Panasonic HX-A1ME

Image
WHAT IS THE PANASONIC HX-A1ME? The HX-A1ME is Panasonic's entry-level action camera – the baby brother of the  HX-A500E . As an entry level action camera the HX-A1ME cuts a few corners on hardware. Where the  HX-A500E  boasts a 4K video resolution and a separate recording unit, the HX-A1ME only offers Full HD and uses a more standard bullet camera format. Making up for this, the HX-A1ME is also about half the price. PANASONIC HX-A1ME – DESIGN Thanks to its bullet-camera shape and 45g weight, the HX-A1ME is one of the smallest action cameras you'll come across. It makes a  GoPro HERO3  look like it needs to go on a diet, although the recently released  HERO4 Session  is also tiny. There's no built-in screen, and there are only three buttons on the top for control. It's available in black and luminous orange. Panasonic has led the way with standards-based rugged camcorders, and the HX-A1ME continues the tradition. It's waterproof and dust-proof to IP68

Snooper DVR-4HD

WHAT IS THE SNOOPER DVR-4HD? The Snooper DVR-4HD is a dashboard camera with added safety features, including speed camera alerts. The frequency of cameras on cyclists' heads and inside vehicles is increasing, to match those the authorities and commercial interests have proliferated our cities and roads with. The DVR-4HD is designed to give you your own forward-facing surveillance system, so you can capture your own evidence of any incidents that occur ahead. The DVR-4HD is much smaller than a sat-nav, with a 2.7-inch screen. This is a good halfway house, because you do want a decent screen to make sure the camera is pointed in the right direction. But you also don't want a screen so large that it distracts you from the road, or vies with your sat-nav for attention. SNOOPER DVR-4HD – WINDSCREEN MOUNTING The mount is designed to be installed near the top of your windscreen. You could place it to one side, but I found the best position was just beneath the rear view mirr

NutriBullet Rx

WHAT IS THE NUTRIBULLET RX? Not content with making it easier to get your five-a-day through smoothies, NutriBullet is now championing healthy soups with its Rx model. While it isn't the first blender to ramp up the power in order to cook the contents, the Rx is more compact than equivalent professional-style machines. A larger version of its smoothie-blitzing predecessor, it comes with similarly super-sized kit. This includes two cups for making cold drinks and nut butters, and a jug for whizzing together steaming soups at up to 70 o C. NUTRIBULLET RX – DESIGN AND FEATURES The Rx is a grown-up version of the familiar  NutriBullet  design. A power button resides on the side of the unit to switch the Rx on and off, and another button at the front switches it from a minute-long smoothie programme to a seven-minute soup-heating one. However, its mode of operation has changed, with blending activated by dropping the jug or cup with blades onto the base. To stop, you can eit

Kenwood BLP300WH Blend-X Compact

WHAT IS THE KENWOOD BLP300WH BLEND-X COMPACT? Affordable, functional and dinky enough to live out on the worktop, the clue is in the name when it comes to the biggest selling point of the Blend-X Compact. With a footprint that's smaller than full-sized machines, the Blend-X still offers plenty of features. These include two speeds for blitzing soups and smoothies, a pulse mode, a good-sized 1.6-litre goblet with a working capacity of 1.2 litres and a respectable 450W motor. And even though it sits at the budget end of the market, it’s been well designed, with the jug and blades detaching for a thorough clean. KENWOOD BLP300WH BLEND-X COMPACT – DESIGN AND FEATURES It isn't often that much thought goes into the design of a basic blender, so it’s cheering to discover that the Blend-X Compact has plenty going for it. Although it’s available in white, the base has been consciously sculpted with a grey trim to match the control dial. Underneath the unit, large sucker fe

Panasonic TX-65CZ952

WHAT IS THE PANASONIC TX-65CZ952? The TX-65CZ952 is the year’s most "out there" TV. Its £8,000 price is sure to make bank managers weep. Its rear panel is the first we’ve ever seen to sport the designer fabric Alcantara. Although it fails to include some of the smart features found on much cheaper Panasonic TVs, its OLED screen shows that it refuses to compromise on picture quality. The question is, do the TX-65CZ952’s eccentricities make it a lovable rogue or simply a basket case? PANASONIC TX-65CZ952 – DESIGN AND FEATURES The TX-65CZ952 certainly does its best to look like an £8,000 TV. Its 65-inch screen sits on an astoundingly slim chassis – a classic OLED design trait – and within a barely-there frame that leaves you free to focus completely on the pictures it displays.     Build quality is outstanding too – although as is the case with any super-thin OLED TV, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous when attempting to slot the set onto its three-quarter-wid

Philips 50PFT6550

WHAT IS THE PHILIPS 50PFT6550? The Philips 50PFT6550 is a 50-inch TV with – shock horror – a Full HD rather than native 4K screen resolution. Despite its relatively old-school pixel count, it’s far from a basic TV. Its HD pictures are delivered with the help of Philips’ top-level Perfect Pixel HD processing engine. Its sleek design benefits from a three-sided version of Philips’ Ambilight technology. It carries the latest Android smart TV system too. Add to this its reasonable £600 price, and you're looking at a potentially winning formula. PHILIPS 50PFT6550 – DESIGN AND FEATURES The 50PFT6550’s design sets a seriously pretty and luxurious tone. It makes the most of what little there is of its screen frame, for instance, with an opulent-looking metallic silver finish, while the desktop stand – if you choose to use it – brings some gorgeous brushed aluminium glamour to the party. What really singles out the 50PFT6550 from the competition aesthetically, though, i

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+ Keyboard

HANDS-ON WITH SAMSUNG'S GALAXY NOTE 5 AND S6 EDGE PLUS KEYBOARD COVER Samsung Keyboard Cover release date:  Q4 2015 Samsung Keyboard Cover price :  £TBC Samsung Keyboard Cover key features :  Adds physical keyboard to Note 5, S6 Edge+, No need for Bluetooth, Won't run out of battery One of the more left-field products released by Samsung over the past years is the keyboard case that's available for the brand's latest phablet flasghips, the  Galaxy Note 5  and  S6 Edge+ . Imagine the keyboard of an old BlackBerry, but attached to the body of one of Samsung's 5.7-inch devices. It caused quite the stir when it was first shown off last month, but I've finally managed to get some hands-on time with it. And I really don't get it. First off, it's not the best-looking product Samsung has crafted. Even though the Korean company's latest slew of phones has been built from glass and metal, the keyboard cover harks back to the plastic
