2017 Porsche Macan GTS takes on two peaks in one day

Cars, , , , , ,

It’s track time and Pikes Peak Hill Climb is no ordinary race track. Taking a corner too wide pretty much anywhere within the 14,114 climb along what’s a 12.42 mile course packed with 156 twists and turns has consequences beyond a couple of dents. Luckily, Porsche’s confidence in the new 2017 Macan GTS is off the chart. This is a super rare opportunity where automotive journalists were given the opportunity to drive up Pikes Peaks and then, on the very same day, keep on going right up Mount Evans.

At this high of an altitude both the Macan GTS’s horsepower as well as the human body starts to feel the affects. Luckily our convoy of SUVs blazed through the drive with flying colors – no mid-trip shortcuts off the edge of the mountain – and the mighty middle-child Macan’s performance proved stellar.

Chuwi Vi7 3G Phablet Review – 7″ Cheap Android 5.1 Device

Tablets, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Now a days companies are focusing equally on phablets manufacturing along with smartphones, tablets & PC. The demand of Phablets is increasing day by day in the market as people want to have fun & satisfaction of both smartphone and a PC in one device which is a phablet. Also, the price of phablets is almost equal to that of smartphones. So, why not to have more features for the same price. Today I am going to review a very cheap phablet device from one of the top brand Chuwi i.e Chuwi Vi7 3G Phablet which has Android 5.1 operating system giving you whole new android user interface. It has quad core 1 GHz processor which makes this device powerful along with 1 GB RAM & 8 GB ROM. These memory features also helps this device to respond fast, according to the input provided to it. The major advantage with this Chuwi 3G phablet is its price tag. It is available on Everbuying.net at just $58.27 only. I think this price is very low for a 3G phablet of a big brand Chuwi. Usually 7 inch phablets are available at a price above $70-80, but this device is a very cheap. It has OTG support too with which you can connect a pen drive directly to this phablet. Now, I am going to tell you all the features of this Chuwi phablet in full detail.

BEST HEADPHONES UNDER $50

Audio & Video, , , , , ,

They often say you get what you pay for. However, although premium offerings like Oppo’s PM-1 and Samsung’s Level-Over headphones offer excellent sound and comfort, they’re not always the easiest on your wallet. Thankfully, there’s a bevy of quality offerings from the likes of Panasonic and AudioFly for those of you looking for admirable sound, a suitable fit, and in-line controls, all on a shoestring budget.

They don’t rival the best of the best in terms of sound quality — again, these are the best headphones under $50 — but they will easily put the headphones that came with your smartphone to shame without the fear of loss, wash, or wear. Picking them up a second time is just as affordable, so consider yourself lucky should you have to.

OLYMPUS STYLUS TOUGH TG-870 REVIEW

Cameras, , , , , ,

Smartphones may be our go-to camera for everyday shots, but we wouldn’t take one below 50 feet underwater for selfies; step on it; or drop it onto rocks (OK, with some you might, but those phones are rare). That’s why there’s still demand for rugged point-and-shoot cameras, so called because they can endure the harsh environments and abuse. Whether it’s the outdoorsman who wants to grab snaps and videos while trekking in the wild, or vacationers who just want to toss a camera around a pool, there’s still a valid need for this type of compact camera, even if demand in the overall point-and-shoot sector is declining. Olympus continues to be a major player in this field with its Tough series, and its latest for edition for 2016 is the TG-870 ($280). The camera is a mild evolution from the TG-860 – a camera (now discontinued) we beat the heck out of, but didn’t leave a scratch – and retains the same ruggedness as its predecessor. In the right lighting conditions, the TG-870 is an able performer, but there are some drawbacks.

Mauron Musy Classic Steel Armure Watch Review

Cars, ,

Having seen the turbulent recent years of the watch industry, it sure takes some admirable self-confidence to start a watch brand from scratch. Arguably, one would need a solid starting idea, a unique selling point, coherent and powerful design DNA, a decent movement… all offered at a competitive price. In an effort to tick all of these boxes, the Mauron Musy Classic Steel Armure marks the first collection of this new company that was established by two engineers, Eric Mauron and Christophe Musy. Let’s see how this new piece of “Armor” fairs in battle.

