Starting off in January 2008, my humble technology blog has evolved over the decade, growing and expanding into today’s TGH Technology and Business portal/blog covering both consumer and enterprise technology topics, business, fin-tech and digital marketing segments. One of my key interests was doing technology gadget reviews (I am a tech geek)! While my technology reviews had slowed down in past few years due to increased writing and content creation workload, I am also missing the fun and joy of doing gadget reviews, therefore I slowly made a return to reviewing technology gadgets in the past few quarters. Now, let me share more in my Technology Gadgets Review and Changes Update – November 2024.
Completed/Preparing Technology Gadgets Review
- Jabra Elite 8 Active (Completed + published article)
- Wotancraft Pilot Brompton 10L
- Leofoto LS284CPRO + Leofoto PS-2 + Leofoto AM-2L
- Dell Precision 5690
- MyFirst Frame
The Wotancraft Pilot Brompton 10L was added in February 2024 (I bought it used), followed by Jabra Elite 8 Active review in April 2024. While in June 2024, the following setup Leofoto tripod LS284CPRO + Leofoto PS-2 + Leofoto AM-2L were added (technically used – like brand new), replacing my Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod.
I also tested an enterprise level AI-powered laptop, the Dell Precision 5690. Moving forward, the new laptops would be more AI-powered with its own NPU chip, in both enterprise and consumer markets.
The MyFirst Frame would be ideal for extended families with children, letting them stay connected and informed of their life and activities.

For the above gadgets, I had a great and fun time creating content, photos and short videos with those gadgets. You can view some of the videos and photos on my Instagram and TikTok!
As a photographer (from both commercial and personal perspectives), a content creator (doing vlogs and short videos as well), and my amount of information/data over the years, I do have a keen interest in media storage and back up that can takes care of my above requirements.
I would dive more in-depth into this segment soon, starting off with the underrated microSD card and NVMe storage.
Goodbye Early 2013 MBP 15, Hello 2023 MBA 15 M2!
The time has come for me to retire my early 2013 Apple MacBook Pro (MBP) 15, it has served me very well over the decade. However, the wear and tear on the internal and external hardware can be felt, heard and seen. Moreover, I also can’t update my MacOS X, resulting in some software that I am running are also unable to update to the latest versions.
That’s a good old 10 years from a powerful workhorse laptop. As much as I try not to (and I also don’t need to) chase the latest technology gadgets, there will come a time when it’s inevitable that I have to upgrade my computer, technology and software.
At this point of writing, Apple has announced its M4 chips, thus making the Apple M2 chip laptops great choices and price point, thus an excellent opportunity to enter the market and finally own an Apple Silicon M chip laptop. Doing a bit of research and comparison analysis, along with some luck and divine intervention, that was a 2023 MacBook Air (MBA) 15 M2 available (technically used – like brand new) that I took over most recently.
Goodbye Early 2013 MBP 15, Hello 2023 MBA 15 M2!
