Must have
The best all-round enthusiast keyboard under €200. Buy it, then lose a weekend to switch testing.
03Fresh off the bench
Four efficient cores, dual 2.5 GbE and room for two NVMe drives make this palm-sized box an excellent Proxmox or Home Assistant host.
A credit-card-sized single-board computer with 4 GB RAM, USB-C power and a GPIO header that keeps your old HATs working.
Fourteen ports, 96 W charging and dual 4K output. The H2 looks perfect on paper; a few weeks of use tell a more complicated story.
A thumb-sized USB-C DAC and headphone amp that drives most headphones with a clean, neutral sound.
