Acer Predator Triton 300 SE review: more prey than Predator

Acer’s Predator Triton 300 SE is chasing after the hype that Asus built with last year’s excellent Zephyrus G14. It’s similar in a few key ways: it’s a sophisticated-looking gaming laptop bordering on ultrabook territory in terms of its sleek and relatively thin design. It has a 14-inch 1080p display with a fast refresh rate and respectable graphics capabilities to top it off. Even its price hits a similar spot at $1,399.

Asus’ latest G14 hasn’t made its way to us for review yet, so we don’t know exactly how it’ll compare to this one in all of the ways that matter. But in the meantime, Acer’s new model already has some clear advantages, like a built-in webcam and the Thunderbolt 4 port. It also achieves commendable gaming performance with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, but don’t let the similarities (or even the few perks) trick you. Calling the new Triton 300 SE a Predator is a little bit of a misnomer.

How we rate and review products

Last year’s G14 defied my colleague Monica Chin’s expectations for what a gaming laptop could achieve when it comes to battery life. Comparatively, Acer’s new laptop isn’t nearly as long-lasting, but it’s not terrible. The Triton 300 SE has a 60Wh four-cell battery that lasts around six hours on average with relatively light usage. More on this later, but safe to say it’s considerably less than the 10-hour battery life Acer claims. You can feel confident taking the Triton 300 SE out to a cafe to do some work for a few hours. But if you intend to be out all day, or use it to do any gaming, you’ll need to bring the charger.

An all-metal chassis meets a rather flimsy plastic lid.

The Triton 300 SE looks very sharp for a gaming laptop.

Whether limited battery life bothers you or not, there are some other issues that I couldn’t help but notice. The interplay of all-plastic on the lid and an all-metal chassis looks fine, but the lid feels flimsy in a way that makes me concerned for its longevity. Applying just a few pounds of pressure to the Predator logo beneath the display makes it bow more than it should. On the unit that Acer sent us, the softer plastic built into the screen’s bezel that cushions the lid when it closes has tiny gaps where it’s not seamlessly adhered. And near the keyboard, the “Turbo” key that amps up the fans has a slight imperfection on it. Lastly, Acer stuffed far too much annoying bloatware into the Triton. About every hour, there’s a pop-up asking me to install or subscribe to something. 

All of this makes for a laptop that doesn’t feel as high-end as its cost indicates it should.

There’s just one configuration of this model right now, containing a four-core Intel Core i7-11375H processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 512GB of NVMe SSD storage, as well as the aforementioned RTX 3060 graphics card. The performance of that GPU depends a lot on how much power each manufacturer wants to allow it to draw. And in this case, it has a 75W maximum power draw and can be boosted up to 1,382MHz. After spending time with several RTX 3070-equipped gaming laptops with more headroom than that, I wasn’t expecting much here. However, I was pleased to see gaming performance in multiple titles getting around 60 frames per second without requiring compromises in the settings. 

This photo highlights the color-shifting hinge as well as the display’s poor viewing angles.

Viewed straight-on, the 14-inch 1080p 144Hz display looks fantastic.

Horizon Zero Dawn, a system-intensive, open-world game, ran at an average of 60fps with ultra settings turned on. Testing Triton 300 SE’s RTX-enabled ray-tracing chops, Shadow of the Tomb Raider on ultra settings with the ray-tracing shadows set to medium got 61 frames per second. Turning the ray-tracing setting up to ultra knocked it down to 48fps. Running that game with ray tracing set to ultra and Nvidia’s deep learning super sampling (DLSS) technique turned on that lowers the render resolution, then uses AI to upscale textures, Acer’s laptop achieved 55 frames per second, splitting the difference. Red Dead Redemption 2, another demanding open-world game, ran at 53 frames per second on ultra settings.

  • 3.75 pounds
  • 180W adapter

It’s not surprising that, with its newer components, Acer’s laptop puts up more favorable numbers than the 2020 G14 that had an RTX 2060. Performance in some of Asus’ 2021 models could fare slightly better in terms of 1080p performance, even though it similarly uses the RTX 3060. That’s because its graphics chip has a slightly higher 80W power ceiling compared to 75W in the Triton 300 SE, not to mention that its AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor has eight cores compared to the four cores with this 11th Gen Intel processor.

The Triton 300 SE’s metal chassis effectively turns into a heatsink to dissipate heat under heavy use, and I noticed it getting warm during gameplay. Unlike most laptops, the heat extended all the way down to the wrist rest, but it wasn’t bothersome. I appreciate the thought that went into the cooling system, which takes air in through the back, then pushes it out the sides of the laptop. Some laptops do the inverse of this, and it can make actually using laptops on your lap a little too toasty, even for non-gaming-related tasks.

There’s a “Turbo” button located above the main batch of keys that overclocks the CPU and GPU, sending the fans loudly into overdrive. I didn’t need to use this mode to achieve the frame rates I cited earlier, and turning it on didn’t seem to make a huge difference during my testing. I also didn’t notice an appreciable difference using it with Adobe Premiere Pro to export a 5-minute, 33-second 4K video. It took 5 minutes and 40 seconds to run through the test. Considering the price and size of this machine, these results rank highly among other laptops we’ve tested recently.

Acer uses a 14-inch 1080p IPS 16:9 aspect ratio panel with a 144Hz refresh rate with up to 300 nits of brightness. During general use and gameplay, I have no complaints about the color accuracy or brightness, though there’s some noticeable ghosting, likely attributed to a higher response time that adds latency. As a result, the mouse pointer doesn’t glide across the screen as smoothly as I’ve seen on other high refresh rate screens, and it extends to gameplay looking a little blurry at times, trivializing the technical achievement of hitting 60 frames per second in games, as well as having a 144Hz refresh rate in the first place. Despite multiple requests for a comment on the response time, Acer didn’t provide the spec. 

I felt right at home on Acer’s keyboard layout.

This fingerprint sensor worked about half the time for me.

Additionally, this screen’s viewing angles are far more limited than I expect from an IPS panel. It’s easily viewable straight-on, but less so from other angles unless the brightness is amped up. Next to the less-than-stellar battery life, this is a big miss for Acer that might be less forgivable for gamers.

I was right at home with Acer’s keyboard, though, both in terms of the layout and feel of the keys here. This keyboard has three-zone backlit keys (you can customize each zone to be a different color in its Predator software), and though many features require holding the “Fn” key to use, the layout is intuitive and doesn’t feel overly cramped.

The glass trackpad supports all of the gestures I expect with Windows Precision drivers, but it isn’t as responsive to my touch as it should be. I think it’s more an issue with the screen’s response time than it is an issue with the trackpad. A fingerprint scanner you can use as an alternative to a PIN is embedded in the top-left corner of the trackpad, but I’ve found that it only works half the time. With that failure rate, I’d rather just have more trackpad real estate.

Agree to Continue: Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

Every smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it — contracts that no one actually reads. It’s impossible for us to read and analyze every single one of these agreements. But we started counting exactly how many times you have to hit “agree” to use devices when we review them since these are agreements most people don’t read and definitely can’t negotiate.

As with other Windows 10 computers, the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE presents you with multiple things to agree to or decline upon setup.

The mandatory policies, for which an agreement is required, are:

  • A request for your region and keyboard layout
  • Windows 10 License Agreement
  • A Microsoft account for sign-in
  • A PIN

In addition, there are several optional things to agree to:

  • Connect to Wi-Fi network
  • Set up fingerprint sensor authentication
  • Device privacy settings: online speech recognition, Find My Device, Inking and Typing, Advertising ID, Location, Diagnostic data, Tailored experiences
  • Send Microsoft your activity history to sync your activity across Windows devices
  • Connect your Android phone for My Phone services
  • Opt to save files via OneDrive
  • Sign up for Microsoft 365
  • Allow Microsoft to access your location, location history, contacts, voice input, speech and handwriting patterns, typing history, search history, calendar details, messages, apps, and Edge browsing history to help Cortana provide personalized experiences and relevant suggestions
  • Provide your name, region, and email address for Acer support and protection

That’s five mandatory agreements and 15 optional ones.

Acer included the essentials in terms of ports. There are two USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports — one on each side, with the right-facing port being able to charge some devices. The star of the show is the Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port, which can be used to transfer data or connect a display. Additionally, I’m happy to see an HDMI 2.1 port, offering up to 4K resolution at 120 frames per second. There’s also a headphone combo jack and a DC-in port for its relatively compact 180W power brick. I wish Acer allowed this laptop to be recharged via USB-C, but it’s all handled through the proprietary DC charging port.

The left side features a fan exhaust, charging port, USB Type-A port, and a Thunderbolt 4 port.

On the right, there’s another fan exhaust, HDMI 2.1 port, USB Type-A, and a headphone jack.

Coming back to battery life, it’s not the biggest flaw that this laptop can only get between five and six hours of battery life per charge while using apps like Microsoft Edge, Spotify, and Slack. The issue here is that Acer claims it will last up to 10 hours, but it doesn’t outwardly mention that you’ll only get that kind of longevity if you’re doing something very simple, like watching HD video with no other apps running. That’s fine if you’re on an airplane for hours on end, but most people rely on a laptop for more than that, so it’s far from the best method for judging battery performance. Based on my testing, the best results you should expect with light usage is about six hours at most. It’s not bad for a gaming laptop, but it keeps the Triton 300 SE from hanging with the battery performance you can get from other ultrabooks or even the Zephyrus G14.

It was daring of Acer to jump into the ring against Asus’ Zephyrus G14, a gaming laptop that ticks a lot of boxes (aside from the missing webcam) for the price. This is a more elegant-looking machine than the G14, and compared directly, it’s hard to not appreciate its Thunderbolt 4 port and a webcam. It’s also a capable performer with games. But Asus proved that a gaming laptop can be more than just a powerful machine. It can also have good battery life for portable use and competent build quality without a bunch of bloatware. The competition is fierce, but the Triton 300 SE is more like prey than a bonafide Predator.

Most of the best gaming laptops have 15 to 17-inch screens, but Acer’s 14-inch Predator Triton 300 SE ($1,949 as tested, starts at $1,599) is a convincing argument that they can be made smaller. The Core i9-12900H processor and 6GB Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card in our review unit let it punch well above its weight — no low-wattage CPU or RTX 3050 here. It’s all wrapped in an attractive aluminum build, and our model goes above and beyond with a gorgeous OLED screen. It’s not cheap, but few gaming laptops blend portability and performance so well.

Acer sells both 14- and 16-inch versions of the Predator Triton 300 SE. The 14-inch version under review here is distinguishable by its dark gray hue as opposed to bright silver color on the larger version. The aluminum chassis – plastic would be out of place on a laptop this expensive – resists flex nicely even though the metal isn’t thick.

At 12.34 x 8.9 x 0.79 inches (313.4 x 226.1 x 19.9 mm, WDH), the Predator Triton 300 SE isn’t as trim as a non-gaming 14-inch ultraportable, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, but mostly sticks to the size of its 14-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio screen. To nitpick, I’d like to see slightly thinner display bezels. The laptop weighs 3.75 pounds (1.7kg).

By comparison, the Asus TUF Gaming F15, which has a 15.6-inch screen, is 13.94 x 9.88 x 0.78 inches (354 x 250 x 19.81 mm) and 4.41 pounds (2 kg). The 16-inch Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is still larger and heavier at 14.17 x 10.4 x 1.05 inches (359.9 x 264.4 x 26.6 mm) and 5.49 pounds (2.49 kg). That’s also true of the Acer Predator Helios 300, which is 14.15 x 10.88 x 0.9 inches (359.4 x 276.4 by 22.9 mm) and 5.73 pounds (2.6 kg).

The Predator sticks to traditional straight lines instead of trying anything exotic. Minus the excessive stickers on the palm rest, it almost looks professional. Acer toned down the Predator branding to tiny badges on the lid and palm rest. There is no external lighting besides the keyboard backlighting.

The amount of physical connectivity satisfies; The left edge has a USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port and Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C). There’s also a Kensington-style lock slot, which is always important on a laptop likely to see public travel or college use.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

Meanwhile, the right edge is where you can find a universal audio jack (headphone/microphone), another Type-A port and an HDMI 2.1 video output. There’s no media card reader here like there is on the 16-inch Predator Triton 300 SE.

