AIWA RS-55 review: A retro pocket radio with a modern punch

By
AIWA RS-55 Review: Retro Style Meets Modern Sensitivity In an era dominated by digital streaming and smart speakers, there is a unique satisfaction in the tactile click of an analog dial. For my latest test, I went back to basics with the AIWA RS-55 AM/FM receiver . AIWA is a legendary Japanese brand, and with the RS-55, they’ve managed to capture a vintage aesthetic without sacrificing the build quality we expect today.

TP-Link AC1300 Archer T4U dual band wireless adapter - test and review

TP-Link AC1300 Archer T4U review

We have bought and tested many TP-Link devices in the last couple of years and most of them left very positive impressions. Today we are reviewing another of their products, dedicated to fast wireless technology - the TP-Link AC1300 Archer T4U dual band wireless adapter.

This USB adapter is the perfect add-on for desktops and laptops with low-end Wi-Fi card for improved range and speed of the wireless network. 

Previously we tested and actually we are still using the compact TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U Nano Wireless USB adapter which does a great job, especially for a device of its size and price.

The AC1300 Archer T4U on the other hand has bigger dimensions and is more powerful. To learn more about its performance specs, check the list below:

The device itself is foldable so you can also save space when not in use but if you want to get maximum range than unfold after plugging it in the USB port (Super Speed USB 3.0 Port supported).

TP-Link AC1300 Archer T4U - product price

We researched this product prior making this review and noticed that prices for the Archer T4U vary a lot depending on your location - in United States and North America in general it was usually between $25-40. The average asking price in UK was around £20-30. For EU customers prices vary around 30 Euro.

Purely from consumer perspective the TP-Link AC1300 Archer T4U is a very capable and reliable dual band wireless adapter which achieved better performance than the smaller TP-Link Nano adapter that we have, both in range and speed. It is also relatively affordable for a product in this segment. 

And here are few other TP-Link products that we have tested recently:

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

By
Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 First Look Review: Did They Fix the Flaws?

By
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.
