Let’s take a look at a brand you may not be familiar with. We were impressed with the Chuwi CoreBook XPro, and it could be a good choice for your next laptop, as long as you understand its position in the market. Chuwi is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer that started out making MP3 and MP4 playback products in 2004. Today, they make laptops, small PCs, and Android tablets. Recently, the company contacted me to review their CoreBook XPro laptop, so I took it for a test drive. A quick note: the company has a video showing off its production facilities. The marketing copy is a bit crude, but the visual tour of their facilities is fascinating.
The machine I received was equipped with a Coffee Lake Intel i5-8259U, which runs at 2.3GHz and can go up to 3.8Ghz. It has a 15.6-inch IPS display with an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage, which sits on an NVMe flash module.
The machine ships with Windows 10 Home pre-installed. Since I’m using Windows 11 here, I immediately upgraded it to Windows 11 Home. The upgrade took a few hours, but went smoothly.
I found the build quality to be solid enough. The casing is wrapped in aluminum alloy, but there are quite a few plastic parts and accessories. If you’re careful with it (like you would with a laptop), it should hold up well. If you toss it around like the gorilla in the old luggage commercial, your mileage will definitely vary.
The 15.6-inch IPS screen is a highlight of the XPro. The bezels are only 6mm thick, allowing the display to fill nearly all of the available space. With a 16:9 aspect ratio, the display is great for movies and videos. The display resolution is only 1920×1080 (1080p), but the display quality is excellent. Coupled with the surprisingly clear and powerful dual speakers, movie playback is a treat. The screen is also quite pleasant for traditional office work. It’s clear and easy to read, and I used it for hours at a time without any eye fatigue.Chuwi CoreBook XPro BatteryLife and KeyboardThe battery life is OK. With the screen brightness turned down a bit, I was able to get through a two-hour movie, but just barely. Honestly, if you want to watch a movie, you’re better off plugging in. The charger for this machine is nice and small, so it’s not a hardship to carry the power brick when traveling. The battery is not removable or replaceable.
When doing normal productive work, such as when writing this article, I found that I could get about four hours of use out of the Chuwi CoreBook XPro battery alone. My work pattern is that I tend to combine some video with web and writing.

Dell XPS 11 and XPS 12 preview
Dell’s new line looks pretty good based on what I’ve seen so far. While the PC maker also announced several traditional PCs, I wanted to highlight the hybrid designs that I think take full advantage of Windows 8.x’s unique design: the new XPS 11 and the updated XPS 12. Dell XPS 11This new Dell Ultrabook will be available “later this year.” It has a 360-degree screen hinge so it can be used in a variety of positions, similar to the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga. But what makes the XPS 11 different is the screen: It has a resolution of up to 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD), and it’s an 11-inch display. This tells me that the XPS 11 needs Windows 8.1, as this version will add some relief (on the desk) to very high DPI displays. The XPS 11 is less than 15mm thick and weighs less than 2.5 pounds. And it looks great. The Dell XPS 11 ($1,399 list) is the company’s latest convertible tablet/laptop, and it’s one of the lightest and thinnest full-featured devices in its class. The laptop features a nice-looking carbon fiber on both sides, and a higher-than-1080p screen resolution. However, the XPS 11 (Dell) sits firmly in the middle of the pack thanks to a membrane keyboard (rather than a traditional mechanical one) and middling Dell XPS 11 battery performance.
Design and FeaturesThe XPS 11 is a very compact convertible laptop. It measures 8 x 12 x 0.59 inches (H x W x D) and weighs just 2.44 pounds, so it’s certainly lighter than carrying around both a tablet and a laptop. While Apple has made its mark on aluminum construction with the Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Mid 2013) (Amazon), Dell is looking to do the same with carbon fiber. The top and bottom of the XPS 11 are wrapped in carbon fiber for added strength and weight. The effect is quite attractive, as you can see the weave of the carbon fiber (it’s not covered like the Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch ($1,281.75 at Lenovo)). The system’s 11.6-inch touchscreen is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass NBT glass.
Dell XPS 12
As an upgrade to the existing machine, the next-generation Dell XPS 12 will retain its predecessor’s weird-looking but practical “twist frame” screen design, which lets you flip the screen and use the device as a thick tablet. The next-generation XPS 12 will feature new Intel Core “Haswell” processors and offer significantly better performance (1.6 times) and
Dell XPS 12 batterylife (Dell claims up to 8 hours and 43 minutes).
Dell says the XPS 12 convertible laptop will be available in the coming weeks.
I’ve been disappointed with Dell for a while, but these designs look pretty solid, especially the XPS 11, and I feel like it could point the way to a new normal for high-DPI displays in the Windows world.

