Introduction The Yaber Ace K1 is an ambitious home projector with a single-LCD design, with fully sealed dust-protected optical package, automatic focus and keystone correction, above average 650 ANSI lumens of brightness and a robust 15-watt speaker.

Weekly poll results: the popularity of foldables is rapidly increasing, horizontal ones in the lead

Some see them as unnecessary, while others think they are the only innovative phones on the market right now – foldables are not ready to take over the market yet, but they are quickly growing in popularity as can be seen in last week’s poll. Price and durability are still the main concerns and most people prefer to stick with old school rigid phones for now.

Weekly poll: Samsung Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34, fan favorites or a missed opportunity?

Samsung’s Galaxy A series is a crowd-pleaser – it looks and feels a lot like the pricier Galaxy S models without costing nearly as much. Sure, the cameras aren’t as nice, performance is lower and so on, but the A series thrives on being “good enough” That is why the arrival of the Galaxy A54 and A34 is such a big deal. Some of the previous entries managed to become fan favorites and are often brought up as recommendations in the comment sections. Can the 2023 generation live up to these expectations? We’ll let you be the judge, but first we need to address what has changed and what has...
