The Casio WSD-F20, the Japanese company’s second stab at the Android Wear market, was revealed over in Vegas at CES 2017.

The successor to the Casio Smart Outdoor WSD-F10 now falls under the company’s Pro Trek Smart Series and delivers the feature we wanted most from the original: built-in GPS.

Read on to find out everything you need to know about the Pro Trek Smart…

Design and display

Casio’s new smartwatch is still built for ruggedness and thankfully the watch specialist has managed to pack in everything without adding any extra bulk.

Measuring 61.7mm × 56.4mm × 15.7mm, it weighs the same 92g as the original.

Starmobile Engage Aura - What we love, and what we don’t

Starmobile Engage Aura – What we love, and what we don’t

3 Things We Love About the Starmobile Engage Aura

We’ve had more time with Starmobile’s affordable, 14-inch laptop, the Engage Aura, after writing its initial review — you can check out the video above — and our relationship with it has been somewhat rocky. Just like a strained relationship, at times it’s best to remember the good things. With that in mind, here are the three things we love about the Starmobile Engage Aura.

It’s Lightweight and Easy to Carry

I personally have a ginormous bag with me every time we have to head to an event or when we have to film videos for the site and, despite my hefty frame, it can be a bit of a hassle to carry around equipment and a laptop for editing our content.

Head-to-Head : Huawei GR5 2017 vs Nokia 6

Phones, , , , , , , , ,

After pitting Huawei’s dual-cam smartphone against the 5.5-inch Zenfone 3 Max, today we’ll be comparing the specs of the 2017 GR5 against Nokia’s comeback Android phone, the Nokia 6. Nokia’s new phone plays at the same mid-range price range as the new GR5, so it’ll be interesting to see how both phones stack up specs wise. So, without further ado:

2015 – 2017 Harley-Davidson SuperLow Review

Cars, , , , ,

The SuperLow line carries few changes into the ’17 model year, and for the most part can be considered a direct carryover from 2016. Powered by the 883 cc Evolution engine, the XL 883L delivers modest performance and nimble handling. The slammed suspension puts the rider’s butt close to the ground where even the shortest inseams can feel confident and in control with both feet down flat. While this ride isn’t quite as entry level as the Street 500/750, it is the smallest of  Harley-Davidson’s traditional designs and typically serves as a trainer bike for folks interested in air-cooled cruisers.

Design

No matter what changes get made for individual models, all Sportster models come with Harley’s narrowest frame and front end, just as they have since the K-model introduced Harley’s little sportbike to the world back in the early ’50s.

Nintendo Switch: Everything you really need to know

Wearables, , ,

Nintendo’s Switch reveal event has come and gone, and now that we’re on the other side of it, there’s a lot of information to get through. Nintendo announced everything from release date and pricing to which first-party titles will be launching for the console within 2017. With that in mind, here all are the Nintendo Switch details you need to bring yourself up to speed.

Release date and pricing

As expected, Nintendo announced a March release date for the Switch, but a lot of the rumors going into this reveal suggested a mid-March launch. It turned out that those rumors were inaccurate, with Nintendo instead announcing a March 3, 2017 release date. When it arrives, the full Nintendo Switch package will cost $299.99, so it’s launching at a price point that many of us expected.

Chord CPM 2800 MKII Integrated Amplifier Review

What is the Chord CPM 2800 MKII?

The Chord CPM 2800 MKII is an integrated amplifier from Chord Electronics that is part of their full width range of components. At the relatively lofty price point that this amp pitches in at, the bulk of the competition comes from amplifiers that are rather less laden in features and functionality. The Chord is fairly unusual for an amplifier at this price in that it comes in a single chassis and contains both amplification and digital to analogue conversion.

This last bit of information ought to cause people’s ears to prick up because Chord Electronics could be said to be ‘a bit good’ at the business of making digital to analogue convertors. The Mojo and Hugo portable DACs are sensational performers and their high-end products boast reference levels of performance. If you are buying an amplifier, it won’t do any harm for it to be equipped with some serious decoding hardware.