HP Victus 16 Laptop Review: A 1080p gaming powerhouse with few compromises
A win for HP. The HP Victus 16 is one of the few budget laptops on the market that comes with an Intel Core i5-13500HX processor.The HP Victus 16-r0076TX offers an interesting mix of midrange hardware, including an Intel Core i5-13500HX Raptor Lake-HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 (Ada Lovelace) graphics card. Connectivity: Could use more I/OFor a gaming laptop, the I/O on the HP Victus 16 is surprisingly light. On the right side, there’s a USB-C port, two USB-A ports (all three rated for 5 Gbps), and an HDMI 2.1 port on one end. There’s a barrel pin connector for the charger next to it. The USB and HDMI ports are a little too close for comfort, especially near the HDMI port.
Performance: Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace shineThe HP Victus 16 is available in a few configurations. We used the base model, which comes with an Intel Core i5-13500HX and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 laptop GPU. GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 are available if you want.
Those seeking a more powerful CPU can opt for the Core i7-13700HX version, which can only be paired with a GeForce RTX 4070. Users seeking additional memory can also choose a version with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
System Performance
While the HP Victus 16 performs well as a daily driver, it lags behind the competition in PCMark 10, scoring only 6,125 points.
Its CrossMark score of 1,701 puts it ahead of the Lenovo LOQ 15 and Acer Nitro 16.
The situation is much the same in AIDA64, where the Raptor Lake-HX processors consistently lag behind their AMD counterparts. GPU PerformanceAt first glance, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 doesn’t look like the most powerful GPU on the market. It has 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 96-bit bus, 2,560 CUDA cores, and TGP values between 35 and 115 watts.
A little digging in the Nvidia Control Panel shows that its maximum TGP is capped at around 100 watts, which is respectable. Interestingly, the GeForce RTX 4050 here can “borrow” up to 20 watts of power from the CPU. Gaming PerformanceThe GeForce RTX 4050 excels at gaming, even with just 6 GB of VRAM. It can run every game we throw at it at 1080p 60 FPS with all settings turned up high.
The stellar performance of Cyberpunk 2077 can be explained by Nvidia’s extensive optimizations for the game. Esports titles like DOTA 2 run well on the laptop.
The architectural improvements brought by Ada Lovelace make the RTX 4050 a decent 1080p gaming machine. However, we don’t recommend enabling ray tracing without DLSS as it’s very VRAM-hungry. Emissions: A bit too loud and hot when runningSystem noise
The CPU and GPU each have a dedicated cooling fanWhile HP did everything it could to cool the Victus 16, it had a hard time keeping the hardware in check. The first thing you’ll notice is how noisy the laptop gets under the lightest load, which gets progressively louder when gaming.
Our testing determined the maximum noise output to be 55 dB(A). While it’s well below the threshold of what can be considered loud, it’s not something that will blend into the background without a pair of headphones. HP Victus 16 Laptop Battery Battery LifeThe HP Victus 16 comes with a respectable 83 Wh HP Victus 16 Laptop battery. A 99 Wh battery capacity would have been ideal, but those are reserved for the top SKU only.
In our Wi-Fi web surfing test with the brightness set to 150 nits, the HP Laptop Batterylasted about 8 hours and 51 minutes. With the brightness cranked to maximum, the battery life dropped to 8 hours and 10 minutes.
Interestingly, the laptop fared even worse in the Big Buck Bunny FHD H.264 test with the brightness set to 150 nits and all radios (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) turned off. It lasted only 7 hours and 39 minutes. Ideally, that number would have been higher. With its powerful processor and 165 Hz screen, the HP Victus 16 is an ideal 1080p gaming machine for esports enthusiasts on a budget, but only if you can tolerate its noise and heat.

My Logitech Mouse M187 Has Serious Battery Life Problems
A while ago, I suggested you buy the Logitech Wireless Keyboard K230 and the Logitech Wireless Mini Mouse M187, one of the best solutions for cheap wireless keyboards and mice. Now that a year has passed, it seems that I want to reconsider what I said.
Why is the Logitech M187 mouse not working?Considering many user reports, Logitech M187 battery life issues are not the only problem with this wireless mouse. While other problems may be triggered by system failures, this problem always seems to be frustrating.
More than a year ago, I was looking for a cheap keyboard and mouse for my new Windows 8.1 laptop.
I am talking about the Logitech Wireless Mini Mouse M187 that you see in the screenshot above. After almost a year without any problems, I am now starting to see problems related to its Logitech Wireless Mini Mouse M187 battery Logitech Wireless Mini Mouse M187 battery life.
About 1-2 months ago, I noticed that my cursor froze, or the mouse did not respond at all. So in order to make it work, I had to turn it off for a few minutes and then turn it back on.
If this also did not work, then I had to take out the Logitech M187 mouse battery, put it back, and wait a few more minutes.