Mauron Musy Classic Steel Armure Watch Review Wrist Time Reviews

The Beginnings – In A Nutshell

The two met in the late 1990s, when Eric was the managing director of Régis Mauron SA, a company that specialized in the machining of mechanical parts, and Christophe was serving an internship as a mechanic. It was more recently, in 2012, that they set out to create something new and that the Mauron Musy company in St. Aubin, Switzerland, was born. That “something new” was to be based on their extensive knowledge and experience in precision engineering – a prowess you can actually sense and feel when you pick the Armure up, but more on that a bit later.Mauron Musy Classic Steel Armure Watch Review Wrist Time Reviews …

PRO-JECT DEBUT CARBON ESPRIT SB

Audio & Video, ,

The turntable range from Pro-Ject now extends to 23 models, so it’s no wonder that when a new one comes along, it can wind up with a rather unwieldy name. The Debut Carbon Esprit SB is so-called because it is has a ‘Debut’ plinth and is top of that parituclar range, ‘Carbon’ becaue of the carbon fibre tonearm and ‘Esprit’ because that’s an old Pro-Ject appellation for acrylic platter models. Which leaves ‘SB’ and that stands for Speed Box, which is not a separate box but denotes electronic speed switching. So there is a logic to the nomenclature, albeit not one that extends to the name appearing on the turntable itself; in fact, there is no visible branding at all. In an effort not to fill the review by repeating this deck’s full title, I’ll call it Debut from now on.

Apple iPhone 7 vs iPhone 7 Plus vs iPhone 7 Pro: What’s the rumoured difference?

Phones, , , , , , ,

Apple is rumoured to be announcing three smartphones in September. Yes you did read that right, we said three.

They are going by the names iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro, although they have also been called iPhone 6SE, 6SE Plus and 6SE Pro, and they are said to be hitting shelves on 16 September.

Whether we will see all three actually arrive is anyone’s guess, but if they do, here is how they could compare, based on the speculation.

15 Cars That Hold Their Resale Value

15 Cars That Hold Their Resale Value

Cars, , , ,

Unlike a home, a car isn’t an investment and it will lose value every year. Of course, how much value your vehicles loses depends on the type of car you buy. Some brands and vehicle types retain their value better than others which means you can expect a higher resale value later when it’s time to trade it in or sell it. Non-luxury vehicles tend to retain value better than luxury vehicles for the obvious reason: most people who can afford luxury vehicles buy them new, not used.

In terms of non-luxury brands, Subaru vehicles hold their value better than others. Subaru has won many Best Resale Value Awards over the last decade including the 2015 Best Resale Value Award from Kelley Blue Book. If you do buy a luxury brand, Lexus is the best bet for retaining your resale value. Lexus tends to offer more features per dollar than other luxury brands and it’s been named the Best Luxury Brand for Resale by KBB five years running.

Planning to buy a new car in the near future? Here are 15 vehicles that will retain their resale value.

Speedo Shine 2 first look review : Misfit fine tunes its swimming credentials

Speedo Shine 2 first look review : Misfit fine tunes its swimming credentials

Wearables, , , , , , , , ,

Misfit has had the upper hand on Fitbit and Jawbone by opting to make its fitness trackers waterproof. After teaming up with Speedo for the original Speedo Shine, the partnership has been resurrected with the Speedo Shine 2 with one clear goal: to improve accuracy.

Speedo Shine 2 first look

Like its predecessor, the swim friendly wearable you can wear in multiple ways is closely modelled on the Shine 2, Misfit’s most expensive tracker. There’s the same aluminium finish on the disc shaped sensor and thin plastic strap. I’ve had bad experiences with Misfit straps in the past, and in just a single day it’s already managed to slip off my wrist. In the pool, it was no problem at all.

Why You Should Really Buy a Laptop With an SSD (Really!)

Why You Should Really Buy a Laptop With an SSD (Really!)

