Chuwi Hi10 Plus Review

Once upon a time, the big names in the device market tried to put Google’s Android and Microsoft’s Windows side by side on the same machine. Neither platform maker was happy and the likes of Samsung and ASUS backed out for fear of earning their ire. This gave other smaller players, like Chuwi here, to thrive in a market very few dared. The Chuwi Hi10 Plus represents one of the latest of such devices, combining the power of Windows 10 with the mobility of Android in one affordable package. But how does that tempting promise perform in practice? We take the Chuwi Hi10 Plus for a whirlwind tour to find out.

Taming expectations

Let’s address the elephant in the room from the start. This is no Microsoft Surface 3. It is almost too easy to compare the two, especially considering how similar they are underneath. But one is a $499 device and the other is $199. And while there could be some miracles like that in the smartphone world, it’s admittedly harder to pull off when talking about tablets, especially 2-in-1 PCs. When you put your price that low, something has to give.

2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R Review: First Ride

A stunning blasted moonscape is a good way to describe the natural beauty of Peru’s Nasca Desert. And that moonscape makes a particularly good place to test a fast and large adventure-touring motorcycle like the new 2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R.

KTM has sold more than 75,000 adventure motorcycles since 1993, and its re-named these large long-distance dirt bikes as “Travel Enduros.” I think that does a pretty good job of describing what these giant dirt bikes are all about. Honestly, we’d listen no matter what KTM called them, seeing as it has 56 official factory riders competing all around the globe for 2017, most of them in the dirt. Yes, KTM’s entire reputation was built in the world of serious enduro and motocross competition.

The 2016 season was a record year for KTM in terms of unit sales and also from championship totals. There is n

Origin PC Omni review

origin-pc-omni-08-169

There’s no denying that Origin PC’s Omni custom-build all-in-one is fast, or that with its 34-inch curved display it delivers a great gaming experience. It’s expensive, but doesn’t seem overpriced when compared to similarly equipped systems. And because it’s almost fully upgradable, at least given the present state of components, it’s not a bad investment. And I can see some advantages. For instance, if you want the power of a high-end gaming system but a bit more elegant look than you typically find from a market segment with a design aesthetic that tends more towards letting it all hang out than hiding it away. (I kind of want it to have a transparent back, though.)

But you can’t really consider it a space saver thanks to that 34-inch display, unless you plan to hang it on the wall. Yes, you can.

2017 KTM 390 Duke Review

The moto market is spoiled for lustful choices in the high-end arena, but creating a desirable motorcycle at a budget price is a more challenging achievement. The KTM 390 Duke has been entertaining us with its unequaled balance of style, performance and value since we first took the terrific little funster for a spin in 2015, and it rightfully earned its place as Best Entry-Level Motorcycle in our annual MOBO awards. For 2017, the little Duke gets even more desirable by offering greater comfort, higher technology and a bit more power.

Let’s start with the aspect of a bike that first makes it attractive to a rider – appearance. It’s not easy to spawn a frugal machine that looks expensive, but the 390 Duke pulls off that feat better than any other reasonably priced roadster in recent memory. The sharp creases of its new bodywork yield a bold and contemporary visage, enabling its rider to hold his or her head high at the local bike night.

Creative Sound BlasterX Siege K04 review

Along with their new Vanguard K08 gaming keyboard, Creative has also thrown its hat into the gaming mouse ring, with the Sound BlasterX Siege M04.

As the two were developed in unison, they share the use of Omron switches, have the Aurora lighting technology and use the same feature customisation tool.

And, while the K08 keyboard had a few wrinkles, the Siege K04 Gaming Mouse is an altogether more confident assault on a notoriously tough market sector.

Design

Leaving illumination and button customisation aside for now, what has the Siege K04 gaming mouse got in abundance?

The word ‘poise’ comes to mind. The overall shape, specification and button positions all appear good on the first inspection. And, the more we used this pointing device, the better the experience got – for the most part.

2018 Honda Civic Si Coupe Review

The Honda Civic has been around for the last 45 years, and boy has it been a rollercoaster ride. Some of the more recent generations are considered flops, while others are regarded as much more. For 2016, Honda introduced the tenth-generation Civic, a model designed around Honda’s new compact global platform, featuring a fastback design and some serious improvement to the interior over previous models. Best of all, the Civic Type R hatchback is finally coming to the U.S., but so is a new Si. The new Si comes with a turbocharged engine for the first time ever, displacing 1.5-liter and delivering 205 horsepower. It’s a few ponies short of what everyone hoped for, but not all is lost. It also gets its own styling cues to set it apart, not only from the standard Civic but, from the Type R as well, making it a well-rounded model even if it doesn’t balance well between the standard Civic and Range-topping Type R.

