LaCie RuggedKey 3.0 32GB Review

Image
PROS /  The LaCie RuggedKey 3.0 is the most durable flash drive we reviewed, as it is heat, cold, dust and water resistant. CONS /  The cap also functions as the drive's plastic casing, so if it gets lost, so does its durability. VERDICT /  This USB 3.0 drive is fast and secure enough for data-rich transfers, and it can withstand a lot of abuse. If you take your data with you on all of life's adventures, the LaCie RuggedKey 3.0 will appeal to you. Resistant to heat, cold, dust, water and drops from up to 100 meters, this is as close to indestructible as a  USB flash drive  can be. In addition to its durability, the RuggedKey transfers data somewhat quickly.

Our Picks for Best USB Wireless Network Adapters 2016 By  WirelessHack   |   April 1, 2016 0 Comment When buying a USB network adapter / dongle knowing a few things will go a long way to fit your setup. Finding a  USB network adapter  that works best for the desktop, laptop, tablet, and router you use is the main objective. So let’s look at the things that are important to know with WiFi today. Distance  2.4 GHz was the frequency used for WiFi until 2013 when the 5 GHz band was opened up for wireless devices. The thing is the higher the frequency the less distance it can reliably travel. So a dongle using the old 2.4 GHz will transmit farther than the new 5 GHz dongles. So why use the new 5 GHz band?  Simply put there are too many devices talking in the 2.4 GHz frequency. It has become overcrowded which slows everyone down trying to get a signal through. The new 5 GHz while not able to send a signal as far, is not crowded and relatively unused. If you live in a crowded ci

INTRODUCTION On ne vous présente plus la marque franco-chinoise Wiko. Le cheval de Troie européen du Chinois Tinno est présent sur le territoire français depuis trois ans déjà et s’est déjà fait remarquer en sortant des téléphones d’entrée de gamme honorables. Le Wax marque une nouvelle étape pour Wiko. C’est son premier téléphone  4G  mais aussi l’un des rares smartphones du moment compatible LTE et vendu moins de 200 euros. Pour être compatible 4G, Wiko a du se séparer de son partenaire de longue date, MediaTek, et se tourner vers Nvidia et son Tegra 4i. Si l’on en croit les promesses de Wiko, le Wax est le téléphone au meilleur rapport qualité/prix/performances du moment. Et c’est bien ce que nous allons vérifier dans ce test. UNE FICHE TECHNIQUE QUI VEND DU RÊVE Modèle Wiko Wax Version Android 4.3 Taille d'écran 4,7 pouces Technologie écran IPS - HD, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 Définition 720 x 1280 pixels Résolution 315 ppp Processeur NVIDIA Tegra 4i, SL 440 -1.7G

Sony Xperia Z5

 Sony Xperia Z5 Compact released in the US in February, albeit with minor changes. All of these are reflected in our new review. The Xperia Z5 Compact stands alone: Sony is the only Android manufacturer making a small high-end phone right now. That means that it could be the last stand for compacts. If the Z5 doesn't deliver, it's likely to be the last time we see top specs in a scaled-down form factor, for a while at least. Buy Sony Xperia Z5 Compact at Amazon for $444.95 But it does deliver. Like the  Xperia Z3 Compact  before it, the Xperia Z5 Compact puts an impressive array of features comfortably into the palm of your hand, and makes you wonder why no other brands are interested in this niche. Not everyone wants a giant phone, and who could be blamed for wanting to use their whole screen without needing both hands? The Xperia Z5 Compact sits alongside two other new phones from Sony. There's the  Sony Xperia Z5 , which offers a 5.2-inch 1,08
