Three places to start, each pulling its latest three tests.
The home office
Desks, chairs, lighting and audio that hold up over eight-hour days.
The smart home
Network first, then hubs, then the fun stuff. Automations that keep working.
Wearable tech
Wearables, headphones and AI glasses, measured on the same wrist for a month.
I actually use this stuff
Everything reviewed here gets used the way you would use it — in a working home office, on a live smart-home network, on the move, day after day. Not unboxed, photographed and returned.
- Testing and reviewing technology since 2009
- Tested in a real home and a real office, not a lab
- Long-term ownership wherever possible, not a loan window
