorporate regular cardio boxing into my routines, but then I got to test the Quiet Punch. And now I’m in love.
We tend to make home security quite technological and complicated. You can have Bluetooth door locks, HD cameras, door sensors, window sensors, and the ability to watch it all from anywhere in the world. Sometimes though, simple can be better. The Master Lock Folding Door Security Bar doesn’t connect to anything, but it will lock your house down just the way you want it! The Master Lock Folding Door Security Bar is simple but effective. It’s a shade under 2 pounds and can be telescoped out from 25.5″ up to about 43.5″. You can also fold it in half for…
Amazon has abruptly announced that they’re discontinuing their Halo fitness and sleep trackers. If you’re still using one, you’re good until July 31st, after which you should give your privacy-invading little friend a Viking funeral. Or, you know, send it to Amazon for proper recycling.
In this day and age, there’s no reason to lug anything heavy around when you can keep your laptop light yet powerful; Lenovo is providing a whole slate of options with their new Slim and Yoga devices!
Everyone needs a way to escape their everyday life sometimes, and what’s better than being able to fire up a computer game after a long day of work? Lenovo certainly thinks that’s the way to go, and they’ve got you covered with LOQ, their new entry-level gaming line, as well as their flagship Legion gaming PCs!
It seems like what we want and expect from our phones just keeps increasing. What started as just making phone calls on the go has rapidly evolved into a video game console, high-end camera, and even artificially intelligent digital assistants. Our phones need to work even harder to keep up with us, and Qualcomm‘s new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor is aiming to outrun the competition!
Sometimes the goal of new computers is to make things smaller, sleeker, and more portable. And sometimes, the goal is to make something that’s fully “blow your hair back” fast. Kind of like how some cars are commuter boxes, and some cars are Aston Martins. Lenovo was thinking along the same lines, hence why they’re rolling out new ThinkStation PX, P7, and P5 for intense computing needs that sport an attractive new chassis build co-designed with Aston Martin!
Qualcomm quietly powers so much of our lives, from the processors in your phone to the connectivity in your house. They never stop innovating, though, and they came prepared to show off at MWC! We’ve gone from SIM cards down to eSIM, but Qualcomm looked at that and thought, “needs to be smaller.” Enter the iSIM, which takes the eSIM to the next step by integrating the SIM directly into the processor. This may not sound like a big deal to the end user, but it will save significant space under the hood. That means more room for your phone…
Now that most areas are blanketed in 5G, companies like MediaTek are looking to the next big thing in connectivity-satellite. Satphones have existed for some time, but satellite to mobile has become a much bigger focus as of late. MediaTek has teamed up with British mobile phone manufacturer Bullitt to power several new rugged satellite-capable devices!
Realme has been a rapidly growing smartphone brand, and they’re looking to stand out with their new device, the realme GT3. The GT3 isn’t just a flagship smartphone; it’s a phone that has literally pushed charging to the limits!
The focus on foldables has mostly been on ones that expand out into tablet style, but OPPO is interested in tapping into our collective love of flip phones with the new Find N2 Flip!
Lenovo comes up with all sorts of exciting concepts to push tech forwards. They’ve nailed the 2-in-1 with their Yoga line, and they’re experimenting with all sorts of ways to add extra screens and eInk options to laptops. At MWC, Lenovo and its Motorola division are showing off what might be the holy grail — rollable screens — not just on a laptop but also on a smartphone!
We are pushing more and more power into our phones. The problem is more power equals more heat. OnePlus is thinking INSIDE the box for a solution here, or at least inside the desktop tower, by designing the OnePlus 11 Concept phone, which is cooled using the same principles that keep gaming PCs frosty.
MWC is bringing an onslaught of new and exciting phones, and Honor is aiming for everyone’s attention with their slate this year. They’ve got the Honor Magic5 Series which includes the Magic5 and Magic5 Pro, plus the new Honor Magic Vs, their first global foldable phone!
TCL has been on a mission to get mobile devices with amazing screens into everyone’s hands. They’re pushing that agenda to the next level with their MWC 2023 release slate of several new TCL 40 series phones as well as updated TCL NXTPAPER and Tab slates. On top of that, there are headphones to keep you connected and entertained on the go. Read on to check it all out!
It feels like wallets and supply chains are barely recovered from CES, but another wave of exciting announcements is headed our way from Mobile World Congress. Lenovo hasn’t skipped a beat; they are offering a slew of new ThinkPad and IdeaPad laptops to keep you connected for both work and play.
Some things are absolutes, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, or that no, Pepsi is never okay. And, of course, MediaTek is always going to be ready with the next big leap forward to make your smartphone experience even faster, which they are doing with the new Dimensity 7200!
Do you feel like you’re not tracked in enough places? Sure, you can share your location via Google Maps, Apple Find My <iDevice>, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc., and your smartwatch is far too eager to ask every time you trip if you’ve fallen and can’t get up. But what if you want or need a dedicated way for someone to track you? Arlo thinks their Arlo Safe stands out, but does it help or hurt?
I’m picky about my sneakers. I tore my left ACL several years ago, and the subsequent recovery means that my knee gets the final vote on a pair of shoes. If it’s not happy, I’m not happy. Luckily for my aesthetic tastes and my knee, the NOBULL TrainerPlus in neon blue ticks all the boxes!
Capnos has a simple concept with a big goal: to help people break their nicotine vaping habits. To accomplish this, they’ve deconstructed the vaping experience down to satisfying the basic behavioral habit of oral fixation. Using one of their battery-free devices, you can inhale flavored air without any of the health risks that come from vaping while satisfying that hard-to-break oral fixation hurdle. Read on to learn more about this and to see if it might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Once you get used to having more than one desktop monitor, using a laptop’s single screen can feel a bit like a punishment. When working remotely, bringing along a second (or third) monitor to use with your laptop might not seem practical, much less portable, but there is a solution. The Xebec Tri-Screen 2 makes it possible to have multiple displays in a super-compact form factor!
