2017 Kawasaki KLX140G Review

Cars, , ,

Kawasaki builds a serious playbike for us big kids

I’ve read it a thousand times and probably written it a few hundred: If you want to grow your motorcycle skills, get a dirtbike. Most people who aren’t so familiar with knobbies might think that means one of those $9,000 450cc monsters capable of leaping tall orthopedic wards in a single bound, but what you really want is a bike like the ones they train people on at Colin Edwards’ Texas Tornado Boot Camp, Rich Oliver’s Mystery School, and others. Okay, well, those happen to beYamaha TT-R125s, but now Kawasaki has a new competitor for that little beast in the form of its “all-new” KLX140G.

How to Download Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Including Its ISO Files

How to Download Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Including Its ISO Files

Wearables, , , , ,

If you have Windows 10 installed, you’ll soon be getting Anniversary Update, a huge upgrade that adds several major features and dozens of minor ones. With Anniversary Update, you get Cortana on the lock screen, Windows Ink sketching and the ability to sync SMS messages with your phone, among many other new capabilities. You can wait patiently and hope your computer automatically downloads the update soon or you can force the issue and download the new build manually.

Here’s how to download Windows 10 Anniversary, either as an over-the-air update or as an ISO file you can burn to a USB key or DVD.

Check If You Already Have Anniversary Update

The UI changes in Anniversary Update are so subtle that you may not even notice if your computer has already installed it. If your Windows is on build number 14393 or higher, you’ve got it.  To check:

Flagships compared : Canon EOS-1D X Mark II versus Nikon D5

Flagships compared : Canon EOS-1D X Mark II versus Nikon D5

Cameras, , , , , ,

2016 is an Olympics year, and while Brazil may be scrambling to get everything ready, Canon and Nikon are fully prepared. Both manufacturers launched brand new flagship DSLRs this spring, just in time for the world’s sports and action photographers to learn how to use them ahead of the games, which start next month.

Flagships compared: Canon EOS-1D X Mark II versus Nikon D5

Having two major DSLRs launched into the same marketplace aimed at the same kind of photographers at the same time is a good opportunity to see how they compare. We’ve recently published full, detailed reviews of both the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II and Nikon D5, but in this article we’ll be highlighting the major differences between the two models.

AMD Radeon RX 470 review : A great graphics card with a terrible price

AMD Radeon RX 470 review : A great graphics card with a terrible price

Wearables, , , , , , , ,

XFX’s gorgeous, thoughtful customizations are great, and the Radeon RX 470’s performance devastates its predecessors, but it’s priced too close to the RX 480.

With the launch of the Radeon RX 480 ($200 for the 4GB model, $240 for the 8GB model) firmly in the rear view mirror, AMD’s bringing its cutting-edge 14nm Polaris GPU to evenmore of the masses.

xfx radeon rx 470 3

While the revolutionary RX 480 delivered uncompromising 1080p gaming performance, damned fine 1440p gaming performance, and basic VR capabilities at an incredible price, the new Radeon RX 470 ($180 and up on Newegg) ostensibly aims to kick ass in 1080p gaming at an even lower price. But the Radeon RX 470’s spec sheet reveals that the graphics processor beating inside of it is just barely nerfed compared to the full-blown RX 480, for a barely lower price. Can this iterative step-down card carve out a niche of its own—or maybe even steal a bit of the thunder from AMD’s mainstream flagship?

Oppo PM-2 planar magnetic headphones review : As exquisite as they are expensive

Oppo PM-2 planar magnetic headphones review : As exquisite as they are expensive

Audio & Video, , , , , ,

The Oppo PM-2 are all-around spectacular headphones, as well they should be considering their $699 price tag. These cans deliver an uncolored, neutral, and engaging musical presentation with an uncanny knack of revealing the finest details from just about any musical source. While you can drive them with a smartphone, you’ll be duly rewarded by pairing the PM-2 with the highest-quality headphone amplifier or digital audio player you can afford (we review four of the best DAPs in this story).

If you’re not familiar with Oppo, you’re not alone. For much of its existence, the company made a name for itself by producing some of the best and most acclaimed Blu-ray players (and DVD players before that) money could buy. But you wouldn’t find those products in any big-box store; you had to shop specialty retailers or buy direct.