Computers & IT, , , , , , , , , , ,

You wouldn’t buy a brand-new car with a Ford Model T engine. So why would you merge onto the information superhighway with a laptop that uses an old-school mechanical hard drive? If you want a fast, responsive notebook ─ and why wouldn’t you ─ you have to get a solid-state drive (SSD).

When it comes to overall performance, a laptop’s storage drive is infinitely more important than other components, like its CPU, RAM and graphics chip. As you boot the computer, open applications and switch between tasks, your processor is tapping its fingers waiting for data to load from the disk. Even if you’re not opening files, transferring data or launching apps, your OS and software are using virtual memory (aka swap files) in the background.

Motorola Moto G4 vs Moto G4 Plus vs Moto G4 Play vs Moto G (2015): Which should you choose?

Phones, , , , , , , ,

The king of budget smartphones – the Moto G – has been updated, again. There isn’t just one model marking the fourth generation of the handset though, instead Lenovo-owned Motorola announced three – the Moto G4, Moto G4 Plus and the Moto G4 Play.

The Moto G has come a long way since it originally launched at the end of 2013 in terms of design, but each succeeding model has continued to offer excellent value for money. The question is, do the new Moto G4, Moto G4 Plus and MotoG4 Play also do this and what do they bring to the Moto G table?

We have put the new 2016 Moto G models up against the third generation ofMoto G from 2015 to see what the differences and similarities are between the four devices. Here’s how they compare in terms of numbers and our experience.

Hyundai Ioniq Electric review: Fully charged

Cars, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hyundai has opted to launch three different green driving solutions in one with the new Ioniq. The idea is simple: Hyundai offers one platform and you choose whether you want Hybrid, Electric or Plug-in Hybrid.

Options are few, making this a relatively straight-forward decision-making process. The idea is to create a car that’s accessible to as wide a range of people as possible.

Where the Hybrid squares up to a number of models – namely the Prius, but also Toyota’s wider selection of hybrids – the Ioniq Electric faces less competition. There are e-versions of established models across some car manufacturers – like the Volkswagen e-Golf – but cars designed to be electric from the get-go are rarer. Nissan dominates the UK’s roads with the Leaf, there’s the odd Renault Zoe sighting, while BMW has a healthy following with its i3 and Tesla is creeping in at the top-end.

So can Hyundai muscle in on the fledgling electric car segment with the Ioniq Electric, an electric car for the mainstream?

Noble Audio Trident review

Audio & Video, , ,

As far as we know these Noble earphones, although hand-assembled, aren’t crafted by the three Cyclopes that made Poseidon’s Trident.

So why the name? Perhaps the fact that each bud has three balanced armature drivers (updated, Noble says, from its previous three-driver design) is a reference to the three-pronged fork.

Or maybe they get their name from the military-style hard shell box they come in. Maybe the people at Noble simply thought it was a cool name.

Price

Whatever the reason, the Noble Trident earphones have plenty more than a name to catch your attention. For one, there’s the price.

WI-FI NOMIKU SOUS VIDE CIRCULATOR REVIEW

Wearables, , , , , , ,

The Wi-Fi Nomiku is sous vide done well … Or medium rare, however you like it

The first time we reviewed the Nomiku sous vide immersion circulator, we were impressed by its compact design. The new Wi-Fi Nomiku is a different kettle of cooked-by-temperature-control fish altogether. It’s bigger than its predecessor and adds connectivity and an app to help newbies get their sous vide on. But has do the new features improve upon the design or merely change it?

Taking it for a spin

If the original Nomiku looked a bit like a snorkel, the newer model is more like a periscope. The reason for the bulkier shape is because it no longer needs the power brick that came attached to the first circulator’s cord. The first Nomiku boasted UL certification, too; the Wi-Fi model is still waiting on that safety certification, which should happen in the next few months, according to the company.

Hands on: BlackBerry DTEK50 review

Phones, , , , , , , ,

The world’s most secure Android smartphone isn’t half bad.

The BlackBerry DTEK50 is a surprisingly promising smartphone with a more than reasonable price tag and a spec sheet to be proud of.

