Nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter review – CNET


The Good Quickly turns a USB-C port into a regular USB 3.0 port. It’s only 10 bucks.

The Bad Nothing. Like I said, it’s only $10.

The Bottom Line The Nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter is the cheapest way to connect your iPhone or iPad to your new MacBook and is totally worth its $10 price.

The Nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter plugs into a USB-C port and lets you plug USB 3.0 devices like traditional portable drives into it.

And it works amazingly well, supporting virtually every USB device I threw at it, including an SD card reader, a few portable drives, many thumbdrives, one printer, an iPhone 6S and an iPad Air.

In fact, at just $10, this Nonda adapter is the cheapest way to connect your iPhone or iPad to your new MacBook Pro or 12-inch MacBook. Otherwise, you’ll need to spend $25 for a USB-C-to-Lightning cable.

2016 McLaren 570S review – Roadshow


The Good The 570S’ lightweight construction and superbly communicative controls enable drivers to get the best out of the engine and chassis.

The Bad Sub-par infotainment tech mars an otherwise remarkable supercar experience.

The Bottom Line McLaren’s least-expensive offering is also its most compelling.

It’s a rare thing when a car company’s least expensive offering is also its best. It’s an especially rare feat among high-end automakers, but it happens every once in a while. It requires distilling down the essence of a company’s core philosophies about everything from driving dynamics to styling and tech into one product.

The Evora 410 is the fastest Lotus ever

The Evora 400 was no slouch but the 410 adds just that little extra to be the fastest road going Lotus ever.

Drag

BMW’s M division arguably managed that trick a few years ago with its 1 Series M Coupe, a sharp-handling two door that wore the company’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” mantra on its sleeve, even as the German automaker was arguably in the middle of retreating from that very mission statement.

And now there’s the 570S, an “entry-level” supercar that’s part of McLaren’s Sport Series. Notice the scare quotes — anything with a starting price tag of $184,900 is unlikely to be a bargain-basement proposition, but the sharply styled Brit nevertheless goes without some key McLaren tech in its quest for a more accessible price point. You won’t find the spookily effective hydraulic anti-roll system employed on the 650S or 675LT, nor the active aero pack that includes Mac’s novel active Airbrake rear wing. And it goes without saying that the 570S lacks the hybrid electric assist found on the (now out-of-production) P1 hypercar.

You won’t miss any of it.

2016-mclaren-570s-43.jpg

How on Earth can anything that looks and drives like this be an entry-level model?

Nick Miotke/Roadshow

What you will find with the 570S are the same theatrical butterfly doors and the same lightweight, ultra-rigid carbon construction clothed in aluminum panels. This time, there’s a reshaped passenger tub to allow for easier ingress and egress, affording a slightly larger interior in the process. The 570S and its slightly posher 570GT sibling have been expressly designed to be more usable — a bit less “trackday and special occasion,” and a bit closer to a daily drivable machine like the Audi R8 V10 Plus and Porsche 911 Turbo S. Both of those are worthy supercars the 570S counts among its chief rivals.

So the 570S is more accommodating, but it’s no less special to drive. Like other McLarens, the 570S is still powered by the same compact, yet characterful 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, tuned here to net 562 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. Those are solid but not overwhelming figures for this class, but it’s the 570S’ feathery construction that gives it an edge in the power-to-weight ratio stakes. Weighing in at around 3,200 pounds, it’s several hundred pounds lighter than its nearest rival and that pays big dividends dynamically.

That lightness not only translates into an official 0-60-mph time of 3.1 seconds, it also means there’s substantially less heft to halt under braking and less mass threatening to pull you off the apex while slingshotting around corners. The 570S’ mid-engined layout was already inherently ideal for handling, but being so light has cascading benefits. Doing more with less has enabled McLaren’s engineers to specify less-than-monster meats, for instance. That’s especially up true front, where 225/35 ZR19 Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires come good in the form of reduced unsprung weight and lighter, quicker-reacting steering. Less weight means improved dynamics, heightened driver feedback and improved efficiency. It’s a virtuous cycle.

