Focal Chora 806 Speakers Review – It’s no joke. At around AU$1,299 retail price, these bookshelf speakers are not your usual bookshelf speakers that you can grab for just a couple of hundred bucks.

I’ve been trying to compile our Japan holiday trip in October but I made a “mistake” shooting them all in 4K, 60fps with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I thought my PC is powerful enough that it can handle these 4K clips just fine. Apparently, I was wrong. All video editing applications I have so […]

WD My Passport (2019) Review – Western Digital recently updated their portable storage line, WD My Passport with a more stylish design and more importantly, slimmer in size.

Creative Outlier Gold Review – I’ve always been a fan of Creative since the 90s and when I received these Creative Outlier Gold earbuds, I was initially surprised by its features-packed and affordability, especially given its RRP costs $139.95 at the time of writing. These wireless earbuds give other manufacturers (that cost much more) a […]

SteelSeries Apex Pro Review – SteelSeries’ latest flagship mechanical gaming keyboard, the Apex Pro, has a very unique feature that other brands don’t: adjustable mechanical switches. While most traditional mechanical gaming keyboards would normally advertise having specific mechanical switches (whether CherryMX or custom-made switches) with specific specs. However, SteelSeries Apex Pro takes these further by […]

Amazon Echo Studio Review – For a while now, fans of Amazon speaker products (like the Echo Dot or Echo) were longing for something more, something that sounds better.

SteelSeries Sensei Ten Review – We reviewed the original SteelSeries Sensei gaming mouse back in 2011 (yes, Craving Tech has been around that long!). It’s shiny, sexy, and really iconic.

Close Comfort COOL FOCUS Review – While Summer is practically over here in Australia, we still get really sunny days even in Melbourne.

Gamers on the Playstation have been itching to get their hands on the Final Fantasy VII Remake for many months (if not years now). While the release date is not long now (10 April 2020), to most fans, that can sound like an eternity. I played the original back in 1997 (yes, I’m that old) […]

While Instagram has recently made it so that you can reply your Instagram direct messages from your web browser, unfortunately there is no way yet to post photos to Instagram from your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, etc).

Moving Out Review – Playing multiplayer games with friends on the same couch is pure fun. Laughing, screaming, high-fiving, you name it.

Twitter had done many drastic changes in the past. While the original idea was to convey your message in the least words possible (it was kind of like an art to find ways to cut the words down), changes were applied to make sure you could actually say more. Back in May 2016, Twitter removed […]

Given the economic impact of COVID-19 and a possible coming recession, Australian businesses need to identify and plug financial leakage quickly to prevent further losses.

As a first-time parent with a less-than-two-weeks-old newborn, peace of mind comes first.

Withings Steel HR Sport Review – The first time I heard about Withings was years ago. Back then, smartwatches were bulky and in my opinion, too “gadget-y” looking.

Amazon Echo Show 8 Review – The Amazon Echo Show 5 was a really good Alexa smart device with display, but in large rooms, it can feel too small. It has a 5.5-inch display and a compact size that makes it perfect for bedside tables and a few other compact places. However, if you want […]
