One-minute review The BenQ GV30 projector certainly leaves a strong first impression, at least at first glance. Before you even get to switch the device on, you’ll find that it comes in a nifty, high-quality carry case, which is easily unzipped to reveal the projector and its components inside. We’re simply in love with the shape and build quality of the GV30. It’s sturdy, and just the right amount of weight for a portable projector without feeling cheap or underdeveloped. The same can be said for the magnetic swivel, which the GV30 effortlessly clamps in and out of, where it can be rotated on a 135-degree axis to help find the right viewing angle for you. This superb build quality carries over to the remote, which has to be one of the best we’ve used for a projector. It’s simple to understand with clearly defined buttons, and the tactile feedback offered when pressing them is more satisfying than it has any right to be. Unfortunately, results when switched on are more mixed, as i...

Two-minute review The Govee StarPal Pro is a seriously impressive smart light for its price. Its affordability means it's well positioned for those interested in smart lights, but who may not have the budget to buy one of the best smart lights like Philips Hue bulbs . As a portable table lamp, you immediately have a lot of options as to where you could place the Govee StarPal Pro. In our testing, we found it to be best placed at bedside for a reading session, or placed behind a smart TV for immersive lighting in a darkened room. But the most immediately striking thing about the StarPal Pro out of the box, to its detriment, is the size of the device. It's surprisingly bulky, and certainly isn't what we'd class as lightweight. This isn't a deal breaker by any means, but it can make moving the lamp from room to room a bit of a pain. Impressions instantly improve when the StarPal Pro is turned on, however. By default, the StarPal Pro emits a bright white light, b...

Two-minute review The most apparent thing we notice about the Acer Predator Orion 3000 is the compact size. Unlike more bulky mid-towers, the Orion 3000 is small enough to more realistically fit on a desk next to your monitors. This convenience is complemented by a number of easily accessed front-facing ports. Once we set up the PC, we're impressed by the Orion 3000's gorgeous RGB effects. The front FrostBlade fan, centered between two light bars, are bathed in customizable RGB lighting. And if you want to show off a bit more, the side panel of the tower can be replaced with a tempered glass alternative. This not only helps your RGB profile stand out more, it also gives you a peek at just how organized and clutter-free the internal component setup is.