How long does the battery of a wireless mouse last?As advertised and tested, theLogitech mouse batterycan last up to 6 months. In comparison, other local brands have an average lifespan of 3 months if you don’t use the mouse for more than 4-5 hours.
How to replace the Logitech M187 mouse battery for a Logitech wireless mouse?Find the battery compartment cover.Press the button on the bottom of the mouse to pop the coverOpen and replace the Logitech M187 mouse battery.Alkaline batteries are recommended to extend the battery life.Logitach Wireless Mini Mouse M187 Battery Life Issue
But this solution is not clear because it happened again in a short time, so I wonder if there is something wrong with this device.
After I replaced the battery with a new one, the problem went away. But do I really need to replace the Logitech M187 mouse battery every 2 months when Logitech claims that its battery life should be longer?
If you are also affected by these problems, please leave your comments below. Because I would really like to hear from others because I firmly believe that I am not the only one affected by these problems. Thank you!

Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI robot vacuum cleaner review: A handy home helper
The Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI is one of the latest robot vacuum cleaners from Ecovacs. But its functions are not limited to vacuuming, it can also mop and serve as a mobile sentinel in your home.
There is not much to say about its design. It is black, round and looks like any other robot vacuum cleaner. It has two rotating brushes in the front and the back is where the optional mopping module can be installed and removed. It is worth mentioning that it is less than 10 cm high, so see if it can fit under most furniture.
Like many home appliances nowadays, it has AI intelligence – AIVI stands for Artificial Intelligence and Visual Interpretation. This is the main technology that helps the Deebot Ozmo T8 avoid obstacles.
The Deebot Ozmo T8 relies heavily on its camera to find and avoid obstacles.
AIVI uses a combination of built-in cameras and lidar sensors. With the help of the camera and sensors, the Deebot Ozmo T8 is able to create an extremely accurate map of its surroundings (see the map of my home in the screenshot further down the page). It also has sensors underneath so it won’t fall onto split levels or stairs.
Understandably, some users will be concerned about privacy, and Ecovacs offers a sticky camera lens cover that can be used to cover privacy. The Deebot Ozmo T8 still works and uses its lidar sensor to navigate, but it will be slower and less accurate in locating and identifying obstacles.
It actually does a pretty good job of avoiding obstacles. It should be able to identify common household items like shoes, slippers, rugs, and cables, and it does most of the time, but sometimes it still ran over and clashed with some of my cables. And it did have problems identifying my children’s shoes and toys.
Two rotating sweepers push debris into the vacuum cleaner.
But importantly, it rarely gets stuck. I have programmed it to clean the room every night, and after more than a month, it has only gotten stuck a few times. Mainly because my little girl left things on the floor that shouldn’t have been there. It got tangled in her water bottle strap and the chin strap of her hat. Apparently, the strap is the Deebot Ozmo T8’s biggest enemy.
The suction power is pretty good. It’s not too noisy at normal suction levels either. If it detects a hard-to-clean surface like carpet, it automatically increases suction. My biggest problem at home is food crumbs left behind by snacking toddlers as well as hair and bunny poop (yes, I have two bunnies), and I’m happy to say that the Deebot Ozmo T8 handles it all without a hitch.
Even though it can only mop with water and not cleaning solution, the mopping function is pretty good. It doesn’t quite give you that squeaky clean feeling you get from mopping with a mop, but it’s good enough as a stopgap until you have the fortitude or time to do it yourself. It’s worth noting, however, that the water tank isn’t very large, so those in larger homes may need to refill it to cover the entire house. It was just enough for me, but that’s probably because I had the water flow set to “high.” Also, I must warn you that it can get pretty loud when mopping, so if you’re a light sleeper, you might only want to use it when you’re not home or in the middle of the night.
How long it takes to clean will obviously depend on the size of your home. I can tell you about the cleaning times, in my 5-room HDB flat, I found it usually took 30 to 50 minutes to clean the living room, kitchen, and corridor outside the room.
Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 BatteryLife is never an issue as the Deebot Ozmo T8 has a 5,200mAhEcovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI battery that is claimed to last up to 200 minutes. Like any respectable robot vacuum cleaner, the Deebot Ozmo T8 returns to its base to charge when it’s done cleaning or when the battery is running low.
The dustbin is easily accessible by simply lifting the top panel.
Emptying the robot’s dustbin is also fairly easy. Simply lift the top cover and the dustbin pops out easily. It’s a little fiddly to open it as the filter cover doesn’t pop out completely but swings out on a hinge, but other than that, the whole process is simple. Ecovacs plans to come with a self-emptying base, which could make the Deebot Ozmo T8 even more independent and convenient to use.
