Vertux Tantalum
Keyboards and mice are a bit of a touchy subject in the gaming world. These two peripherals remain the most subjective weapon in a gamer’s arsenal. While many prefer the high-end mechanical keyboards with aluminum alloy finish, others make do with regular budget keyboard and mouse. Vertux, Promate’s gaming line, aims to bring a bit of high-end gaming down to the modest of prices, but does it compare to the big boys in the club?

Now that I had my hands on the phone here’s what I found out.

Nokia 5310 (2020)
I have been in this business for a long time now, and while new products are always exciting, I do miss the days when Nokia was at the top of the mobile phone market and releasing devices that were designed to be nothing if not different. While those days are now gone, we’re starting to see signs of the renewed Nokia, and that old fire that put them on top. Nokia sent over the 2020 edition of the 5310, a popular device in its day, so we got to see if there’s room for a device like this more than a decade after the original hit the market.

Nespresso Latissima Touch
I love good coffee but cannot justify splurging on a high-end fully-automatic machine, so I’ve settled for more affordable models that offer a decent brew. In the past, I’ve had a Starbucks Barista home espresso machine and a CBTL Kaldi with accompanying milk frother. Late last year, I was persuaded to try out a latte macchiato at a Nespresso pop-up store, and that sealed the deal for the Latissima Touch. Here’s my longterm review.
