These days we noticed that the ASUS VivoBook K553EA laptop is offered for a very decent price of under £500 as a refurbished item. The deal that we found on eBay is for certified refurbished which means  you are getting one year warranty. It is part of the VivoBook series, which is designed to be a budget-friendly option for everyday use.

We have previously shared our opinion about buying refurbished products and we believe this is not only budget friendly solution but also an environmental one and we do care about the environment.

Samsung travel adapter EP-TA200 - full specs and opinion

By
Full product specifications of the white 5V travel adapter Samsung EP-TA200 Some time ago we reviewed the Samsung EP-TA200 but back then we took it from our lovely Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The charger in question was black with a longer USB/type-C cable. It seems that this adapter proved to be a solid product since Samsung are still using it for some of their brand new smartphones like the A52s that we tested recently.