The Predator Triton 300 SE has Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 courtesy of a Killer AX1675i networking card. It lacks Ethernet, but Thunderbolt 4 opens tons of possibilities, including docking stations.  But this laptop requires more power than Thunderbolt 4 can provide; its 180-watt power connector connects along the left edge.

Gaming and Graphics on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

Our Acer Predator Triton 300 SE review unit is model TP314-52S-95GB, sporting an Intel Core i9-12900H processor, 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. The latter is rated for a middling 95 watts; Nvidia’s specifications indicate laptop makers can set it for as few as 60 watts. Its 1,282MHz boost clock is the minimum, though.

I had no trouble playing through Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 2,880 x1,800 at the highest detail preset and Nvidia RTX DLSS set to balanced, with a frame rate between 67 and 90 frames per second. Every scene looked brilliant on the OLED screen, especially the night missions.

On Grand Theft Auto V (very high settings), the Predator Triton 300 SE trailed the field, averaging just 74 fps at 1080p. The Asus TUF Gaming F15 managed 90 fps, suggesting how much more performance the GeForce RTX 3060 can muster when tuned to 140 watts. The Acer Predator Helios 300 and the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro are even more powerful, with their 150-watt GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics cards. The Predator Triton 300 SE’s 34 fps average at native screen resolution is also low, albeit still technically playable.

The Shadow of the Tomb Raider (highest settings) benchmark tells a similar story; the Predator Triton 300 SE averaged 68 fps at 1080p but half that (34 fps) at native screen resolution. The 1440p/1600p numbers from the Predator Helios 300 and the Legion 5i Pro are much better, just over the magic 60 fps mark. Enabling RTX DLSS (which we don’t do for testing) would help frame rates a lot as my casual playthrough suggested.

The Predator Triton 300 SE looked slightly better in Far Cry 6 (ultra settings), where it averaged a smooth 63 fps at 1080p and a low but playable 39 fps at native. Naturally, the others continued performing better, but remember that the Predator Triton 300 SE is a small 14-inch laptop in a field of 15- to 16-inchers.

The Borderlands 3 (badass settings) benchmark also shows the Predator Triton 300 SE just keeping its head above water at native screen resolution, averaging 34fps. Its 60fps average at 1080p is better, but the other laptops achieved at least that at 1440p/1600p.

Lastly, the Predator Triton 300 SE made its worst showing in Red Dead Redemption 2 (medium settings), producing 50 fps at 1080p and diving to an unplayable 27 fps at native screen resolution. This game is notoriously difficult to run, however, and it’s important to remember the Predator Triton 300 SE is a small laptop for portable gaming.

The benchmarks take but a few minutes to run, and in real-world gaming, you’d be playing for far longer than that. That’s why we stress-test gaming laptops by looping the Metro Exodus benchmark on RTX settings 15 times, simulating about half an hour of gameplay. 

During the test, the Predator’s Core i9-12900H averaged a healthy 4.14 GHz on the performance cores and 3.52 GHz on the efficiency cores. The CPU package temperature averaged 77.43 degrees Celsius. The GeForce RTX 3060’s core clock averaged 1,167MHz, not too far below its 1,282MHz rated maximum boost clock, and had an average temperature of 65.12 degrees Celsius.

Productivity Performance on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

Our Predator Triton 300 SE has an Intel Core i9-12900H processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and Windows 11 Home.

In Geekbench 5, an overall performance test focused on the CPU, the Predator Triton 300 SE earned a top score of 1,879 in the single-core test, ahead of the TUF Gaming F15’s 1,781 and the Legion 5i Pro’s last-place showing of 1,595. Both those laptops use a Core i7-12700H processor which has the same core count and configuration as the Core i9-12900H, but slightly lower clocks. The Predator Triton 300 SE also did well in multi-core, scoring 14,064 and outpacing the next-fastest Legion 5i Pro (13,008) and the underperforming Predator Helios 300 (10,164), which also uses a Core i7-12700H.

In a reversal, the Predator Triton 300 SE’s time of 5 minutes and 3 seconds landed it last place in our Handbrake video transcoding test. The TUF Gaming F15 was the second slowest, at 4 minutes and 49 seconds, and the Legion 5i Pro the fastest at 4 minutes and 29 seconds.

The Predator Triton 300 SE redeemed itself in our final test, a 25GB file copy, where it averaged 1,536 MBps against the next-best Legion 5i Pro’s 925.46 MBps. The TUF Gaming F15 came in last, at 607.64 MBps.

Display on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

The OLED screen on the Predator Triton 300 SE under review is a real stunner. If you’ve marvelled at high-end OLED TVs in an electronics store, this will give you the same feeling on a smaller scale. Our tools revealed it covers an excellent 193% of the sRGB gamut and 136.4% of DCI-P3.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

The display can seem brighter than our 280-nit measurement suggests because of OLED’s infinite contrast ratio. During a night scene in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I actually squinted when a sudden explosion had me running for cover.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

The screen’s 2880 x 1800 screen resolution is called WQXGA+ or, sometimes, 3K. Its 90 Hz refresh rate isn’t high for a gaming laptop (we routinely see 165 Hz or better) but is still higher than the standard 60 Hz. A higher refresh rate isn’t needed, in any case; our gaming benchmarks showed the GeForce RTX 3060 is at the limit of its capabilities at this resolution.

The only real problem with this screen is the excess glare from its mirror-sheen surface. I found myself constantly adjusting the display angle in well-lit rooms and especially outdoors to avoid reflections. The surface also tends to attract excess dust.

Keyboard and Touchpad on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

Typing on the Predator Triton 300 SE is a forgettable experience. The keyboard is perfectly functional, with mostly full-size keys (including the arrow cluster, though it isn’t separated out), but minimal key travel means minimal feedback. That said, I sailed through the MonkeyType typing test at 102 words per minute with 99% accuracy and got a similar 102 wpm in 10FastFingers.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

The keyboard has a shortcut column down its right side. The top key is the power button, followed by keys to launch the PredatorSense app, mute the microphone, and toggle volume up and down. Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down are only available as Fn-key combos.

The keyboard backlight is split into three vertical zones, not per-key as on higher-end gaming laptops. Each zone can be any color (RGB) and can be individually turned off. There are three brightness levels. Lighting patterns like breathing can also be set, though they apply to the entire keyboard and not by zone. The Acer PredatorSense app (more on it later) allows all this configuration but you can still toggle the brightness or turn the lighting off using Fn + F4.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

The Predator’s touchpad is slightly small for its 14-inch screen but it’s usable; my fingers easily glided across its surface. It has no dedicated mouse buttons; simply press or tap the surface to click. The little square at top left is the fingerprint reader, which looks like it could get in the way but didn’t in my experience, as they are in an area my fingers rarely went. The fingerprint reader is a notable inclusion; gaming laptops often leave it out.

Audio on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

Laptops typically have unremarkable speakers, and the Predator Triton 300 SE follows that rule. Its twin speakers face downward from behind the vertical grilles along the bottom corners.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

The sound is just loud enough to entertain one person in a quiet room. Drum hits in Phil Collins’ Don’t Lose My Number sounded sharp but had no bass to back them up. Tuning audio settings in the DTS:X app helps; there are presets for gaming, music, movies and an automatic mode, and it also has a graphic equalizer. 

The speakers are better suited to games. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was surprisingly immersive with DTS:X set to gaming, though none of the explosions I set off registered on the bass scale. (Gamers looking for the best audio experience should use one of the best gaming headsets.)

Upgradeability of the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

The only easily serviceable components in the Predator Triton 300 SE are its storage drive, wireless card and battery. You’ll need a tiny Torx screwdriver to remove the nine screws securing its bottom access panel. (Philips-head screwdrivers will not work.) At least all the screws are the same, so you don’t have to remember their original locations.

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

Removing the screws is the simple part; prying the panel free is a pain. I started on the left edge with a plastic trim tool and slowly made my way around to the front and right edges. The force I had to use made me wonder if I had forgotten to remove a screw or two. Popping the rear edge free was the hardest part, and it felt like I had snapped something. (Fortunately, nothing broke.) Be sure to use a tool (a credit card isn’t strong enough) and go slow.

The storage drive is an M.2 Type-2280 format using the PCI Express 4.0 bus. The 1TB drive in our unit wasn’t covered by a heatsink. Next to it is the M.2 Type-2230 wireless card, with two antenna leads.

What about the RAM? It’s unfortunately soldered and impossible to upgrade, so buy a laptop with the amount of RAM you’ll want in the long run.

Battery Life on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

Our battery test involves web surfing, video streaming and OpenGL testing at 150 nits of brightness. The Predator Triton 300 SE lasted an adequate if not impressive 5 hours and 43 minutes; traditional 14-inch laptops usually last a lot longer, but they don’t have the Predator’s gaming-grade hardware. Only the Predator Helios 300 had a shorter runtime (5:02). The TUF Gaming F15 took the top spot (7:35).

Heat on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

During our Metro Exodus stress test, the Predator Triton 300 SE had a maximum keyboard temperature of 114. 98 degrees Fahrenheit (46.1 degrees Celsius) between the G and H keys, which is bearable. The other surfaces were cooler, the touchpad registering only 85.8 F (29.9  C).

(Image credit: Tom’s Hardware)

The hotspot on the bottom of the laptop was 127.22  F (52.9 C).

Webcam on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE (TP314-52S-95GB)

Though Acer equipped the Predator Triton 300 SE with a 1080p webcam instead of the usual 720p fare, the picture is still on the blurry side and doesn’t handle highlights or low light well. The cam also lacks a privacy shutter. You’ll need an external webcam to look your best.

Software and Warranty on the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE (TP314-52S-95GB)

There’s a fair amount of preloaded software on the Predator Triton 300 SE. 

The most important app is PredatorSense. It handles keyboard settings as I noted earlier, but more importantly lets you access performance-related settings and monitoring tools.  

Enabling Turbo mode is the most exciting; it allows the graphics card to boost higher and gives the CPU extra cooling by forcing the fans to maximum speed. It’s effective; in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark (highest settings, 2,880×1,800, RTX DLSS set to balanced), I saw 73  fps at default but 81 fps with Turbo enabled, an impressive jump for pressing a button. The fan noise is prohibitive, though, so I can’t see using this feature unless a game really needs a 10-20% performance boost and you had closed or noise-cancelling headphones.

PredatorSense also integrates with games, and can automatically set keyboard backlighting, performance boost, and sound settings depending on the game you’re playing. The only challenging part is navigating to the game’s executable file.

The Acer Care Center app has basic system information and utilities, such as a drive cleaner. It also automatically checks for system driver and firmware updates. It notifies you of critical updates, but you can turn that off.

As for warranty, Acer backs the Predator Triton 300 SE with just one year of coverage; Predator laptops used to have two-year warranties. I prefer one year of coverage for every $1,000 spent, but one year is the industry standard.

Acer Predator Triton 300 SE Configurations

The $1,949 Predator Triton 300 SE we reviewed is model TP314-52S-95GB. It has a 14-inch OLED screen with a 2880 x 1800 resolution, an Intel Core i9-12900H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics, a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, and 32GB of LPDDR5 memory.

The only other model I found for sale in the US was the $1,599 Best Buy model PT314-52S-747P, which steps down to a slightly lower-clocked Core i7-12700H processor, half the storage (512GB) and memory (16GB), and switches out the OLED screen for a 165Hz 1920 x 1200 IPS screen. Its lower screen resolution makes a better option for most gamers, but you’re stuck with 16GB of non-upgradeable RAM.

The 16-inch model, starting at $1,699, can be found from B&H and Acer directly.

The 14-inch Acer Predator Triton 300 SE expertly blends portability and performance. It can play any of today’s games, and its productivity is on par with that of larger machines, thanks to its full-wattage Intel Core H-class processor. It even offers built-in overclocking in the PredatorSense app.

