Knock shots off your handicap with these top wearables

Investing in a golf GPS watch or a swing analyser is a great way to slash shots off your handicap, and we couldn’t imagine going back to guessing which club to hit without the data to back it up.

Wearables and golfers have long been bedfellows, and for those desperate to shave a few digits off their handicap can really find benefits through technology. Using a GPS watch can help golfers make better decisions, and the price of technology has plummeted in the last year, making the tech affordable for everyone.

It’s not just GPS watches and glorified range-finders either. Systems like GameGolf and Zepp are helping golfers get more out of their practice time, and both systems promise* to offer unprecedented insights into your game – and most importantly, actionable information to become a better golfer.

Hands-on : Lenovo Yoga Book Gets Unboxing Treatment

Lenovo Yoga Book Gets Unboxing Treatment – Video preview

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

Lenovo’s hotly-anticipated Yoga Book still hasn’t shipped to consumers in the U.S., but our colleagues at Windows Central managed to get a unit in commercial packaging and unbox it. In a 10-minute video, Windows Central’s Zac Bowden set ups and goes hands-on with a Windows version of the Yoga Book, testing its travel-free Halo keyboard, included Wacom pen and ability to convert from laptop to tablet modes.

[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/7d_Y0kzNkIw”]

Available in both Android and Windows 10 versions, the Yoga Book is the first laptop to ship with a Wacom pen digitzer in lieu of a physical keyboard. You can use the included stylus to write directly on the digitizer or scribble with real ink on the included notebook and have the system capture your strokes through the paper. The 10-inch, bendback 2-in-1 starts at $499 and $549 respectively, depending on the operating system.

Panasonic Lumix GH5 Preview

Cameras, , , , , , , ,

At Photokina 2016, Panasonic announced the development of its new flagship Micro Four Thirds camera, the Lumix GH5. This preview sums up what we know about this promising compact system camera so far.

Design

Based on the prototype/mockup shown at Photokina, the Panasonic Lumix GH5 looks a lot like the current GH4 model. The camera’s external dimensions appear to be very similar, which may mean that you will be able to use your existing accessories with the GH5, once it hits the shelves in early 2017 – although this has yet to be confirmed. There are a few subtle changes though. The focus-assist/self-timer lamp has moved up a little to be in line with the ‘GH5’ inscription, the handgrip appears to have been slightly redesigned, and the shutter release is now sitting in a more centred position at the top of the grip. The top-mounted controls are almost identical to those of the Lumix GH4, but the Fn1 button has been repositioned to make room for the Movie record button, which now sits right behind the exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity control buttons.

Mevo by Livestream camera review

Cameras, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A year or so ago, live streaming events was more of a fad that only the very tech savvy or very social user would do. As we near the close of 2016, however, we look back at how the Internet has been flooded by this type of “democratized” broadcasting, ranging from sports and music events, to political debates, to witnessing crimes as they happen. But while live streaming has mostly been associated with smartphones, there is always a need for more professional, but still accessible, recording devices. That’s where the Mevo camera from Livestream comes in, developed by the company whose very name is synonymous to its purpose.

Design

Canisters are the new black. From the Amazon Echo to Google’s OnHub, cylindrical devices are in these days. The shape exudes simplicity, elegance, and space efficiency, all at once. And for devices with speakers, 360-degree reach. While the Mevo doesn’t really take advantage of the latter, it looks great all the same.

Denon AVR-X4200W A/V Receiver Review

Audio & Video, , , , , ,

Full disclosure: Denon holds a special place in my hi-fi heart, because the brand’s former parent company, Nippon Columbia, brought me to Japan for my first time, on a sort of mini–press junket cooked up by the firm’s U.S. marketing guru. When I say mini, I mean it: It was just myself; Ken, the marketing guy; colleague Ken Pohlmann; and the late consumer electronics editor Bill Wolfe, whom I already knew well through long associations at titles like Video, Car Stereo Review, and (Plain Ol’) Stereo Review (S&V’s precursor).

