    I tested the Acemagic K5, a mini PC that's exceptional and diabolical (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The K5 is exceptional in some respects and diabolical in others. Without a doubt, the new Wild Lake silicon is a significant step up from what came before, but it has too few PCIe lanes to be truly useful. But then, if it had those, it might be better than some Core Ultra platforms.

    The RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro is a rugged phone with a Go Pro-style action cam (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro is a curious mash-up that combines two products into one, and doesn’t make a total mess of that attempt. However, the action camera isn’t a replacement for a GoPro, even if it might be remarkably useful.

    For the price, the Aoostar Maco 6850H mini PC offers a decent punch (opens the original)

    It might not have the latest Zen 5-class processor, but there is plenty of life left in this system for those who want a NUC with grunt. It combines affordability and performance in equal measure, and also has AI potential with an OCuLink port.

    I tested Innocn's E49M1R — the first flat 49-in Mini LED ultrawide monitor (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This is a fantastic monitor; however, it's hardly perfect. Ideally, the built-in USB hub should have a KVM, and the stand should have more motion. But it’s hard to be critical, since no other brand has a straight Mini LED display this wide. Just accept that a monitor like this is decidedly situational. First flat 49-inch Mini LED ultrawide monitor on the market 1760 local dimming zones and HDR1000 certification Decent coverage across sRGB, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB Dual HDMI 2.1 and dual DisplayPort

    I've spent four months with the EcoFlow Stream Ultra X home battery — here's how it compares to plug-in solar (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Plug-in solar is no longer a grey area. Kits under 800VA are now legal to buy and connect to a standard socket; no installer required. The government has been promising this since March. Now it is finally here. But legal does not mean simple. The market has split into three very different products, sold under one loose banner. Solar-only kits that plug straight into a socket — these are then ones that have just been made legal. Then there are battery-only power stations that store grid electrici