Cabin seems to be sponsored by the makers of the suede-like material Alcantara. This is a good thing.

Nick Miotke/Roadshow

As car reviewers, we’ve been taught to believe that true modern sports cars have limited-slip differentials and torque vectoring hardware that mechanically overdrives the outer wheel in a corner to aid turn-in. Conversely, in a corner, the 570S relies on individually braking the inner wheels to induce yaw and tighten the car’s trajectory. This is widely considered to be a less elegant, less effective way to add torque vectoring, and is generally viewed among gearheads with suspicion as a cost-saving technique.

I’m not sure if McLaren’s engineers collectively graduated from Hogwarts, but there are at least a couple of tricks in the 570S’ arsenal that feel downright magical, and this is one of them. Simply put, the 570S gets around corners magnificently, without any of that extra hardware. This is one of the best-handling cars on the planet, and more to the point, it’s one of the best feeling ones while doing so. The always quick, always light steering offers excellent feedback and the standard carbon-ceramic brakes are a perpetual joy to use. And regardless of what mode you have the suspension in, you can faithfully feel what the chassis is doing underneath you, yet there’s no punishing ride as an ugly byproduct of tuning for handling.

For something that enables a 0-60 time of just 3 seconds, the small-displacement V8 feels surprisingly docile around town, it never comes across as hair-trigger nervous, thanks in part to its well-mannered partner, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that works well whether left to its own devices or grabbed by its cantilevered paddle shifters. Downsides? There’s a decent-sized sliver of turbo lag before the engine builds enough revs to wake the forced induction bits, a momentary pause that asks your right foot, “Are you really sure you want to light this Roman candle?”

Satechi Slim Aluminum Type-C Multi-Port Adapter review – CNET


The Good Compact with a smart design. Adds two USB 3.0 ports and a 4K-capable HDMI port via USB-C.

The Bad There’s no SD card slot and it’s kind of pricey. The device’s USB-C port can’t transfer data and can only be used for charging.

The Bottom Line A pricey but useful adapter for anyone who wants to use a MacBook but see the results on a much bigger screen.

The Slim Aluminum Type-C Multi-Port Adapter from Satechi is a small dongle that turns a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port into an HDMI port, capable of delivering 4K video to any large-screen TV.

What’s more, it also has two USB 3.0 ports to connect regular USB devices, like an iPhone, an iPad or a thumbdrive, to your laptop at the same time.

If you use a 12-inch MacBook, which has only one USB-C port, it’s helpful that the adapter also has a USB-C port of its own for pass-through charging (you connect your MacBook’s power cord to the adapter and it charges your computer) but you can’t use the port to transfer data.

The adapter worked well. I liked the fact that it connects to a computer via a short 5.5-inch cable, giving it some flexibility when I moved the laptop around a bit so nothing became accidentally unplugged. An SD card slot would have been a nice addition, but if you can live without that slot, the adapter is well worth its current cost of $60.

Satechi Type-C Pass-through USB Hub review – CNET


The Good Conveniently adds an SD card slot, a miniSD slot and two USB 3.0 ports to your MacBook’s USB-C port.

The Bad The drive doesn’t fit securely enough and could easily fall out if you’re not careful. The pass-through USB-C port can only be used for charging, not data transfers. And there’s no HDMI.

The Bottom Line Far from perfect, this is nonetheless an essential accessory for any new MacBook owner.

There’s no SD card slot in the new MacBook Pros or the 12-inch MacBook. I hate this. I really do. I’m transferring files from my camera to my computer all the time. Without this slot, it’s incredibly difficult to get my work done.

The Satechi Type-C USB Pass-through Hub is my savior. It can be plugged into your MacBook’s USB-C port — just like you would a thumb drive — adding two USB 3.0 ports, one SD card slot and one miniSD card slot to the computer. There’s also an embedded USB-C slot that lets you charge your computer or other devices, but not transfer data.

One thing, though: The device runs along the side of your MacBook while connected, but only connects through the USB-C port. And since there’s nothing other than the lone port to keep it connected, if you attach a large enough device, like an external hard drive and then move the laptop around too much, it can detach quite easily.

