Eureka Aion ergonomic office chair review
3:45 pm | January 15, 2025

Author: admin | Category: Computers Gadgets Pro | Comments: Off

The Eureka Aion Ergonomic Office Chair is produced by the company that released the futuristic-looking Eureka Serene and the Bond-Villan-esque Eureka Arc Standing Desk. The Aion looks relatively tame compared to those. However, the Aion has a few tricks up its metaphorical sleeve.

While the aforementioned pieces of furniture were more for the stereotypical executive professional, the Aion is a chair that could work for an executive office vibe, or it could fit in a conference room, home office, front desk, or closet desk hidden away.

Like so many of the best office chairs I've tested, the Aion is designed to cater to just about everyone, whether they are professionals, students, admin, or the CEO of a hedge fund. The focus here is not on design but on function and comfort with its high-back design, integrated headrest, breathable mesh, multiple adjustment features, and ergonomic support.

Eureka Aion Ergonomic Office Chair: Price and Availability

The Eureka Aion is available directly from Eureka Ergonomic's official website and other select retailers, though I'd suggest purchasing directly from Eureka. This chair can sometimes be under $400, though it's generally around $500. Eureka does offer regular deals and pay plans through Shop Pay if needed.

Eureka Aion Ergonomic Office Chair: Unboxing and First Impressions

Unboxing the Eureka Aion was pretty straightforward, though there were some steps that I wish I had a third hand for. The pieces themselves were well-packaged and arrived un-damaged -- which is always a great start -- and from the unboxing experience alone, I knew this would be a hefty chair.

Within the packaging comes the assembly kit of tools, spare parts, instructions, bolts, and such needed for the proper assembly. If you want to speed up assembly, I suggest using something like the Hoto Electric Screwdriver or even a simple drill (one that can adjust and not be on "drill" mode) with a bit set to help assemble quickly without damage. If not, the appropriate tools are included.

Assembling the seat took me about 20 minutes. Once I finished attaching the headrest as the final step, I could appreciate its sleek design and sturdy construction. It comfortably accommodates larger individuals while also being suitable for smaller people.

Eureka Aion Ergonomic Office Chair: Design and Build Quality

Specs

Material: Mesh backrest, padded seat
Adjustability: High backrest, tilt, lumbar support, and armrest
Weight capacity: Up to 300 lbs
Weight: 55 lbs
Features: Breathable design, ergonomic focus
Dimensions: 29.33”D x 28.74”W x 44.09” - 51.97”H
Recommended Height: 5'1" - 6'1"

The Eureka Aion has a minimalist aesthetic that fits well in professional and home-office environments alike. However, the adjustability within this chair is nothing short of maximalist. The high-back design offers complete spine support, while the mesh material promotes airflow to help prevent sweat during work sessions. The armrests are adjustable in three dimensions and can be raised for added comfort in various working positions. Additionally, the headrest is movable in two directions, allowing for further customization. The chair can recline up to 115 degrees, and the lumbar support can be adjusted to fit the natural curve of your back perfectly.

The Aion is constructed with durable components, ensuring long-term use without compromising comfort -- which is appreciated once you remember that this chair costs around $500.

Eureka Aion Ergonomic Office Chair: In use

This chair has been in my team's rotation of ergonomic offerings for a month now. So far, it has held up wonderfully, even for extended working sessions. It has been adjusted for multiple people, ranging in build, height, weight, and use. Some have found this chair to be great for long sessions at a desk working on their computer, while others have found it uniquely excellent for using a laptop on their lap. Yet still, some have noticed that if they prop the armrests up, it's incredibly comfortable for some phone time, reading a book, holding a controller, or taking notes on a tablet. Regardless of the use case, we all have agreed that this chair is great for lumbar support and adjustability.

I appreciate that Eureka chose highly breathable mesh. I have been a massive fan of this mesh backing and often opt for chairs with it since I usually run relatively warm. This mesh allows airflow to my back and lower half, ensuring I don't sweat (too much) during those high-intensity meetings, stressful deadlines, or intense gaming sessions.

Another element worth mentioning is that the tilt and height-adjustment mechanisms work smoothly, and the leavers make sense. Some chairs try to combine all of these into the smallest number of levers, which results in me spending more time adjusting my chair than actually enjoying my chair (dramatic, but you get the point). With the Eureka Aion, I could quickly gander at the levers, learn what adjustments each made, and then dial in from there.

Eureka Aion Ergonomic Office Chair: Final verdict

The Eureka Aion Ergonomic Office Chair is an excellent choice for users looking for a chameleon ergonomic solution that fits almost any working space. Eureka's focus on adjustability, durability, and back support with the Aion ergonomic chair makes it a standout product, though its price may limit its appeal to budget-conscious buyers. This chair delivers exceptional value and adjustability for those willing to invest in comfort and health.

Dell Optiplex Micro Plus 7020 mini PC review
1:06 pm |

Author: admin | Category: Computers Gadgets Pro | Tags: | Comments: Off

The Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020 is designed for businesses that require a compact yet efficient workstation. Featuring 13th Gen Intel processors and DDR5 memory, it caters to multitasking professionals.