The BlackBerry DTEK50 is the world’s most secure Android smartphone – and that’s not a bad claim to fame. Concerns over personal security on our mobile devices have never been greater, and the DTEK50 looks to play on that insecurity in people’s minds by offering solid specs with enhanced protection.

BlackBerry has fallen away dramatically from the days when its Curve and Bold handsets, with BBM at their hearts, ruled the mobile roost. Over the past four years the Canadian firm has struggled to stay relevant in the ever-evolving smartphone world.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Blue & Ceramic Watch Hands-On

Wearables, , ,

The past few years have seen the launch and steady expansion of Blancpain’s Bathyscaphe line up. In 2013, we saw the original three-hander, 2014 gave us the Bathyscaphe Chronograph, and then the beautifully blue Bathyscaphe Ocean Commitment Chronograph came in 2015. This year, Blancpain completed the family portrait with the latest iteration of the Bathyscaphe, which quite successfully puts the look and construction of the Ocean Commitment Chronograph into the original three-hand design.

In broad strokes, if you know the standard Bathyscaphe three-hander, you are well on your way to understanding this new version. While the basic form remains thankfully unchanged, this new model is more than just a blue dial and bezel as its 43.6 mm case is made of grey ceramic. This is not the first time that Blancpain has used ceramic for the case of a Bathyscaphe three-hander and, much like the preceding Ocean Commitment Chronograph, this version has a lovely brushed blue dial and ceramic bezel with Liquidmetal hour markers.

Hands on: Hannspree HannsG HU282PPS review

Computers & IT, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hannspree is one of the very few remaining Taiwanese display companies left. Alongside the likes of BenQ, AG Neovo, Acer and ViewSonic, they have had to fend off increasing competition from the likes of TP Vision (AOC, Philips), Samsung, LG and Japanese rivals (Ilyama, NEC and Eizo).

This has caused diversification to be seen as an essential aspect of Hannspree’s business plans, with mixed results. The company has dabbled in tablets, PCs, wearables, speakers and even smartphones, but these lines of business remained on the periphery.

At any rate, today we’re looking at Hannspree’s latest 4K monitor, the HannsG HU282PPS with a price tag of just under £290 (around $380, AU$510) at Ebuyer. That’s about a tenner more expensive than the AOC U2879VF, the cheapest 4K monitor on the market, with a 27/28-inch diagonal.

Sony XD9305 4K TV review: Making a strong first impression

Audio & Video, , , , , , ,

Brilliant though the TV world’s new high dynamic range (HDR) technology is, it’s also proving monumentally hard for current TV technologies to handle. Which is precisely why Sony has moved past “current TV technologies” and come up with something new for its XD9305 series: the Slim Backlight Drive.

The main trick of this new Drive is that it introduces unprecedented levels of local light control to the edge LED lighting systems favourited – for affordability reasons – by the majority of LCD TVs. Its trick is that it places two of the light guide plates required by edge LED TVs in sequence, rather than just sticking with the usual single plate.

This gives the XD93 twice as much potential for controlling the amount of light appearing in different parts of the picture. That’s a big deal at any time, but a potential deal-maker in these days of HDR, where the need for more localised light controls has shifted to a whole new level.

Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander v Kia Sorento Platinum v Mazda CX-9 Touring v Nissan Pathfinder ST-L comparison

Cars, , , , , , , , ,

Sales of large family crossover SUVs continue to boom, and buyers in the market are faced with a bewildering array of options.

Here we gather four of the better-selling offerings, headlined by the most recent arrival to the class — the new-generation Mazda CX-9 out of Japan. Since everything Mazda Australia does seems to turn to gold, we’re expecting big things and even bigger sales from this much improved entrant.

Standing in the Mazda’s way is our reigning champion, the Kia Sorento from Korea. What it lacks in badge cache it makes up for in almost every other area, and remains one of the most underestimated offerings money can buy.

Joining the fray are two older and less fancied but still hugely popular options – the recently updated Hyundai Santa Fe Series II from Korea, and Nissan Pathfinderfrom the US.

