Hardware Reviews

When it comes to phone reviews and GamesReviews, you know we focus on these devices as things for the common person, those wanting to play games, listen to some music, and watch some videos. We look at these not from a technical standpoint, but rather a useability stand point. It’s why, I believe, our phone reviews over the past few years have been so successful. This phone is definitely not for the common person, we need to state that off…

Over the past few weeks, I have been playing around with the Google Pixel 8, and so far I’ve been really impressed with the device. Although a bit more expensive than last generation Pixel 7, the various updates and upgrades to the device justify the slight price increase. Although I still feel that Google seems to be feeling out where they belong in the mobile phone space, I continue to enjoy what they are bringing to the table. As with…

I just received the Nacon Rig 600 Pro HX wireless Over-the-Ear gaming headset, and it has not disappointed me. Right from coming out of the box, I had already felt how lightweight the headset is and knew it was going to be perfect for long periods of use. Unboxing the headset, you receive it where you can adjust the size that would fit perfectly on your head. Just snap the ear buds into the correct slot: you have three options…

A few months ago, we had the pleasure of reviewing the Google Pixel Tablet. While many – including ourselves to some extent – hammered the product for not being the most powerful device on the market, I’ve found myself using this tablet more and more around the house. I’ve since purchased another one. The cat is probably out of the bag on what I think of this tablet at this point, but let’s recap how I’ve been using it! After…

Back in November of 2021, we took the Roomba j7+ for a spin, and loved how well it worked in our home. You can read that review here which we recommend as many of the vacuuming features of the Roomba j7+ Combo haven’t changed. For all things about the application, smart detection, and overall vacuuming quality, please refer to that review. We also reviewed the iRobot Bravva Jet M6 robotic mop as well, and while we were not as impressed,…

My wife and I have been loving Google products for the last half decade, and have owned most Google home products that were released. We’ve looked at and still love our Google Nest Hub Max, our Google Home devices (wince discontinued), wifi setup and more. Google has had tablets in the past, and most have failed in comparison to the giant of the industry, the Apple iPad. With the brand new Pixel Tablet, Google is actually tackling tablet use in…

The a-series of the Pixel phone line-up has finally landed around the world, and those who enjoy many premium Google phone features at a discounted price are going to be very excited. This year, Google has opted for even less disparity between the Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7a, and with only (MSRP) $200.00 separating the two at retail in Canada, I wondered which provided the better value. Let’s dive into the Pixel 7a and see how it…

I don't know how they do it, but ROCCAT continues to push the envelope when it comes to PC accessories. Over the past few years, they have had a knack for building quality peripherals that hone their features through each iteration. The ROCCAT Kone XP Air is no exception - bringing the best features from the Kone and Kone Pro's while improving their weaknesses. Let's take a look!

Neat, a brand founded by the minds behind the Blue microphones, keeps looking to push the envelope when it comes to microphone technology. To this end, Neat has released the King Bee II, a microphone that is designed for everything from vocal recording, podcasting, streaming, and gaming alike. While this may sound quite impressive, some may begin to wonder if it becomes a simple case of trying to do too many things and not successfully doing any of them. Can the King Bee II manage a flexible profile or will it be indistinguishable from its predecessors? Let's ...

For the past month, I have had the opportunity to use the Braava jet m6 robotic mop in collaboration with my Roomba j7+ robot vacuum. I have raved about how much I’ve loved using the Roomba, but have always been skeptical of the Braava line of products. A robotic mob? Have we taken things just a bit too far? Let us dive in to the review, and see whether this is a match made in heaven, or something to avoid.…
