De’Longhi Primadonna Elite Touch Fully Automatic Coffee Machine – 2017 Review

AppliancesWritten by Martin Regtien on 28 February 2017.

Here at DigitalReviews we love a good cup of coffee and for many years we have been spoiled when a couple of family members had their own café.

So could a fully automatic coffee machine ever come close to producing what we as baristas loved to brew?
Call us sceptical but willing to be wrong on this score.

So when De’Longhi suggested we have a look at the Primadonna Elite, which is their top-of-the-line fully automatic coffee machine, we couldn’t say no.
And after several weeks of testing and tasting we are pleased to admit that sometimes it’s good to be proven wrong!

Let me show you why.

When Nikola Tesla unveiled his Teleautmaton in 1898, he couldn’t have known how ubiquitous remote controls would become. We now have a remote control for almost everything.

All of them.

Logitech Z337 Bluetooth 2.1 Speaker System - Bold Sound for Small Budgets

AudioWritten by Martin Regtien on 14 December 2016.

On my desk are 3 Logitech products we reviewed and that have been there for ages and are in daily use still: the X-530 speakers (12 years old!), the G-15 Gaming Keyboard and the Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse, both 10 years old.

Message: buy a Logitech product and expect a long and good life together...

So, even though it wasn’t time to replace the X-530 speaker system when Logitech came out recently with the Z337 Bluetooth 2.1 speaker system I was keen to try. My only concern was the low price. Does this mean that the sound would also be low end?

Let’s hear and find out.

The Power Couple: QNAP TBS-453A 4-Bay NASbook with ADATA M.2 SSDs Reviewed

StorageWritten by Martin Regtien on 28 October 2016.

Here at DigitalReviews.net we have been reviewing NAS storage units for about a decade, from very simple one or two bay units to enterprise level rack monsters.

Nothing much surprises us anymore in that field. Except when QNAP announced its NASbook.

This is a form factor that will attract many new users and one of the reasons for its anticipated success will have nothing to do with QNAP but the type of SSDs used in this unit.

We elected to equip them with 4 M2 SSDs from ADATA, a great combination.

Let’s see what this is all about.

CyberPower PR2200ELCDSL UPS – Not Just for when the Lights Go Out....

MiscellaneousWritten by Martin Regtien on 18 October 2016.

To survive as human beings we need air, water, food and shelter. In this modern age you may certainly add electric power to that short list. Without adequate power all but the basic agrarian societies would collapse.

Have you experienced a power outage lately? If you were in South Australia recently you would have experienced a major inconvenience at the very least when everything went dark. And even when the power goes back on the dramas are not over yet for many businesses where computers did not shut down properly when the power tripped.

Enter the Domain of the Uninterruptible Power Supply.
How can a UPS benefit not only businesses but also households?

We will have a look at why UPS units are lifelines for electronic equipment.

Specifically, we are looking at the 2200VA unit from CyberPower.
