It’s been almost a year since the 2025 Iberian Peninsula blackout left large parts of Spain and Portugal without power. Specifications Capacity: 2016Wh (LiFePO₄) Output: 1800W continuous UPS switchover: ~10ms Cycle life: ~4000 cycles to 80% Charging: AC, solar and car charging supported Connectivity: Wi-Fi app control Weight: 19kg Dimensions: 350 × 580 × 75mm For many households, it was a reminder that backup power is no longer just for off-grid enthusiasts or enterprise users. That creates an awkward gap in the market. Whole-home battery systems remain expensive and complex to install, while portable power stations are often designed more for camping than permanent indoor use. The BLUETTI FridgePower attempts to sit directly in the middle — and after spending time with the system alongside the BlueCell 200 expansion battery and optional Magnetic Display, it becomes clear that BLUETTI may be ont...

DJI’s push into portable power has been surprisingly assured, and the DJI Power 1000 Mini Portable Power Station feels like the most deliberate product in the range so far. It takes the core idea behind the larger units and trims it down into something you might actually want to carry. This is a 1kWh-class power station that doesn’t feel like luggage. For creators, vanlifers and anyone working on the move, that shift in usability matters more than raw output figures, and might make it the best portable power station choice for them.

Creative Sound Blaster GS5: One-minute review The Creative Sound Blaster GS5 is a gaming soundbar that can be used with all sorts of devices, with a form factor that’s suitable for desktops, according to the brand. Its plain appearance won’t set hearts ablaze, but it has a certain minimalist charm that’s unlikely to offend. Customizable RGB lighting is on hand for those who want to brighten their setup, too. The build quality of the GS5 is reasonable. It feels quite solid without being too heavy, although the chassis material doesn’t feel particularly premium. It falls short of the best soundbars in this regard, and no doubt contributes to its relatively low price tag. And while it’s a compact unit, I still think it’s a bit too large to sit comfortably on your desk. (Image credit: Future) The remote is similarly compact and functional. It’s well made and easy to use, although it can be slow to r...

Logitech G512 X two-minute review The Logitech G512 X reminds me of what Citroën tried to do with the C3 Pluriel — a car so busy trying to be everything that it ended up being not quite enough of anything. This is a keyboard that seeks to blur the lines between gaming and enthusiast-grade, which is a tricky line to walk — and one that the G512 X doesn't quite manage. On one hand, it's trying to be one of the best keyboards money can buy, with capable tactile switches, gasket mounting and strong acoustics, and on the other, it's positioning itself as a top-end TMR gaming deck with potent HE switches with rapid trigger, dual actuation and all the rest of it. For $199.99/£199.99, this feels like a two-for-one deal I can get behind, but only in some respects. In practice, the G512 X impresses with strong mechanical credentials and fast analog switches that can be swapped in an instant wi...