Long story short, the new Si is the torquiest Si ever made. It weighs a bit less and includes more upscale features like active shock absorbers. There’s even a limited-slip differential turning the front wheels.

Hands on: ZTE Quartz review

ZTE, best known for its excellent budget-priced phones like the ZTE Axon 7, is back to shake up the smartwatch market. The ZTE Quartz is the company’s first Android Wear smartwatch and after our early impressions, it looks like a winner.

For under $200, you get a 1.4-inch circular AMOLED display (without a flat tire), the latest Snapdragon 2100 wearables chip, a 500mAh battery and 3G cellular service. That’s right; you can use the ZTE Quartz without needing your phone nearby to provide data or location services.

With such impressive specs for such a low price, the ZTE Quartz could be extremely tempting for those who haven’t jumped on the smartwatch bandwagon yet, and maybe even for those who have before.

Sony BDP-S3700 review

Over the past four years, Sony’s budget Blu-ray players have won their category at the What Hi-Fi? Awards three times, which is an astounding achievement. As such, any new player that comes into our testing room has a lot to live up to.

Step forward the BDP-S3700, the company’s latest low-cost Blu-ray player. We’re hoping this one hits the high standards we’ve come to expect from Sony.

Starting at the extremes, the Sony handles a film’s blacks and whites well. During the climax of Monsters University, where Mike and Sulley have to escape the human world by scaring a group of adult camp rangers, the BDP-S3700 reveals the notches and scratches in the wood even in the dark corners of the log cabin.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X Full Review : WHY DO WE LOVE XIAOMI SO MUCH?

Today we have a review Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X. My acquaintance with Xiaomi started with the model Redmi 4 Prime, from which I was delighted. I believe that for the Chinese giant – this is a new page in the history of the company, because the latest products Redmi 4 / Redmi Note 4 line are not just powerful, but also stylish. The devices have their own external zest and they really want to admire.

Review Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X: WHY DO WE LOVE XIAOMI SO MUCH?

Xiaomi as always: minimalist design and minimal equipment. It seems to me that even if humanity enters a new technological era, the only thing that will remain unchanged is a white box with a proprietary “Mi”, a neatly embedded smartphone and charging with a wire. Yes, there is not enough quality headset and at least some case or bumper.

Samsung Gear S3 vs Huawei Watch 2 : Sporty smartwatches go head to head

The Huawei Watch 2 and the Samsung Gear S3 are smartwatches that come in two different models. For something more suit-friendly, both offer Classic models with more luxurious designs. If you want something to hit the gym with, then cast your attention at the Gear S3 Frontier or the Huawei Watch 2 Sport.

Whichever model you go for, you’re guaranteed features. But there are plenty to separate the two sets of smartwatches, most notably in the software department.

So how do the two compare? We’ve lived extensively with both and here’s our breakdown of how the Gear S3 fares against the Huawei Watch 2.

What is the Denon X4300?

The Denon AVR-X4300H is the manufacturer’s latest mid-range AV Receiver, sitting just below the 11-channel AVR-X6300H and the flagship AVR-X7200WA. The X4300 is a 9-channel amplifier with extensive surround sound support including immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and even, for a fee, Auro-3D. The receiver has a host of useful features such as HDMI inputs that support 4K, High Dynamic Range, Wide Colour Gamut and HDCP 2.2 copy protection. The X4300H also supports Denon’s HEOS multiroom system, which means you can send audio to and from the AVR as part of a home network. Incredibly all this can be had for just £799 as at the time of writing (April 2017), which means that if it delivers the goods in terms of performance, the Denon AVR-X4300 could be something of a bargain.

With a maximum diameter of 90mm and a length of 152mm, the Fujifilm GF 120mm f4 R LM OIS WR Macro is a short telephoto fixed focal length optic that’s fairly well-suited to the GFX 50S camera that we tested it with.

Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX vs 1050 Ti StormX – “passive” vs “active” GPU (benchmarks and comparison)

In the realm of GPUs there is a constant strife for achieving balance between performance and noise. With the Pascal generation, NVIDIA managed to achieve really good hardware optimization and deliver good performance out of a 75 W graphics card. Yes, we are talking about the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. It is a good prerequisite for us to see various iterations by manufacturers. Palit even made a passively cooled model (cooling without own airflow generation – without a fan, in other words). The model’s name is Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX and we would like to compare it to the other GTX 1050 Ti model by Palit – StormX.

These graphics cards have similar specifications – 1290 MHz base core clock and 1392 MHz boos core clock of the 768 CUDA cores. They also have 4GB GDDR5 memory with 128-bit bus. As for the memory bandwidth – it is 112 GB/sec. Additionally, each of the two GPUs has one Dual-Link DVI port, an HDMI output and one Display Port. They also support all technologies characteristic.

Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro Hands-on Initial Review : First Samsung Phone With 6GB of RAM

We go hands-on with the C9 Pro

Despite being one of the biggest manufacturers in the world, Samsung hasn’t really come out with a phone with 6GB of RAM, Galaxy S8+ special editions notwithstanding. It’s an odd conundrum, especially since 6GB RAM is expected from most flagship phones nowadays.

But unknown to most, Samsung does have a phone with that much RAM, but until now it was only available in countries like China and India. Today we’re finally getting our hands on the Galaxy C9 Pro, a device first announced back in October of last year to see if the wait was really worth it for this particular phablet.

Fitbit Flex 2 v Fitbit Charge 2 : Which fitness tracker is best for you?

The second generation goes head to head

Fitbit went on somewhat of a fitness tracker release surge last year, dropping four models for the activity conscious to strap onto their wrists. It hasn’t stopped this year either, releasing the Alta HR and issuing a beefy upgrade to the Fibit Blaze. With such a range of choice being offered, though, it can be a challenge to figure out which deserves a place in your everyday life.

Fitbit Flex 2 v Fitbit Charge 2

That’s why we’re here to take a deep-dive into what the Flex 2 and Charge 2, two of Fitbit’s sequel lines, are capable of and how they stack up against each other. Here’s an in-depth comparison of the two side by side.

Panasonic Eluga Ray Max Hands-on Review : IT HAS SPECIAL FEATURE!

JBL Flip 4 review

jbl-flip-4-21

At first glance, JBL’s Flip 4 Bluetooth portable speaker looks very similar to 2016’s Flip 3. But looks can be deceiving: it’s actually a slightly bigger speaker, weighing 1.14 lbs (517 g) — 0.14 pound more than its predecessor — and it’s covered in more durable fabric with a tighter weave. As part of that external design change, the Flip 4 gets some changes on the inside, including new drivers and a presumably bigger battery that delivers 12 hours of battery life instead of the Flip 3’s 10 hours. The speaker is also now fully waterproof instead of just splashproof.

Like the Flip 3, the Flip 4 can be stood up vertically or laid down horizontally — thus its Flip moniker — and comes with a removable lanyard that allows you to hang the speaker from a shower head, a branch outside or a loop on your backpack. Available in six colors, it costs $100 or £120. Official Australia availability isn’t yet known, but that US price converts to about AU$140.

Top 10 Motorcycles For Millennials

I was a little surprised my kid liked the new Honda Rebel 500 as much as he did last week, but then all of us are surprised by our offspring, aren’t we? His daily driver lately is my old Yamaha R1. He finally got around to getting his motorcycle endorsement last month – on our borrowed KTM Super Duke GT… so he does have quite a varied motorcycle background for a kid who’s only 23 years old. In an effort to understand the younger moto-mentality, and as a service to all the manufacturers trying to figure out what the hell millennial motorcyclists want, anyway, I drilled further into my child’s mind to get down to the Top 10 of things.

He says he’s not a hipster, which he defines as “you want to seem retro and rustic but you aren’t”, but I think he’s in denial; he’d grow the beard if he could. Also, like many millennials, he has no conception of the value of a dollar. Why not rank these roughly in order of bikes he might actually be able to afford someday? Matter of fact, it looks like most of the OEMs are making appealing bikes, most of which are far less expensive than what the typical Boomer spends for a bagger or a tricked-out adventure bike. Here’s the kid’s list of the best motorcycles for millennials.

How 5G on wearables will make the smartphone era look like a warm-up

It’ll become ubiquitous, and then everything will change

5G is not just about speed. It may seem like just a logical step on from current 4G networks, but 5G promises an entirely new époque in mobile connectivity. For wearables, it’s about being untethered and unlimited; think built-in 5G radios capable of a download rate of 20gbps, and upload of 10gbps. That’s about 100 times faster than 4G. Yeah, now you see why it’s a big deal.

The telecoms industry has been discussing 5G networks for some years, and field trials and experiments by the likes of Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, AT&T, and more are ongoing, but it now appears that we could see the first 5G networks appearing next year at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea – home to one of the industry’s main movers on 5G, SK Telecom.

V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless review

v-moda-crossfade-wireless-2-headphones-01

The first thing you’ll notice about V-Moda’s new $330 Crossfade 2 Wireless headphone is that it’s a little more comfortable than its predecessor. (It retails for £300 in the UK; it’s not officially available in Australia, but the US price converts to about AU$435.) The extra comfort comes from its new, thicker earpads. They aren’t quite as deep as the optional XL earpads you could purchase for V-Moda’s earlier full-size headphones, but they do offer more cushioning.

Why the change? Popular demand. V-Moda customers kept requesting the company include the larger earpads with its headphones, so it did. The new earpads are more like a medium or large size rather than an extra large size.

