Ricoh GR IV 30th Anniversary Edition

Special-edition cameras create an awkward buying decision. You can spend extra for something rarer and more distinctive, only to discover that it takes exactly the same photographs as the standard model. Price: $1,799.95 Where to Buy: Ricoh That is the proposition behind the Ricoh GR IV 30th Anniversary Edition Kit. Ricoh is celebrating the GR1 […]

The FUNBRO Small Pocket Knife Shows Why Bigger EDC Blades Aren’t Always Better

FUNBRO Small Pocket Knife

Most pocket knives force the same everyday-carry compromise. A larger blade gives you more cutting ability and a better grip, but it also takes up more space for a tool that may spend most of its time opening packages, cutting tape, or trimming loose string.

The 4URPC Could Make Portable Monitors Easier to Use

By / / Articles / , / Leave a Comment
4URPC 15.6-inch Wireless Touchscreen Portable Monitor

Portable monitors should make work and travel easier. Instead, many create a small cable kit: one lead for video, another for power, perhaps an adapter, and a search for a free outlet. That is manageable at a desk, but much less appealing in a hotel room, meeting space, coffee shop, or temporary home office. Price:

Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER

The name Speedtimer usually makes buyers think of a chronograph. Seiko has built much of the modern Speedtimer identity around elapsed-time measurement, so models without chronograph pushers or subdials need another reason to make sense.

Case Sod Buster Pocket Knives

If most of your pocket-knife jobs involve opening delivery boxes, cutting tape, trimming cord, or handling other small chores, a feature-packed modern folder can feel like more knife than the job requires.

Razer Tartarus V2 Pro

A keyboard gives PC gamers more buttons than almost anyone could need, but that does not mean those buttons are conveniently placed. Once movement, abilities, inventory commands, macros, and communication shortcuts enter the picture, your left hand can spend too much time moving between keys originally arranged for typing rather than gaming.

Seiko HCC007 Presage Classic Series 145th Anniversary Limited Edition

At $1,700, the Seiko Presage HCC007 enters a part of the market where buyers can reasonably expect sapphire crystal, solid mechanical performance, and polished finishing. That means its “145th Anniversary Limited Edition” status cannot carry the watch on its own. Price: $1,700 Where to Buy: Seiko The HCC007’s strongest argument is its cobalt blue Arita

Frost Titan Core Plate is built around a familiar camping problem: every ice pack that goes into a cooler takes space away from the food and drinks you brought it to protect. The Kickstarter project takes a flatter route, using a 10 mm titanium plate designed to slide between cans, lunch containers, or a bag

Small pocket knives solve one everyday-carry problem while sometimes creating another.

A person uses a stylus on the Acer EP130K color ePaper monitor at a desk

Acer’s new EP130K is a 13.3-inch color ePaper monitor that accepts a 60Hz signal in both its black-and-white and color modes. That is the headline. The part that matters is what 60Hz looks like after an ePaper panel has handled cursor motion, scrolling, color conversion, and ghosting. Acer plans to charge $749.99 when the monitor

Xiaomi Smart Camera 5 Pro Wants to Keep Nighttime Security Footage in Color

Xiaomi Smart Camera 5 Pro

A security camera is less useful if nighttime footage shows a person but loses the details needed to identify what happened. Conventional infrared night vision can preserve shapes and movement, but its black-and-white image may erase useful information such as clothing or object colors.

ASUS Ascent QN10 Mini PC 6

Mini PCs are appealing until you ask them to do more than ordinary office work. Their small footprints save desk space, but compact designs can also mean compromises in performance, cooling, ports, or upgradeability. Local AI adds another challenge because models and AI-assisted applications can demand considerable processing power and memory. Price: $1,699 Where to

Fall is one of the best times to take a camera outdoors, and one of the easiest times to wish you had packed it in something tougher.

Buying a premium pocket knife can become surprisingly difficult once you move beyond basic utility.
