What we love

If you aren’t sold on MagSafe wallets and prefer something more traditional, this one is certainly worth a look. It sports a trifold style and enough room for up to 7 cards. Integrated Apple Find My makes this one stand out, from many others, especially at this price point. One perk I really like here is the quick access slot on the outside where you can put stow your go-to card.

If you’ve got a Tesla, this is one of those accessories that I think is worth keeping inside of it at all times. The kit includes four jack lifting pads that Spigen touts as able to “guard your Tesla’s chassis and battery from damage during a jack or lift for safe roadside assistance.” Since these are magnetic, they all snap together and are easy to stown inside of the included case.

While a lot of precision screwdriver kits out there are often accompanied by a bulky case, this set differentiates itself with a design that crams everything into the driver itself. A feature that also sticks out is that the exterior can behave as a small ruler as well. I personally own a precision kit and have wound up using it for a more things around the house than I ever anticipated.

If you spend hours at a desk each day, ergonomics are important. For years I stared down at a laptop, and now my neck and shoulders pay the price. This has lead me to craft a setup where my display is up at eye level. While I still have the wear and tear from poor ergonomics in the past, you don’t have to wind up like me. This stand can help bring a MacBook or PC laptop up to eye level, and it boasts a flexible design that can even rotate a full 360 degrees.

T-5 Days/Switch 2

Nintendo Switch is nearly a decade old at this point, and honestly, I’m very impressed by just how good some games look and perform given the constraints of its dated hardware. That being said, frame drops and stuttering are apparent at times, and I’m wondering if Switch 2 could resolve these issues for existing games.

These days the Bluetooth speaker market can feel overcrowded.

Review: JBL PartyBox Stage 320 Speaker – a 36-pound monster that blew me away

Buy Now!

I’ve had the pleasure of using quite a few Bluetooth speakers over the years, with some of my recent favorites being the Marshall Kilburn II and Tribit StormBox Micro. So when JBL offered to let me review its new PartyBox 320, I was interested, but not necessarily ecstatic. That started to change once I began digging into the specifications and realized just how monstrous and powerful this speaker could wind up being. My suspicions were confirmed when this 36-pound monster arrived in the mail.

While unboxing the JBL PartyBox Stage 320, I couldn’t help but smile. Looking back, I think it’s because I knew that the size and heft meant that this thing was going to pack a punch. Seeing the actual speaker helped seal the deal too, with loads of easy-to-access controls, plenty of inputs around back, and wheels along the base paired with a handle up top that make it easier to roll it from one place to another. I couldn’t wait to start trying it out, so keep on reading to hear about my experience unboxing, pairing, and using this powerful speaker.

Tested: Linkind’s Matter smart light bulbs reliably work with Apple Home at a shockingly low price

I bought my first smart light bulb well over a decade ago now. Over time, I’ve tried countless brands of smart bulbs, smart plugs to control lamps, and have even swapped out light switches for smart ones. Now my home has a mixture of all those things, and I would have it no other way. I’ve generally leaned on Philips Hue for smart bulbs because they’re one of the most platform-agnostic solutions out there, but the arrival of Matter has changed the game.

Review: ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S Combo – an all-in-one robot vacuum system that actually does it all

With what feels like a never ending list of robotic vacuums on the market, it’s actually quite difficult to find something that fully automates the manual labor involved in cleaning floors. Face it, there aren’t very many physical day-to-day activities that robots can actually do for us (yet), but cleaning floors is an area where there is arguably the most hope, thanks to countless companies innovating year after year.

Having spent some time with the new ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S Combo, I am more convinced than ever that we’re headed in the right direction in this product category. ECOVACS really has thought of everything with this lineup, from a robot that can vacuum and mop, to the inclusion of a powerful handheld vacuum for one-off situations, it’s incredibly versatile and ready for just about anything. I’ve tested all sorts of settings on this vacuum, and down below I’ll detail unboxing, the setup experience, app features, and overall performance of the unit.
