CHJGD Power Banks Unboxing

bulldog_handIt’s power bank city here in the Tech Addicts Headquarters and we have a selection of high end, premium, power banks to share with you. Having looked at the budget end with the EasyAcc 900mAh power bank, CHJGD have sent over their two of their of their most popular power banks alongside a new unit that is due for launch right about now.

The three powerbanks are available from https://chargedpower.com/ alongside some other sexy accessories.

CHJGD Midas Premium Luxury Li-Polymer Power bank – This 8000mAh battery in Sapphire Blue is available for £39.99. This is the big daddy of the collection. A beautifully designed unit with zero frills or gimmicks, the focus is on top quality looks and build. The price is quite high for a powerbank and with so many cheaper units out there this makes it difficult to justify. However, once in hand you can feel the elegance and quality. For my Nexus 6P I would see around 3 full charges off of one fully charger unit.

CHJGD Fastcharge Premium Luxury – A 4000 mAh, Gold Power Bank is available for £19.99. The modest price tag of this unit explains the slight dip in quality, however this is when compared to the beautiful Midas, whilst only half the price and capacity that doesn’t mean its half the quality, far from it in fact. This unit is still massively more beautiful compared to most of the competition and you would not be ashamed to in any way to pull this out and hook it up to your phone.

CHJGD Ultracompact 10K mAh Bulldog Credit Card sized Power Bank is available for £29.99. The newest addition to their catalogue, a higher price tag is justified by the quality feel. Certainly the non-slip feel and the impressive artwork boost the appeal and whilst the unit is quite thick you have to remember this is a 10,000mAh. Compared to others of this size, this is particularly small device. The fast charge feature will see around 50% of you battery restored in around 30 minutes, maybe more.

These are three incredibly desirable Power Banks and you will be getting a lovely unit for the money.

EasyAcc 9000mAh Waterproof Power Bank Review

P1030010 When it comes to the Powerbank there is no shortage of options. There are many recognisable brands now and many accessory companies trying to make their mark. One such company is EasyAcc. Having used a number of their power banks in the past it is a brand that I can feel you recommend when it comes to choosing.

Most recently I have been using the EasyAcc Rugged 20000mAh powerbank as my daily backup power source and am pretty pleased with the results, even though it is pretty huge. Admittedly one of the latches that hold the door closed has broken making it a little fiddly to open the door. However, the powerbank lasts a full working week and only needs charged over the weekend.

This brings us to the EasyAcc 9000 mAh power bank. This backup battery is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof. Features a compass, detachable Carabiner, a 2.1 amp output, 2 amp input and is compatible with almost everything has a USB charger. As with most of these power banks of late there is an inbuilt LED flashlight.

The build of the battery is tough and robust, having used it for a couple of weeks I’m glad to say it shows no signs of wear and tear and could totally handle a camping trip to one of the more extreme climates for where it has been designed to perform. The battery itself can handle around three or four good charges of my Nexus 6P.

Size wise for a 9000 mAh battery inside a tough enclosure this unit is perfect. Not too big to avoid being cumbersome and not too small, being easy to grip and easy to find.

P1030011

However, I will say that the compass does feel like an afterthought and doesn’t provide much use however I guess it might be a lifesaver if the situation was to present itself. Also the door on the bottom is quite difficult open which is more reassuring when you think about the waterproof properties. With gloves you will struggle to get it open and it really requires your nails to get in underneath to prize the door open. I guess that is both a pro and con.

One thing that might not actually be a big issue the power bank does suffer from not being able to charge during the rain as the door needs to be open. I’m not sure of this problem would present itself too many users however it is something to keep in mind.

This little battery will continue to be in my travel sack. It’s a great backup and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone on the market looking for something a little more robust.

EasyAcc are always keep their prices low and have even set up a Flash Deal page were you could save a few if you keep an eye on it.

Petcube Camera Review

IMG_20160521_152450Let’s face it our cats and dogs are as important to us as any other member of the family. We show our dog the love he deserves by giving him paws plus one quality dog products from www.pawsplusone.co.uk – home page. Insuring they looked after and entertained during the day whilst we are at work is one of our higher priorities. Be at ease on vacation when you leave your dog at the best dog boarding kennels melbourne northern suburbs. To keep your dogs healthy, consider giving them the best cbd oil for dogs. Petcube camera promises to do this whilst essentially just being an IP camera whilst also operating as an activity centre and it looks pretty good to boot.