The two spinning brushes and bottom rollers are also easily removable, so any tangled hair or fur can be easily removed. Ecovacs also thoughtfully provides a set of extra brushes, an extra filter, and even a cleaning tool to keep the robot spotless.
Like any smart home appliance today, the Deebot Ozmo T8 also comes with an app. The app isn’t the most intuitive to use, and I suspect most people will have a hard time finding certain features or modifying certain settings. Still, if you have the patience to learn its quirks, you can do a lot with the app. After it successfully maps your home, you can set up virtual boundaries so that it avoids certain areas. If you live in a multi-story or split-level home, the Deebot Ozmo T8 can create and save multiple maps. You can also set cleaning schedules, which is useful if you only want to start a cleaning routine when you’re out for a jog, for example.
The app also allows you to access the Deebot Ozmo T8’s video streaming feature. With it, users can control the robot and look around their home using its built-in camera. It even has a two-way microphone feature so you can communicate with anyone you see. Ecovacs markets this as a convenient way to communicate with your pet. Well, my rabbit isn’t the most responsive, so I can’t confirm if it actually works. Also, due to the height of the robot, the field of view is limited. I guess it’s equivalent to the field of view seen by a crawling baby. Still, it’s handy if you need to quickly look around the house.
With a list price of S$799, the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI is one of the more expensive options currently on the market. There are cheaper options out there, but since I haven’t tried them, I can’t comment on their efficacy. However, I can attest to the effectiveness of the Deebot Ozmo T8. It works just as well as advertised, and has quickly become one of the most important appliances in my home. Because of this, I now only vacuum and mop on the weekends. On weekends, unless there’s a major incident, I can only rely on it to keep my floors clean, and it does a pretty good job. And, mind you, I’m very picky about floor cleaning. If you judge devices by how much they make your life easier (or more bearable), then for me, this device is as good as an air conditioner and a washing machine. If you’re tired of vacuuming and mopping every day and wish someone else could do it for you, this device might be your “alternative”

Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni review: The best robot mop we’ve ever seen
If you want a full-featured floor cleaning robot, and don’t mind paying for it, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni is waiting for you to buy at Amazon warehouses. It’s the most feature-rich robot vacuum and mop we’ve reviewed to date, with an incredible amount of tools and features.
If you were to order an Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, the first thing you’d notice is how big the box is. That’s mainly because of its base station, which is the largest I’ve seen to date. While basicEcovacs Deebot X1 Omni Battery
Charging stations can be small, brick-sized objects that you place against a wall for the robot to rest on, this one is absolutely massive.
That’s because it’s versatile. We’ve seen a lot of models lately that combine charging stations with built-in vacuums, emptying the contents of the robot’s collection bin into a secondary bag inside the base station. These bags have a much larger capacity than the robot’s collection bin, saving you the hassle of emptying the bin after every cleaning. Of course, the Deebot X1 Omni’s charging station does this, too.
However, most of the space in the base station is taken up by two four-liter water tanks. They are used to fill the robot with fresh water; to clean the attachments after mopping, and to collect dirty water at the end of mopping. Because it will be exposed to water, the base is equipped with plastic foot plates that the robot can roll onto to charge. This protects your floors from spills and residual moisture from the mop attachments.
All this adds up to a base station that measures 448 x 430 x 578 mm (WDH), which will not blend into the background in even the largest of houses. This is further exacerbated by the fact that you need to place it against a wall with plenty of space around it so that the robot can easily find its way home.
Speaking of the robot, its dimensions are more traditional: a hockey puck shape, measuring 362 x 362 x 104 mm (aspect ratio). It uses LiDAR to scan and navigate its surroundings, so there’s a turret on top that accounts for part of its height, and a series of other sensors and cameras on the front to help it find its way around furniture. Interestingly, you can also use these cameras to see through the robot’s eyes, take it on patrol when you’re not home, and even use it to talk to people and pets in your home while you’re away. Inside the device is a powerful 5,000Pa vacuum, with a roller built into the suction port of the base. It uses brushes and rubber flaps to agitate the carpet, and in our tests it did a good job of avoiding hair tangles. There are two spinning sweeping brushes on each side to catch debris in corners and throw it into the path of the vacuum cleaner.
Underneath the top plate that magnetically attaches to the robot, there’s a 400ml collection bin, though this is unlikely to fill up before the base station empties it with its own 21kPa vacuum.
The Deebot X1 Omni takes a different approach. Instead of one static pad, it uses two, which rotate in opposite directions at speeds of up to 180rpm to thoroughly scrub your floors. Like the robot’s lid, the pads attach magnetically to the base, so they can be easily clipped on or off when you want to mop your floorsEcovacs Deebot X1 Omni review: What’s it like to use?Initial setup is simple: You have to connect the robot to your Wi-Fi network (it only works at 2.4GHz) using the accompanying mobile app, but that’s about as complicated as it gets. You’ll also need to fill the four-liter clean water tank with tap water, which you do by lifting it off the top of the base station and filling it in the sink.
