Fitbit Charge 4
This will be my third review of a Fitbit Charge In four years, having first checked out the Charge HR2 in 2016, then the Charge 3 in 2018. I’ve had a Fitbit in one form or another on my wrist virtually 24/7 over the past 5 years, until I won an Apple Watch in a media raffle last Christmas 2019. After a 6-month break from the Fitbit ecosystem, I must admit I’m glad to be back.

AOC 27B1H Monitor
All this time working from quarantine has given me a brand-new appreciation for a large display. For years, I’ve been working on a 15-inch laptop, and it manages to get the job done. Lately though, with more time spent looking at screens than paper, and more opportunities for gaming, I’ve felt that the small display on my laptop just isn’t enough any more. Thankfully, AOC sent a monitor for us to review, in the form of the 27B1H.

Philips 328E9 Monitor
A great CPU is nothing without a monitor to match. You can cash out a bunch on your mobo, proc, and GPU, but since you’re going to be staring at a monitor and not hardware in your PC case, you need a good one to enjoy your build. Philips has been around, and making displays for a long time, so they know their stuff. They’ve sent over the 328E9 for review, just in time for some other hardware I’m testing, so let’s see if it does the PC justice.

Philips XDJ-X5 BT
There’s a lot to be said for going wireless. I prefer it myself, and have a wireless mouse, keyboard, and headset for my own work setup. This is particularly helpful if, like me, you can’t stay still, cutting down the chances of snagging on something and dragging my work area to the floor, When Philips sent over a pair of wired/ wireless headphones for review, I of course jumped on the opportunity to give them a try.