I don’t remember the official excuse for the trip—some digitalaudio development, no doubt— but in retrospect, I’m pretty sure it was Ken’s way of consuming his remaining marketing budget in congenial company. It was an epic trip: We endured an incredible 23-hour Boeing 747 incarceration (due to a polar turnaround for a medical emergency somewhere back in steerage), a major typhoon immediately after arrival, and some insanely inebriated, four-hour traditional Japanese dinners that left my folded legs nearly useless, followed by next-morning technical briefings at 7:30. There would be subsequent Japan trips, but none to equal the first.

Every Fossil Group designer wearable launched in 2016 so far

Every Fossil Group designer wearable launched in 2016 so far

Wearables, ,

Getting to 100: Michael Kors, Skagen, Misfit, Kate Spade & more

At Baselworld back in March, Fossil Group announced it would launch 100 wearables from eight of its fashion brands, in 40 countries and 20 languages, by the end of 2016. 100! That’s no small figure and we’ve been pretty much obsessed with its efforts to hit it all year.

We won’t be reviewing each and every single Fossil Group device partly because this mega plan is upending how we think about gadgets, wearables and connected accessories.

We’re not talking 100 different spec lists, form factors, processors, screen tech etc etc but three main categories: accessories, smartwatches with screens and hybrids without screens and many, many different styles. There’s actually onlystrictly about 20 – 30 devices listed.

2016 Suzuki Vitara Range Review

2016 Suzuki Vitara Range Review

Cars, ,

The 2016 Suzuki Vitara has been a bit of a hit for the Japanese brand – it seemingly has the right blend of pricing, styling and robustness that buyers are warming to.

The range of Suzuki Vitara models is expansive, with three engine options, front- and all-wheel-drive derivatives, and a price range from just over twenty grand all the way up to the mid-thirties, so your budget may dictate which Vitara you buy.

But which is the pick of the pack? We decided to assemble a few variants of theSuzuki small SUV range to try and figure it out.

MeisterSinger Salthora Watch Review

Wearables, ,

MeisterSinger, I think it is safe to say, has a very singular approach to their watch designs. They have carved a niche out for themselves with their single-handed watches, offering tidy German designs with more than a dash of an “island-time” mentality. That is not to say that the watches are not accurate, because they are, given the Swiss movements inside. No, instead, with the 15-minute increments being as close as you can reliably tell the time on a traditional single-hand watch, you are forced into a more relaxed view of what time it is. Or perhaps that’s just me, the “feeling forced” bit. I rather like to know the exact time, which is why something like the MeisterSinger Salthora is a good fit.

Kết quả hình ảnh cho Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam Review

Streaming video games has become really big business. Some streamers have elaborate setups with green screens so that they can show you more of the game rather than their messy apartments, but that takes a lot of room and money. Logitech’s $99.99 C922 Pro Stream Webcam takes out a lot of the cost and the space by using software to remove or replace the background, making you look like a pro for a fraction of the dough. It’s not as reliable as using a real green screen, but the C922 is much easier to use, and it also happens to be a great everyday webcam.

Design

The C922 is the spitting image of Logitech’s C920, our favorite webcam. It shares the C920’s chunky, all-black casing, with microphones that flank both sides of the 1080p lens, and it even has the same lengthy 6-foot cord sticking out the back.A rear-mounted arm secures the camera onto your laptop lid or external monitor.

Steljes Audio ML-30HD Integrated Amplifier Review

Steljes Audio ML-30HD Integrated Amplifier Review

Audio & Video, , , ,

What is the Steljes Audio ML-30HD?

The Steljes Audio ML-30HD is an integrated amplifier. A quick look at the basic layout in the pictures should be enough to tell you that the manner in which Steljes has gone about making such a device is a little bit different to more conventionally accepted practise in this area. We’ll cover the specs thoroughly in due course but suffice to say that combining as it does, Bluetooth, USB and a phono stage, the ML-30HD is very on-message for 2016.

The presence of the valve sticking out the top is also pretty much of the moment. We have recently looked at the Copland DAC 215 which made use of valves in it but the position of Copland in such matters is that through careful implementation of the circuit they are in, valves retain advantages over their solid state brethren. There is also little arguing that valves give products a look and feel that is hard to replicate any other way and, while preconceptions are dangerous things, it seems more than possible that Steljes might be making as much use of the aesthetics of valves as any performance gain.