As with almost all the best mini PC devices we've reviewed, the micro form factor ensures seamless integration into tight workspaces without compromising performance or reliability. The Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus is impressive because you can specify it to fit your business needs. It can have an i5 or an i7 processor, it can have 16GB or 32GB DDR5 RAM, it can have 256GB or 512GB NVMe SSD Storage, you can opt for a wireless card adding Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth, or you can keep it wired, you can opt for a vPro Enterprise system management or not, and you can choose to include peripherals or not. That's a lot of options for a desktop I can hold in one hand.

I previously mentioned the business because this desktop is designed in every way for a "business" use case. This is not the computer you want for anything graphics-based. Nor is it anything you want for crazy heavy loads or processing. What this is great for, though, are workstations, admins, doctors' offices, front desks, simple desktop solutions that need to be clean, a solution mounted under a desk or behind a monitor, or something that needs to be portable on a cart. That's the kind of professional business this computer excels at, but it was designed from the internals to the case. Something that can be tucked away but relied on to perform crucial tasks for a business to operate.

Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020: Price and Availability

The Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020 starts in the base configuration without accessories at around $1,000. If you fully spec this model out, you can reach $1,530.01, according to Dell.com, without peripherals. Due to the customizability of this unit, I suggest ordering your OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020 from Dell. However, B&H Photo, as well as several other retailers, have pre-configured units available as well.

Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020: Unboxing and First Impressions

Though the desktop is tiny, my OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020 came in a box that could fit a standard keyboard had I ordered it with my computer. Within that box was some packing that kept the laptop secure and safe, along with the power supply and some essential documentation.

Right away, it's clear that this is a simple, professional, very Dell-looking desktop, and it looks good. It's simple, it's minimal, it's easy to use, and it has excellent port layout. It's compact, lightweight, sturdy, and ready to go to work right out of the gate.

Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020: Design and Build Quality

Specs

Processor Options: Intel Core i5 to i7 (13th Gen).
Memory: Up to 32GB DDR5, 5600 MT/s .
Storage: M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs up to 512GB.
Ports: 4x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x RJ45, 1x Headphone, 1x Mic, 3x DisplayPort, 1x Barrel Power,
Dimensions: 7.17 x 1.42 x 7.01 inches

The Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020 is an ultra-compact, ultra-lightweight (under 2.5 lbs), easy-to-mount or hide desktop solution for professional use cases. This desktop can fit behind most monitors, under a desk, behind a plant, on a bookshelf, in a drawer, on a shelf, in a cabinet, or just about anywhere (even on a VESA mount). And, with the ability to output to three displays, this can run a pretty impressive setup for the size and price.

The build quality is robust and lightweight, making it something I'd be willing to have out where it could get bumped, knocked into, or used by people who are not as careful with technology as I am.

Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020: In use

The OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020 handles multitasking and business applications like a dream. It's fantastic at running multiple spreadsheets and multiple windows (or even monitors) of browser tabs; it can have charts pulled up, graphs, email, imaging, and so on. It's a great little machine for this kind of work, and even more so paired with being able to tuck that case just about anywhere.

This computer is not one you'll want to run high-intensity graphics on, no video editing, no pushing an entire LED wall worth of display, nor would I use this as a server for a security room to view a bunch of footage. I would have this be used for a front desk, an admin, a meeting room, a check-in, or the like. It's great for those classic office needs with limited demand for high-processing power.

One major downfall in my book is the lack of HDMI and too few USB-C ports. Thankfully, there is one USB-C port, but with how commonplace that port is, I'm shocked not to see more. Then again, the average business workspace may not be up-to-date with technologies, but that will surely be a miss if they are. Secondly, if you want to push to a monitor via HMDI, you'll need an adapter from DisplayPort to HDMI since this computer has no native HDMI ports. This isn't the end of the world, but it's good to know if you are replacing a computer and keeping peripherals or buying a new one.

Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020: Final verdict

The Dell OptiPlex Micro Plus 7020 excels in providing business-grade performance in a compact design. Its robust build, security features, and extensive connectivity options make it a great choice for professional use. However, the lack of HDMI and minimal USB-C may limit some users.

Author: admin | Category: Mobile phones news | Tags: | Comments: Off

Realme is working on a new phone that looks like a carbon copy of the recently released 14x, only this one is 4G-only. Known so far only by its model number, RMX5020, the device has been certified for sale by the FCC, a move which signifies a global launch. The RMX5020 has dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC, nine 4G bands, and a 5,180 mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging.

Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra promo images leak
3:50 am |

Author: admin | Category: Mobile phones news | Comments: Off

Another day, another Galaxy S25 image leak. This time around we have a couple of shots showing the Galaxy S25 or the S25+ (they look exactly the same, the only difference is the size) on one hand, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra on the other. There's an interesting detail in this first image, namely that the outer part of the camera 'rings' matches the color of the phone's back, at least in this rather dark blue hue. As you can see, the frame is flat, the screen is flat, and the bezels are insanely thin (and thinner than last year). Moving on to the Ultra, the color matching of the camera...
