2019 Ducati Diavel 1260S Review – First Ride

Motorcycles, , , ,

When a thing isn’t like the other things

Jet lag is the price I pay for some good parts of life, like flying to Spain’s Costa del Sol to ride Ducati’s pretty-much-all-new Diavel 1260S. And it was a very good part, because Spain has very good roads, and the Diavel 1260S is a very good motorcycle.

Yeah, I said it: an unqualified very good motorcycle, at least based on about 200 miles of riding on smooth, winding roads. It’s fast, it’s easy to ride, it looks good and works as a package.

Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series 5.1 Speaker Package Review : Acoustical Alchemy

Audio & Video, , ,

What is the Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series

The Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series is the entry point in the company’s latest range of speakers, boasting certain features first introduced in the flagship 800 Series. Primary of these is the use of B&W’s new Continuum driver, which replaces the speaker manufacturer’s traditional Kevlar weave in the hope of delivering a superior level of audio performance.

We got our first taste of Continuum when reviewing the superb mid-range 700 Series, and the 600 Series offers many of the same performance benefits at a considerably lower price.

Laptops with Nvidia RTX 2070 / 2070 Max-Q graphics (the complete list)

Computers & IT, , , ,

This article covers gaming laptops with RTX 2070 and RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics chips, the mid-tier options available as part of the 2019/2020 Nvidia Turing platform.

RTX 2070 devices slot right in-between the existing RTX 2060 and 2080 models, as not much pricier and slightly faster than the 2060 options, especially in applications that benefit from the extra Tencer Cores and improved RayTracing abilities, but at the same time also significantly cheaper than the RTX 2080 variants, without a significant loss in performance.

7 Best Features of the Huawei P30 Pro

7 Best Features of the Huawei P30 Pro

Phones, , ,

Huawei has officially unveiled their latest flagship smartphones, the P30, and P30 Pro. Pretty sure that most of you are paying more attention at the latter so we’re going to show you the seven best features of the Huawei P30 Pro.

Premium build

As expected, the Huawei P30 Pro features a premium build thanks to the metal frame with a glass front and back. Design-wise, we think that it’s like a mix between the Mate 20 and P20 Pro, which is not bad. It sports a tiny notch, thin bezels, and glass that curves on the sides to make it feel thinner.

Get to grips with Apple’s potentially life-saving health feature

Apple took a big step into health monitoring with the Apple Watch Series 4, as the smartwatch became the first to feature the capability of giving an ECG reading – or EKG, if you prefer.

Now, your everyday Apple Watch is armed with the ability to detect irregular heart rhythms – a symptom of atrial fibrillation – and has graduated from fitness tracker to life-saving tech. After coming to the US first, the ECG app is now also rolling out to the UK and 18 other countries.

Set your songs free with a wireless speaker

The category of wireless speakers is a broad church. If you just want something portable for blaring out tunes on the beach, there are plenty of decent models for well under £100. But if you’re after something a bit more versatile, with options like AirPlay, voice controls, multi-room playback and more, you’re equally as well spoiled.

Increasingly, wireless speakers boast smart skills too, with voice assistants like Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant onboard. That means they can be controlled just by speaking, and can take charge of other smart home appliances like your lights and thermostat.

Whatever your bag, we have a great recommendation for you. Read on for our pick of the best wireless speakers, based on our exhaustive, in-depth reviews.

2019 Asus ZenBooks UX392 and UX431 – what to expect

2019 Asus ZenBooks UX392 and UX431 – what to expect

Computers & IT,

Following the current trend of shrinking laptop bezels, Asus announced two updated ZenBook series that will be available in 2019, alongside the already existing ZenBook lines with thin bezels launched in the second half of 2018 (UX333, UX433 and UX533).

One of them is the ZenBook UX392, an expected refresh of the popular UX391 series, while the other is a rather unexpected ZenBook UX431, which seems like a slightly refined variant of the UX433 line.

We’ll talk about both of these in the following rows, covering the novelties, their strong-points and the potential quirks you should look into if you decide to get them before we publish our detailed reviews, as we as comparing them to the previous and other existing models you can find in stores these days.

2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factor Review: Mugello Tested

Motorcycles, , ,

A decade ago, Aprilia unleased the RSV4 and it immediately captured the attention of sportbike riders across the globe. In that time, the RSV4 has built a well-deserved reputation on its stout chassis, massively powerful V4 engine, and predictable handling characteristics. That wasn’t just by chance; the Noale-based factory has revisited the Italian Superbike every two years, teasing out more power, massaging the chassis, and upgrading electronics to keep it at the pointy end of the liter bike class.

Meet Huawei’s answer to the Fitbit Inspire

With new versions of its Watch GT smartwatch and a range of stylish smartglasses hogging the wearable limelight at Huawei’s P30 smartphone launch, the Huawei Band 3 was largely ignored.

The company’s new fitness tracker, which sits below the Huawei Band 3 Pro is more Fitbit Inspire rival than an alternative to buying a Charge 3. It doesn’t have the built-in GPS or PPG sensor you’ll find in the Band 3 Pro, but that’s not to say that you’re getting shortchanged with features on the Band 3.

Meet the Galaxy A70: Samsung’s tall, thin mid-ranger

Beyond the super-powerful S10 range, Samsung has a decent stable of mid-range handsets that also come under the Galaxy brand. Now the company has revealed a new member of the family: the Galaxy A70, a tall and thin device with similar specifications to the A50.

The 20:9 aspect ratio means that the 6.7-inch, 1080 x 2400 screen shouldn’t be wholly unwieldy, but it’s a little unusual: a bit thinner than Samsung’s other phones while not quite reaching the 21:9 ratio of Sony’s new midrangers.

The 2020 Kia Telluride Brings Serious Game to the Three-Row-SUV Space

Cars, , , ,

Staying true to Kia’s value formula, the Telluride mixes in a surprising amount of luxury and refinement.

Remember the Kia Borrego, the homely, body-on-frame, three-row SUV that launched for 2009 and into a recession, soaring fuel prices, and a market shift to car-based crossovers? That ill-fated SUV met its demise after only 22,663 were sold. It remains a textbook example of poor timing and bad luck. Fast forward a decade to a stronger economy, lower fuel prices, and a thriving market for larger vehicles, and the new-for-2020 Kia Telluride will erase the Borrego’s failure faster than you can say “crossover apocalypse.”

The OPPO F11 Pro has launched in the Philippines. If you’re curious to know if it’s worth it, I listed down its five best features which makes it a great daily driver. Let’s start!

Premium and Symmetric design

What I like in the F11 Pro is its glossy gradient pattern at the back. There are two colors, the Thunder Black and the Aurora Green, in which I like the former more. Aside from that, the rear camera placement and the pop-up camera are all located in the middle, making it look symmetric and pleasing to the eyes.

For the past several years, Sigma’s ART series lenses have been among the best on the market, and both of these lenses are excellent. But which one should you buy?

When I heard that Sony would be releasing a new 24mm f/1.4 G Master lens this winter, I immediately wondered how it would compare to the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 ART lens that has been considered one of the best on the market by reviewers over the past couple of years, and has recently been made available in Sony E-mount. The Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM lens costs $1398, while the Sigma only costs $850, making it an attractive option, on the surface.