Basis Peak Review - Great, But Wait To Buy

Basis Peak Review – Great, But Wait To Buy

Wearables, , , , , ,

As the first wrist activity-band with a built-in heart rate monitor, the Basis B1 helped pave the way for a generation of fitness trackers that provided more information than just the number of steps you take in a day. With the Peak, Basis is adding another wrinkle: smartphone notifications. Taking a page from more-expensive smartwatches, this $199 device will now let you see who’s calling or texting, without having to take your phone out of your pocket. But others have caught up to Basis’ game; did the company do enough to stay at the head of the pack?

Editor’s Note (8/4/16): Basis has issued a recall of every Basis Peak due to reports of the watch causing blisters and burns through overheating. If you own a Basis Peak, please go to the Basis support site to fill out a form for a full refund. Also, as Intel will be shutting down Basis Peak services at the end of 2016, we no longer recommend consumers purchase this device. We have adjusted the rating accordingly.

BlackBerry DTek50 Review : Security and Productivity for a Good Price

BlackBerry DTek50 Review : Security and Productivity for a Good Price

Phones, , , , , , , , ,

It’s easy to make fun of BlackBerry’s embrace of Android in an attempt to revive its business. However, its newest phone, the DTek50, shows that by adding what BlackBerry is known for —legendary security — it can successfully differentiate itself from other smartphones. While the $299 DTek50 could be improved in a few areas, it’s a good template for BlackBerry’s future success.

Familiar but friendly design

If you think you’ve seen the DTek50 before, it’s probably because you have. BlackBerry’s newest smartphone is essentially the same as the Alcatel Idol 4. Both have 5.2-inch displays, an aluminum frame with chamfered edges, two speakers and an 8-megapixel camera on the front, and a 13-MP camera with a two-tone flash in the upper left corner of the back. And they both have a round button on the right side whose action can be customized.

Mass Fidelity Core and Core Sub review : Exceptional Bluetooth speakers

Mass Fidelity Core and Core Sub review : Exceptional Bluetooth speakers

Audio & Video, , , , , , ,

I first wrote about Mass Fidelity’s Core Bluetooth speaker way back when it was the subject of a highly successful crowdfunding campaign. That campaign raised so much cash that Mass Fidelity quickly put a companion subwoofer on the development fast track. Both speakers have been available for a while, so my reviews of both products are ridiculously overdue.

Mass Fidelity Core

The good news is that Mass Fidelity delivered on every promise it made for each product. The Core itself produces sound that’s completely out of proportion to its size. Just six inches square and four inches high, the Cube easily filled my 247-square-foot home theater with sound.

Top 10 Yamaha Sportbikes

Top 10 Yamaha Sportbikes

Cars, , , , ,

It’s been a couple years since we posted our Top 10 Honda Sportbikes list. There always exists subjectivity in such a list, but since the Honda topic was generally well-received, revisiting the idea, this time showcasing Yamaha sportbikes, seemed apropos. Like the Honda list, we’re keeping this one limited to street-legal models available stateside (except one, sue us).

Like Honda, Yamaha owns a colorful history of important sporty motorcycles – more than a single Top 10 list can include. Narrowing down such a cornucopia of two-wheel performance is a difficult task, but we’re certain that if you feel we omitted a bike more deserving than one of the 10 selected here, you’ll certainly let us know in the comments section below.

10. RD400

072816-top-10-yamaha-sportbikes-10-1976-yamaha-rd400

n the 1970’s heyday of 2-stroke performance, when the efficient yet dirty form of internal combustion was still allowed within the continental United States, Yamaha’s RD400 was the bike of choice for many cafe racer wannabes. Rarely would one be seen in stock trim like the model pictured above, as OEM handlebars were replaced for clubmans quicker than the RD could accelerate through the quarter-mile, which was approximately 14 seconds.

Bush E3X vs Moto G4 vs Moto G4 Plus: What’s the difference?

Phones, , , , ,

Bush has announced a budget smartphone that will be available exclusively through Argos for £200/$300, called the E3X.

It’s got some pretty decent specs under its hood for its price tag, but how does it stand up to the kings of the budget smartphone world – the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus?

