    I love this tiny Roberts DAB radio we bought in the UK last week and for such a tiny radio, the sound is incredible. It takes USB-C charging, the battery lasts for up to 20 hours, is an alarm clock, has Bluetooth and RDS.

    DAB radio doesn't exist here which makes no difference anyway.

    My old hillwalking mate always insisted Roberts radios were the best. :thumbup:

    As for gadgets I don't think I've bought any since living here. Lack of choice and too expensive.

    I've got four Roberts radios now and the oldest is from 1984.

    Sounds like a worthwhile upgrade. Always interesting to open the hardware to make an improvement.

    I do not follow hardware closely, especially what is best for gaming. Though at the end you mention that if your motherboard ever dies the next choice will only be Intel or AM5. You are talking about future CPU choices, right? If so, Microsoft has opened the door to new ARM technology which for now is the Qualcomm's Snapdragon CPUs. Will people use those now or in future for gaming?

    Secondly, you do not enable TPM because of performance concerns? I have done that on new hardware specifically to also use encrypted storage (bitlocker on windows). Just in case a machine ever gets stolen.

    Since my husband is traveling extensively, and he uses his phone for everything, from transportation, to hotels and directions, after he complained about running low on battery at dinner time, I bought him a wireless magnetic charger. He has been enthusiastic about it and it cost just 26 Euros.

    We had a wired one, which - of course - he left home.

    I’ve wondered about these, serafina , and am pleased to hear a good reaction. Did he say how often he has to charge it?

Thank you for the support!