Mixcder Shareme Pro Headphone Hands on Review

Mixcder Shareme Pro Headphone Hands on Review

Audio & Video, Wearables, , , , ,

When we first got our hands on the Mixcder Shareme 7, a month and a half ago, we were skeptical that this new kid on the block was just another wannabe company with an inferior cheap product.  But after thorough testing and review we were pleasantly (and unexpectantly) surprised with the audio and build quality of Mixcder’s inaugural product (visit our review here )  

The Mixcder Shareme Pro, by its name, gave us great expectations that this successor would be a vast improvement over its predecessor, which it is in many respects. As with the Shareme 7, the Shareme Pro offers an extremely comfortable and soft over-the-ear listening experience, with its supple synthetic protein leather ear cushions and headband. With its extendable stainless steel headband and over-the-ear speakers that can rotate upto 90 degrees, Mixcder has produced a versatile product that fits your unique sizing without much effort. All while offering a product that is quite sturdy and light-weight.However, while it’s generally accepted that over-the-ear headphone users give up aspects of portability for the sake of audio quality, it seems the Pro has lost its way in this respect. With the Shareme 7, Mixcder designed the headset with the ability for the speakers to fold inwards, giving it a smaller footprint in terms of portability.

There are a few choices out there if you are looking for a compact and affordable streaming device, but if you want something that’s capable of streaming content from a few different providers (Netflix, Google Play, Hulu, etc), two of the current best choices are the Roku Express and Google Chromecast 2.

These are both great entry level streamers at prices that don’t break the bank, with the Roku Express (part of the new line up from Roku) currently priced at $29.99 and the Google Chromecast 2 marginally more expensive at $35 (£30).

10 Canceled Cars that Won’t be Coming Back after 2017

Cars, , , , , ,

Not every new car is a success, and over time even the most intriguing models run the risk of being surpassed by more interesting offerings from other companies. It’s not always a design, price, or features issue – some slow sellers fall victim to events outside their control, like changing fuel prices, shifting customer buying habits, or fading styling trends. The 10 cars on this list are facing their final year of production before being canceled forever, making this your last chance to snag one of these models.

1. Dodge Viper

The Dodge Viper has long stood as a singular entry in the word of supercars, and the addition of electronic traction control and stability control to the latest generation car has done little to attenuate its raw, powerful character. Still, the lack of an automatic transmission on the options sheet (a nod to its purist design principles), and a much higher price than its domestic rival, the Chevrolet Corvette, have conspired to reduce sales to the point where Dodge is walking away from its halo car – for a second time, as Viper production went on extended hiatus between 2010 and 2013. The 2017 model year will be the final one for the Dodge Viper, and it will be celebrated by several special editions aimed at hardcore fans.

Chopard L.U.C XP Esprit De Fleurier Peony Watch Hand-on:

Wearables, ,

The unrestrained use of floral motifs on ladies’ watches continues, and despite my objection to this feminine cliche, I acknowledge that it is really well-executed in some cases, resulting in watches that actually appear to be made for adult women. The best floral applications on timepieces are applied in either abstract or unexpected ways, and the ChopardL.U.C XP Esprit de Fleurier Peony does both.

chopard-luc-xp-esprit-de-fleurier-peony-ablogtowatch-03

The peony is represented on the dial using mother-of-pearl that is carved out and set with diamonds in a pattern that resembles the outlines of the peony’s irregular petals. Chopard’s stylized representation is perfect because it reflects the unruly, lush petal arrangement of the real-life peony, which seems abstract to begin with – daisies (e.g., as seen on the Christophe Claret Marguerite watch – hands-on here), by comparison, are too literal and uniform to be displayed abstractly or elegantly on a dial, in my opinion.

Yamaha RX-A1060 review

Audio & Video, ,

Getting an AV amp right at any price involves a careful balancing act, a trade-off between things that don’t always seem like they should go together.

Power and subtlety; precision and excitement; features and transparency – often these complete opposites need to become enthusiastic bedfellows if an amp is going to perform to its best, especially when it costs over £1,000/$1500.

Build

After a few years of not quite finding that balance at this price, Yamaha has nailed it with the RX-A1060, a mid-range amp in the premium Aventage range.

This means you can expect upgraded circuitry, better build quality and that anti-resonance fifth foot in the middle of the chassis to help reduce vibration.