The OLED screen on our review model is gorgeous but not the best choice for gaming. Its 2880 x 1800 resolution proved too high for the GeForce RTX 3060, at least at the visual-quality settings we use for benchmarks. Most gamers will be better off with the Best Buy model PT314-52S-747P, which has a more manageable 1920 x 1200 resolution and a higher, 165 Hz refresh rate. Nonetheless, the OLED screen is unbeatable for cinematic gaming provided you’re willing to accept less than top visual-quality settings playing at native resolution (In some games, not all) or are using the Triton as a creative tool.

For more performance, Lenovo’s Legion 5i Pro offers a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and a 16-inch 2560 x 1600 screen in the $1,999 model we reviewed, though it’s a larger machine, nearly two pounds heavier than the Predator Triton 300 SE. The 15.6-inch Asus TUF Gaming F15 is another larger but better performer, utilizing a higher-wattage GeForce RTX 3060 than the Predator, and it’s less expensive ($1,499 as we reviewed it, albeit with 16GB of RAM.) 

Other highlights for the Predator Triton 300 SE are its snazzy aluminum build, three-zone RGB keyboard backlighting, ample connectivity (including Thunderbolt 4), and good cooling. On the downside, its keyboard doesn’t feel engaging, its 1080p webcam isn’t special, and its memory can’t be upgraded, but those are nitpicks in the larger picture. All told, the 14-inch Predator Triton 300 SE does a commendable job delivering usable gaming performance in a small form factor.

Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s Review: When the Minimalistic Approach

>2023
> Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s

15-03-2023

Some time ago we tested the updated version of the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE PT516-52s, which is the highest performing solution in the Predator Triton series and were very pleased with the results. The only thing that that model could hardly be called accessible to everyone because of its high cost. Today we had the opportunity to test a slightly simplified and more affordable version of the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE line.

We will test Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s (N9.QFPWW.001) . This time we again have a version not for sale. A similar test configuration has Windows 11 Home, a recommended price of $1700 and is called NH.QFPAA.001 , but is not yet available for sale in Ukraine. Therefore, we suggest that you, as an option, pay attention to model NH.QHMAA.001 . Of course, it has a lower resolution and a slightly smaller storage capacity, but an even more attractive price. Let’s see what the test sample has to offer us.

Packing and contents

The laptop comes in a relatively small black cardboard box. There is a handle for transportation. In addition to the line logo, it has a small sticker on one side with all the characteristics of this Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s (N9.QFPWW.001).

The package includes a power supply with a separate cable and documentation.

Appearance, arrangement of components

The case is made of aluminum and has a smooth matte surface. The cover of the display unit, also made of aluminum, and the frame along the contour of the screen – made of plastic, bend only when pressed hard. We have a fairly strong structure.

The laptop boasts a light weight of only 1.7 kg and can be easily opened with one hand. The manufacturer has again implemented a maximum opening angle of 180°.

Let’s see what elements are located around the perimeter of the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s. On the back side around the entire perimeter there are massive cutouts of the cooling system to remove hot air.

The interfaces are also adjacent to the CO outlets for hot air exhaust. Available: power jack, combo audio jack, one HDMI 2.1 and Kensington lock hole, and three universal connectors: one USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 4) and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one of which supports device charging in off state.

Closer to the edges of the bottom cover, there are three legs that ensure good grip of the device with the surface. A significant area is reserved for holes for capturing cold air. By the way, perforation for these purposes is located on the panel above the keyboard. And cutouts on both sides of the device hide stereo speakers behind them.

Power and battery status indicators located above the keyboard unit.

In general, we copy many good technical solutions from the older model of the series and this is very good, especially in view of the large difference in price and a small number of simplifications.

Get to the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s hardware platform with only 9 screws. A shiny sticker says that the device is running Windows 11 Pro.

Now let’s see what’s under the lid.

Here everything turned out to be quite simple and without surprises. We have easy access to the drive and Wi-Fi adapter. Upgrade options, like the older model of the line, are limited to replacing the installed drive and adapter with others, since the motherboard has only one M.2 slot for SSD. There is also no possibility of installing RAM modules and an additional 2.5 “drive. That is, when choosing a modification, you should definitely take into account your “appetites” regarding the wishes regarding the final amount of RAM. By the way, a volume of 16 GB does not threaten to be the “required minimum” for several more years. “, so from a practical point of view, there are no restrictions as such.

Input Devices

The Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s has a full-size (293x99mm) chiclet-style keyboard without an additional number pad. There are the usual number of useful functional actions that are activated in combination with the [Fn] button.

All pushbuttons with caps of flat shape and rather usual sizes: main and hands – 15 x 14 mm, and functional – 10 x 13 mm. As a result, there are no problems with hitting exactly the right keys. They are easy to press, have a short stroke and colorful RGB backlighting, which can be controlled using the Fn and F4 keyboard shortcuts, or using the PredatorSense utility. It is possible to choose the color and brightness level of the backlight, control effects, and also divide the keyboard into three sectors of different colors.

The touchpad is easy to use and has small dimensions – 105×65 mm. Finger on the site slides well. Note the high accuracy of the touch panel.

Fingerprint scanner built into the touchpad works well and responds quickly when touched.

Display, webcam, sound

Screen Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52s is a 14″ IPS panel with a QHD resolution of 2560×1600, a high refresh rate of 165Hz and a very fast response of 3 ms. The display has large viewing angles, good contrast and brightness. The color reproduction is also very good, the colors are bright and saturated, the picture looks very nice. For convenient use, brightness at 50% is sufficient. The thickness of the case frames is as follows: 5 mm – on the side, 9mm – top, 13 mm – bottom. The relief frame around the perimeter of the display should prevent its contact with the keyboard.

The camera and microphone are located above the display. Camera quality 2.1 MP (1080p), good for video calls. The sound quality of the microphone is good.

The speakers are located on the bottom sides. The quality of the speakers is good, but there is a noticeable lack of low frequencies, the detail is good, the sound is pleasant to the ear, at 50-60% it was quite loud. The sound in the headphones is very good, with good detail and no blockages in frequencies, it was loud at 50%, listening to music is pleasant.

Hardware platform and performance

H. The base frequency of six high-performance cores is 2.3 GHz, the dynamic reaches 4.7 GHz. There are also eight power-efficient cores, clocked at 1.7GHz and 3.5GHz, respectively. The TDP of this CPU is 45W, and when running at the highest frequencies, it can consume the entire 115W.

In addition, the processor has an integrated Intel Iris Xe video core. It contains 96 stream processors operating at 1400 MHz. Memory for the needs of the GPU is allocated from the RAM, and if desired, it can be disabled.

Now let’s give some information about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q discrete mobile graphics card. It is based on an 8nm NVIDIA GA106 GPU with support for 3840 CUDA cores. The nominal core frequency is 817 MHz, while the dynamic one reaches 1282 MHz.

Built-in 6 GB GDDR6 memory is assembled from Micron chips and operates at an effective frequency of 11744 MHz. Data exchange between it and the graphics core is carried out through a 192-bit bus capable of passing 281.9 GB of information per second.

The RAM subsystem is represented by 16 GB DDR5-5200 soldered on the motherboard, operating in dual-channel mode. Of course, memory latency is not very good, but in this case, good bandwidth performance plays a big role.

As for data storage, the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE PT314-52 disk subsystem is represented by a high-speed Micron 3400 M.2 2280 SSD with a capacity of 1 TB. It is connected via a high-speed PCIe 4.0×4 bus. There are fairly good read and write speeds in CrystalDiskMark. We got 6502 MB/s read and 4824 MB/s write. These are indicators of rather expensive solutions among solid state drives and this is a good point, indicating that the manufacturer decided not to save money and provided the consumer with one of the best options on the market.

Wireless connectivity is provided by an Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX1675s combo network controller capable of Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax, 2×2) and Bluetooth 5.2.

As mentioned, the model tested comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro. In her environment, we carried out all the necessary tests. During testing, all games were installed on an external SSD Transcend ESD350C with the NTFS file system and a USB Type-A connection.

Testing was carried out in the “Max” cooling system fan rotation mode and the “Turbo” system operation mode.

We haven’t forgotten about tests in games either. Please note that in some projects, in order to fully experience the benefits of using a screen with a frequency of 165 Hz, you will have to lower the graphics settings a little.

Cooling system, noise level and temperature

ultra-thin blades (0.08 mm ) and a 5th generation AeroBladeTM 3D Fan guiding design that generates 10% more airflow than a 4th generation AeroBladeTM 3D Fan and is 55% more efficient than a plastic fan. The radiator has three copper heat pipes, two wide and one narrower. Again, more attention is paid to the cooling of the video core, because it has a higher TDP level than the processor. In addition, the plate contacts the video memory chips through a thermal pad.

This laptop also features TIM (thermal interface material) liquid metal thermal interface technology between the processor and the thermal module for better heat transfer and overall system cooling. This is a special alloy that mixes gallium, indium, tin and other materials that provide higher thermal conductivity than other similar thermoplastic lubricants on the market.

Let’s find out what awaits us in terms of temperature indicators.

At idle, the temperature inside the laptop case reaches a peak of 49 ° C for the processor and 51 ° C for the video card.

The efficiency of the cooling system during loading was tested using the AIDA64 stress test. During its passage, the processor has already warmed up to 99 ° C, because of which the mechanism of skipping cycles (throttling) was activated. At the same time, the processor worked at a still fairly high frequency of 3.4 GHz. In this mode, CPU trolling reached a maximum of 10%.

Now about heating and cooling in games. This time we used Cyberpunk 2077 for testing. This game warmed up the processor to a maximum of 99°C, and the graphics core (hotspot) to 91°C. Regarding the first one, the AIDA64 program again recorded 18% throttling.

At maximum fan speed under load, the noise level of the cooling system is high, uncomfortable. But at the same time, the heating of the body is not high, the temperature reached a maximum of 50 ° C.

PredatorSense proprietary software will help you monitor the speed of the cooling system. Here you can select the cooling scenario or even set the speed manually. You can also select a sound profile and adjust the backlight.

Power supply, battery and battery life

LiteOn PA-1181-16 180W power supply supplied. The input signal parameters are 100 – 240 at a current strength of 2.5 A and a frequency of 50 – 60 Hz. The output is 19.5V at 9.23A.

Acer Predator Triton 300 SE review: photo, price, specifications

The Acer Predator Triton 300 SE is trying to jump on the train that Asus launched last year with its awesome ROG Zephyrus G14. These laptops are similar in some key ways: both are gaming, have an ultra-bookish form factor, and a 14-inch FHD screen with a high refresh rate. But the most important thing that unites them is the price of $1,400.

Asus’ new G14 hasn’t been released yet, so we can’t compare it to this Predator yet. Compared to last year’s model, Acer’s laptop already has some advantages, such as a webcam and Thunderbolt 4 connector. In addition, it provides good gaming performance thanks to the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. But don’t let these advantages fool you, because calling the new Triton 300 SE “Predator” is a bit of a misnomer. In many ways, he is still more prey than predator.

Advantages and disadvantages

  • Elegant design
  • Small notebook with high performance
  • Good cooling system
  • Battery life is not as good as Acer claims
  • There are build quality issues
  • The picture on the screen twitches at times
  • Loaded with junk software

Last year’s G14 was a great gaming laptop, best in terms of performance, price and versatility. It also provided excellent autonomy, which cannot be said about the new laptop from Acer. Its battery life isn’t that great, but it’s also quite bad. The Triton 300 SE is powered by a 60 Wh 4-cell battery that lasts for approximately six hours of moderate use. We’ll talk about this in more detail below, but already now we can say that this is far from the 10 hours that Acer claims. You can still take the Triton 300 SE with you to a cafe for a couple of hours of work over a cup of coffee. But, if you are going to leave the house for the whole day or play on it without plugging into an outlet, you will not succeed.

Even if such a short battery life doesn’t scare you, there are other problems with this laptop that are hard to ignore. The combination of plastic on the lid with an all-metal body looks nice, but because of this, the lid itself feels very fragile to the touch. Makes you wonder how long it will live before it starts to crumble. If you grab the corner with the Predator logo a little harder, it will go deeper than you might expect.

Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

In addition, the plastic with which the screen borders are trimmed for softer closing of the lid has small gaps. Therefore, in some places the cover does not fit snugly. Perhaps this is the problem of one particular laptop that was on the review, but this does not mean that this cannot happen again. The Turbo button, located above the keyboard and allowing you to boost the fans, also has its drawbacks when pressed. And as a cherry on the cake – a bunch of junk software. Every hour, a pop-up window appears on the screen, urging you to install the next “necessary” application or buy some kind of subscription. It’s not great. Set the emphasis yourself.

All of these joints fall short of the $1,400 Acer is asking for the Triton 300 SE. However, for this price, the company gives you quite good performance. The model in this review is equipped with a quad-core Intel Core i7-11375H processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB of internal NVMe SSD storage and an RTX 3060 graphics card. As you probably already know, the power of RTX 30-series cards depends on how much power the laptop manufacturer allows them to consume. In this case, it has a maximum power of 75W and can be clocked at 1382MHz. You can’t expect much from the weakest graphics card in the series, but it was nice to see a solid 60fps in some games without lowering the graphics settings.

Designed by the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

Horizon Zero Dawn, a fairly intense open world game, ran a solid 60 FPS on ultra settings. With ray tracing on the same ultra-graphics, the Triton 300 SE does just as well. Shadow or the Tomb Raider ran at an average of 61 FPS under these conditions. However, if tracing is also turned on ultra, then the frame rate drops to 48 frames. But this can be fixed by enabling DLSS, which will reduce the rendering resolution and, with the help of some AI magic, improve the quality of the textures. Then an Acer laptop with ultra-tracing and the same graphics will give 55 FPS in Tomb Raider. But DLSS is not available in all games. Red Dead Redemption 2, for example, does not have this feature, but it does run at 53 FPS on ultra.

It’s no surprise that the Triton delivers better gaming framerates than last year’s G14 with its RTX 2060. Perhaps this year the same laptop (which will already run at 3060) will deliver better gaming performance at 1080p, than Acer. Some Asus models released this year are already showing better results with the same graphics card. That’s because Asus’ RTX 3060 maxes out at 80W instead of 75W, not to mention that their laptops are equipped with AMD Ryzen 9 processors.5900HS with eight cores instead of four like this 11th Gen Core i7.

The Triton 300 SE has a metal casing that turns into one large heatsink in difficult situations. And it really heats up in games. Most laptops try to keep heat away from the palm rests, but the all-metal chassis heats evenly, so your hands will also be warm. But it does not cause irritation, so you can be calm. By itself, the cooling system works quite efficiently. It takes air in through the back of the laptop and pushes it out the sides. Some other devices do the opposite, and now it’s annoying, because it does not allow you to use the device normally. We can only hope that other manufacturers will peep this system from Acer.

Case Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

As mentioned earlier, the Triton 300 SE is equipped with a Turbo button that accelerates the fans to the sound of helicopter blades, as well as speeding up the processor and video card. The frame rates described above, which the laptop showed during testing, were achieved without using the Turbo mode. But even with him, the difference is not very noticeable.

Also see no difference in Adobe Premiere Pro video export between this laptop and others tested this year. The five-minute 4K video test took 5 minutes and 40 seconds, which is about the same as many others. But given the size and price tag of this device, such results are even encouraging.

Acer equips the Triton 300 SE with a 14-inch 1080p IPS display with 16:9 aspect ratio, 144Hz refresh rate and 300nits maximum brightness. During the launch of games, the display reproduces colors well and shows normal brightness. Although at times the picture starts to twitch a little. Perhaps it’s the high response time, which increases the delay. As a result, the cursor does not move across the screen as smoothly as on other laptops with the same high refresh rate. This also affects the gameplay, games sometimes seem too blurry. Acer has not yet commented on this situation.

In addition, the viewing angle of the display is not as wide as one would expect from an IPS panel. It looks normal at right angles. But, if you look at it from the side, the picture darkens significantly, and you have to increase the brightness. And extra brightness for such an ordinary battery life can be fatal. This mistake could cost Acer many buyers.

The keyboard of the Triton 300 SE pleased with both the layout and the arrangement of the keys. The keyboard has three-zone backlighting, each of which can be customized to a different color using the built-in Predator software. The layout is intuitive and easy to use, even though many features require holding Fn to enable. The main thing is that the keyboard does not feel cramped, and it is comfortable to type on it.

The glass touchpad works well with all gestures, but overall it’s not as responsive as I’d like. Most likely, the point is not even in it, but in the large response time of the screen. The fingerprint scanner, located in the upper left corner of the touchpad, works every other time. In this case, it would be better if there was more space on the panel, because entering a pin code is sometimes faster than using this sensor.

The number of ports here is also pleasing. Acer has placed two USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports in the Triton 300 SE (one on each side), with the right one specifically designed for charging some portable gadgets. The highlight of the program is Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, which can be used to transfer files and connect an external display. Also pleased with the presence of HDMI 2.1, which allows you to display a picture on the second screen in 4K resolution at 120 FPS. The combo audio jack and charging port are also in place. Lacks USB-C charging capability. Therefore, you will always have to connect the laptop to a power outlet through a proprietary 180W power adapter. By itself, it is not very big, and thanks for that.

It’s worth talking a little more about battery life to clarify something. 5-6 hours of battery life when using the browser and office applications is not bad. The bad news is that Acer claims ten hours of battery life. You can really try to stretch that much, but in that case you will have to do something as simple as possible. For example, start the video in HD, and turn off all other services and applications completely. This may be suitable for those who often fly planes or ride trains, but most people buy a laptop not for this, especially for gaming. Therefore, to say about 10 hours of battery life in this case, to put it mildly, is incorrect. The most you’ll get out of the Triton 300 SE, if you don’t push it too hard, is six hours. For a gaming laptop, it’s really not bad, but it’s far from a 10.

Right side of Acer Predator Triton 300 SE

Acer wanted to compete with Asus in the mid-range 14-inch gaming laptop segment. Go against a laptop whose only major downside is the lack of a webcam. A very bold and ambitious move. At first, the company even got something. She equipped her laptop with a webcam, added a Thunderbolt 4 connector and made an even more attractive design than the G14. The Triton 300 SE also handles games better because it’s equipped with the latest hardware rather than last year’s. But something tells him that even this leadership will only be until the new G14 enters the market.

But entering this ring, Acer did not understand what Asus was striving for when developing their laptop. She wanted to show that a gaming laptop is more than just a very powerful device. It’s something that can have decent battery life, portability, versatility, good build quality and still not be loaded with junk software. Without realizing all this and without drawing the appropriate conclusions, the new Predator proved to be not a predator, but a prey.

Gasoline prices are unpredictable, Uber can be very expensive during peak periods, and if your car starts make strange sounds, repairing it can cost quite a bit.

                          Whether you can get your car tuned up at a major auto repair shop like Jiffy Lube or you DIY with car repairs, paid survey sites can help you with your expenses.

                          Here are survey sites that offer gift cards for car repairs, maintenance, and even auto parts!

                          Branded Surveys offers gift cards for AutoZone (where parts and accessories can be purchased). You can also redeem your points for JiffyLube gift cards (for service and maintenance of your vehicle). Sign up to receive a free signup bonus of $1. 00.

                          Visa Cards: Universal Pay vs. Travel Gift Cards

                          Most online survey websites offer you the option to redeem your points as PayPal payments or Visa prepaid debit cards.

                          Potentially you can use one of these options to pay for goods at a gas station or any auto shop.

                          What? With PayPal, your account is linked to your bank account. You can transfer money from your PayPal account to your bank account at any time, so the next time you accumulate a PayPal balance and transfer it to your bank account, when you try to pay for something with your debit card, you can actually pay for it using money earned by taking online surveys.

                          In addition, Visa prepaid cards are often offered as a reward option by many survey groups. You can simply select this option as your preferred reward when redeeming your survey funds.

                          However, you may find that a $10 PayPal payment costs you more points than a $10 gift card. Visa prepaid debit cards are also often more expensive, as cash always ends up having more value than a gift card.

                          However, as a general rule, a niche gift card (Uber, Exxon, Jiffy Lube, etc. fall into this category) can usually be purchased for fewer points than a cash payment. Be sure to calculate and choose your reward wisely , which is worth as few points as possible!

                          Ultimately, however, you want to choose an online survey website that is easy to use and pays well for your time.

  • Overview
  • BRC studio cameras
  • SRG live streaming cameras

Both the BRC and SRG remote camera ranges have many similar traits – for a start, the chassis look very alike. However, there are differences hiding inside these little robotic cameras. Each series is tailored to maximise the potential for their specific application setting.

BRC studio cameras are primarily aimed at the broadcast industry. The imaging technology within this series is specifically tailored to areas like studios, newsrooms and live interview rooms.

Professional quality images are captured, from any angle – making a BRC camera a versatile choice for today’s modern broadcaster.

SRG live streaming cameras are primarily aimed at the conventional corporate and larger venue applications. Houses of worship, boardrooms and auditoria are the perfect setting.

Again, the imaging technology within these SRG cameras make it possible for live events, meetings and ceremonies to be captured in high definition quality, captivating those specific audiences.

BRC remote cameras

Enjoy true high quality footage, plus the flexibility and convenience of remote, robotic operation. Our compact BRC remote cameras are perfect for TV broadcast studios, remote on-air suites and live sports events. With silent PTZ control plus broadcast-friendly features like a tally lamp for on-air operation, the BRC range is packed with the latest remote-recording technology. There’s also a full range of interface and remote control options to integrate simply with your broadcast infrastructure.

TV studios and newsrooms

Our BRC-H900 remote camera belongs in a modern broadcast environment, delivering uncompromising Full HD picture quality without requiring a dedicated camera operator on the studio floor. With tripod or ceiling mount options, silent PTZ and a tally light they’re ideal for news and other on-air applications.

Isolated rooms

Capture broadcast quality pictures in environments where it’s not practical or desirable to have a full-sized camera with a dedicated operator. BRC cameras are ideal for remote studios and reality TV, as well as any type of isolated interview room. Our BRC-H700 brings the convenience of unattended PTZ operation, and the ‘Image Flip’ function means that the remote camera can be mounted on a ceiling using the supplied ceiling mount kit or placed on a flat surface depending on your needs.

Live sports and outdoor events

BRC robotic cameras are great for live sports coverage, slipping easily into prime positions to capture the ultimate action. With our BRC-Z700 cameras, you can stitch together amazing angles – capturing the entire scene and all the crucial moments. These remote cameras can also be placed in hard-to-access areas where there’s no space for a full-sized camera and dedicated operator – like right by the goalmouth, by a dangerous bend in a race track or hanging from the roof of a stadium.

SRG remote cameras

SRG remote cameras capture smooth detailed pictures at Full HD resolution, even in dimly-lit locations. Speedy PTZ control with powerful zoom and a wide viewing angle ensure that every video conference participant is seen clearly. Multiple outputs let you stream your footage over IP networks and record simultaneously – great for medical lectures, virtual meetings, webcasts and corporate presentations.

Boardrooms and meeting rooms

From video conferences to virtual meetings – Sony SRG remote cameras are the ideal choice for capturing clearly-detailed pictures in meeting rooms, conference suites and huddle spaces. Small, silent and discreet, they’re a stylish addition to any boardroom. Picture quality is far superior to any webcam, with high sensitivity and excellent contrast to give meetings a more professional polish.

Featured model: SRG-300SE

Classrooms, lecture theatres and auditoria

Enhance teaching and collaborative learning with SRG remote cameras. Connect pupils and lecturers in real time across different campuses and with other colleges. Encourage interactive discussions, and stream lectures and classroom presentations across the web with detail-packed HD clarity. Record lessons and lectures for pupils to review and deepen their understanding of new topics.

Featured model: SRG-120DU

Houses of worship

Streaming and displaying a service or ceremony within a House of Worship could pose difficulties due to the varying size of the venues. No matter the size – our SRG remote streaming series can capture close ups and full scenes clearly – enabling any formalities and rituals to be streamed live around the venue, so that no matter where the congregation are sitting or standing, the images are clear.