Once the map is set up, you can fire up the robot and start cleaning. The app automatically breaks down the map into rooms and names them, but you can divide, merge, and rename zones as needed. It’s also simple to set no-go zones and boundaries to keep the robot away from potential trouble spots.
16More controls are accessible through the control panel, which lets you control the vacuum’s power and water flow. You can also control the intensity of the cleaning (whether it does multiple cleans and how intense the mopping action is), and set up routines, which can be assigned to perform automated cleaning tasks.
Notably, the robot can store up to three maps at once, which means it doesn’t have to create a new map every time you move it to a different floor in your home. I moved it upstairs, set it down, started a new clean, and it automatically detected that it was a new location and created a new map. When I put the robot back downstairs, the map switched back seamlessly. Switching to mopping mode was simple. Just attach the mop, fill the water tank with tap water, and the device will automatically switch modes, and it will also automatically refill water from the base station if it runs out of water during cleaning.
The voice control system that Ecovacs designed for the X1 Omni doesn’t work particularly well; for some reason, it just didn’t want to listen to me. However, since the robot can also be controlled through Google Assistant and Alexa, this hardly matters. You need to own a compatible Echo or Nest speaker, though. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni review: Does it find its way well?
The navigation capabilities of the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni are excellent. Mapping is excellent, as we’ve come to expect from a LiDAR-based system, which helps the robot plot sensible routes between rooms. You can choose to clean the entire map, select individual rooms in the order you prefer, or draw a rectangle to clean a smaller area. Whichever you choose, the robot will circle the perimeter of the area and then move back and forth in a perpendicular line until it has cleaned the entire space. These are all standard features. The X1 Omni’s strength is its ability to navigate around obstacles. In addition to LiDAR navigation, the robot has a set of cameras and sensors on the front. Using these, it can detect and avoid dropped objects and gently and gracefully navigate around furniture legs.
The X1 Omni’s handling of furniture is impressive. When it approaches chair and table legs, it may gently push them, but then it will carefully circle around them and generally not touch them. I haven’t seen a robot that respects furniture so much since the AEG RX9.2.
Another neat thing about the X1 Omni is that it’s good at detecting different surfaces. In vacuuming mode, the suction power increases as it moves from hard floors to carpets. If you attach a mop pad, it will completely avoid carpets and floor mats, mopping only near the edges and not on the carpet surface.
This is really great. Most mopping robots I’ve seen require you to manually add no-mop zones. You can still do that here, but you can also safely let the robot do its thing without getting your carpets or doormats wet.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni review: How well does it clean?One gripe I had with the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni’s navigation was its ability to follow the edge of my kitchen’s baseboards (which sit beneath the cabinets). It was able to navigate around other walls and wall-like obstacles perfectly, sticking close to them as it followed them. However, in my kitchen, it kept bouncing off the baseboards, so I had to manually clean the edges afterwards.
16 In all other cleaning tasks, however, the robot performed well. I put it through my regular robot vacuuming tests, having it measure spills of rice and flour on carpets and hard floors. I weighed the collection bin before and after the robot finished cleaning to assess how well it cleaned up the mess. The robot doesn’t have a specific spot cleaning tool, so I drew an area around each spill on the app and had the Deebot go find it.
It did best with rice, picking up 94% and 98% of spills on hard floors and carpets, respectively. It did better on carpets because the rice agitated by the robot’s edge-sweeping brushes doesn’t fly as far and is therefore less likely to be catapulted out of reach.
Flour is a more challenging test for robot vacuums, and the Deebot lagged slightly behind in this one. On hard floors, it did OK, with the robot picking up 78% of spills. However, it left a lot of stains on low-pile carpets, picking up just 42%.
To be fair, our spill tests are usually performed by less intelligent robots that need to be manually positioned over spills. This helps them pick up large amounts of messes before rolling over them with their wheels and sweeping them up with their sweepers. However, its overall collection rate of 78% was just slightly below average. All is forgiven when mopping, though. This robot is definitely the best mopping robot we’ve reviewed to date, and the spinning motion of the X1 Omni’s two spinning cloths adds unparalleled cleaning power.
I cultivated a small patch of dirt in my kitchen and used it to test robot mops – spilled sugary drinks had formed a stubborn layer of grime over time – but nothing worked.
However, the Deebot X1 Omni finally managed to solve the problem. The Deebot’s first scrubbing stroke clearly removed some of the dirt, and the second wiped it off completely.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni review: should I buy it?
