VectoTech V-Core Thunderbolt 5 Dock Review: A Thunderbolt 5 Dock with a Killer Storage Trick

Thunderbolt 5 docks are arriving in large numbers now, and most are variations on the same theme: lots of bandwidth, lots of ports, and a price that reflects both. The VectoTech V-Core Thunderbolt 5 Dock does one thing differently, and it’s the thing that makes it interesting. The dock has an M.2 NVMe slot, so the external drive you’d otherwise hang off a port lives inside the box instead. I’ve been running it as the center of my desk setup to see how much that actually changes.

CHERRY XTRFY K33 Keyboard Review: A Compact 75% Keyboard with Splash Resistance and a Twist

The CHERRY XTRFY K33 has a feature that instantly stands out in a crowded mechanical keyboard market. It is a compact 75% gaming keyboard with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. That alone makes it a little unusual. Add tri-mode wireless connectivity, RGB lighting, Mac and Windows support, and CHERRY’s so-called memchanical switches, and this keyboard starts to feel like a product with its own personality. I spent some time looking over the design, checking out the key layout, testing the lighting, and getting a sense of how the hybrid switches feel in everyday use.

Keychron B11 Pro Folding Travel Keyboard Review: A Travel Keyboard That is Actually Great to Type On!

The Keychron B11 Pro folding travel keyboard is one of those gadgets that sounds more practical than exciting. That is, until you need to respond to a long email on a tablet, take notes on the go, or pack light for a trip. Then it starts making a whole lot of sense. What makes this one interesting is that it doesn’t just fold for travel. It also opens into a genuinely roomy keyboard with a shape that feels far less cramped than most portable options. I’m a bit of a keyboard snob, so let’s check it out and see what…

Although USB Type-A is sticking around for backward compatibility, Type-C is clearly the way forward.

Once again, PNY rises to the challenge with the new PNY RP60 Portable SSD, available in capacities of 1 TB and 2 TB. In this review, we look at the 2 TB model.
