Apple's decision to ditch the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 handsets has been met with widespread disapproval. Samsung is scrambling to put out the fires (figuratively and literally) as it garners bad press for exploding Note 7 devices. Google Pixel XL seems poised to become a viable alternative to these flagship rivals -- at least, that's what Google is hoping for. Here is the Lifehacker verdict.

Available in Australia at Bunning's Warehouse it's one of the most accessible printers for the Australian consumer -- so how does it stack up to other printers on the market?

A waterproof phone sounds awesome and there are cases out there that provide that kind of extra protection. Tech21's has just released the Evo Xplorer iPhone 6/6s case that touts some impressive waterproofing capabilities. It looks good on paper, but how does it perform in real life? We find out.

The HandiTheatre is a blow-up home theatre solution that comes with (almost) everything you need to set up an outdoor cinema in your backyard.

Gone are the days of the utilitarian faux leather laptop case. Today, we have hundreds of options made from different materials, catering for the needs of those simply wanting to carry their notebook computer safely through to travellers looking for a bag that can double up as a protective cocoon for their mobile office and overnight bag or schoolbag. The STM Trust fits into the latter category, as a great bag for those who need to carry more than just their computer and a charger.

Padlocks have looked the same for almost 2000 years. But smartphone accessory company, Dog & Bone (rhyming slang for phone - get it?) has given the padlock a modern twist with a secure Bluetooth unlocking mechanism. They call it the LockSmart.

You wouldn't really think there could be that much difference between turn-by-turn navigation apps, but even just a glance at Google Maps and Waze shows how different they are. They might both be owned by the same company, but they work completely differently.

I hate carrying too many things in my backpack. It's already hard enough lugging a computer around, and my bag is like a black hole -- things go in and they don’t come out. So will the Lenovo ThinkPad Stack, a compact tower combining four electronic accessories, change my mind? Let's find out.

Imagine a PC in your pocket, free to carry anywhere there's a screen you can use to get your work done. Sure, a laptop works, but a PC-on-a-stick gives you serious freedom and flexibility. The Google Chromebit and Intel Compute Stick both sell that dream pretty hard. We took both for a test drive.

You wouldn't think a smartphone car dock would elicit strong opinions, but I am here to tell you that you are incorrect. I have been searching for a car dock that would hold my ever-bigger phones without being more annoying than it's worth. The Aukey magnetic car mount handles the task flawlessly.

One of the things I really like about the Microsoft Surface Book isn't how useful it is as a tablet, but how useful it is as a laptop. Given that I type and browse the 'net a lot more than I watch video and play touchscreen games, it's important to me that a 2-in-1 laptop be good at the laptop part.