We have put the Bush E3X up against the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus to see how the three devices compare and which is the budget handset to buy, based on the numbers.

polarm600-10-970-80

Hands on: Polar M600 review

Wearables, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Polar has gotten along just fine making stellar fitness trackers in the advent of smartwatches. And while it shows no signs of stopping, it’s trying something totally new with the Polar M600, a new Android Wear smartwatch that takes after the look of its past products.

While most Android Wear smartwatches are designed to be suited for the office or a night out, Polar’s latest looks unashamedly like a standard fitness tracker. As a result, it’s a bit bulkier than other options, like the Huawei Watch and Moto 360.

polarm600-4-650-80

But what’s most noteworthy about the Polar M600 are the handful of features that set it apart from many of the others, thin and attractive as they may be: it’s waterproof, it will be upgraded to Android Wear 2.0, it works on both iOS and Android, and it packs in GPS, like the Moto 360 Sport.

Not just that, Polar has implemented its own coaching and activity tracking software into the experience. It’s not too often you see a company mess with stock Android Wear, but if you’re focused on fitness, the Polar M600 could be one of the most alluring options for 2016.

Kensington SD4600P Universal Dock Review

Kensington SD4600P Universal Dock Review

Computers & IT, Wearables, , , ,

Kensington’s got its eyes fully focused on the future with the SD4600P dock. The $200 Kensington SD4600P takes advantage of USB-C’s best features, works reliably and doesn’t need any drivers, thanks to Alt-Mode. But it doesn’t do much to innovate, and it doesn’t have any support for legacy ports.

Design

The Kensington SD4600P has a fairly boring design: a horizontal, black, plastic rectangle with curved edges. That’s a shame, considering the minimalist, two-tone design of the HP Elite Thunderbolt 3 dock. It’d be nice if dock makers would put in more of an effort instead of pumping out cheap-looking, yawn-inducing products.

Ulefone Metal 4G Smartphone Review – A Great Buy

Ulefone Metal 4G Smartphone Review – A Great Buy

Phones, , , ,

If you are reading my posts and reviews then you must certainly be aware about Ulefone. For those who have no clue, Ulefone is one of the leading smartphone and accessories manufacturer in China. As the name suggests, Ulefone Metal is an uni metal body smartphone having a decent design that one should feel. Ulefone is launching its products in almost every price range and Ulefone Future is the best smartphone launched by them, according to me. You can also read its review as the phone has a completely Bezel Less display. Now coming back to Ulefone Metal. Ulefone Metal comes with Android 6.0 (marshmallow) out of the box and has a pretty decent screen size of 5.0 inch.

AKG+K52-5

AKG K52 review

Audio & Video, , , , , ,

For some time now, AKG has been the king of affordable headphones. From the AKG K451 to the AKG Y50 (£50), the last five years have seen the company pick up a string of What Hi-Fi? Awards.

The AKG K52 over-ears are the latest budget headphones to win us over. At £30/$45, the K52s sit on the cheapest end of a new line, followed closely by the K72 (£40/$60) and the K92 (£50/$75).

Price-wise, the closest competition would seem to come from within – the Award-winning Y50s. But they are a completely different proposition.

Whereas the Y50s are a portable on-ear pair, the K52s are designed for home use. They don’t fold up, nor are there any in-line remote controls.

Build and comfort

The over-ear design is surprisingly light. Despite its low price, no part of the headphones’ construction feels poorly made. They feel durable, too, which is a rare thing for such a budget price.

The AKG K52 headphones have a metal frame that’s sturdy but remains lightweight. The headband isn’t adjustable; instead there’s a flexible, cushioned band that springs into place around your head.

Ring Stick Up Cam Review: Solar-powered security

Cameras, , , , , ,

There’s a tricky balance to be struck when you’re designing an outdoor security camera: do you go with the convenience of battery power, or the performance of wired? Ring’s Stick Up Cam attempts to straddle the two, offering the flexibility of a built-in rechargeable battery with the option of an add-on solar panel for truly off-the-grid use – well, just as long as your WiFi is within range. Question is, has quality taken a back-seat in the hunt for easy installation?

