Blink S Electric Skateboard Review: A Balance Between Power and Portability

Acton–after seeing my video on the Blink Lite (their super portable and inexpensive electric skateboard that’s worth a look)–reached out and asked if I wanted to try out their brand new electric skateboard the Blink S, to which I replied, “DUH”. Head here to get the Blink S with a special discount for TheUnlockr readers! Two boxes showed up not too long after and I proceeded to tear them open in a frenzy of excitement open them delicately. In the smaller, more confusing box, I found a helmet (which I won’t use honestly, but was nice to know they’re thinking of […]

Furbo Dog with Puppy

Toss Treats, Talk to Your Dog, & Ease Anxiety w/ This Awesome Gadget!

A friend of mine got a new puppy not too long ago, and while he’s pretty damn cute, he’s also a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which apparently is another name for “I’m a breed with separation anxiety and just want to sit on laps and stop you from doing anything besides loving me”. Soon as she would leave her apartment, the barking and howling would begin, then came the calls from the neighbors followed by the mental anguish of always wondering if he was barking when she wasn’t home. When she mentioned all of this to me, I was reminded

Razer Blade and Razer Blade Stealth

Razer Blade Stealth Review: A Sleek, Sexy, Black Metal Ultrabook

You know what there needs to be more of? Premium looking & feeling Windows laptops. Seriously, have you been to a BestBuy or other electronics store and wandered into the Windows laptop section? The slight glimmer of metal here but mostly, cheap-looking plastic devices that are either clunky or overpriced. Now that’s not to say there isn’t some that have good internal hardware at least, but if you want something with decent power and yet also looks like it wasn’t styled by a 4 year old with a crayon, you’re pretty limited. (It’s no wonder Macbooks have a such a solid

How to Get an Unlimited WiFi HotSpot for Traveling Overseas (Video)

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. Meeting interesting people, learning about new cultures/languages, and there’s something about the uncomfortable nature one gets when traveling alone that I thoroughly enjoy. Something I don’t enjoy about the traveling experience is losing my connection to everyone back home or the inability to access pertinent information while traveling because of shoddy wifi access, my phone not working like it does back home, etc. This year, when getting ready for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I received something that – I didn’t know at the time – would become something that was

LG G6 in Hand

LG G6 Review: Great Dual Cameras, Unique Styling & Screen, Waterproof

LG just launched their LG G6 flagship phone at Mobile World Congress a couple of weeks ago and were kind enough to let me borrow one while I was there. I’ve had a bit of time to use it as my daily phone now and I think it’s time to do the review. Check out the unlocked GSM version here on Amazon. The Design I’ve gotten more compliments on the way this phone looks than any other phone I’ve used in a while. And it’s not really that much of a surprise. Look at it. From the ultra thin bezels,

Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8 Plus Hands-On (Video)

Even though there have been so many leaks about these phones leading up to this event, they are finally official and I got to use them for a bit at the Unpacked 2017 Samsung Launch Event. Here’s the low-down on the new phones and everything you need to know. Design The big stand-out feature you’ll immediately notice is the screen. Like the Edge devices before it it has a screen that wraps over the edges of the device and curve into the body giving the appearance of a bezel-less (at least on two sides) display. At the top and bottom

Touchscreen on Mac

How to Give Any Laptop a Touchscreen (Video)

I like touchscreens on laptops. So much so that I have caught myself, after a long time with such a laptop, tapping at the screen of another, non-touchscreen, variety in vain. Then quickly remembering that the one I’m using doesn’t have a touchscreen, laughing at myself, and checking to see if anyone else saw me just poke at my Macbook screen. It’s not just mac either, there are plenty of other laptops like Chromebooks and Windows computers that don’t have a touch screen. But what if you could change that? A product called the Neonode Airbar aims to quickly solve that

LG Watch Style Watchface

LG Watch Style Review: Cheap and Stylish (Video)