Also if you happen to lift the laptop up with the hub plugged in, as well as a few devices plugged into the hub, you risk bending the hub in a way that may make it snap off from the port. So be careful. With the amount of ports it supports already, the lack of an HDMI port is disappointing. But if you can be mindful of its fragility, the convenience it brings, especially if you use a dSLR camera, is totally worth its sub-$40 price.

ASUS ZenFone 3 review


ASUS first unveiled the mid-range ZenFone range of smartphones in 2014, and with ZenFone 3, the company wants to break away from the budget segment and is looking to increase its market share in the premium segment where it competes with the likes of the impressive OnePlus 3 and Honor 8 for example.

Available in two variants – one with a 5.2-inch display (3GB RAM/32GB internal storage) and the other with a 5.5-inch display (4GB RAM/64GB internal storage) – the ZenFone 3 packs mid-range innards into an all-new glass chassis and holds no qualms about its higher pricing.

Is it worth the price and does ASUS deliver on its marketing pitch of a ‘premium’ mid-range smartphone? We find out in this, our review of the Asus Zenfone 3.

In this review, we’re focusing on the smaller Zenfone 3 ZE520KL variant, which has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The other one is ZenFone 3 (ZE552KL), which has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The two variants differ in size and memory departments only while packing in the same processor, camera and overall experience.Show More

Design

The ASUS ZenFone 3 is a refreshing change from the common, and increasingly boring, all-metal design of smartphones in the market.

The ZenFone 3 sports 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass on the front and rear held by a metal frame. It’s stylish, sturdy (and can easily take random knocks on the glass), and quite attractive. The polished metal chamfers on the front and rear and the absence of antenna lines at the back are nice touches, and a testimony of the company’s focus on elegance here.

The compact size and the 7.69mm slim profile combined with the rounded edges makes it a delight to grip in the hand (How I miss smaller smartphones!). At 145 grams, it’s not the lightest smartphone out there, but is comfortable to hold. The all-glass design though means that it is a tad slippery, and I’d avoid holding it carelessly. Also, as one would imagine, it is a fingerprint magnet – the smudges being more prominent in the black variant I reviewed than in other colors I’d assume.

asus-zenfone-3-review-13

Yet it’s not all hunky-dory. The capacitive navigation buttons below the display are not backlit. Sometimes you’d end up fumbling to find them in the dark, and although it becomes an impulsive thing after few days of usage, this is a poor design element in a smartphone at this price.

Most people complain about the protruding rear camera too. Yes, it does not sit flush with the back, but I really didn’t mind it much, and it doesn’t hurt the aesthetics of the device. ASUS claims that the sapphire lens on the ZenFone 3 provides protection from any type of scratch, which is a constant worry with a protruding camera bump, and it certainly seems to live up to Asus’ billing.

This time around, ASUS has shunned the utilitarian design of the older ZenFone smartphones and has upped the ante for the ZenFone 3. The glass and metal design looks striking and exudes style in all four color variants – Shimmer Gold, Moonlight White, Aqua Blue, and Sapphire Black. It impresses at first glance, and helps the Zenfone 3 stand out in what is becoming an ever-increasingly homogenous industry.

Display

asus-zenfone-3-review-17

The 5.2-inch Full-HD IPS display on the ZenFone 3 is incredibly sharp and offers crisp visuals and good clarity. It’s vibrant, offers rich colors, and it is a treat to watch high-res videos or play games on it. The touch response too is smooth and fluid. The ZenFone 3 features high brightness level of 600nits and therefore sunlight legibility is pretty good. The viewing angles are great too, and the display supports touch recognition through gloves.

You can control the display settings with the built-in Splendid app that allows you to choose between Balance, Bluelight Filter, Vivid, and Customized color modes. The Bluelight Filter mode cuts out the blue light so that the display is easier on the eyes.

