Speed up your computer and breathe new life into it in one simple step
If you’ve ever taken a moment to read the ‘About Me’ section of the site you will know that I am the go-to guy for my family and friends on all things relating to technology and computers. Particularly at this time of year when I’m visiting/being visited by more people I get asked a lot of questions, but by far the most common one is something along the lines of “How do I make my computer faster?”. So I thought it would be useful to share my answer with you all as it is possible to give your computer a new lease of life in one fairly simple step!
ZAGG smartbuds review
Having bought an iPhone 4 a couple of months ago I found that the included earphones were constantly dropping out, which made them useless. So I dipped into the market for a replacement, but was a bit apprehensive having bought and discarded several sets in the past which also wouldn’t stay in.
I wanted something relatively inexpensive with inline microphone and remote that were fully compatible with the iPhone 4 and its iPod features. The sound needed to be high quality but not too bass-heavy and the earphones themselves needed to stay in and be comfortable. I also wanted a set with a case to store them in when travelling.
I eventually happened upon the ZAGG smartbuds priced at $49.99 (around £31) which are made by ZAGG, the company behind the popular InvisibleShield screen protectors for electronic devices. I checked the technical specifications on the product page and decided that they met all my criteria, so I ordered them. I was drawn by the fact that the smartbuds are noise cancelling and have a unique “Hangin’ Tight” feature which means the buds just hang around your neck when not in use as seen in the picture above. The wires are also coated in ZAGG’s InvisibleShield material for extra strength and to ensure the cords stay tangle-free. Read more