Brightness uniformity function (can be switched on/off in menus) and makes the screen brightness more uniform across the screen (without any bright spots or areas). Hardware calibration with palette master element software.

The monitor uses an IPS panel, with viewing angles of 178/178 degrees.

Meike 6,5mm F2 Fisheye Front Oblique View

The fisheye lens is clearly alive and well throughout the various makes available, as a dazzling array of options is there for the taking. These fall into various categories, but essentially the main difference is between those that offer a full frame image and those that offer a circle within the normal image format. This new Meike lens offers a circular or most of a circular image depending on format, a wider than usual field of view and a very compact, inexpensive package. So far so good, now let’s see how the actual performance and usability match up.

Handling and Features

The lens is small, not overly heavy at 300g, and offers a very wide f/2 maximum aperture plus a very wide 190-degree field of view. Definitely there is a need to watch out for fingers, feet, shadows and coats edging their way into the pictures.

Hands on: Nintendo Switch review

Wearables, , , , , , , , ,

A lot is riding on the Nintendo Switch. The veteran game company, while still enjoying relative success in the handheld market despite the ubiquity of smartphones and tablets, really struggled to drum up interest in its last home gaming machine, the dualscreen Wii U. Mixed marketing messaging and a lack of games meant the Wii U never got anywhere close to reaching its potential – let alone the lofty sales figures of its predecessor, the motion-focussed Wii.

We sit here today gawping at an all new Nintendo then that, while just as innovative (and arguably challenging) in its design as its predecessor, is being positioned as a far more mainstream device, one that Nintendo expects you to bring with you practically everywhere.

2016 – 2017 Indian Roadmaster Review

Cars, , , , ,

What do you get when you fully dress a Chieftain from Indian Motorcycles? If you’re clever and remembered the title of this article, you guessed the Roadmaster and you’d be correct. If that’s the case, you might wonder why the seat height of the Roadmaster is just a tad higher than the Chieftain. The answer to that is the extra plush saddle on the Roadmaster. That is just the beginning of plush when looking at the 2017 Roadmaster, Indian’s full-time luxury tourer.

With standard features such as a premium 200W stereo, cruise control, ABS, power windshield, keyless ignition, remote locking storage, tire pressure monitoring, Pathfinder LED lights, heated seats and grips, and that gorgeous desert tan leather, the Roadmaster is the “LT” model of the Indian stable.

Samsung is throwing its hat into a very competitive ring: gaming laptops. The Notebook Odyssey 15 is the company’s latest attempt to break into that sphere, with specs aimed at everyday gamers and the low end of the market.

First displayed at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, the Odyssey will launch on Feb. 15 at $1,199.

Key Specs

The Odyssey will run on a quad-core Intel Core i7 CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU and 16GB of RAM (upgradable to 32GB). That’s enough for today’s games, but it’s not going to be a virtual reality powerhouse. It has a 15.6-inch 1080p screen; for storage, you’ll get a 128GB PCIe SSD and a 1TB HDD.

Kết quả hình ảnh cho Cherry MX Board Silent

Cherry, a German electronics company, makes the best mechanical keyboard switches on the market; if you’re a technophile, you probably know that. What you may not know, however, is that the company also sells its very own line of keyboards. The Cherry MX Board Silent ($150) employs a brand-new type of Cherry switch that aims to reduce noise without sacrificing a mechanical keyboard’s signature comfort and responsiveness.

The MX Silent switch itself works exactly as advertised, and could prove to be a real boon in the workplace. On the other hand, the keyboard could have used just a few more bells and whistles, given its high asking price. Consider this one if your office manager can expense it.

2015 – 2017 Kawasaki KLR650 Review

Cars, , , , , ,

Do you hate it? Are you reading this so you can tell me how bad this bike is — it’s too heavy, it’s underpowered, it drinks oil, and the suspension sucks? Get over it. If you already hate it, this review isn’t for you. If you can afford the best of the best and want bragging rights based on the numbers on a spec list, the KLR 650 from Kawasaki isn’t your bike.

