Rod reviews the Geekom AS6 Mini PC, co-engineered with ASUS, and shows why this tiny machine punches way above its size. With 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1 TB SSD out of the box, it avoids the usual mini-PC bottlenecks. Rod highlights the generous port selection — HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort, Ethernet — and the ability to drive up to five displays, even reaching 8K. He also loves how easy it is to upgrade internally, making it a solid option for creators who need power, flexibility, and a clean, minimalist setup. View more…

Rod shares his best tricks to level up mobile filmmaking using the Samsung S23 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro. He shows how to create clones with CapCut’s freeze feature, pull off “returning object” effects by simply reversing clips, and get smooth slow motion by shooting 4K at 60 fps. Rod also explains how manual exposure on the iPhone can make a huge difference. With Sandmarc’s Anamorphic Lens Edition giving shots that cinematic flare, he goes deeper into pro accessories — cages, lights, mics, and when a gimbal is still a must for fast moves or hyperlapses. He wraps up with creative editing ideas, like infinite loops, fake drone shots with a tripod, and using water reflections for unique angles. View more…

Rod unboxes the 10th-gen iPad and shares a detailed look at what’s new — and what’s confusing. He likes the fresh design, the braided USB-C cable, and the new front camera placement that finally makes video calls with Center Stage feel natural. But the accessory situation? A mess. The Apple Pencil needs an extra adapter, and older iPad cases don’t fit because of the new magnetic layout. Rod also talks about the non-laminated display, the solid A14 performance in games, and why Stage Manager is still missing. With the EasyAcc case keeping things protected, he concludes that once you upgrade storage, the price gets so close to the Air that many users may want to jump straight to the more powerful model.

After a full year with the iPad Pro 11, Rod shares an honest look at who should actually buy it. The device is incredibly powerful, with a gorgeous 120 Hz ProMotion display, great speakers, Face ID, and full support for the Apple Pencil 2 — making it a dream for drawing and note-taking. But with the iPad Air offering similar performance for less money, Rod questions whether the upgrade is always worth it. He also dives into Stage Manager and the disappointment around external monitor support. Throughout the review, he uses the Harber London Leather Desk Mat, adding a premium feel to his entire setup.

Rod compares the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro with the newer iPhone 14 Pro to see if the upgrade really makes sense. He focuses on the big jumps: the 48-megapixel camera with far better night performance, the brighter OLED display that finally replaces the old LCD panel, and the convenience of MagSafe accessories — especially the MOFT Case, Stand & Wallet Snap Set that adds a clean, practical touch to everyday use. While Apple still struggles with lens flares, the leap in camera quality and screen brightness makes the upgrade worth it, and Rod still appreciates how balanced the iPhone 11 lineup was. View more…
