Review: Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim Portable Drive
We have been reviewing the 1TB Backup Plus Ultra Slim drive and have been really impressed with it. It is really small, fast, and has a high capacity for storing files.
Review: Panasonic SC-RB5 bluetooth speaker
The Panasonic SC-RB5 bluetooth speaker is a small speaker that uses “Resonance Bass” technology to amplify the sound it produces. Basically this means it vibrates through the base of the speaker into the surface it sits on to boost the sound, giving it great bass and volume.

Review: Panasonic HDD Recorder with Freeview Play (DMR-HWT150EB)
We don’t pay for any live subscription TV services, instead preferring to stick with Freeview for our live TV. A HDD recorder is the perfect compromised between a paid service and a basic Freeview player. With this Panasonic box you are able to pause live TV, rewind, and record TV.
Review: NOW TV (2015 – 2nd gen box)
We have been using NOW TV in our house now for over a year now, and it is a great complement to our YouView tv box. Until I joined their blog squad and got a voucher for a few months of service for the purpose of reviewing, NOW TV was the only money we were spending on tv – we don’t have a Sky or Virgin box.
Review: HEXBUG AquaBot Robotic Fish
James has been hankering after some HEXBUG toys since we first discovered them, and so he was pleased when some robotic fish turned up for us to play with! HEXBUG create small robotic toys that move around quickly when activated – their most recognisable product is the original bugs and nano bugs, which scuttle around obstacle courses at high speed.
Review: Pebli Town
Pebli town has been a huge hit with our two girls, and they have played with it almost every day since we got it – and several times it has kept them amused for an hour or more. This is a clever gadget that brings together technology and imaginative play in a way that really appeals to the kids.
Review: Windows 10
James (My husband – umm.. Dada Geek?) uses Windows on his HP Pavilion x360 2-in-1 convertible laptop, and so he is sharing his thoughts on the new Operating System (OS) on my blog today:
I ‘reserved’ my copy of Windows 10 a few days prior to the release date using the “Get Windows 10” app that came with the latest Windows 8 update. As far as I was aware, this meant my computer would start downloading bits of Windows 10 and would alert me (on or after release date) when it was ready to install. On the release date the Get Windows 10 app informed me that Windows 10 was downloading and that I could check on its progress by clicking the button.