Fitting the Stick Up Cam is straightforward, particularly if you’re mounting to something wooden like a fence. For the camera, Ring includes a screwdriver with a switchable head, screws with tiny rubber washers, plugs for mounting to concrete or brick walls, and even a suitably-sized drill bit. You’ll need to provide your own drill, of course.

Skullcandy Ink’d Wireless review

Audio & Video, , , , , , , ,

505021-ink-d-wireless-inline

I first pulled Skullcandy’s Ink’d Wireless neckband-style Bluetooth headphone out its box, I had pretty low expectations. Frankly, it looks and feels a little cheap. And, to be fair, it is: it lists for $50, and we’ve already seen at least on sale at Best Buy (since ended) where it was selling for $40.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Ink’d Wireless is that it’s very lightweight. If you have a collared shirt on, you’ll barely feel it around your neck. The band’s got some flexibility to it, which is good, and while the cords that run from the neckband to the earbuds seem a little thin, some of LG’s Tone headphones have very thin cords (they’re retractable on some models) and I haven’t had a problem with them breaking or fraying over time.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 vs Galaxy Note 3: What’s the difference?

Phones, , , , , , , , , , ,

Samsung has announced its latest Note, adding to its 2016 flagship smartphone line-up. The Galaxy Note 7 brings a fabulous design and some serious power with it, something that has come to be expected from the Note range.

The latest Note device to come to the UK was the Note 4 after Samsungchose not to launch the Note 5 in certain regions. The company skipped the Note 6 name in order to minimise confusion, but the Note 7 is still a long time coming, especially for those with a Note 3 who wanted to upgrade last year and were denied the chance.

If you are one of those, this feature is for you. Here is how the Galaxy Note 7 compares to the three-year old Galaxy Note 3. Is it worth the wait?

Porsche 911 Carrera (2017) review: Engine evolution?

Cars, , , ,

Throughout its history the Porsche 911 has undergone some critical design changes, each one of which naysayers have warned might kill off what makes this car so special. There have been impact bumpers, the move from an air-cooled to water-cooled engine, the last generation’s move to an electric power steering system, and now – in a move some purists see as heresy – the turbo-charging of the engine. Say hello to the Porsche 911 Carrera.

But wait, hasn’t there always been a turbo-charged 911? Indeed there has, the “big T” 911 Turbo, which has been revamped too – we drove it for the first time in May, in its higher output Turbo S format. But the lesser 911 models (if you will), the ones the majority of people buy, have never been turbo-charged. And now they are. All of them. Playing “little t” to the big, bad proper Turbo model.

Quad Z1 Loudspeaker Review

Audio & Video, , , , , , , , , ,

Everything you think you know about Quad comes with a curve ball. Some might associate the name with quadraphonic sound, but in fact it originally stood for Quality Unit Amplifier Domestic. That name implies a mission involving amps, and Quad does make ’em—but as any longtime audiophile can tell you, the brand is best known for its large flatpanel electrostatic loudspeakers. Some of those graying audiophiles remember Quad as a British manufacturer, but it has been under the competent and enlightened ownership of Bernard and Michael Chang of Taiwan and their International Audio Group for more than a decade.

Incidentally, IAG has a deep well of engineering resources, which enhances the performance and credibility of their brands. These speakers, per their back label, are designed and engineered in the U.K. and manufactured in China (in Shenzhen); they are marketed in the U.S. by MoFi Distribution. MoFi is the parent company of Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, the patron saint of the audiophile vinyl reissue, which has branched out into hardware, including turntables.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 vs. S7 Edge: Is scribbling worth the extra scrilla?

Phones, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The new Galaxy Note 7 is a venerable powerhouse of a smartphone. It may not look much like the Galaxy Note 5 before it, but that’s arguably for the best. In contrast to its exceptionally flat predecessor, it’s adopted the subtle curves of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 series. But the changes aren’t just surface level. The Note 7 sports Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 820, the same chip found in such flagships as the LG G5, the HTC 10, the OnePlus 3. It’s got an abundance of memory, too — 4GB of RAM — and top-of-the-line cameras.