The new 2017 Volkswagen Passat 206TSI R-Line range-topper is about to launch in Australia, giving the company the flagship mid-sized car it should have been offering already.

But, better late than never. This new hotted-upVolkswagen Passat derivative gives the company’s Australian arm a spiritual successor to the almost-iconic R36 Passat of two generations ago, though that car’s voluble V6 is replaced here by something a little smaller.

Under the bonnet of this Passat sedan or wagon (your choice) is a version of the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine familiar from the Skoda Superb 206TSI and the VW Golf R, as well as the latest 4Motion on-demand all-wheel drive system.

13 Disappearing Laptop Ports and How to Get Them Back

13 Disappearing Laptop Ports and How to Get Them Back

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

Apple recently kicked over a hornet’s nest filled with dongles when it unveiled a pair of iPhones that do away with the 3.5-mm audio jack. Unfortunately, in their zeal to save money and make their systems ever thinner, notebook vendors have also removed a lot of important connectors. Other technologies, like FireWire connectors, are just too obsolete for manufacturers to support, but if you still have devices that use them, you don’t care how old they are.

If you buy a new laptop today, you can rest assured that it will work with your old headphones, but there’s a good chance it won’t work with your camera’s memory cards, wired office network or backup drive out of the box. The bleeding-edge 12-inch MacBook has only a single USB Type-C port to go with its audio jack, while the business-friendly Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon has room for three USB ports but eschews the Ethernet connection you need in many offices.

To help you stay connected, we’ve detailed some of the most important ports (or drives) you might be missing and how to get them back with the right adapters.

PMC Twenty5.23 review

PMC Twenty5.23 review

Audio & Video, ,

PMC is 25 years old. In that time it has grown from a small concern focused on professional monitors, into one of the mainstays of the premium domestic speaker market.

The company’s new  Twenty5 range celebrates that, and demonstrates just how much it has learnt over the past quarter of a century.

We’ve already reviewed (and loved) the largest standmounters of the range, the Twenty5.22s. Now it’s the turn of the starter towers, the Twenty5.23s.

This model is already turning out to be the big seller of the range and it’s not hard to understand why.

Build

The Twenty5.23s are small. Standing just over 90cm high and 16cm wide, they are compact enough to fit into most rooms without intruding. That’s an important factor.

2016 Ducati Hypermotard

If it isn’t obvious yet, I think the Hypermotard SP is wheelie awesome

Last time we talked, I told you about how I added the screen and luggage from the Ducati Hyperstrada to make my very ownHypermotard-strada SP. I also told you about how I rode one of the most incredible routes up to Laguna Seca for the WSBK race. Well, what I didn’t tell you was that I stayed for a day after the race and, thanks to the nice folks at Pirelli, got to ride until my little cold heart was content. Sometimes, life hands you ice cream cones instead of lemons.

Getting the bike ready for track duty was as simple as pulling off the bags and windscreen (though I’d have needed to tape/unplug the lights and pull the mirrors if this were a normal track day). The Pirelli team sorted me a fresh set of Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPs for the day and I was good to go.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV review: The 30-megapixel monster

Cameras, , , , , , , ,

Canon has stepped things up a gear in recent years by leading with higher-resolution DSLR cameras. It had long been said that the 24-megapixel mark would be the company’s limit until lenses could make the best of the capture resolution – a concept that was not just slightly but entirely demolished by the company’s 50.6-megapixel EOS 5DS (and R) DSLRs.

Enter the brand new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and that resolution trait has, in part, influenced its choice of sensor. For the 5D Mark IV dons an all-new 30-megapixel full-framer, making it a notable step-up over the previous Mark III’s 22.3-megapixel offering, which, at the time, was perceived as a limited jump over to the Mark II model.

The EOS 5D range has long been known as the enthusiast DSLR – but never as a Nikon D810 competitor, which is approaching where the 5D Mark IV is now pitched. What it offers above and beyond its near competition, however, is staggering performance across the board.

Azimuth SP-1 Crazy Rider ‘Bike Chain’ Watch Hands-On

Wearables, , ,

Well, the Azimuth SP-1 Crazy Rider watch offers a very literal interpretation of that design theme.