If you don’t already hate it, are those things true? Yeah, pretty much, but I’m not sure that should dissuade you from looking at the KLR 650, even if it’s just to use as a comparison.

Design

If adventure bikes are dual-purpose tourers, then the KLR 650 is a dual-purpose go-for-a-ride-and-let-it-take-you-somewhere-fun bike.

The KLR 650 is a dual-purpose bike — the bikes from which adventure bikes were spawned. If adventure bikes are dual-purpose tourers, then the KLR 650 is a dual-purpose go-for-a-ride-and-let-it-take-you-somewhere-fun bike. Not a full-fledged tourer , but as on-road/off-road capable as a dual-purpose bike can be.

PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset review

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

We have to hand it to Sony. We love when console manufacturers pack at leasta very basic headset with each and every console they ship out. Microsoft did it for the Xbox 360 and then totally failed to follow through for the Xbox One, packing one only into specific models.

That said, while we love the pack-in PS4 mono headset that serves as a gateway into the world to voice chat and audio playback, for most gamers it just doesn’t cut it. But that’s why Sony is introducing the sequel to 2014’s PlayStation Gold Headset, the all-new PlayStation Platinum Wireless Headset.

So what’s the difference between the two? Besides a slight style change, Sony’s Platinum pair of cans are the first to offer 3D surround sound – it’s like 7.1 virtual surround sound on steroids. Only a few game developers are building it into their games at the moment (actually it’s just one: Naughty Dog for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End) but down the road it could be a staple of all first-party PlayStation titles.

Elipson Omega 100 RIAA BT review

Audio & Video, , , ,

While much of the rest of the world appears to be regressing to the rather unsavoury ideologies of a century or two ago, it is somewhat refreshing to see Elipson acting a little more progressively by nudging the turntable towards the 21st century.

The Omega 100 RIAA BT, which admittedly sounds like something a dentist would witter to his assistant as he rummages around in your mouth, adds a phono stage, USB output and Bluetooth to your trusty record player without dispensing with the company’s traditional aesthetic chic.

Features and build

It wouldn’t be the first time a hi-fi manufacturer has tacked on a lucky dip of unnecessary extras to its product in lieu of bettering its sonic performance – short of a tin opener Sellotaped to a pair of floorstanders, we’ve seen a lot of, if not all, conceivable permutations.

2015 – 2017 Honda NC700X Review

Cars, , , , ,

Adventure bikes are fairly ubiquitous these days, and Honda makes sure to get its share of that market segment with the entry-level-ish NC700X. Priced well below 10 grand with a rider-friendly engine, the NC700X can serve as a trainer bike for more serious on/off-road work, or as an affordable commuter in a strictly urban environment.

Naturally, as new genres develop the first developmentrace is to get something in the market that will establish a toehold, then the onus is on refining the product and looking for an edge in the resulting arms race as it were. The Red Rider engineers and designers cut their teeth on bigger/badder rides, and now are dropping back a bit to try and grab customers who aren’t liable to ride across some African desert or some such. Join me as I take a look at this effort and see what lessons Honda learned on the big bikes, and what features made the jump downhill.

5 things you need to know about the 2017 BMW 6 Series xDrive Cabriolet

Cars, , , , ,

Large premium cars like the 2017 BMW 6 Series have fallen victim to SUVs eating into their sales numbers, as luxury-seeking buyers increasingly transfer their affections to tall-riding, cargo-friendly options. Still, there’s one area where, with only a single exception, sport-utility vehicles haven’t been able to match their automobile equivalents in terms of appeal: convertibles.

The 2017 BMW 6 Series xDrive Cabriolet combines both the all-wheel drive tenacity associated with crossovers and SUVs with the open top freedom that is the exclusive province of convertibles. That it manages to do so in a body style that combines sleek lines, above-average interior room (for those riding up front), and a hefty dose of horsepower is a bonus for anyone seeking an executive car that stands out from the all the sport-utilities at the country club valet stand.