Inside the Petcubes attractive exterior are three things. Firstly an IP camera, This requires minimal setup, works almost first time, seems to be fairly reliable and whilst the quality isn’t superb it is certainly serviceable.
Secondly, a microphone and speaker.  For your animals to be able to hear your voice whilst you are not their offers a lot of reassurance. This can also be useful for directing family members to find something in a room.
Thirdly, a laser beam. The primary focus of the laser beam is a distraction for your animal.  dogs aren’t terribly amused by it however cats and children love it.

P1020988

These three things are housed within the black and silver housing. The silver aluminium around the outside is strong and elegantly designed. The black glass on the front proves fingerprinty, however it looks well and with the three small divisions for the camera laser and Petcube logo/notification light this device wouldn’t be distracting sitting on a shelf.

P1020991

Around the back of the device there is a rubberised exterior that houses the power button the micro USB charger and the speaker. On the bottom is a rubberised surface with the tripod hole added for convenience.

For over a century, AMCs have provided people with many quality and trusted products in their line of pets, from simple bird toys to advanced bird cages. They are known for their quality and are highly sought after by professionals. As such, it’s important that you are able to get the best deal when you’re looking for these or other items for sale. The following tips will help you save money on the items you need for your home, while also finding them at a good price.

Screenshot_20160521-151821

Using the device is very simple, everything runs through an app that is compatible with both Android and iOS, sadly no reference to Windows just now. Once set-up the application is easy to navigate and proves to be a fun distraction even if not being used for it’s main purpose. Petcube have taken the opportunity to make the app a more Social experience,  allowing the user to view other shared cameras and you can even interact with the animals belonging to the shared profiles if the user has opted to give access.

The image quality can be a little uneven. Whilst you can connect to the device whilst out of the house the stream picture quality can really become degraded depending on the quality of  the network you are connected to. Even inside the house on the 5 Ghz wifi the picture quality  was less than stellar. Camera support is 720p and I rarely saw anything close to that. You can watch if your pet is drinking enough water from their cat fountains.

Initially I thought the asking price of £170 was quite steep, having spoken to a number of interested parties I realise that people are happy to pay this amount for such a device.  Cheaper options certainly are not as elegant, perhaps omit the laser or the two way audio function, or might be more problematic to setup.

One thing that could be added to the Petcube help function a little better would be a battery inside it. If the power goes down this goes down. Also you are limited to putting this close to a power outlet, even temporarily.

Petcube Camera is a fun and interesting device. Those dedicated to their animals and not wanting to install a lesser, uglier product I can fully recommend the Petcube as a good looking and feature filled device.

Superbook gives your phone that Laptop potential

12671689-d4ea-42e5-b701-17ce1579542aWhilst Microsoft are blowing trumpets out there for Continuum there is no real alternative currently available for Android. Certainly there is Air Droid however it’s just to much of a different approach to be considered an alternative. Whilst Chrome itself has a nice Remote Desktop client that is very reliable and both of these options require an internet connection. However, they are a world apart from Continuum. So there is a gap in the market.

That’s were the brand new Andromium OS steps in. With a clean, sleek design to match the aesthetics of a “Superbook.” The Superbook is a laptop shell, purposefully engineered to give any Android smartphone the capabilities of a complete, internet-connected laptop. Inside the hardware is the technology to translate video data over USB, meaning it’s universally compatible with nearly any Android smartphone. Just download the Andromium app from the Play store, connect the smartphone to a Superbook, and that’s it, your phone is now a laptop.

We won’t see this on the market right away, The Superbook and Andromium is on scheduled to launch on @Kickstarter on June 15th! However, it  sounds like the sort of thing that could work. There have been several attempts over the years to create a dumb terminal that translates your phone into a laptop operating system however none have been as conceptually realise as the Superbook. The names Redfly and Palm Foleo spring to mind, ideas that might have been ahead of the time. The Superbook may just arrive with time enough to make an impression before Google does something about the position of Chrome and Android.