Performance

asus-zenfone-3-review-15

The ASUS ZenFone 3 is powered by Snapdragon 625, a mid-level processor, and packs in 3GB of RAM in this variant. On the specifications sheet, that makes for a modest entry. Several smartphones in this segment offer flagship processors from Qualcomm bundled with up to 6GB of RAM. Also, some of the budget smartphones pack in similar internals for half the price.

Yet, how a smartphone performs is not always reflective of the internal specs. The ZenFone 3 performs like a breeze with no apparent lags in multitasking or navigating across the UI. Even while playing graphic-intensive games, there was hardly a performance issue or overheating and no dropped frames. Overall, the ZenFone 3 is zippy and smooth when used as a daily driver, and can give other devices with similar specs a run for their money.

The fingerprint sensor on the ZenFone 3 has a quick response and is quite good. In most cases, it recognizes fingerprints even with wet fingers on the first try. You can also tap and hold the fingerprint sensor to answer a call or double tap it to launch the camera (and take a photo with just a tap when the camera app is on).

Interestingly, one of the highlights of the Snapdragon 625 chipset is less power consumption compared to previous generation chipsets. The 2650mAh battery on the ZenFone 3 (3000mAh on the other variant) might just look average on paper, but combined with the SoC and software optimizations, the smartphone offers impressive battery life easily lasting me through the day on heavy usage.

Hardware

asus-zenfone-3-review-3

The ASUS ZenFone 3 packs a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor clocked at 2GHz with an integrated Adreno 506 GPU. Since it performs quite well, one would be less inclined to go for the higher spec’d variant (4GB RAM versus 3GB RAM) unless there is a preference for larger display. There’s 32GB of internal storage, with about 23.5GB was available out of the box, and there’s also support for microSD cards of up to 2TB for expansion. ASUS is also offering 100GB of free cloud storage space for two years, in collaboration with Google.

The ZenFone 3 sports a hybrid SIM slot that can take in a Nano SIM along with a Micro SIM or a microSD card. While both SIMs support 3G/4G, only one can connect to 3G/4G networks at a time. If you prefer lot of storage and use two SIMs every day or while travelling, you might want to go for the 64GB variant. For most people though, 32GB is good enough, and of course, if you use only one SIM, you can always expand storage via microSD card.

Camera

asus-zenfone-3-review-11

ASUS pitches the camera on the ZenFone 3 as one of the highlights of the smartphone. While the optics are solid on paper, the real magic – or the lack of it – obviously lies in the software processing the data from the camera sensor. That’s the company’s PixelMaster 3.0 at play.

asus-zenfone-3-sample-shot-12
asus-zenfone-3-sample-shot-7

The 16-megapixel rear camera has an f/2.0 aperture and packs in 6P Largan lens, and focuses on the subject really quick. According to ASUS, the TriTech auto-focus technology on the ZenFone 3 combines laser, phase detection, and continuous autofocus allowing the device to focus in just 0.03 seconds in all conditions. There’s also Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) as well as Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) which are quite handy while shooting videos and still shots in difficult light conditions.

asus-zenfone-3-sample-shot-11
asus-zenfone-3-sample-shot-1

Outdoors, the rear camera on the ZenFone 3 of course performs great. Consistently. The colors are vibrant, and the photos include a great amount of detail and accuracy. The color reproduction too is excellent whether it’s the landscapes or the close-up shots. However, in low-light conditions while most of the shots are quite decent, often some noise would creep in and there would be a loss of detail. Although, I often managed to get blur-free shots in poor light conditions, validating the ZenFone 3’s camera creds.

In fact, it’s the 8-megapixel front camera on the ZenFone 3 that surprised me with the sharp and detailed selfies that I took, even in low light conditions or when indoors.

The camera app on the ZenFone 3 packs in a lot of options and camera modes to choose from. There’s also a manual mode for tinkering with the DSLR-like camera settings as well as a low light mode that enhances light sensitivity for clearer and brighter low-light shots. With the Super Resolution mode, you can take composite images at up to 4X resolution, and then wonder why would you need it. Not from a review perspective, but I ended up using the GIF animation mode a lot for random fun GIFs converted from a series of captured images. Maybe that’s why there was a delay in publishing the review!