In 2017, Laptops Are Cool Again

CES, the consumer electronic industry’s preeminent trade show, sets the tone for the year in tech. In 2017, for the first time in a while, laptops truly stood out against a crowded showcase of TVs, smart home devices, robots and other gadgets. The standout laptops from the show weren’t necessarily thinner than prior models, but instead offered more functionality, fresh aesthetics, or eye-popping gaming or overall performance.

“2016 set the groundworks for a real change in the business … with a growing focus on revenue over sales volume, premium prices over entry-level, and different form factors (and use cases) over standard, everyday plain boxes,” NPD vice president Stephen Baker said. “It is clear, as we head into 2017, that these factors have whetted the consumer’s appetite for better, more interesting, more innovative products.”

2017 Cadillac CT6 Platinum AWD Review: Luxury, reinvented

Cars, , , , , , , , , ,

Cadillac could’ve followed its luxury rivals, but instead the 2017 CT6 rethinks its segment, injecting both sporting enthusiasm and style into an unabashedly tech-savvy sedan. Though GM’s luxury arm has been making strides with its V Series over the past few years, charming fans of all-American muscle with potent four-door after potent four-door, the real challenge has been expanding from that niche and standing toe-to-toe with the best Germany has to offer. In top-of-the-line CT6 Platinum AWD form, they’ve succeeded.

The CT6 is, to my eyes anyway, the best looking car in Cadillac‘s current line-up. Its front is a particular success, with the broad, sculpted grille looking suitably imposing though less fussy than some earlier iterations. Cadillac’s designers apparently made a conscious decision to move away from the more overt creases and slashes of previous cars; the result is something that can happily go up against the E-Class and 5 Series. Distinctive and tasteful, but sharp with it.

2016 – 2017 Victory Vegas / Vegas 8-Ball Review

Cars, , ,

Even though Victory and Indian Motorcycles both fall under the Polaris Industries Inc. umbrella, the products offered by each company are as chalk to cheese. Indian tends to embrace the past, while Victory looks to the future. The Vegas line represents the factory’s attempt to define the contemporary American, bare cruiser -market.

After a three-year hiatus, the Vegas base model made it onto the 2016 lineup in Sunset Red sheet metal with a blackout drivetrain and bits of chrome while the 8-Ball version takes this Victory all the way over to the dark side with a fully blacked-out, custom look sure to appeal to the domestic crowd. These colors carried forward to 2017. End result: a naked cruiser that elevates understatement to an art form. In fact, the bare-cruiser design is something of a blank canvas for custom builders, and there are projects out from Rick Fairless and the Ness family, just to name a few.

Piega Classic 3.0 review

Audio & Video, , ,

Never heard of Piega? We wouldn’t blame you, particularly if you live in the UK.

This Swiss speaker manufacturer was founded back in 1986, but over the decades its presence in the British market has been sporadic at best.

That’s a shame, because the company makes some hugely capable designs, and has specialised in ribbon drive units from the beginning.

Build

Look at the current range and you’ll not only find in-house ribbon tweeters but clever co-axial designs that couple tweeter and midrange in a single array – a bit like a ribbon version of Tannoy’s celebrated Dual Concentric drivers.

If there was a theme of CES 2017 it was Alexa-enabled smart tech. If Alexa hasn’t invaded your home yet, expect her to do so this year.

And we don’t just mean in an Amazon Echo speaker. Alexa isn’t bound by the walls of an Echo chamber; the Alexa Voice Service API means she’s able to turn up in practically any connected product with a microphone and a speaker.

The best Amazon Alexa devices

We’re not talking about Alexa integrations here – i.e. smart tech that can be controlled using Alexa from another device, such as when you tell your Echo Dot to turn up the temperature of your smart thermostat or dim the brightness on your smart lightbulbs. We’re talking about baked-in Alexa – devices that have the digital assistant built into their very fabric.
