Electronics and technology blog    /    Materials for October 2015 year

Today I’m reviewing a mixed bag of different types of batteries. It’ll be brief, but with numbers.

Today I plan to focus less on reviewing the tablet and more on testing Intel’s new generation of processors, Cherry Trail, which replaces the previous generation, Bay Trail. The previous generation was produced for about a year, and many mini PCs and tablets were released with these processors, so I was doubly interested to find out whether the new generation had made a difference to performance.

In today's review, I want to tell you about a rather useful device: a universal voltage converter. What it is, how it works, and what it can do—as always, read on.

I’m a little late with this TV box review. One thing came up, then another, but I finally got around to it. At the moment, I’m more interested in mini PCs with the new Cherry Trail Atom running Windows, but I still keep an eye on their closest competitors: Android TV boxes. The usual routine: a look at the outside and inside, a few tests, and my conclusions. If you’re interested, come on in :)

I first spotted this keyboard about a year and a half ago and even wanted to buy it on AliExpress, but it didn't work out :( And now I came across this keyboard again, this time as yet another product ordered specifically for a review. I'll try to figure out whether it's actually a good keyboard or whether I was wrong the first time.

I've already posted two reviews of mini PCs from PIPO, but this one is more of a “hybrid”—not just in terms of its OS, like the PIPO X7S, but also in its design, since this mini PC has a screen too. This mini PC isn't new, though; it's an improved version of its predecessor, the PIPO X8. Let's see what it inherited from its predecessors.

Sometimes I feel like no matter what I review, I always end up reviewing a power supply. But in this case, reviewing a power supply was the plan from the start. I’d seen it before, so I was even more interested in getting my hands on it and sharing my impressions with you. Tests, teardown, analysis—everything as usual, in the same place :)

Continuing with my August 25 purchases, I have to mention this rather useful and inexpensive little voltmeter. A friend of mine picked it out, but I ordered one for myself too, just to have around.