There’s a lot to like about the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni. There are few issues with performance, and the app is excellent. Its object detection also puts it on par with the Roomba j7.
Add in the best-in-class mopping capabilities, and you’ve got a winner. This robot can really significantly reduce the amount of times you need to vacuum and mop in your home compared to any other robot I’ve tested so far.
However, it’s not without its faults. The base station is so large that you can’t ignore its presence in your home, and the price of £1,499 will put a big dent in your bank account.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other options for those on a budget. The Roomba j7 is the obvious choice for anyone who doesn’t want to clean their floors every time they vacuum. It steers around obstacles just as well as the Deebot X1 Omni, but is cheaper at just £700 with a self-emptying base station.

Arlo Pro 2 camera review
Sure, the Arlo Pro 2 has 1080p HD video, infrared night vision, and two-way audio, but is it worth the price? The Arlo Pro 2 is a high-quality outdoor camera that features 1080p HD video, infrared night vision, and two-way audio. We also like that it comes with a siren, which does a great job of scaring off potential intruders. Outdoor video security is just as important, if not more important, than indoor video security. Wouldn’t you like to catch snoopers sneaking out the door before an intrusion occurs? Or wouldn’t you like to know who’s at your door before you open it?
In this review, I’ll answer some questions and provide details about the Arlo Pro 2, one of Arlo’s battery-powered, weatherproof outdoor cameras. It’s one of the few affordable wireless cameras I’ve found that can run completely wirelessly, and to help you decide if it’s the right choice for you, I took the liberty of testing it in my own home. My standards are high, so hopefully the Arlo Pro 2 won’t disappoint. My Arlo Pro 2 review begins now! Although the Arlo Pro 2 is no longer available, there are still a lot of things to learn from our experience with it, especially if you’re planning to buy a new camera from Arlo.
I’m happy to say that the Arlo Pro 2 setup is very simple and straightforward.
I downloaded the app on my iPhone X (it’s also available for Android, by the way). I plugged the hub into the internet using an Ethernet cable, pressed all the sync buttons, and waited for each device to connect.
I’d say the setup took me about 15 minutes, from downloading, syncing, and getting used to the app, which isn’t bad. I must warn you, though: make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi signal before setting up this camera. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to set up a device like this when the network is spotty. These things require the four arcs on the Wi-Fi icon that we all love.
In short, make sure your router is ready to provide a great installation experience. Essential FeaturesGreat! Now that we’ve got everything assembled, it’s time to test these cameras – essential features, of course.
At Security.org, we’ve seen a lot of cameras. We’ve figured out what makes a camera a strong competitor in the market and a satisfying product to have in your home. We looked for cameras with high-quality video, audio, night vision, smart platform integrations, AI, convenience, and value.
Does the Arlo Pro 2 hold up in the test? Let’s find out! I really liked the Arlo Pro 2’s crisp video, and I know that’s because this baby camera records in 1080p HD resolution. These days, 1080p is the industry standard, so this camera is on par with the competition. I always look at night vision quality when I evaluate cameras because it’s important for us to know if a camera is good at recording things in the dark. Most of the things we fear most—robberies, burglaries, vandalism—happen when we’re asleep or in places where we simply can’t see. To feel safe, we need to have quality night vision.
Now, the Arlo Pro 2 does have a night mode that I like, which uses infrared lighting instead of white light. Some cameras use white light, and while white light can take good pictures, I find the harsh light very distracting and easy for an intruder to spot. Infrared lighting is more discreet and just as effective in some situations. The two-way audio feature on the Arlo 2 is excellent.
The reason I love two-way audio so much is because it enhances your ability to communicate with the people in your life. Let’s say you’re in the kitchen and want to talk to your kid in the bedroom, you can just tap on the app and speak through your phone. That’s awesome, right?Once you click on settings, you can turn off the camera for privacy or change the video settings. In the menu, there are options like “Best Video,” “Optimize,” and “Best Battery Life” to choose from. I think Arlo made these options a smart choice since these cameras are wireless. If you don’t want to frequently charge the camera’sArlo Pro 2 battery you can make the battery last longer.
Finally, the Library button takes you to all motion- and sound-activated recorded events so you can see exactly what’s going on in your home. If you tap on the “Mode” tab, it takes you to the central settings where you can enable or disable the system, schedule alerts, and turn on geo-fencing. Hidden features?I love the wireless capabilities of the Arlo Pro 2 because it means there are no extra wires around the house for my cats to play with or chew on. But it turns out that I miss out on features like uninterrupted continuous recording, the ability to designate motion/activity zones, and 3-second replay when my camera isn’t plugged in.
Non-stop continuous recording is self-explanatory – you can choose to have the camera start indefinitely when the camera is plugged into a power source. Motion/activity zones allow you to specify important parts of the area to record, such as windows or cribs. This will allow for more specific notifications.
