Three of the new models will start shipping next week, the foldable won’t be out until early October. The prices are the same as last year, which is great – even better, Amazon throws in gift cards with pre-orders. The Google Pixel 10 is the first vanilla model to have a telephoto lens. However, it loses the large 1/1.31” sensor in the main and the high-resolution ultra-wide of the Pixel 9. The new model comes with a $100 Amazon Gift Card. You may be tempted to get the old...

Google Drive has been getting increasingly friendlier towards video uploads lately. Recently, Google added automatic captioning, a visual redesign, instant playback for newly-uploaded videos, time-stamped transcripts and even YouTube-like thumbnail previews to its cloud storage platform. The newest addition is Google Vids integration. Users of eligible Workspace domains will soon start seeing a purple Google Vids icon in the top right corner when a video is open in Drive. Clicking it will load said video into Google Vids and allow it to be trimmed, enriched with media content like music,...

I tested this portable power station from Vtoman – and it’s a serious on-the-go powerhouse
4:01 pm |

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

The Vtoman FlashSpeed Pro 3600 is hefty. There is no way around that. This is not a power station that you'll want to be toting around, though it is technically still portable.

See, unlike many of the best portable power station units I've reviewed, the Pro 3600 is more designed for long-term backup or for use with enormous power demands, not just to charge your smartphone (though it could).

So, for that reason, this unit is hefty in both size and specs, yet it is still something that can be used in real-world applications with ease.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: Pricing & Availability

The Vtoman FlashSpeed Pro 3600 starts around $1499 right now, on sale from $2,299. They do offer bundles at the point of purchase that include solar panels that can stretch up to $2,700, too, all with a two-year warranty.

Also worth mentioning is that the unreleased battery expansion is expected sometime in 2025. Outside of that, the other pieces are available.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: Unboxing & first impressions

The FlashSpeed Pro 3600 Portable Power Station is a fluorescent yellow and black power station that made me sigh when I picked it up; it was so heavy. Keep in mind, I pick up and move power stations, chairs, desks, and more. This one shocked me.

Thankfully, this unit has wheels and a handle with two height settings to accommodate those with varying heights and those who can't quite reach the same physical height.

From the first moment I turned this unit on, I loved the screen. The readout is excellent; it's easy to understand, shows all the information I want, and feels premium in quality.

Taking another pass, I noticed the lightbar that can shine white or even red light. I saw a small storage bay in the back of the unit, perhaps for the charging cable, and I noticed that the port layout is super helpful.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: Design & build quality

Specs

Battery Capacity: 3,096 Wh
Continuous Output: 3,600 W AC (6,000 W surge)
Outputs: 4× AC, 2× 100 W USB‑C, 2× DC, 4× USB‑A, 2× Cigarette port
Features: UPS (switch‑over <20 ms), LCD screen, wheels, IP65-rated shell
Dimensions / Weight: 378×418×581 mm / 38 kg
Warranty: 2-year global

The whole unit feels like a hefty suitcase. I wish that suitcases or luggage in general rolled as easily as this machine does. I'd even be happy if shopping carts rolled as smoothly as this setup does. Moving on, the ports are covered with a flap, enhancing their water resistance. And the entire case around the power station feels rugged and ready to take anywhere. The wheels I mentioned briefly above are not easily damaged. They are large with a decent grip, and super easy to maneuver the power station with.

The ports are organized and easily accessible, and clearly labeled. All things that make using a power station super helpful. If you are in an emergency and need power quickly, the last thing you want to have to do is slow down to try to figure out where ports are, which are which, and how to turn your power supply on. It's easy to know what is what, and with the integrated light bar, you can light up your scenario to make getting things plugged in and backed up even easier.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: In use

I've used a lot of power stations, and while I don't usually note or have the recharge time stand out to me, in the VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600's case, it stands out as one of the most significant benefits to this unit. Now, rather than feeling like you need to have this always charged, if you know a storm is coming, you have time to recharge it quickly, whether from zero to full or from partial charge to full charge.

Additionally, you are more likely to use this power station for portable power where there isn't shore power or a grid power system. In that case, you can plan to go, quickly plug this in, get everything else ready and squared away, and only two hours later (zero to full), you can have a fully charged power station prepared to tackle your construction project, off-grid camping, or whatever else you may be powering.

I don't currently have this power station plugged into my house, but I have had it power my garage while working on projects, running saws, air compressors, shop vacs, and battery chargers. I've also had this recharge my EGO Electric mower, my Eufy E18 Robot Mower, my Lectric XPedition2 E-Bike, and more, to see if it can - and it did without any issue.

If you live on some land and are looking for more ways to recharge, rather than using the grid, you could also add a solar panel to recharge using the sun, which also recharges incredibly fast.

