Hands-on review: GoPro Hero5 Session
The GoPro Hero5 Session is the small, cube-shaped action camera that’s now capable of shooting stabilized 4K video and capturing all sorts of new wide angles. It’s the scrappy alternative to the new GoPro Hero5 Black, and surprisingly it shares many of the top-end specs within its more compact camera frame. This is a big…

Hands-on review: Jumper EZpad 5S
Microsoft’s Surface 3 was, at least in the subdued PC market, a relative success, selling well despite a rather steep price point for what it provides hardware-wise (something we criticised). At nearly £500 ($ 690 in the US, which is around AU$ 920) when you factor in the detachable keyboard and the stylus, it comes…

Hands-on review: Updated: iPhone 7 Plus
Apple’s recent strategy to bring out an iPhablet that takes all the best bits of the smaller iPhone has been a strong one – but this year, the iPhone 7 Plus is a phone that’s markedly better than the smaller model. That’s mostly achieved through two things: the battery life and innovative camera. The former…

Hands-on review: Apple Watch Series 2
It’s been two years since the first Apple Watch was unveiled, and in that time the wearables market has changed considerably – but what can’t be denied is that Tim Cook’s crew made the best-selling smartwatch by some distance, and has refined that in some key areas for the Apple Watch Series 2. That doesn’t…

Now with the Gram 15, LG says it has introduced the world’s lightest 15.6-inch laptop and with the Gram 15 Weighing in at 0.98kg (2.16 pounds) – the same as…

Hands-on review: CES 2016: Ford Alexa voice control
If I were to lie on the sofa at home right now and shout at someone to start my car, I’d (at best) be greeted with an icy, deathly stare. But later this year things are going to change, as Ford’s teamed up with Amazon to bring the latter brand’s Echo device into the car…

Hands-on review: CES 2016: Razer Blade Stealth
Razer has been chasing the dream of a thin but capable gaming laptop for a few years now, but I think it has finally pulled it off with the Razer Blade Stealth. Self-categorized as a gaming Ultrabook, the 12.5-inch machine is amazingly thin, with a beautiful screen and packing a fast processor. But when you’re…

Hands-on review: CES 2016: UA Band
In the past few years, just about every major tech company has entered the wearables sector in some form. Except for HTC, that is. When we finally got a peek of the HTC Grip at last year’s Mobile World Congress, we liked what we saw, but it quickly disappeared. Now, it’s back, though not without…
