Thirty quid! Thats all it cost. So it doesn't do much right? Wrong. With this I get my text messages, alerts and notifications, alarms, heart rate monitor, step counter, sleep monitor, stopwatch - and more! It really is a terrific wee thing, especially for the price. Also if you set it up suitably, it will last a MONTH on one charge! An easy 5 out of 5 ! |

In 2015, I bought an early first generation x360 laptop. I absolutely adored it from the word go. I loved how sleek, posh and modern it looked, and on top of that it was responsive and fast, and the touchscreen was superb - I couldn't now cope with a laptop without a touchscreen! The ability to fold it into a tent to watch a video, or into a tablet when reading something was also frequently useful.
Scroll forward to 2019, and I'd realised a flaw with my lovely laptop - the RAM is soldered in, can't be upgraded, and there's only 4GB of it. Windows 10 is struggling. What to do? I can't justify the cost of a new one... but I find a second generation one online, much higher spec (Pen input with pen, 4k screen, i7-6600U processor and crucially 8gb ram), at a very reasonable price, and am delighted when my bid of £344 is accepted. I go on to get £210 for my old one - so I have a bargain upgrade on my hands! The "new" laptop is significantly faster than the original one, the screen is better - brighter and higher resolution, although I'm afraid I can't find a use for the pen...gimmick maybe? In fact the performance seems far better than 8gb should give, I load it up with lots of things at once but it never struggles. I'd highly recommend it! Bought this for just £29, to place on the kitchen counter, and to complement the Google Home in the living room.
Its a cracking wee thing, especially for the price. I use it for cookery timers, and to ask it questions, and for radio stations, and to play music from Spotify (it sounds surprisingly good, and loud for its size). Its very discreet to look at. One of the neatest features is it can be synced to the Google Home in the lounge, and provide seamless music in both rooms. Just a few years ago, you had to pay a lot of money for this functionality. Overall then, highly recommended. |
