Keurig's K-Mini Mate is a no-frills compact coffee maker that packs a serious flavor punch

-

Keurig K-Mini Mate: one-minute review Keurig’s range of coffee makers is among the most popular available in the U.S., rivalling the likes of Nespresso and Ninja. Released in 2025, the Keurig K-Mini Mate is the brand’s smallest brewer to date, measuring just nine inches tall and four inches wide, with a modern matte design that’s available in four different colours. While this coffee maker is the most compact in Keurig’s range, it still offers the same quality we’ve come to expect from the brand, delivering bold, flavorsome single-serve brews between 6oz and 12oz. The machine itself is effortless to use: you simply top up the water reservoir to your desired brew size, insert the K-Cup pod, and press the brew button. (Image credit: Future) We found the brewing process for a 12-oz cup took around 1 minute 40 seconds from start to finish, including heating time. Likewise, cleaning the machine requir...

Seagate IronWolf 8TB review: There are good reasons that Seagate is still selling this internal NAS drive, but none are its price

-
Image
There are bound to be many people reading this review and wondering why something that should have been covered a decade ago has resurfaced on our site. And, it is true that Seagate launched the IronWolf 8TB model in 2016, hardware that is hardly considered current in 2026. But this review isn’t covering the mechanism that Seagate launched then, the ST8000VN0022, thankfully. Instead, it is the one that came after that in 2019, the ST8000VN004. For complete transparency, they released a newer option, the ST8000VN002, in 2021, but during my review, I’ll explain the differences and why you might want one over the other. OK, I accept that this model has been around for 8 years, almost, but we’re exceptionally busy here at Tech Radar Pro, and we get to things eventually. The fundamentals of the 8TB IronWolf have been remarkably stable across the past decade. Every generation has used CMR recording, ...

Acer ProDesigner PE160WUT review: A high-res, high-refresh OLED portable monitor let down by its anti-glare display

-
Image
Portable monitors tend to have two problems. They're usually low quality displays and also low resolution. Give it up, therefore, for the new Acer PE160WUT. It's a 16-inch portable monitor with not only 2.8K native resolution, but also OLED panel technology. That's a pretty good start, but add 120 Hz refresh and touchscreen functionality into the mix and this compact display is a seriously appealing proposition. It promises an external monitor solution that's at least as good, if not better, than the built-in display of most premium laptops. There's also the tantalising prospect, albeit without official support, of adding touchscreen functionality for Apple MacBook laptops. Apple, of course, doesn't do touchscreen MacBooks. And it's all wrapped up in a fairly slick, slim-bezel chassis that's surprisingly light. As with the entries in our guide to the best portable ...

Bosgame P4 Ultra review: Nothing here convinces me that AMD Zen 3 is sufficiently exciting for the current mini PC market

BOSGAME P4 Ultra: 30-second review Mini PCs have never been more crowded. Every few months, a new batch of compact desktops arrives from Chinese brands promising big performance in a small chassis, and the Bosgame P4 Ultra is the latest to land on the desk for evaluation. It slots into the brand's Effizen series, which targets productivity and everyday computing rather than serious gaming. The headline here is the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U. It is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture, clocked up to 4.5GHz, and paired with Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics. That combination is capable, but it is worth being honest from the start: the 7730U is a Barcelo Refresh part, which means it is architecturally identical to the 5825U from 2021. Bosgame has dressed it in a new product number, but the silicon is not new. What is new, or at least appealing, is the package. The P4 Ultra ships eit...

Geekom A9 Max mini PC (2026) review: The latest update to the powerful AI mini PC is a desktop-class computer with workstation-level performance

-

GEEKOM A9 Max 2026: 30-second review The Geekom A9 Max is one of a growing number of premium AI-enhanced mini PCs, perfectly at home as a powerful office machine for content creation or development, especially for low to mid-level AI applications. Inside is a powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 CPU, and this is coupled with a more standard 890M integrated GPU and NPU to handle all graphics and AI processing. Removing the small machine from the box, the quality is instantly apparent, with a mainly metal case aside from the black plastic back panel. It’s also good to see a decent amount of venting to keep it cool, even under substantial load. What I instantly liked about the box was that while it arrives with just 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, it’s perfectly possible to upgrade the machine to 128GB RAM and 8TB storage, and you can even give it a graphics boost by attaching an eGPU. Essentially, this brings the...
