IRULU eXpro X1 Plus Series 10.1’’ Android Lollipop tablet PC reviewed IRULU tablet Today we’ll review one of the budget tablet PC options of a non-popular producer – IRULU . Their 10.1-inch tablet is priced at under $60 but offers more computing power that you’d think such a budget tablet will have. Build-wise, the tablet is thicker and heavier than an iPad 2 but still compact and travels well. Additionally, the smooth plastic back of the tablet feels comfortable in your hands but gives a bit of a cheaper look.

Product review of the cheap 15.6 inch laptop Acer Aspire ES1-512 powered by Intel Celeron processor Acer Aspire ES1-512 The Acer laptop we are reviewing in this article – Acer Aspire ES1-512 is a hot seller at Amazon and Argos recently.

Luxor TV reviews

Luxor TV - is it worth it? Buying Luxor TV, 50 inch Full HD and 4K LED TVs - price, features, specifications and customer product review of sample Luxor TV So, who has ever heard of the Luxor brand? Well, I think not too many consumers, not to mention Luxor TV .  Luxor is a brand that produces a range of televisions. Based on my knowledge cut off in 2021, Luxor is not a well-known brand in the TV market and it is not as popular as other brands, so there is limited information available about their products.  However, Luxor TVs are generally considered to be budget-friendly options that offer basic features at a relatively low price. Today I will make you more familiar with this innovative brand and more specifically with one of their latest 4k LED TV sets. Overall, the  TV  gives moderately good picture, although the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired.  The price is at around $600 or less so if you are looking to save a buck and get a decent TV, you ma

Sharp LC-55CUG8462KS 55 inch Ultra HD TV consumer review Sharp LC-55CUG8462KS 55 inch Ultra HD TV Today we would like to take a look at one of Sharp’s Smart TVs, namely the Sharp LC-55CUG8462KS . This is a 55-inch budget 4K Ultra HD Smart TV that does not support 3D. Before we get into details for the model itself, let’s say a few words for Sharp TVs in general. Most of Sharp’s 4K UHD TVs are what we’d call budget models which offer some decent to very good picture. The more expensive Sharp 4K models also pack some very nice features even if they don’t quite compare effectively with top shelf models from Samsung, Sony or LG .  In other words, Sharp is a very decent go-to brand if you want to get started with 4K that offers quality but don’t want to spend a fortune.

 Great hardware and performance features from the beautiful looking  Meizu M3 Note The latest Meizu family member – the Meizu M3 Note – builds on the M1 and M3 ad adds a faster processor, bigger battery and a more premium design. It keeps the 5.5’’ 1080 p display and uses a more powerful Helio P1 - chipset with a 4,100 mAh battery. The other features are similar to the predecessor, the M2 – 13P main camera, 16 or 32 GB expandable storage, LTE connectivity, dual SIM. The M3 also features a fingerprint scanner on its home button on the front. The Meizu’s all-metal design is a welcome change compared to the M1 and M2 – improves the looks and hand feel and gives a much better built quality than the plastic shells.

Premium tech: LG OLED B6P 4K TV

Image
Price info and features of the premium 4K  OLED TV -  LG OLED B6P LG B6P TV Today’s review will feature one of the highest quality 4K TVs on the market – the LG OLED B6P . This TV outperforms almost all TVs out there, with the exception of the more expensive OLED TVs from 2016. The perfect black levels, wide viewing angles accurate color and bright picture, the TV proves to be top of the top. The design is also strikingly slim and sleek. A major drawback, however, is the price – this is a high-end TV and it’s priced around $2800 which makes it not too affordable. It still is high-end and delivers the best picture quality so it could be considered as a best value buy for the OLED series .

Lenovo Flex 4 - affordable 2-in-1 laptop

Image
Lenovo Flex 4 is powerful machine for the average user The Lenovo Flex 4 (15”) is equipped with Intel® 7th Gen Core™ processor. The processor performs fast and makes the 2-in-1 suitable for daily work, heavy image-processing applications, browsing and gaming as well. The machine itself feels more expensive, with a diamond-cut beveled edge around the aluminum palm rest. The keyboard is improved with larger keys for speed typing. The battery is said to provide up to 7 hours of life on a single charge according to Lenovo’s tests. In reality, you can expect 6 hours of battery life when doing regular work + browsing or around 3,5 hours if watching video. The laptop recharges quite quickly, in around an hour.

Lenovo Z50-75 15.6’’ 1TB laptop - best budget notebook?

Image
Is the mid-range Lenovo Z50-75 one of the best budget laptops at the moment... probably not The Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-75 , which is the subject of today’s review, is a budget laptop (~$430) with good all-round qualities for everyday activities, but all in all the configuration is nothing too impressive if you’re looking for top notch performance. Display The 15.6’’ screen with a resolution of 1366x768 (100 dpi) is produced by the Taiwanian Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO). It’s a simple TN screen, not a high quality so you get a clear bluish cast which can be corrected via an adapted colour profile. Overall, the colour reproduction and grayscale have room for improvement. The Lenovo Z50-75’s glare screen does not perform well under low brightness outdoors and in direct sunlight, you basically get a mirror. This makes the laptop more suitable for home use rather than outside portable device. Processor The AMD processor reaches the full 3.2 GHz in practice. However, this is limited to very s

Panasonic VIERA TX-49DX650B Smart 4k Ultra HD 49 LED TV

Panasonic VIERA TX-49DX650B Smart 4k Ultra HD 49" LED TV Panasonic VIERA TX-49DX650B - our customer review The DX600 series is a middle-class TV from Panasonic's 2016 range of 4K TVs. This DX600 range is very like the DX700 , but a bit cheaper and without HDR features. It offers up to four times more detail than Full HD TVs, HEVC and VP9 decoders, which allow streaming 4K content from Netflix, YouTube etc. Panasonic is the only TV manufacturer to use Mozilla's Firefox OS , which is simple, clean and looks like a phone interface. Firefox OS on smart TVs is all about customization, with constant opportunities to 'pin' anything to that main home screen.

Consumer overview HP 24-g099na 24" All-in-One PC - White 2 TB HDD Intel® Core™ i3-6100U Processor The subject of today’s review will be the HP All-in-One-PC 24-g099na . One of the best things about this PC is the all in one design – monitor + box in one which saves space, and let’s admit it – looks cool. The HD screen delivers very good quality image for all media and the processor is reliable for work or daily activities. Merging the ease of a laptop with the power and screen size of a desktop, all you need to do is plug in the power cable to get started.