High quality voice capture is also possible via the stereo audio connection – you can attach a microphone to stream both sound and imagery on our SRG-360SHE camera. A lip-sync feature makes it even easier to disperse irregularities between picture and sound.

Small scale broadcasts

The SRG-360SHE streams smooth, detail-packed Full HD (1080/60p) video over an IP network connection, with additional outputs providing simultaneous feeds over 3G-SDI and HDMI at the same time. This triple streaming capability makes the camera ideal for smaller scale broadcasts – such as high-end vlogging, or pre-recorded interviews.

An improved PTZ mechanism ensures smooth, steady camera movements for polished, professional-looking coverage of any scene. Separate pan, tilt and zoom movements can be synchronised to start and stop together, and a ‘trace’ of pre-set camera positions can be stored for recall at any time.

Remote Video Recording – CamRanger

Wirelessly control your camera to record videos with a tablet, phone or computer!

Wireless Connection For Video Control and Monitoring

  • Monitor your video recording wirelessly on a phone, tablet, or computer 
  • Start and stop the recording from the CamRanger app, eliminating camera shake
  • Wirelessly adjust exposure, fine-tune focus, tweak white balance, from up to 500 feet away
  • Use focus peaking overlays, display audio levels, and make adjustments during video recording

Control Your Camera From Up To 500 Feet Away

The need to control and monitor multiple cameras is just one complicated scenario videographers often find themselves in. If you’re covering a wedding, for example, you may have a camera located in a balcony, or at the back of a room, while you’re moving around getting handheld footage. 

With the CamRanger, you no longer need to run back and forth to your camera to check composition, adjust camera settings, or start/stop recording. You can do all of that and more right from your phone, tablet, or computer with a wireless range of up to 500 feet!

Wirelessly Monitor Your Video On A Large Screen

At a video shoot, you’ll likely have a crew or client needing to monitor and review footage as it’s being captured. Solutions for this often get rather complicated and can run up the cost of your shoot quickly. 

But with the CamRanger’s quick and easy setup, you can share a live-view of your recording to multiple devices while still maintaining control of your camera on your device. You’ll find your shoots are far more efficient when your crew, or client, or director, can review footage as it’s being shot and provide immediate feedback for you.

The CamRanger is also perfect for when you need to be a “one man show” and do everything, such as recording or streaming church services, sporting events, and more.

Use the PT Hub & MP-360 To Remotely Pan And Tilt Your Camera

If you’re looking to gain motion control over videography, look no further than the PT Hub & MP-360!

Combining the advanced control of the CamRanger with the range of motion of a motorized tripod head gives you the control you need to ensure your composition is perfect and follow the action as it moves. And all without needing to take your camera down to adjust placement.

And best of all, you can control everything (exposure settings, focus adjustments, pan/tilt, and more) within the CamRanger app on your phone, tablet, or computer.

How to remotely control the smartphone camera on Android and iOS

Have you ever needed to take a picture, but there is no way to press the shutter? There can be many reasons for this: the smartphone is mounted on a tripod and you need to avoid shaking (this is true when shooting astrophotography or with close proximity) or you are physically at some distance from the device, for example, when you are both a photographer and a model in the picture. But there are still situations when you just have dirty hands. One way or another, remotely launching the camera and taking a picture is a useful feature that any user should be aware of. Today we will analyze several options, how different gadgets or system capabilities of your smartphone will help solve this problem.

With watch

Today, many smart watches support the ability to launch the camera of a companion smartphone, and if not, then at least take pictures in an already running application. We will not be able to cover the entire range of Android devices: there are many of them and the interfaces are very different. You can remember Wear Camera for Wear OS, Camera Controller when it comes to Tizen. If you’re using a wearable device with a proprietary OS, just go through the settings and installed apps, you’ll probably find something there.
As for the iPhone and Apple Watch, they also have this option and it works great: there is a small viewfinder, a timer and switching between the front and rear cameras directly from the watch. Speaking of the timer. By default, the picture will be taken three seconds after you press the shutter, but this setting can be changed.

Using Xiaomi Mi Band

On the new generations of Mi Band (fifth and sixth), camera control is among the regular applications, but for the “oldies” we can advise Mi Band Selfie. However, the application is peculiar, it also requires the installation of a separate camera, so let’s immediately move on to other options.

Headphones

A fairly old but no less effective way to control the camera is to use a headset. With wired problems, most likely, there will be no problems at all, but wireless solutions do not support such functionality. If you are using an Android smartphone, you can install the dedicated Remote Selfie app. With it, you can not only control the shutter, but also set a timer and turn the camera sound on / off.

Voice assistant

In Android, everything is simple: you need to call the voice assistant and say a command, and the virtual assistant “understands” a variety of options, such as “Start the camera”, “Take a photo”, “Take a picture” or “Take a selfie”, and the latter option immediately activates the front camera, and after three seconds it takes a photo.
As for Siri, Apple’s assistant can launch the camera (rear or front, depending on the command), but you still have to press the shutter yourself.

Camera voice control (iPhone only)

This method is unique for iOS and does not work in Russian, but we will briefly describe it. We go along the path Settings – Accessibility – Voice control. By activating the corresponding switch, you can control the camera shutter, but, again, only in English. The “Turn up the volume” command activates the side button, which is responsible for the shutter, if the camera application is running.

Bluetooth remote

This is probably the easiest option, but you will need additional equipment for it. Tripods and monopods are sometimes equipped with similar remote controls for camera remote control, you can find similar ones separately. Write to us in the comments if you are interested in the topic and would like to read our selection of such gadgets from AliExpress.

Honeywell’s wall plate surge protector allows you to get more usage from the standard outlets around your home while saving space and eliminating extra extension cords. It comes with two AC charging outlets, along with a USB-A and USB-C port for compatible devices.

Another convenient feature is the integrated phone stand, because you can set your device right on top of the wall plate to finish charging. Items plugged in are protected from surges up to 800 joules, and charges electronics with a 3.1-amp output.

While this surge protector doesn’t offer nearly as many outlets or charging ports as other options on our list, it’s still a viable method for making the most of your standard home outlets.

Pros
  • Equipment protection policy
  • LEDs to indicate protection status
  • Six outlets
  • Cord can lay flat

APC has a lot of confidence in this 11-outlet SurgeArrest, so much so that it offers a $100,000 equipment protection policy. Short of using it in a research lab to protect scientific instruments, we had a hard time coming up with a list of equipment to match that total. Multiple layers of protection will guard against power surges coming through your coaxial TV cable, telephone/DSL lines, and home’s electrical outlets. There are LEDs to indicate protection status and building wiring faults.

The six outlets are spaced nicely to accommodate large power adaptors, and all of them have sliding covers to keep out dust and debris when not in use. The heavy cord swivels 180 degrees so that it can lay flat and out of the way, no matter which way it’s oriented behind furniture.

Pros
  • Two separate outlets for larger adaptors
  • Four USB ports
  • Can be used with some appliances
Cons
  • Shorter extension cord

Bestek’s 8-Outlet power strip is ideal as an accessible, under-desk power solution. We found that eight outlets were more than enough for a fully outfitted, single work-station desk. Two of these are set apart from the others to accommodate devices with large plugs. The other six are spaced more tightly, and we were able to use all of them with a range of standard plugs.

Four smart USB charging ports ensure each device is charged at the voltage and rate best suited for it, and they self-adjust the current when charging multiple devices simultaneously. The lighted on/off switch has an integrated circuit breaker for overload protection on all outlets, so your devices will be safe from fluctuations in voltage or a sudden lightning strike.

9000 3 Category Surge protectors Brennenstuhl for computer

Modern The world uses a huge amount of household appliances, all kinds of electronics and expensive electrical appliances. All of them are powered by the mains, and power surges can lead to their failure. To avoid such situations, the German manufacturer Brennenstuhl has developed several lines of surge protectors that provide reliable protection for connected equipment from power failures. These are devices designed for a maximum load of up to 13.5-120.0 A, depending on the model.

Brennenstuhl surge protectors are designed for use in domestic and office environments. Whether there are power failures, power surges, indirect lightning strikes, substation or transformer failures, connected equipment is protected in all these situations. The use of such devices allows you to protect expensive electrical equipment and equipment even during power surges caused by connecting equipment with an inductive load to the network.

The products of the German brand Brennenstuhl have proven themselves in the international market. A well-known manufacturer offers really reliable and easy-to-use products that will become a practical solution for both home and office. The catalog contains several series of network filters that differ in their purpose, functionality, design, maximum protective current. These are extension cords for a different number of sockets, with USB ports, automatic Master-Slave control, additional protection against interference of the antenna wire or telephone line.

All Brennenstuhl surge protectors have child-proof lockable sockets. This feature will be an important factor when choosing an option for home use if the family has small children. Lockable sockets reliably protect inquisitive fidgets from the dangerous effects of electric current.

In most models, a light indication of protection activation is provided. If the signal lamp is on, then the overvoltage protection is activated, if the indication does not work, then the protection of the connected devices is not guaranteed. Brennenstuhl guarantees the efficiency and reliability of its mains filters under strict adherence to the rules for the use of devices.

what it does, device diagram, what

is intended for
The behavior of voltage in a household electrical network is unpredictable. There may be several reasons why the current parameters go beyond the permissible deviations. Often these are short-term power surges and interference, and sometimes systematic violations of standard norms. The evening voltage in the network differs from the morning one due to the large number of connected devices. Connecting powerful building or home equipment will cause transient noise that interferes with audio and video equipment. The result of temporary and permanent voltage deviations from a sinusoid is a deterioration in the quality of work and breakdown of home appliances. One way to avoid trouble is to connect electrical appliances through a surge protector (SF). In simple words, a surge protector is an extension cord with a toggle switch and a built-in protection unit that provides passive filtering of the input voltage. Let us consider in more detail the design options for different models and the tasks they perform.

What a surge protector does and what it protects against

Household electrical network problems that various network filter models struggle with:

  • Short circuit. Phase and zero are connected without load. This situation occurs when a wire breaks or a short circuit occurs in any device. In this case, the surge protector turns off all equipment.
  • Interference. They arise due to devices connected to the network with switching power supplies. Such equipment includes computers and televisions. High-frequency interference does not damage the electronics, but worsens the quality of its work. Ripples appear on the screens of analog TVs, the image is distorted, extraneous sounds appear in the audio equipment. Extraneous signals distort the operation of sound recording and reproducing devices.
  • Power surges. They can be caused by devices with an inductive load, such as refrigerators, welding machines.

There is another, unknown to many, danger of interference. With the help of special equipment, through electromagnetic noise, which is transmitted through a neutral conductor located outside the house or apartment, you can access confidential information.

Mains filter principle

Filters of various types struggle with factors that distort the ideal form of an AC voltage sine wave:

  • High frequency interference. To eliminate them, inductors are used. If a high frequency current is applied to them, then the resistance in the coils increases, and the sinusoids of the periods leading to high-frequency interference are cut off. To achieve the maximum effect allows the use of two coils installed on the phase and neutral wires.
  • Low frequency interference. Active resistances – resistors – help to deal with such interference. Network filters use resistors with a nominal value of 0.5-1.0 ohms. Usually 2 resistors are installed.

The use of a complex of these filters allows you to get rid of high-frequency and low-frequency interference and, as a result, obtain a sinusoid with a frequency of 50 Hz.

Almost all SFs are equipped with surge protection. But line filters are needed only in the presence of short-term voltage pulses. They do not protect against prolonged excess of this parameter. If there is too high or too low voltage in the area for a long time, it is recommended to install a stabilizer, since the mains filter is useless in this case.

Network filter device with different functionality

Cheap SF options, in fact, are a “carry” with surge protection and an on-off toggle switch. Overvoltage protection is provided by a varistor.

More expensive mains filter circuits include:

  • Built-in LC filters, which are inductors. Designed to deal with high frequency interference.
  • Coils with active resistance – resistors. The presence of these elements in the mains filter circuit eliminates low-frequency interference.
  • Automatic fuse that cuts off the power supply in case of current overload.
  • Metal-oxide varistors that operate at prohibitively high voltages, which are possible during thunderstorms, short circuits.
Standard ratings of used parts:
  • Coil inductance – 50-200 µH.
  • Capacitor capacitance – 0.22-1 uF.
  • Varistors – rated up to 470 V.