Polar V800 review : Polar's software updates give new life to the ageing sports watch

Polar V800 review : Polar’s software updates give new life to the ageing sports watch

Wearables, , , , , , ,

So have the extra software additions made the Polar V800 an even better companion for runners? Yes and no. On the one hand, the plans are easy to follow and we like the ability to access them directly from the watch. Smart coaching features are well integrated and if you’re willing to grab a heart rate monitor as well, there’s plenty of useful running data here. The problems lie with the fragmented way that the information is spread across two apps. The most useful data sits inside the web app when it should be in the mobile app. Hopefully that’s an easy fix for Polar. This model is starting to show its age in the design department, but if you care about stats and a GPS watch that’s built to take some damage, it’s still a solid all-rounder.

Definitive Technology BP9080x Speaker System Review

Definitive Technology BP9080x Speaker System Review

Audio & Video, , , , ,

Definitive Technology’s monolithic bipolar towers —which launched the brand in 1990—have been around in one form or another almost as long as that thing in 2001: A Space Odyssey. With the fourth generation bowing recently, the Baltimore-area manufacturer set us up with a full suite: BP9080x fronts, CS9080 center, a pair of smallerbut-still-huge BP9060 towers for surrounds, and the A90 elevation speakers (Dolby Atmos-enabled and compatible with DTS:X) to go on top of those surrounds; the marquee BP9080x fronts have the same elevation componentry to bounce height-channel signals off the ceiling built right into their top 5 inches. All except the A90 are powered-woofer designs, with side-firing (up-firing in the case of the CS9080) woofer/passiveradiator arrangements driven by onboard amplifiers, and so they need to be connected to wall power as well as to speaker outputs for their passive mid- and high-frequency sections. (Full disclosure: Our BP9080x pair was marked “engineering sample.” We generally insist on production-run speakers, but such was not available in time for this issue. We were assured our towers were exemplars of initial production in every detail.)

At the moment, the CBR250RR has only been confirmed for Indonesia and Japan; Honda will likely introduce a larger-displacement version for western markets to compete against models like Yamaha‘s YZF-R3 andKTM‘s 390 Duke.

BENQ PV3200PT REVIEW

Computers & IT, , , , , , , , , ,

If you need a monitor big enough to be a TV, BenQ has your 4K fix
[su_slider source=”media: 33460,33461,33462,33463,33464,33465,33466,33467,33468,33469,33470,33471,33472,33473″ width=”640″ height=”460″ title=”no”] [/su_slider]

4K is the future. While 1080p monitors and televisions remain by far the most common found in the average home, they’re slowly being phased out and replaced by new, UltraHD sets. Eventually, the march of progress will make 1080p obsolete, just as 1,280 x 1,024 – once a popular PC monitor resolution – is now rarely seen.

If you’re interested in making content for 4K, or you simply want to experience the future today, you’re going to need a professional-grade screen. Like BenQ’s PV3200PT. Measuring 32 inches diagonally, and boasting full AdobeRGB cover, this display is one of the most capable we’ve seen recently. It competes with the Samsung U32D970Q, the HP Dreamcolor Z32x, and Dell’s UP3216Q, a list that might easily be named the “monitor hall of fame.”

IWC Big Pilot’s Heritage Watch 55 Hands-On

Wearables, , , ,

Sometimes you just really want a big watch… and, apparently, other times you want a huge one. Have no doubt that this 55mm-wide IWC Big Pilot’s Heritage Watch 55 timepiece is barely wearable in most instances. I mean, yes, you can rather easily (and surprisingly comfortably) attach the titanium case to your wrist on the plush leather strap – but this is a pure novelty watch through and through.

IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 55 Hands-On Hands-On

It’s sort of a shame that timepieces like this need to cost so much money. That means only a handful of well-funded weirdo collectors will be able to enjoy (from time to time) a massive modern timepiece such as this that is based on historic military pilot watches built for a certain German army around a certain global conflict during the early middle of the 20th century. Circus size and controversial inspirations are probably a good thing when you want to sex up a wearable desk clock. On that note, the IWC Big Pilot’s Heritage Watch 55 would make an excellent desk (or dashboard) clock. Unfortunately, despite the large case size, it doesn’t have a long power reserve.