After exploring everything, I think the Arlo app is pretty comprehensive. It’s pretty simple, but I can see how people can easily get lost in the dashboard – it’s quite hard on the eyes. But once you get the hang of it, I think the app is pretty good.
At Security.org, we look for cameras with two storage options for a number of reasons. We like the cloud option so that we don’t have to worry about running out of space on our SD cards and hard drives. On the other hand, we like the local storage option as a backup in case something goes wrong with the server. Since some people are reluctant to store information on a private cloud, having both local and cloud storage options is a necessity.
Thankfully, the Arlo Pro 2 has both options. I can connect my hub directly to the hard drive and download the memory from there, or I can also access past recordings through my app. Arlo offers seven days of free cloud storage, which is pretty Generous. I’ve seen many companies only offer 24 hours of free storage.

Yuneec Mantis Q drone review: Voice control isn’t enough
The Mantis Q is a nimble, maneuverable drone, but its 4K video is shaky and its voice control is gimmicky. I’ve been yelling at my gadgets for years, but only recently have them started to listen to me. Technology like Amazon Alexa means you can now control your gadgets with your voice, and drones like the $449 Yuneec Mantis Q are getting in on the game. Unfortunately, voice control feels like a gimmick that doesn’t add much to the experience.
DesignThe Mantis Q is a sleek, futuristic-looking drone that measures about 6.2 x 3.7 x 2.2 inches with arms that fold into the body when not in use. When you want to fly, you unfold the arms and lock them into place.
The remote is slightly smaller than the drone and comes with a nifty foldable smartphone holder. Our iPhone XS slid into the holder easily during testing. There are also two foldable Wi-Fi antennas on the back of the controller, as well as a USB Type-C and USB Type-A port for connecting a smartphone to the controller. A USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable is included for connecting Android phones. iPhones must use the included Apple Lightning to USB cable.
Flight PerformanceThe Mantis Q is an easy drone to fly. Simply unfold it, turn on the remote, connect it to your phone, and press the takeoff button. The drone then takes off and hovers about 5 feet above the ground. In standard flight mode, the Mantis Q is very stable, which is great for beginners. Sport mode makes the drone faster and more maneuverable. Yuneec claims the Mantis Q can reach a top speed of 44.7 mph, but we measured a slightly slower (but still very fast) 33 mph.
In standard flight mode, the Mantis Q is very stable—great for beginners.
The Mantis Q offers a variety of flight modes, including Journey (fly out and back); POI (fly around a point of interest); and Visual Follow (follow a selected object using the camera), either by moving the drone to keep a fixed distance from the target or by keeping the drone stationary and moving the camera. Visual Follow mode works well as long as the target is unique enough to track.
For example, it tracked me without a problem, but had trouble following a dark-colored dog in a meadow. Since the Mantis Q lacks collision detection and the forward-looking camera that drones like the Mavic Air use to avoid objects, it will run right into trees if the subject it’s tracking happens to be hiding behind cover.
Voice ControlThe Mantis Q’s voice control feature is interesting, but feels a little half-baked. The idea is interesting. When you use the app and enable voice control, you can tell the drone to take off by saying “Mantis Q, take off.” To avoid accidents, you have to confirm by saying “yes” when the drone asks. When the drone is flying, you can say “take a selfie” to take a selfie. This is nice, but the remote app sometimes fails to detect voice commands — especially when the drone itself is flying nearby. And you can’t control the drone’s position or attitude with voice. So voice control feels more like a gimmick than a useful feature.
Sometimes, voice commands can’t be detected, especially when the Mantis Q itself is flying nearby.The same is true of the smile feature, which tries to detect when you’re smiling to take a photo. It does work, but I found that you have to smile a big smile to trigger the feature, which makes you look a lot like the Joker. This might be useful if you were Batman, but it doesn’t work for us non-crime fighters.
Photo and Video QualityThe Mantis Q has a 4K camera, but when electronic image stabilization is enabled, the camera resolution drops to a maximum of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1080p). You get video at 60 frames per second, though.
The Mantis Q’s electronic image stabilization is also not as effective as the stabilized gimbals used by drones like the Mavic Air 2. Those drones shoot higher-resolution videos that are sharper and smoother. We also found that the Mantis Q’s stabilized video has an annoying habit of jumping around.
When the drone is tilted to move quickly left or right, the stabilized video remains level for a while, then suddenly shifts to a tilted view in a rather confusing way as the gimbal turns to reflect the drone’s direction. In contrast, drones like the Mavic Air and Mavic Pro physically tilt the camera to adjust for the drone’s movement.