The circuit may include an overheating sensor that de-energizes the device when the temperature exceeds the set value. The sensor saves the SF from damage in cases where it is located near heating devices or too high a load is connected to it.

Features

The main elements of a modern high-quality network filter:

  • Flame retardant PVC plug. Modern devices use ergonomic plugs with an improved design, which provides easy pulling out of the socket.
  • Wire made of three insulated copper strands in a common sheath. An elastic sleeve is provided at the place where the wire is connected to the body, which protects the cable from creases. Wire length – 1.5, 1.8, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 10.0 m.
  • Housing. Made from durable ABS plastic. It is carried out in white, light gray, gray colors. The housing contains blocks for filtering interference, a switch, a thermal switch. The outlet openings can be equipped with protective shutters that prevent dirt from entering them. Protective shutters also prevent young children from touching live parts.

Types of switches:

  • General. Disconnect from the power at once all the outlets of the device. This option is the most common.
  • Individual. Unplug individual outlets.
  • Remote controls. SF with remote controls are rare and quite expensive. Convenient for people with disabilities.

Additionally, a light indicator may be present in the design, most often connected to a switch. Indicates whether the device is on or off. Some models are equipped with hinges on the back of the case for wall mounting.

Levels of protection provided by filters of different functionality

Conventionally, SF can be divided into the following groups according to the degree of protection:

  • Essential. They are inexpensive, structurally simple, used to connect inexpensive home appliances. The difference between inexpensive network filters and conventional extension cords is that they provide protection against short-term power surges, take a hit on themselves and turn off the devices.
  • Advanced level (Home/Office). Widely used for appliances operated at home and in the office. Present on the market in a rich assortment.
  • Professional level (Perfomence). Such network filters are able to dampen all interference, so they are designed to connect expensive equipment that is sensitive to interference.

Number and type of sockets

In modern devices, from 4 to 8 European-type sockets are provided. These sockets are designed for plugs with two round pins. They are produced in two types – C and F. C sockets are made without a ground plate, in products of type F it is present. The ground plate improves the safety of using electrical appliances.

Main parameters of network filters

SF differ in the cross section of the supply wires. The most common options are wires with a cross section of 0.75 or 1.0 mm2. Such sections are sufficient to provide a maximum load current of 10 A. If it is necessary to provide a rated current of 16 A, then an SF with a conductor cross section of 1.5 mm2 is purchased.

When choosing a device, pay attention to the maximum allowable load power that can be connected. This indicator is equal to the product of the maximum allowable load current and network voltage. Almost any model is suitable for ensuring the operation of computers and peripheral devices. But before buying a surge protector for household appliances, it is necessary to approximately determine the total power of the devices that you plan to connect. If the total power of the equipment is higher than the power allowed for this model, then you should not buy such an SF.

Ways to improve simple line filter circuits

Radio amateurs can upgrade the mains filter with a switch and a varistor by improving its circuitry.

For this you need:

  • open the housing;
  • Solder resistors R1, R2 and inductive coils (chokes) L1, L2 into parallel branches after the switch and varistor;
  • alternately close the branches through the capacitor C1 and the resistor R3;
  • terminal capacitor C2 can be installed between outlets anywhere. If there is no space inside the case, you can do without it. In this case, the parameters of the capacitor C1 are corrected.

Recommendations for choosing parts:

  • chokes with open ferrite cores from 10 µH;
  • capacitors – 0.22-1.0 uF;
  • resistors – for a load of 500 W, resistors of 0.22 Ohm are used, R3 is at least 500 kOhm.

Schemes for connecting the mains filter to the electrical network

In many modern SF models, the ground wire has no connection with the internal circuit, except for the ground contacts of euro sockets and euro plugs.

However, some of the features on this dishwasher have some major drawbacks. That top third rack has special spots for extra place settings, but it takes away from the cutlery section. The Express Wash cycle took a whopping hour and 13 minutes to run, and it provided a below-average clean.

Warranty: Two-year warranty on parts and labor, five-year warranty on parts

What we like

The interior has flexible storage

Credit:
Reviewed / Kyle Hamilton

The KDTM404KPS can hold up to 16 place settings.

Our testing showed that the KDTM404KPS is capable of handling tons of different situations. Overall, you can fit up to 16 place settings, where most dishwashers can only fit 14. This comes from a combination of third rack storage and well-spaced tines in the main cavity.

It has two cutlery baskets, one in the bottom rack and one in the third rack. The middle rack can be lowered and raised.

Its third rack can fit a little of everything

KitchenAid calls the unique third rack in the KDTM404KPS “FreeFlex.” Half the rack has deeply angled tines that can accommodate six-inch glasses and coffee mugs. For the bakers amongst us, you can even put small muffin pans and mixing bowls.

Credit:
Reviewed / Kyle Hamilton

The third rack can handle mugs, bowls, and glasses.

What sets this third rack over the top is that it has rotating spray jets that actually do a decent job of cleaning. While it’s not unusual for third racks to have their spray arms, it’s pretty special for them to have their own dedicated jets capable of spraying into the nooks of pans and cups. Having a third rack that can deal with mugs and glasses frees up so much room on the lower racks.

Stain removal performance is top-notch

Our cleaning tests include a whole gauntlet of stains, ranging from burnt-on cheese to plastered-on spinach. On the Normal and Tough cycles, the KDTM404KPS put up some really impressive numbers, removing 99.9% and 99.7% of stains, respectively.

To put that in perspective, the Bosch SHPM88Z75N, a dishwasher that costs $250 more, removes 95.6% of stains on its Normal cycle and 97.5% of stains on Heavy.

It’s quiet to run

The KDTM404KPS achieved all of its impressive cleaning performance while remaining very quiet. This dishwasher is rated for 44 dBA, which means you can run it and not hear it from another room.

The stainless steel interior really helps dampen the noise. Take, for example, the Whirlpool WDT730PAHZ, which are made by the same parent company so they share a lot of DNA. It’s a mid-tier dishwasher with a stainless steel door, but a plastic interior. It has a noise rating of about 51 dBA, and sounds like light rain against your window.

What we don’t like

Cycles are slow

Credit:
Reviewed / Kyle Hamilton

The Normal and Tough cycles performed above average while the Express Wash was not up to snuff.

We clocked the Express Wash at 74 minutes. We’d expect something closer to 60 minutes for this type of cycle, especially considering the results were below-average. The Normal cycle took two hours and 40 minutes to cross the finish line. Finally, the Tough cycles finished in three hours.

To put that in perspective, the Bosch SHEM3AY52N cleans about as well, but it’s Normal cycle and Heavy cycles are about two hours and 15 minutes.

The third rack isn’t for everyone

The FreeFlex third rack on the KDTM404KPS is a departure from the traditional design that only allows for utensils. While it is one of the deepest third racks we’ve ever tested, space is still very limited. You may find yourself putting glasses and small bowls up there all the time, or, if you’re used to the older style third rack, decide that there’s not enough space for your utensils and not bother.

What users are saying

The user reviews of the KitchenAid KDTM404KPS are overwhelmingly positive. At Lowe’s, 95% of people who reviewed it recommended it. Users cite how quiet the unit is and how well it cleans.

Should you buy the KitchenAid KDTM404KPS?

Yes. If you’ve ever felt like you always run out of room in the dishwasher, this is the model for you. The spacious interior and FreeFlex third rack are your ace-in-the-hole when tackling the dishes. Bosch might have a slight edge when it comes to speed, but the KDTM404KPS has a style none can match.

What to Consider When Choosing the Best KitchenAid Dishwasher

Although it’s easy to assume that all dishwashers offer similar performance, a number of factors affect their functionality. Keep reading to learn about the important features to consider when choosing a dishwasher for your kitchen.

Size and Capacity

Choosing a dishwasher that’s the correct size is essential. Dishwashers have relatively standard dimensions, with a height of 34 inches and width of 24 inches. Most kitchen counters are 36 inches tall, and most dishwashers are therefore designed to fit underneath them. KitchenAid dishwashers typically measure ​​33.75 to 35 inches tall, 23.5 to 24 inches wide, and 23.25 to 28 inches deep, though other brands do produce models that are both smaller and larger.

A dishwasher’s capacity is tied to its size and is typically measured in the number of place settings it can accommodate. Most standard dishwashers accommodate between 8 and 12 place settings. KitchenAid’s modern dishwashers offer capacities of up to 16 place settings, setting them apart on the market.

Design

While most KitchenAid dishwashers look relatively similar from the outside, their interiors feature a variety of designs. Some dishwashers have just two racks, while others have a third rack that’s designed to increase the washing capacity. These third racks can be adjustable, allowing users to raise or lower them accordingly to accommodate their dishes.

In terms of aesthetics, some KitchenAid dishwashers only come in a single finish, while others may be available in several colors to best match other appliances. The most popular finish is stainless steel, and many KitchenAid models feature PrintShield, a fingerprint-resistant coating that keeps the dishwasher looking its best.

Settings

The wash settings are what differentiate one KitchenAid dishwasher from another. All KitchenAid dishwashers have at least three wash cycles: normal, tough, and light. The tough wash is suitable for cleaning pots and pans, while the light wash is ideal for delicate glassware. Along with these standard cycles, some higher-end models may feature additional settings, including express wash, rinse only, heat dry, high-temp wash, bottle wash, sani rinse, and top-rack only.

A delayed wash setting comes in handy for programming the dishwasher to run at a set time, be it first thing in the morning or after everyone has gone to bed.

Noise Level

When choosing a dishwasher, its noise level is an important consideration, especially for those living in smaller spaces. While older dishwashers tend to be quite noisy, newer models are designed to be as quiet as possible.

The sound level of a dishwasher is measured in decibels. A normal conversation is approximately 60 decibels (dB), while a whisper is about 30 dB. Most modern dishwashers operate at between 40 and 45 dB, though some KitchenAid models are even quieter, operating at below 40 dB. Before choosing a model, verify its noise level to ensure it’s suitable for your living situation.

Additional Features 

While all KitchenAid dishwashers serve the same basic purpose, some have additional features that set them apart.

  • Integrated controls are situated along the door’s top edge, hiding them from view and creating a more sleek, modern look.
  • The Advanced Clean Water Wash System uses microfiltration to remove food particles.
  • The ProWash Cycle detects dirt levels and automatically adjusts the cycle time and water usage accordingly.
  • LED interior lighting allows users to see the inside of the dishwasher easily.
  • The Fan-Enabled ProDry System uses a heating element and a fan to dry the dishes efficiently.

Members of the Presidium of the Council of Legislators of the Russian Federation discussed the need to update the personnel training system for numerous vacancies in the labor market, as well as organizing health-improving summer holidays for children.

Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir Region

As noted by representatives of the Vladimir Region, instead of the expected collapse of the economy due to unprecedented sanctions, the country is now, on the contrary, experiencing a noticeable increase in industrial production, developing the labor market and attending to the training of qualified personnel. The Vladimir region is a vivid example of this.

– Last year alone, the growth in investment increased by 85 percent compared to the previous year, – Vladimir Kiselev, chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the region, cited the figures. – This is one of the best indicators in the country. On the other hand, these funds will be used to build new industrial enterprises, and, naturally, they need personnel.

The Vladimir region is far from being the only region demonstrating industrial growth, so the head of state also raised the issue of training qualified personnel in his address to the Federal Assembly, and it became the main item on the agenda of the February meeting of the Presidium of the Council of Legislators of the country. In particular, they talked about targeted enrollment in universities – the relevant bill has already been adopted in the first reading.

– This is a completely new, unique system that for the first time creates the possibility of an open and fair competition for admission to state-funded places in popular specialties with a guarantee of the first job, reinforcing the employer’s interest, with the possibility of additional social support measures, as well as addressing the issue of mentoring and passing industrial practice, – explained the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Irina Yarovaya.