Along with the LG Watch Sport that was announced a bit ago, LG also launched the smaller, potentially more stylish and therefore aptly named, LG Watch Style. After using it for a bit, think we’re ready for a review. As with the LG Watch Sport review I just did, which you can check out here, the LG Watch Style is the other watch to launch with Android Wear 2.0, Google’s serious overhaul of their wearable operating system. Check out the LG Watch Sport video review here. Android Wear 2.0 As I also mentioned in the Sport review, Android Wear 2.0

LG Watch Sport

LG Watch Sport Review: The Best Standalone Fitness Watch? (Video)

LG just launched the first watches with Android Wear 2.0, the LG Watch Sport is the larger of the two and, in case you couldn’t tell by the name, is aimed more at the more active user. After using it for a bit, I think I’m ready to give a full review of the LG Watch Sport. Android Wear 2.0 First off, the LG Watch Sport (and the LG Watch Style) are the first watches to launch with Android Wear’s big design overhaul, Android Wear 2.0. Android Wear 2.0 is a big part of features on this watch, but the thing is,

The Coolest Looking Razor You Can Buy (Video)

I think I look like I’m twelve when I shame of my beard entirely, so generally, I like to keep at least a little stubble going on here. If I let it grow out on the other hand, it’s oddly a red beard thanks to a great grandmother or someone with in my family being a redhead and frankly it just looks quite ridiculous. Now, all of that means, that I need to keep this in check and that means I need have a decent razor. My last one finally died and while looking for a new one, I found the coolest

Best Portable Charger with a Real Outlet (Video)

I love portable chargers. I have so many gadgets and I’m constantly on the road so it’s helpful to be able to reach into my bag and pull out a portable battery pack, plug in my phone or other USB device and not have to panic that I’ll be disconnected from the world (a legitimate fear I have). Thing is, there has always been one device that I also always have with me that I haven’t been able to charge using the portable chargers I’ve always had –my laptop. That is until I found this.

Razer Blade 2016 Review: So Much Power in a Small Package (Video)

Laptops are getting ridiculously powerful. With the latest generation of graphics cards that have all come out last year that are smaller, cheaper, and more powerful than the generations before them, it’s no longer hard to find laptops with comparable desktop power without having to go for a professional gaming laptop which are frankly unfairly called laptops. Try putting one of those on the top of your lap and let me know how that goes for you. So where is the sweet spot then, powerful enough for my video editing needs while still being as small as my old Macbook

Crazybaby Mars Floating Speaker

Crazybaby Mars: A Floating Speaker You Can Buy Right Now (Video)

There might not be a real need for floating speakers, but damn they look cool. One of the first ones to the market is by a company called Crazybaby and it’s called the Mars. Here’s where to buy one. The name is fitting considering how flying saucer-like the floating part of the speaker looks. This visually impressive feat is because of a few very powerful magnets that is holding up what is essentially the tweeter speaker or the speaker that produces the higher frequencies while the bass speaker is essentially the base. Both the base and the saucer are battery

Motiv Ring on Finger

Motiv: First Proper Fitness Tracker That Goes On Your Finger (Video)

Most wearables are worn on your wrist, but a few companies have dared to make the long journey down the hand to the finger. We’ve seen ones that can light up when you get a notification, ones that are essentially an NFC device but not ones that have the same type of sensors that fitness trackers usually do. Finally though, there’s Motiv. A very minimalistic looking metallic ring the deceivingly simple looking device can do more than you think. It can track heart rate through your finger and also track steps which it then uses to determine calories you’ve burned,

Carnival Medallion

Carnival Cruise Just Launched a Wearable and It’s Crazy (Video)

Remember the scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise enters a department store, is recognized by the holographic assistant based on his eyes being scanned to asked how his last purchase was? Carnival Cruise, just took a big step in that direction with the launch of their Medallion here at CES. The device, a small wearable called a Medallion is similar to the Disney Magic Band announced back in March and the idea is similar. Upon registering for the cruise, you input things like whether you like to party, prefer to relax, whether you brought children, etc. and upon arriving
