After 3 weeks of use, I have some conclusions to draw about this awesome security key. There are some nitpicks that I hope that they address in a future reason, but there is zero reasons not to pick one of these up now, especially if the items I discuss don't bother you at all.
Special thanks to eWBM for providing this key for testing. In the spirit of 100% transparency, the G310 featured in this video was supplied by eWBM and not personally purchased. My goal is to objectively review this product and this is not a paid endorsement.

Today we examine both the i5 and i7 variants of the Gen 1 ThinkPad Helix. This is not an upgradable machine, but it is still an interesting piece of tech that probably came out before it's time. It was well liked, but the price point killed it.

I take a look at the Ticpods that came with my Ticwatch and they turn out to be fairly decent for their price. In short, they actually produce a good quality sound. The fit would probably be best for someone with larger ears to fit the hooks and hopefully, the cable will get more flexible over time.
As always, ask any questions in the comments below and I will do my best to answer them.

Today I do a quick speed test on the physical keyboard and a touch screen keyboard. The winner didn't surprise me, but the gap in time did.
They are currently accepting pre-orders until mid-February and can be found on their main website. Unihertz did not sponsor this video.

At the end of the year 2019, we will take a look at the ThinkPad X61T. If you want a 4:3 tablet-style ThinkPad, this is essentially the last, best option available. While it might not be a heavyweight in the CPU area, there are a few mods that can be done to breathe some new life into this unit.

After seeing lots of media about the growing concerns about Apple hardware lagging behind, I wanted to post this video even though I am on vacation and away from my nicer equipment. I hope you don't mind!
Also, remember when commenting that we all like what works best for each other. If it still works for you, thumbs up!

Today, here is a neat little Dell tablet. While it might not be a powerhouse, for the right use case, this would be a great little tablet.
