Review – MNML case line up for the Google Pixel 4a. #Tech #MNML #Pixel4a

Recently we checked out the iPhone 11 case line up and last year the Pixel 4 now this time around it is the all new Pixel 4a case line up from our friends at MNML, Again these are simple clean cases with no branding and access to all ports and a minimal design hence the name. One thing to keep in mind is you will need a screen protector as the front will be exposed to the elements but overall a nice clean case for your phone that is thin..

The Pixel 4a was made for minimalists. Compliment your Pixel 4a with a MNML Case for the ultimate one-two combo.

. Slim, sleek design preserves the original look and feel of your phone without adding excess bulk
. Raised back camera bump protects your world-class camera from scratches
. Precision cutouts around curved glass screen and speakers allow for unhampered media consumption

T-Pain and Herman Li To Rock Dream Laptop In Battle Of The Hands. #ROG #Tech

The ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is no ordinary laptop. So when Republic of Gamers (ROG) were thinking about the best way to showcase their machine’s abundant high-end abilities, it was always going to take something a little less than ordinary to fulfil the brief. Enter stage left our two teams: fronted by T-Pain and Herman Li, who — alongside animation talents Rafael Varona and Kingdom of Something — have been tasked with creating a mini-masterpiece with their new toys.

Herman Li is a British Chinese musician and co-lead guitar with London’s premier power metal band, Dragonforce. His co-conspirators are the Amsterdam-based animation team, Kingdom of Something. Hoping to dash the hopes of these European dreamers is American rapper, songwriter and record producer, T-Pain. His artistic ally being Rafael Varona — a South American animator based in Western Europe but with roots firmly planted in his native Peru.

Both teams have within their ranks huge community engagement on social media platforms like twitter, Facebook and Instagram. This support will be key to the success of their projects and will also see two lucky winners score their very own ROG Zephyrus Duo 15s — as well as the chance to collaborate with the teams on their projects. Runners-up prizes also include high-end ROG hardware (detailed below).

The battle lines are drawn, the two teams are tasked with creating an animated short film with accompanying musical score; with the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 offering all the creative firepower they’ll need. The laptop behind each team has a patented ROG ScreenPad, a secondary display, innovative liquid metal cooling and a groundbreaking thermal design unleashIng peak power from a 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 CPU and NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ GPU; it will also run 48GB of the fastest 3200-DDR4 RAM. Meaning our creative teams certainly shouldn’t encounter any issues when collaborating across their respective music and animation projects.

Industrial designer, Adrian Godin-Bernard, suggests the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 will easily handle the demands placed on it by the two teams: “The laptop can handle any kind of 3D rendering for hours without any problems at all. In terms of its music-making abilities there are also zero latency issues. The cutting edge specs mean this baby eats even the most resource-sapping music production projects — for breakfast, lunch and dinner!”

Angela Chang, ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 product manager explains how screen choices will be set up for ‘Art of the Duo’ teams: “For the main display we have two different alternatives that both balance the needs of gamers and creators. The first option provides a 300Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time; perfect for pro-level gaming. The second option, is a more professional creator-oriented set-up with a 4K display — this is the one our two creative teams will be using here.”

Battle commences on August 13.

Review – The Sharp Party Speaker PS-919 #Sharp #PS919 #Tech #Speaker

Need a new speaker for the summer or what is left of it well this speaker is one to check out with all the features on board and some really thumping bass to go along with it, Joking aside about the summer this is an ideal house speaker too and will certainly fill a large room easily and it looks well and built well and will get those tunes going in no time,this is loud it packs a punch WITH A 130W and has other features thrown in for good measure.

Bigger than many portable speakers it is still portable and can be used anywhere and it has really nice lights on the front and sides too to spice up the effects,most speakers come with no lights so this one is different, there is easy to use controls too and it is IPX5 rated and can also act as a powerbank should you need to charge your phone or tablet which is handy especially outdoors if you are streaming from your smartphone or tablet. This has 14 hours of battery life so it will easily last a good night in the back garden or house or even at a picnic somewhere.

CLICK TO ENLARGE

 

The controls are great and place well on top of the speaker where you can skip,reverse,play pause and change your volume with nice rounded buttons that sink into the top of the speaker which is easy to navigate, on the underside you have rubber footing too and a tripod mount should you wish to use one, the build is solid and will take a beating by the looks of it and you have a handle on the rear which makes it easy to pick up,, check out the video below for a full tour and sound test and hear that bass go. One thing I might add if you have the money I would buy a second one just to enhance things even more.

Review – ClutchIt – The ideal phone accessory that can be used anywhere. #Wiplabs #ClutchIt #Tech

I have countless phone accessories here in the house some of which still to be reviewed but this one tops the list including some of the reviews I have done before due to several factors, It has a top notch build quality and it has something missing from many phone holders as such which is the ability to manoeuvre. Yes others do have the ability to do so but this has ball joints both ends,it is not made from plastic not does it have expandable grips or dials to tighten or loosen the gadget to get that right fix not will it break in a few weeks use,even days as some have done.

It is made with 7000 series aluminium and Neodymium  magnets which are at both ends and boy they are strong and have a great grip,this can be used anywhere you have a flat surface, You get extra tags and 3M stickers in the box so you can place them wherever suits and use it in more than your home you can use in your car,the back garden in the shower if you are one of those,use it for selfies or videos,put it over or beside your cooker or even place it beside your laptop or pc if you have a set up at home where it works it is that portable.

What I like best is the pivot movement both ends which makes it simple to set at any angle so it suits everyone and one fixed its not going to budge once placed,it is best to let the magnet settle for a day or so for ultimate grip and the more of these you have the better you can move it around the house and bring it into your car too, I have just bought two new vehicles and it will be a welcome accessory replacing the window mount because they do not last are too messy and clunky and you just need to rest your mobile on the magnet with no hassle at all and it has not fallen off yet having tested for a few days. See their own video here and check out ours below.

Review – The Jam Athlete TWS earbuds. #JamAudio #TWS #Tech

If you are on the lookout for some new True Wireless and are on a budget these are something to check out and do a great job at the price they come in at and are ideal for fitness folk, One thing that is a staple for fitness gurus is having true wireless that will not budge and these certainly do not move after my testing.

When it comes to sound they do a decent job too and have all the controls at your fingertips with a clicky button rather than one you tap which works best for me but a touch sensitive area is no different either for me. The design and fit is spot on and there is a selection of tips to get that right fit that will give you some isolation. The sound is good overall and well balanced not the best in the world but for the price you pay here you really cant complain,they sound good overall on calls and using the likes of netflix and you tube with no lag latency noticed.  Battery life is also decent here too and you get around 6 hours of use in total but overall 30 with the case on the go which is pretty good. See the first look of the EXEC and ATHLETE