According to Vladimir Kiselev, enterprises in the Vladimir Region alone will need at least 10,000 new qualified employees in the near future. These are both engineering and technical workers and highly qualified workers with higher education.

– Therefore, it is necessary to develop professional orientation already from school age, as it was in Soviet times. When excursions were organized for high school students to industrial enterprises, to various institutions, – the chairman of the Legislative Assembly believes.

The Speaker of the Legislative Assembly once again stressed that the previous many years of positive experience must be used by all means. The Bologna system of higher education adopted in Europe did not take root in Russia so well, and in the current realities there is no need for it at all. But a specialist is in great demand, practice, mentoring and, perhaps, even distribution after graduation are needed. Together with the branch of the Privolzhsky Medical University that is opening in Vladimir, this will at least help solve the problem of personnel in the regional healthcare.

Another important issue considered by the Presidium of the Council of Legislators is related to the organization of recreational activities for children next summer.

Apple iPod Touch (7th generation): a solid music player

iPods are now discontinued, but the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) is still well worth your time

TechRadar Verdict

The Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) is still fantastic for gaming and listening to music, with Apple’s A10 Fusion chip making its AR experience better than ever, too. If you can find one, they’re relatively inexpensive, and could be an ideal entertainment device (especially for kids). Be warned though: the camera isn’t great, and you’ll miss Touch ID.

TODAY’S BEST DEALS

Why you can trust TechRadar
We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

The Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) was released in May 2019. This was a move that took everyone by surprise considering it was the first upgrade Apple had made to its portable music and video player since 2015.

According to Apple, the updated iPod Touch has enhancements in power, capability and communication over its predecessors. But, without a doubt, the iPod Touch (7th generation) was geared towards gaming, with its release coming just in time for the launch of Apple’s gaming service, Apple Arcade. 

But is the iPod Touch 7 also a worthy music player like the many iPod Touch devices that came before it? The answer is: yes. That’s why, despite the fact a steady (but slow) stream of portable music players continue to be released by other brands, it’s still one of our top picks in our best MP3 players guide. The problem, however, might be finding one…

Since the release of the iPod Touch 7 we’re reviewing here, Apple has officially discontinued the iPod line. But rather than mean that iPod Touch devices like this one are old news, there’s been fresh demand for the portable music players as people are desperate to get one before they’re no more.  

Read our Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) review below to find out whether Apple’s music player in your pocket is worth snapping up. 

Apple iPod Touch (7th generation): price and availability

  • Discontinued, so could soon be difficult to find
  • Relatively cheap for an Apple product

Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) key specs

Capacity: 32GB, 128GB, 256GB
Dimensions: 123.4mm X 58.6mm X 6.1mm (H X W X D)
Weight: 88g
Battery: 40 hours
Display: 4-inch Retina Display, 1136×640-pixel resolution at 326 pp
Camera: 8MP camera, 1080p HD video recording, FaceTime HD Camera
Audio formats: AAC-LC, HE-AAC, HE-AAC v2, Protected AAC, MP3, Linear PCM, Apple Lossless, FLAC, Dolby Digital (AC‑3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC‑3) and Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX and AAX+)

The Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) is still on the Apple website, but has been sold out for some time.  

Since Apple discontinued the whole iPod range in Spring 2022, demand for the Apple iPod Touch 7 has been high, so it’s no surprise last remaining stock from Apple is no longer available. 

However, many third party retailers do have some models and colors of the iPod Touch (7th generation) available – we’re just not sure how long they’ll stick around.

At the time of writing, you can find the 32GB model for $199 / £199 / AU$299 / AED 849, with the price rising to $299 / £299 / AU$499 / AED 1,269 for the 128GB model.

The most expensive option is the $399 / £399 / AU$599 / AED 1,689 256GB model, which is the version we tested for this review.

This price isn’t cheap, but it’s good for an Apple product. Especially considering how good music playback and gaming is on this little device.

When the The Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) was first released, there were six colors to choose from: space grey, silver, pink, blue, gold and red. However, with stock levels low, space grey seems to be one of the few shades still available. Of course, this depends where you look.

  • Slim and sleek build
  • Good choice of colors
  • It has a 3.5mm headphone jack

The Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) looks identical to the iPod Touch that came before it, like the 6th gen and even the 5th gen version. It has a four-inch display and a sleek, lightweight build. 

At the bottom of the iPod touch you’ll find the home button. Annoyingly, however, it doesn’t feature Apple’s Touch ID technology. This was introduced way back in 2013 with the iPhone 5S, so it’s a shame it’s not here.

This means you have to remember a six-digit passcode to unlock the iPod, which might not be ideal for younger users who could struggle to remember a passcode – although parents who want to limit children’s usage of their device might find this useful.

As with pre-iPhone X iPhone models, the on/off button is situated on the top of the iPod, while you’ll find the volume buttons on the left-hand side of the display. There are also front- and rear-facing cameras – more on those later. 

Image credit: Future (Image credit: Future)

The bottom edge of the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) houses a built-in speaker, Lightning port, and, puzzlingly, a 3.5mm headphone jack. Apple stopped including headphone jacks on its smartphones a long time ago in favor of its own multi-purpose Lightning port, with the last jack-friendly models, the iPhone 6S and iPhone SE, being discontinued in 2018.

We’ve speculated as to why Apple would include a headphone jack on the new iPod, with possible explanations ranging from the superior audio quality provided by wired headphones to the theory that Apple is trying to appeal to children who may find wireless headphones fiddly and annoying to use. 

Reunited with the 3.5mm headphone jack, we’re reminded of how convenient it is to use if you have regular wired headphones to hand – which you will do, as the iPod Touch comes with a pair of Apple’s infamous EarPods, as well as a Lightning cable for charging.  

That said, we realized that we hadn’t really missed the headphone jack as much as we thought we would. After all, wireless headphones are getting better all the time – take a look at our pick of the best wireless headphones if you need a new pair – and there are plenty of Lightning-enabled cans on the market if you still prefer a wired connection.

At just 88g, the Apple iPod Touch 7 feels incredibly light, while its 4-inch display means it’s easy to hold it and navigate the touchscreen with one hand, making it accessible for kids as well as adults. 

While the display isn’t the most advanced we’ve seen from Apple (it’s the same resolution as 2013’s iPhone 5, in fact), we found the 326ppi LED Retina display bright, clear, and attractive. 

The 1136 x 640 pixel display is definitely a step down from the color-accurate OLED display utilized by the iPhone X, but it’s worth remembering that the cheapest new iPod touch model is only a fifth of the price of Apple’s latest smartphone.

Whether you think that’s a fair trade-off largely depends on how much you care about screen resolution. Steve Jobs originally gave the Retina Display its name due to the fact it’s meant to be so high-res that it’s actually more than the human eye can cope with. Take from that what you will.

Apple iPod Touch (7th generation): battery life

  • Up to 40 hours of music playback
  • Up to 8 hours of video playback

Apple says the battery life of the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) gives you up to 40 hours of music playback, and is good for up to eight hours of video playback. 

Moderate use over a few days, including music playback and casual gaming, didn’t deplete the battery too drastically, although playing demanding games like PUBG (Player Unknown Battlegrounds), and streaming video at full brightness, predictably drained the battery faster than using more basic apps.

Apple iPod Touch (7th generation): sound performance

  • Hi-Res Audio support
  • Sound quality depends on your headphones

We decided to test the iPod 7’s audio performance using the Apple EarPods that are included in the box, and we were pleasantly surprised by how well they handled our music.

Streaming via Apple Music, we listened to Dutch Uncles’ ‘Oh Yeah’. We were impressed by the new iPod touch’s lively and detailed rendering of the track, with tight bass notes and precise percussive hits.

‘Cat Rider’ by Little Dragon had a similarly precise feel, with swirling, smoky synths accentuated by snappy trap beats and subby bass lines. Vocals sounded smooth and clear, from the crystalline high notes right down to the wavering lows. 

Having reached its 7th generation, the iPod touch finally supports the Hi-Res Audio codec FLAC, as well as Apple Lossless, giving you more options than ever when it comes to accessing audiophile-quality music.

Using a Hi-Res Audio playback app for iOS called Vox, we listened to Mozart’s ‘Requiem in D Minor’. The strings had a warm and natural quality, while soprano vocal duets soared sweetly above the mix without ever sounding harsh. 

There’s hardly any point in listening to Hi-Res Audio with Apple’s EarPods, however; they just can’t do the music justice. So we donned a set of Master and Dynamic MW65 Active Noise-Canceling headphones to listen to Foals’ Spanish Sahara, and we were struck by how accurate the gently strummed guitar and soft vocals sounded. 

The headphones you use with the iPod touch will have a huge impact on how good your music sounds. Check out our pick of the best over-ear headphones as these will always outperform the cheap in-ears you bought from the gas station.

That’s not to say the EarPods sound terrible; for casual listening they’re convenient, easy to use, and won’t break the bank if you need to replace them in the future. They’re popular for a reason.  

We also tested out the inbuilt speaker at the bottom of the iPod touch, and it packs quite a punch despite its size. It won’t do for listening to your Hi-Res music, but if just want a little background music for your gaming sessions and can’t be bothered to dig your headphones out, it works just fine.

Apple iPod Touch (7th generation): gaming

  • A10 Fusion chip is good news for gaming and AR
  • Quick and fun to play with

With Apple’s A10 Fusion chip built-in, the iPod Touch 7 is optimized for gaming, including what Apple calls, “immersive augmented reality (AR) experiences”.

When this iPod Touch was first released, it come just in time for the launch of the company’s new gaming service, Apple Arcade. To find out more about it, take a look at our selection of the best Apple Arcade games.

To put the iPod Touch’s AR capabilities to the test, we downloaded AR Dragon from the App Store. The game prompts you to hatch an egg, from which emerges a cute baby dragon that can interact with the real world through the magic of AR.

As you look ‘through’ your screen via the Camera app, you can see your dragon interacting with the objects in your surroundings. We found the game loaded quickly; something that will appeal to impatient younger users who want to see their dragon in action as fast as possible. 

We also tested the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) on something more simple: Whale Trail from ustwo Games is a colorful endless flyer, and it looked fantastic on the iPod touch’s backlit LED display, and we didn’t experience any latency issues.

However, to really put the iPod touch through its paces we had to give it something a little more complex to process. 

Enter PUBG. A faithful port of the PC battle royale phenomenon, the mobile version of PUBG is known for demanding a lot from the devices it’s played on in terms of processor speeds, GPU (graphics processing unit) performance, and RAM capacity.

According to Ars Technica, the A10 Fusion chip’s built-in GPU delivers “about 56% the performance of the A12”, the chip that’s used in the latest iPhones, but we didn’t experience any latency issues while playing this rather complex game, and we found the graphics ran smoothly, with the iPod touch’s bright and sharp display handling the realistic military-style graphics of PUBG just as well as the colorful, cartoonish graphics of Whale Trail.

Plus, with double the RAM of its predecessor (2GB to be exact), the 7th-gen iPod touch has a lot more memory to run the increasingly complex titles available to mobile gamers.

Apple iPod Touch (7th generation): camera

  • 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera on the front
  • 8MP camera that supports on the back
  • Overall quite disappointing photos

One of the applications that comes built-in on the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) is the Camera app. The camera hardware itself is exactly the same as its predecessor’s: on the front of the iPod touch is a 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera, while the rear sports a more advanced 8MP camera that supports autofocus, auto image stabilization and a f/2.4 aperture.

Modern luxuries like 4K video recording and Portrait Mode are nowhere to be found on the iPod touch, which does feel like a step backwards.

In fact, we found that compared to an old iPhone SE, the camera was disappointing. Photos just aren’t as sharp or detailed, and the hardware hasn’t improved over the previous iPod Touch either.

Is the iPod touch 7 okay to use for FaceTime or taking basic snaps? Sure. Will you win any photography competitions using it? Probably not.

Conclusion

Overall, we were impressed by the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) when it was first released and even a few years later, it’s a solid choice if you want a way to listen to music, play games and use apps without the calling and mobile data capabilities of a phone.  