The Mantis Q has a 4K camera, but the camera resolution drops to a maximum of 1080p when you enable electronic image stabilization.Photos and videos are stored on a MicroSD card, which is located in a slot on the left side of the Mantis Q body. A 16GB card comes with the drone.Yuneec Drone Battery LifeYuneec claims that the 3,000 mAh Yuneec Mantis Q drone battery that clips onto the back of the Mantis Q body will last for 33 minutes, and that estimate isn’t far off. We flew for about 25 minutes before the low battery alarm started to sound, and we continued to fly for a few minutes before the app warned us that the drone would automatically return to its starting point soon. The Mantis Q comes with one Yuneec Mantis Q battery, but the included charger can hold three Yuneec Mantis Q drone battery batteries, which are charged in sequence. Spare batteries cost about $60.
ConclusionThe Yuneec Mantis Q feels like a missed opportunity. It’s a nice, easy to fly, and fast drone that shoots pretty good 1080p video. That might have been enough a few years ago, but competing drones like the Mavic Air shoot steadier, more attractive 4K video for just $200 more. The Mantis Q’s voice control feature is nice, but not very useful. As a result, it’s hard to recommend the Mantis Q over similarly priced drones with better features.

HP Pro x2 612 is a business-class 2-in-1 tablet
HP is adding a new 2-in-1 system to its line of business laptops and tablets. The HP Pro x2 612 is a 12.5-inch Windows tablet that features an Intel Haswell processor… and also comes with a keyboard dock that lets you use the system as a laptop. The HP Pro x2 612 comes with an Intel Core i3 or Core i5 processor, a 12.5-inch HD or Full HD display, a Wacom digitizer and stylus, and a slot that lets you store the stylus in the display. The 2-in-1 also has separate batteries for the tablet and notebook portions, giving you up to 14 hours of total HP Pro X2 612 battery life if you opt for the Power Keyboard.
HP will actually offer a few different keyboard models. The Power Keyboard features backlit keys and a spill-resistant surface, and comes with a VGA port, Ethernet jack, and DisplayPort, as well as 2 USB 3.0 ports and an enterprise docking station connector. There’s also a full-size SD card reader in the Power Keyboard.
There’s also a travel keyboard, complete with a USB 3.0 port, an audio jack, and backlit keys… but no backup HP Pro X2 612 battery. The travel keyboard doubles as a cover for the tablet, and comes with a kickstand. Other features that make it a business machine include a smart card reader, TPM, and optional fingerprint reader, and support for 3G or 4G LTE capabilities.
The tablet comes with a USB 3.0 port and a microSD card reader, as well as a microSIM card reader for models with cellular capabilities. The tablet has HD cameras on both the front and back. Battery life is rated at up to eight hours using the tablet alone.
HP will be shipping the tablet with Windows 8.1, but business customers who prefer Windows 7 will have that option as well. HP chose the 12.5-inch screen size for the same reason Microsoft chose the Surface Pro 3 tablet — it’s large enough to be used as a laptop replacement, whether or not the keyboard dock is selected. The difference is that the HP tablet has a widescreen display, rather than the 3:2 aspect ratio of the Surface Pro 3. Unlike the Surface Pro 3, HP says this tablet is built for mobile business professionals who work with a lot of data. They need a product that provides laptop-like functionality on the go, with more ports, security options and a more traditional keyboard than the Surface Pro 3 — not to mention a place to store the digital pen when it’s not in use.

Vivobook S 15 is Asus’ first Copilot+ laptop powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor
Asus has announced laptops powered by Snapdragon X-series processors. This news follows Qualcomm’s announcement earlier today (click here to learn more).
The Vivobook S 15 (model S5507) is also the company’s first Copilot+ PC laptop, marking the first time a Vivobook doesn’t use an Intel chip. However, despite the transition to Snapdragon X Elite, the Vivobook S 15 retains the same impressive OLED display as its predecessor.
The 15.6-inch screen supports resolutions up to 2880 x 1620, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak HDR brightness of 600 nits. In terms of internal configuration, the Vivobook S 15 provides users with two Snapdragon X series processors to choose from: 12-core Snapdragon X Elite or 10-core X Plus. This notebook also supports up to 32GB of onboard memory and 1TB (PCIe 4.) SSD storage. Additionally, it supports Wi-Fi 7, ensuring users get the best wireless speeds.
However, one of the most attractive features of the Vivobook S 15 is Asus’ own proprietary StoryCube. Asus says StoryCube is “the smartest, most convenient and powerful way to manage all your digital assets, using artificial intelligence to assist in sorting, editing, managing and exporting captured raw files.” With the help of Snapdragon X processor NPU, with its powerful features, users can expect accelerated performance in a variety of AI-powered applications, including Windows Studio Effects and Cocreator — but we won’t make any judgments until we get our hands on a Snapdragon X-powered laptop.