2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 Coupe Review

The GLC Coupe is a baby in Mercedes’ lineup, featuring a hatchback body with raised suspension to go with a 241-horsepower engine and all the luxury features one has come to expect from German vehicles. The GLC Coupe has barely started gracing showrooms, but the lineup is now complete with the GCL43 Coupe and the newly announced GLC63 and GLC63 S Coupe. Powered by an AMG, 4.0-liter V-8, you can stare down the competition with either 476 horsepower in standard form or 510 horsepower in S form. Keep in mind that this is the same engine used in the AMG GT family as is that prominent Panamericana grille that graces the nose of the beast. Add the motivation together with the grille and the more aggressive fascias, and you’ve got yourself the perfect mix of power, style, space, comfort, and agility all in one Germanly sexy package.

If there’s one thing we can be sure of, it’s that humans, as a species, are never happy with what they have and always want more. It’s the same reason brands like Microsoft and Sony can get away with producing a gaming system, then producing a “slimmer” model just a few years later.

Onkyo SBT-A500 review

While 4K and HDR hog the TV limelight at the moment, the latest audio “must-have” is atmospheric audio. In 2017 you’re going to see a lot of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X as manufacturers try to pitch those atmospheric audio formats — and the new gear they require — at the mainstream.

For every excellent Atmos device like the Samsung HW-K950, though, there is unfortunately one of these: the Onkyo SBT-A500. The best we can say is that this product looks cool, and it has a lot of features. However, with sound quality that isn’t anywhere near the level you’d expect at the price, no amount of attractive design and goosed-up extras can make up for it. Ideally this sound bar should drop in price by half before we’d consider recommending it.

The SBT-A500 is available for $999, with UK and Australian pricing and availability yet to be announced.

Audiovector SR3 Signature review

We like upgradable hi-fi. It’s an excellent way to preserve your initial investment and still get an improvement in sound.

Brands like Naim and Cyrus have built their business on modular electronic designs that can be improved by the addition of an external power supply or internal modification.

We’re not used to seeing such a flexible approach taken with speakers, and that’s what makes Danish brand Audiovector such an interesting company.

Its product ranges are organised around a base cabinet – floorstanding in the case of the SR3s – and then the rest of the line-up uses ever-more-advanced drive units, crossovers and structural changes to improve the performance as the price increases.

The limits of semi-autonomous driving tech: We go Volvo Pilot Assist II winter testing

Semi-autonomous automotive tech has infiltrated a host of modern cars, but the luxury segment sees more than its fair share of systems designed to do as much of the driving for you as is legally possible. Unfortunately, when you pick up the keys to your new car or truck, there’s very seldom any information provided about how and when you should use any of these features – let alone a discussion of situations where it might be dangerous to rely on them.

It’s a frustrating state of affairs as we begin the slow, and ultimately drawn out transition from the status quo to a distant future where legitimate self-driving cars are commonplace. In the meantime, we’re dealing with a host of competing technologies, opaque functionality, and a variety of user interfaces that aren’t always adequate when it comes to communicating what’s actually happening when you push that button on the dashboard.

Kate Spade Metro Grand review : Chicer than your average hybrid

When is a smartwatch not a smartwatch? When it looks like this. Kate Spade – and Fossil – are changing the game around what a connected accessory looks and feels like and the Metro Grand is at the vanguard of changing what we expect from our wristwatches. Beautifully designed, this will made a good all day (and night) tracker, despite some niggles in use.

Within the realm of wearables, the Kate Spade Metro Grand is the opposite to what you’d think when you think ‘smartwatch’. It’s small, there’s no screen, it’s shiny, it says ‘cheers!’ on the watch face.

Yet here it is, part of the Fossil Group’s mammoth wearable tech line-up and the first piece of connected Kate Spade gear we’ve got our hands on for a test.

Kate Spade Metro Grand

It’s a hybrid smartwatch, aimed unabashedly at women, and all the better for it. It’s also a work in progress that finds itself a few tweaks short of a blueprint for future hybrid connected designer watches.

ASUS Zenfone Live Hands-on Initial Review : Phone For The Livestream Generation

We go hands-on with ASUS’ recently announced Zenfone Live

Despite ASUS launching several Zenfone 3 devices last year, the Taiwanese company has always had a hole in its lineup in the budget segment. And while price cuts have brought down the pricing of the 5.2-inch Zenfone 3 Max to under 10K, there hasn’t really been a solid smartphone contender for the budget market since last year.

Well, that ends today – ASUS launched their Zenfone Live alongside the Zenfone Zoom in two simultaneous launches earlier tonight. While the Zenfone Live’s existence compliments ASUS’ current ZenFone Go smartphone instead of outright replacing it, it’s really the best budget smartphone that ASUS has in its stable right now.