The device’s undisputed showstopper, however, is its gorgeous display: a 5.7-inch quad HD Super AMOLED screen with its 2,560 x 1,440-pixel resolution and a slight curve on either edge. The Galaxy Note 7, you might say, is the stylus-touting smartphone that dreams are made of. But that top-of-the-line hardware carries an appropriately high price tag. The obvious question, then, is whether the Galaxy Note 7 is worth the extra cost when compared to its older brethren, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Both of which lack a stylus, of course, but are significantly cheaper as a result.

Galaxy Note 7 vs S7 and S7 Edge : Which One is Right for You?

By jumping from 5 to 7, Samsung is making it clear that its newest flagship phablet – the Galaxy Note 7 – is on the same level as its wildly popular, and impressive Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. But aside from a new curvy design and IP-68 waterproofing, the Note 7 bring some new features even its smaller siblings don’t have, which makes it a good time to compare all  which one is right for you.

Specs

On paper, the current range of Galaxy phones are pretty similar. Overall performance should be nearly identical and despite being different sizes, all the phones feature a Super AMOLED screen with 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution. The Note 7 is the biggest at 5.7 inches, the S7 Edge in the middle at 5.5 inches, and the S7 has a 5.1-inch screen.

Hamilton Khaki Field Auto Chrono Watch Hands-On

Wearables, ,

The venerable Hamilton Khaki remains one of the best “field-style” watches around with its retro military looks and adaptation to modern male aesthetics. Over the years, Hamilton has produced an endless variation of Khaki models, and the larger Hamilton Khaki collection today includes timepieces that you might not even traditionally bulk into the Khaki watch family. One that is both modern and does arguably feel like it fits into the historic idea of what a Hamilton Khaki should be is the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto Chrono.

This is one of a few less common chronograph versions of the Khaki, but a nice one. The vast majority of Hamilton Khaki models are three-handers. There is nothing wrong with that, but if you were to add an additional complication to the mix, then a chronograph makes the most sense.

RoboShoot MX-20/RX-20 TTL Flash Triggers for Fuji X Review

RoboShoot MX-20/RX-20 TTL Flash Triggers for Fuji X Review

Today, I’m taking a look at something a bit different from my normal reviews: a wireless TTL flash trigger for the Fuji X series. This set is the RoboShoot MX-20 from Serene automation, which provides through the lens metering via off camera flash using Fujifilm or Nikon flashguns on your Fuji X camera.

I don’t do a ton of shooting with off-camera flash, and both due to cost and my shooting style, I use fully manual radio flash triggers for my personal work, but it was great to test out what I believe are the only native TTL radio triggers for the Fuji X series.  The functionality is unique in the Fuji world, but they come in at a rather eye-opening $380 price point for the reviewed master trigger and receiver set reviewed here today.  Is it worth the price?

Available with high-end (for a Chromebook) specs, such as a powerful Core m5 CPU and a 3200 x 1800 display, plus the security and manageability features that IT managers need, the Chromebook 13 means business.

LG V20 release date, news and rumors

The LG G5 is a great phone, but not without its issues, so a second 2016 flagship could be just what the company needs to compete with the biggest and best of its rivals.

That flagship hope is coming in the form of the LG V20, the successor to the LG V10, a phone which launched in 2015 with little fanfare in Asia and the US, but tons of innovation.

Although news and rumors of the V20 are only just starting to emerge there won’t be long to wait for the phone at all, with a September launch already confirmed. So to get you up to speed on what to expect here’s all the information so far.

MICROSOFT XBOX ONE S REVIEW

The launch of the Xbox One was a bit of a mess. After botching its initial E3 presentation with sky-high pricing and a DRM scheme that would’ve killed used games, the company was forced to back-track. It wasn’t enough. The PlayStation 4’s global sales have roughly doubled that of the Xbox One.

Initial sales were so bad that many analysts speculated that Microsoft might sell off the Xbox division. But that didn’t happen. Instead, the company has doubled down, focusing on the long game with a series of hardware and software updates.

The new Xbox One S represents both. On the hardware side, its miniaturization is meant to leapfrog the PlayStation 4, which is smaller and subtler than the original Xbox One. In software, the Xbox One S is Microsoft’s standard-bearer for Windows 10. While older Xbox One consoles can update to the same software, there’s still a lot of confusion about how Windows 10 and Xbox work together. The updated console is positioned to provide clarity.