For better or worse, the camera on the ZenFone 3 builds on the precedent set by the earlier generations of ZenFone. It’s not perfect, and serious photographers would find few limitations here and there, but for most regular as well as power users, it works great.

Software

asus-zenfone-3-review-16

The ASUS ZenFone 3 runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box with the new version of the company’s proprietary ZenUI 3.0 on top of it.

Right up, that’s a good thing. The older versions of ZenUI were plagued with bloatware and gimmicky UI elements that marred the overall user experience. The latest version is a complete makeover, and offers a clean UI with subtle animations. There are several nifty utilities, but there’s still a plethora of ASUS-branded apps that I’ve hardly seen anyone using really. Unfortunately, only a few of these can be uninstalled and while you can disable most others, they still occupy storage space on your phone.

asus-zenui-apps

ZenUI 3.0 features an app drawer, and there’s a built-in search functionality. You can swipe down the screen and search the Web or your apps and contacts, and view your frequently used apps. There’s an all-new Theme Store from which users can download free as well as paid themes, wallpapers, icons, and ringtones to customize their smartphone.

One of the neat features of the ZenUI is ZenMotion which allows configuring a variety of touch and motion gestures like double tap to wake or flipping the phone when you get an incoming call to enable silent mode. It also allows you to enable the one-handed mode that shrinks the display to one corner of the screen for easy, one-handed usage when you’re on the move.

Of course, the most useful app from the entire ZenUI suite is the Mobile Manager. With slick animations and intuitive UI, the app offers quick ways to free RAM and storage space, and manage apps as well as app permissions. It’s a sort of one-stop destination for managing your phone’s performance.

asus-zenfone-3-apps

For gamers, ZenUI offers Game Genie which pops up automatically when you start playing a game and allows you to record your gameplay and broadcast it live on YouTube or Twitch, search for tips, and boost gaming performance. It’s a neat, little addition that gamers would appreciate.

The latest version of ZenUI on the ZenFone 3 is fluid and aims to offer stock Android-like experience while adding additional functionalities. And, it succeeds in doing that. But the excess of bloatware is disappointing, and shows that the company has learnt nothing from similar criticism in the past.

Pricing and final thoughts

asus-zenfone-3-review-18

At $320 (₹21,999) in India, the ASUS ZenFone 3 is not cheap. The higher spec’d variant is in fact priced at roughly $409 (₹27,999) which is very similar to the OnePlus 3. Yet, there are a lot of things going for the ZenFone 3. One, ASUS serves broader audience by virtue of being available both online and offline and secondly, it looks so damn good.

It’s a reliable daily driver and doesn’t break a sweat while pushing for performance or gaming. The camera is very good, and the battery life is exemplary.

It looks modest on the specifications sheet, but it’s a mistake to judge the ZenFone 3 purely on its specs list

. Once you take it for a spin, it impresses, even if we wish the price could’ve been a little lower. In fact, the lower spec’d variant, because it performs very well, offers more value for money and is the recommended buy, as long as you’re happy with the smaller display.

Asus isn’t officially selling the regular Zenfone 3 in the US but it is already available via a marketplace seller on Amazon if you’d rather have the regular Zenfone 3 over the more illustrious (and higher priced) Zenfone 3 Deluxe. What do you think of the Asus Zenfone 3 and do you plan to buy one? Let us know your views in the comments below!

HTC Vive vs Oculus Rift: Which should you buy?


ovulus-vive.jpg?itok=scG-8fd9

Should I buy the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive?

Buying a desktop-class VR headset right now is a big, expensive choice. You have to have a PC capable of driving the experience before you even plug a headset in, but when you finally reach that point you’ll find yourself faced with a pair of excellent choices. You can buy an Oculus Rift, the VR headset that rekindled a global interest in consuming 360-degree content with its record-shattering Kickstarter campaign. Or you can go with the HTC Vive, a VR headset with new tech developed by Valve — the champion of PC gaming as we know it today.
