ExpressVPN review – an unrivaled, but costly, security suite

Image
ExpressVPN is one of the biggest players in the game, and regularly ranks among the best VPN services . It's well known for offering impressive speeds, fantastic unblocking capabilities, and a global server network – but did you know it's also one of the most secure VPNs around? However, with that impressive security comes a hefty price tag. Monthly costs start at $6.67 if you opt for the one-year plan, and go up to $12.95 if you want a single month of protection. While its security is unmatched, it's still lagging behind NordVPN and Surfshark when it comes to overall offering. So keep reading to see how Express stacks up in terms of speeds, unblocking capabilities, features, ease of use, and overall value for money. Features This isn’t a VPN that comes as part of a suite with other security programs. ExpressVPN is primarily a virtual private network that’s built to do the core VPN work very well, but there are a few extra features tucked away designed to make your ...

I tested Akaso’s first 360 camera and it beats Insta360 and GoPro for value, just don’t take it underwater

Image
Akaso 360: two-minute review The Akaso 360 is the first 360-degree camera from Akaso, a company best known for its budget-friendly action cameras . And the Akaso 360 follows in that tradition, costing far less than competitors like the Insta360 X5 and GoPro Max . Like those rivals, it’s a dual-sensor camera that shoots simultaneously on two ultra-wide lenses, automatically stitching together the images captured into a single 360-degree photo or video. These 360 images can be edited and reframed using the Akaso 360 mobile or desktop apps, before being exported for sharing or use elsewhere. The camera can shoot stabilized 5.7K video at up to 30fps (allowing for a reframed video to be exported at up to 4K resolution), or in 4K at up to 60fps (supporting export of videos at up to 2.5K resolution), as well as still photos in JPEG and/or DNG RAW format at either 72MP or 18MP resolution.

The Swann MaxRanger4K solar-powered camera has kept my home feeling safer without forcing me to buy a subscription

Image
MaxRanger4K Solar: One-minute review The MaxRanger4K Solar is the ideal smart security camera for homes with large areas to monitor. Thanks to the hub’s 250m range, and the solar panels that help extend the battery life of the cameras, it’s easy to set up and maintain a security camera view of your home space. The MaxRanger4K's rugged IP66 design means it should withstand dust and rainstorms, plus it's built-in lights and sirens act as less subtle alerts to any would-be intruders that they’re being caught in 4K. The less tech savvy will appreciate the simplicity of the app and camera installation process. All the instructions arrive in the box and were so easy to follow that I had my cameras up and recording in no time at all. It has a camera, lights, speakers, and a sensor (Image credit: Future) There are some drawbacks, however. While a single MaxRanger4K Solar camera costs $129.99 / £199.99 / AU$399.95, add in the cost of the hub, and the cheapest starting pri...

I tested out Vari's 80x80-inch L-shaped electric desk - and it's a massive workspace that's perfect for a powerful setup

Image
I've seen quite a few desks come through my office space from Vari. I've had the opportunity to see pretty much every one of their desks now, ranging from the smallest to this behemoth, the 80x80-inch L-shaped beast. While the size is not for everyone, what is incredibly handy is the smooth motors, the 200lb load capacity, and the ComfortEdge front corner of the desk, making it so when you rest your wrists or forearms, or anything else on the desk, you won't feel the pressure or discomfort of the corner of a desk. If you're looking for one of the best standing desks in this form, and one that still feels luxurious, this might just be the desk for you. As you can see in the pictures, we have been able to fit two massive ultrawide monitors on this desk without, plus more accessories. That says a great deal about the overall size, lifting capacity, and functionality of this desk. Perhaps you're the kind of person who has a work and a gaming setup, maybe you're...