The unit also boasts Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), and for good reason. If you have networking gear, computers, or other devices, you don't want to have any downtime in a power outage, the UPS will flip over before your devices even realize that the grid lost power.

Overall, this is a great power station. It is pretty heavy, so the wheels are essential for moving it around. However, I suggest only relocating it when necessary. It's best to place it in a location where you'll use it frequently and leave it there for a while.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600: Final verdict

The FlashSpeed Pro 3600 is a power station for the (semi) portable pros. This is a great hub to place and use as an added power source wherever you may need it, whether that is a job site, an off-grid setup, or a backup unit. It's got incredible speeds, high capacity, a fantastic port layout, a built-in light bar, and wheels to help move it around.

If you're in the market for a power station, especially one with a fast recharge and multiple ports, this power station is a great one to consider. IF you're wanting something ultra portable, or if you don't need 3000Wh capacity, though, this may be too much of a unit for your use case.

Want a cheap Switch 2 case with plenty of space? This affordable option I tested covers all the bases

Nacon Hard Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2: review

The Nacon Hard Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2 is a reasonably priced case for the handheld console. It offers storage not only for the console itself but also most of its accessories, as well as a handful of Switch games cartridges. So how does it feel in use?

Generally, I’ve found it holds up well. The bright Mario red feels suitably attention-grabbing without being gaudy – I wouldn’t be embarrassed pulling it out on my commute, and it doesn’t remotely feel at odds with the premium console inside. I've seen similar materials getting scuffed or dirty after months of being thrust into a backpack, but in all the time I’ve spent carting it round so far it’s maintained that vibrant hue without picking up any marks.

Given the name of the product, I’d kind of assumed it had been designed with the Nintendo Switch 2 in mind. But if you actually try to place the console in the molded inner tray Nacon has supplied, you quickly realize that it’s far too small, because it’s shaped to fit the original Switch. You can remove this and the Switch 2 will sit snugly in the base of the case, but it’s not quite as well fitted around the console’s Joy-Con 2, which is something I would expect from one of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories.

Despite this, the Nacon Hard Carrying Case seems sturdy and well constructed. Even squeezed in a bag with my work laptop and climbing gear, it seems to be able to protect the Switch 2 well and keep its shape, even while it's under pressure. I never really felt I had to worry about the safety of my Switch 2 when it was in the Nacon and that’s the kind of peace of mind you’re looking for when picking up a case.

When it comes to additional storage, the Hard Carrying Case has a decent amount of space. The main compartment is capacious enough that I was able to squeeze in the Joy-Con 2 Grip, the Switch 2’s charger and an HDMI cable. Pretty much the only thing I was unable to fit was the console’s dock but if you’re desperate to take this on the go with you, something like the Nacon XL Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2 should offer sufficient space for this.

I did occasionally find myself wishing that some of this storage could be better laid out however. I was never that clear what the central pocket was intended for, given it was too small for most accessories but felt an odd fit for loose cabling. Equally, the Nacon’s storage for Switch 2 cartridges is pretty limited – you can fit a maximum of four cards in its little bandolier, which feels like it will fill up fast.

All told though, the Nacon Hard Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2 feels like a reliable way to keep your Switch 2 safe and offers a pretty attractive package while it does so. Particularly when you consider its price: at $14.90 / £12.90 (around AU$25), this case very much sits at the more affordable end of the market. So if you’re looking for a cheap way to keep your Switch 2 safe and you’re not too fussy about odd details, this is a decent choice.

Should I buy the Nacon Hard Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2?

Design

Decent understated looks, hardy construction; while it comfortably fits the Switch 2, the removable molded tray is only compatible with the original Switch.

4 / 5

Storage

Very few game cartridge slots, no space for Switch 2 Dock, not clear what every pocket is for.

3.5 / 5

Value

Only a few cases come cheaper than this and given what you’re paying for it, it does pretty much everything you could ask of it.

5 / 5

Buy it if…

You need a hard case for not much cash
At $14.90 / £12.90 (around AU$25), this is very much at the cheaper end of the market. If you only care about protecting your Switch 2 without all the extras, it’s a great choice.

You want an attractive accessory
While its style is minimalist, I do think the red and black colorway looks sharp, without garishly advertising what it is. If understated looks are your bag, it should suit you to a T.

Don’t buy it if…

You have a huge physical games collection
As it only offers four slots for Switch cartridges, you’re heavily limited as to how much of your collection you can take on the road. So if you mostly own physical games, you might want to look elsewhere.

You want to take absolutely everything with you
While the Hard Carrying Case can fit a fair number of accessories inside, you’re not going to be able to bring your dock with you, meaning it’s less handy for bringing to a friend’s house or visiting a holiday cottage.