In terms of design, we like the fact that Apple stuck to the 4-inch display of old, while the inclusion of the 3.5mm jack will be a welcome addition for anyone who still loathes Apple’s Lightning port. Older isn’t always better though, as proven by the dated camera and the lack of Touch or Face ID. 

Playing music on the iPod Touch (7th generation) is seamless, and it generally sounds great, with the new support for FLAC likely to appeal to audiophiles.

Unlike with its predecessors, however, Apple has emphasized the gaming capabilities of the newer iPod Touch over its music playback capabilities – and it handles games superbly. Whether we were playing simple side-scrollers or complex battle royale games, we didn’t experience any latency issues, and the A10 Fusion chip means AR titles work equally well. If you like Apple Arcade, this is a great way to make the most of it – and not to mention the cheapest.

Which brings us to the question of who’s going to buy the 7th-gen iPod touch. Who, after all, would want what is essentially an iPhone that can’t make calls? Well, without the capacity for mobile data, parents don’t have to worry about kids downloading games over a mobile network and gobbling up expensive data plans with a few swipes, and limiting Wi-Fi access is much easier.

Plus, for parents concerned about exposing their kids to the potential hazards of the online world, the iPod touch could represent an attractive middle ground between regular ‘dumb’ phones and a fully connected iPhone. 

With access to social media apps and messaging services like Apple’s iMessage and WhatsApp, you won’t exactly be cut off from the world if you use the new iPod touch as your primary device. Of course, you won’t be contactable away from a Wi-Fi network, but in today’s constantly connected age many are likely to feel that’s no bad thing.

If you’re convinced the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) is for you, then check stock levels first. Now that all of Apple’s iPods are officially discontinued, you might not necessarily get the color or size you want.             

Also consider…

If our Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) review has you considering other options, here are three more MP3 players to look at.

Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T
The Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T has lavish specs and sounds fantastic. Two amplifier stages offer seven distinct options, while no fewer than four DACs are deployed to handle two channels of audio information. As you’d expect, it’s incredibly expensive but if money is no object and you just want the best of the best sound from a portable music player, then look no further.
Read our full Astell & Kern A&ultima SP2000T review

Fiio M11 High-Resolution Audio Player
If you want a high-end audio player that handles music exceptionally well with a more premium experience than the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) but without the eye-watering price tag of our Astell & Kern pick above, check out the M11 from Fiio. It’s a product that skirts the line between a smartphone and an audiophile player.
Read our full Fiio M11 High-Resolution Audio Player review

SanDisk Clip Sport Plus
If you’re looking for a way to listen to music on-the-go or an alternative option for kids, this cheap player from SanDisk is well worth considering. During testing, we found the battery life is impressive at 20 hours. The interface is dated, not as powerful as your smartphone and it’s not touch-sensitive. But it’s easy to navigate and as long as you don’t expect full audiophile-level quality, you’ll find the sound very capable.

iPod touch 7 review: An Android user’s best Apple friend

iPod touch 7

Kid and Android-friendly

iOS for Android users

A dedicated music device

An entertainment device for the kids

A four-inch form factor

AR support

Cellular and Apple Watch connectivity

Gaming quality 

A 12 MP camera

More than 256GB of storage

Apple’s 2019 update to the iPod touch was an unexpected one; it updated a product some of us thought was just about to go the way of the dinosaur. Though rumors had been circling for months, I for one, didn’t put much stock in it because, well … why?

Low and behold though, on May 28 of 2019, just a week after Apple updated the MacBook Pro, it added the iPod touch 7 to the roster. With nothing but a processor bump and larger storage capacity (Our former EIC Rene’s minimalist review is: “Now with A10 and 256GB of storage), the real question becomes, who is this for?

After putting it through its paces, I can definitely say that Apple has made a smart move here, launching an updated, but still basic iPod touch that can serve as a dedicated device for those of us already in the Apple ecosystem and a gateway device for those who want to try out Apple’s services but don’t want to pay the premium for an iPhone or iPad.

iPod touch 7: Price and availability

Apple iPod touch (7th Gen) was released in May of 2019 and was the last iPod released by Apple. You can still buy an iPod touch (7th Gen) renewed on Amazon for $288 or Walmart starting at $199 depending on the color you choose. You also might find one on Best Buy’s site starting at $199 depending on color; pending your location. 

iPod touch 7: A brief history of the iPod touch

(Image credit: Lory Gil)

The iPod touch first launched in 2007, the same year as the first iPhone. Back then, the iPod was Apple’s most popular product and the iPod touch revolutionized the digital music industry (and subsequently put other MP3 players out of business). In October of 2012, the iPod touch received a design overhaul that gave us the overall look that we see today (sans the lanyard hook). That was the fifth-generation iPod touch.

Back in 2012, the iPhone and iPod touch were practically neck-in-neck in terms of specs. The iPhone always won out with a better camera and a more advanced processor chip (by one generation), but you could legitimately make side-by-side comparisons of the iPhone 5 and the fifth-generation iPod touch and it would make sense.

In 2015, when Apple updated the iPod touch again, things had changed significantly for Apple in terms of its iPhone lineup. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were Apple’s flagship devices with Touch ID, a 12MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera, 4K video recording, and a lot of big improvements. The iPod touch didn’t have any biometric login (still doesn’t), didn’t support 4K video (still doesn’t), and had an 8MP rear camera and paltry 1.2MP front-facing camera (still does). You can see how the gap in technology grew over those three short years.

Why get an iPod touch when you can get an iPhone?

More and more, people were asking the question of why would someone want an iPod touch when they can get an iPhone? Even an iPad out performs an iPod touch, and has a much bigger screen.

Fast forward to 2019 and we’re looking at an iPod touch that is essentially the same design as the one from 2012 with nearly all the same specs as the one from 2015 with the only change being that it now has an A10 processor chip, so it supports augmented reality (AR) and you can get it in as much as 256GB storage. So we’re again faced with the question of why would anyone want an iPod touch when they can get an iPhone?

iPod touch 7: What I like

iPod touch (7th gen) (Image credit: Lory Gil)

iPod touch 7: A dedicated music listening device

When it comes to music listening, downloading or streaming, the iPod touch 7 is pretty much exactly the same as its predecessor. You’re not getting a new or better listening experience. The Bluetooth connection is the same. The speakers are the same. If you have never owned an iPod touch, or like me, your last iPod touch is still running iOS 6 and doesn’t even support Apple Music, a new iPod touch is a great investment.

My personal favorite use for the iPod touch is as a dedicated music player. I love loading up playlists and bringing them with me to parties, backyard BBQ, and camping trips. What I don’t love is when my iPhone becomes the jukebox for the evening. It’s especially bothersome when other people want to play songs on my iPhone. I love that they want to play different music. I don’t love that my iPhone is the instrument. What about text messages? What about the various notifications I have set up? With a dedicated music player, I don’t have to worry about any of that.

Most important; I don’t have to worry about running out of battery life on my iPhone, which is much more important after the party is over and I’m trying to get a ride home, or when I’m camping and every ounce of juice is needed for mapping my return trip.

I really like using my iPod Touch 7 as a dedicated music player.

Using the iPod touch as a dedicated music player also means that I can share with my significant other. We have varying tastes in music and preferred services. I use Apple Music, he uses Spotify. I can stream my favorite playlists and albums on Apple Music and it won’t affect his end of year song list in Spotify. He can create his perfect road trip playlist in Spotify and I won’t get recommendations for genres I’m not interested in.

If the iPod touch isn’t being used for anything but music, I can also pair it with whichever speaker I want and never have to unpair it to use a different speaker or headphones. I can set it up in one place in the house (or backyard) and never have to change that setup.

Similarly, I can do the same thing in the car. Download all the music, podcasts, and audiobooks I want while on Wi-Fi, and then drop my iPod touch in the car and I’ve got a world of entertainment at my fingertips. I don’t have to reconnect my iPhone every time I get into the car. The iPod touch is always there. Plus, when I need my iPhone for navigation, I don’t have to worry about it interrupting my listening experience.

iPod touch 7: A tiny movie theater in your pocket

(Image credit: Lory Gil)

Movies, TV shows, documentaries, YouTube videos, you can watch it all on the iPod touch. For being such a small screen, it looks pretty fantastic. No, I’m not suggesting we all throw our 5K monitors in the garbage, but if you’re stuck at a boring seminar, hiding from the family on Thanksgiving, or just want to show your buddy the latest Fail videos, the iPod touch is a nice little media player.

And, again, as a dedicated device, you can download all the movies and TV shows you can fit with the storage you have and go off the grid with it. Bring it to your hotel with a proper HDMI connector and you don’t have to worry about whether the internet is going to work well enough to let you watch movies all night long.

When TV+ comes out later this fall, I would not turn my nose up at watching Apple’s exclusive content on the iPod touch, even with such a small screen. It’s not ideal, but it’s totally doable.

iPod touch 7: An iOS device for the non-Apple people

(Image credit: Lory Gil)

For anyone looking to get into the Apple ecosystem that doesn’t already own an iPhone or iPad, the iPod touch 7 is a great first-timer’s experience. It runs the latest iOS, supports all of Apple’s services, and has all the same connection features that you need (like Bluetooth and AirPlay support).

For anyone looking to get into the Apple ecosystem that doesn’t already own an iPhone or iPad, the iPod touch 7 is a great first-timer’s experience.

It doesn’t have cellular support, so you can’t use your phone number to call people (unless you do have an iPhone, in which case, you can use it to make and receive calls when your iPhone and iPod touch are on the same Wi-Fi network using Continuity). You can, however, use the Messages app with your Apple ID to send and receive iMessages, including using tap backs, screen effects, and bubble effects. For Android users, this is a great way to participate in the phenomenon that is Messages without having to switch.

Using various social apps like Skype or WhatsApp, you can essentially use an iPod touch like a phone for all intents and purposes. You just have to be on a Wi-Fi network to do so. If you’re tired of paying that high monthly cellular + data bill for your phone, maybe it’s time to switch off and just use an iPod touch instead. It would take some working around and you’d be without an internet connection when you’re on the road, but it’s doable . .. if you’re willing to try.

iPod touch 7: Long live the four-inch form factor!

It’s not secret that I’m a fan of the four-inch form factor. I love the iPhone SE. It’s a perfect fit for my hands and my pocket. The iPod touch is the exact same width and height, and is even thinner (nearly half the thickness) as the iPhone SE. So tiny. So cute.

I’ll admit, after two years of the iPhone X and iPhone XS screen size, that four-inch screen does seem pretty small, though. If I’m playing games like Pokémon GO or checking my email on the road, I like the larger screen real estate that the iPhone XS provides.

Which is why I think a four-inch screen is the perfect size for the iPod touch. I want to stream music, podcasts, and audiobooks from it and don’t need a big screen to do that.

iPod touch 7: Performance

I wouldn’t be properly reviewing a device if I didn’t mention the overall performance, including battery life, and system speed.

Everything on the iPod touch 7 works as you’d expect it to. Apps and games load fast. A couple of apps crashed when I launched them, but that happened right after I got it, so it may have been due to the heavy processor use installing all that content on a new device. The battery lasts a decently long time. I didn’t run it for 40 hours straight, but I did run it for about 8 hours straight, listening to music, and the battery percentage only dropped by about a quarter.

iPod touch 7: As a dedicated gaming console

With iPod touch 7, Apple improved the processor chip to the A10, and thus improved the gaming experience significantly. Logically, you would think this means that gaming on the iPod touch is fantastic now. Well… not as fantastic as you’d think. 

It’s better, to be sure. The A10 Fusion chip is much faster than the A8 chip of the iPod touch 6. According to Apple, up to 2x faster performance and up to 3x better graphics.  

I tested the iPod touch 7 with a handful of different games intended to push it to its limits.

Fortnite, the game everyone wants to know whether it works on iPod touch 7, does, indeed work on iPod touch 7. It runs smooth, has no lag, and never drops connection. That being said, it really doesn’t look as good as playing it on the iPhone XS. It’s like there’s a matte filter across the screen. Everything is just a little flatter and stripped down. 

CSR Racing, a game that’s known for its incredibly detailed realism in graphics, plays like its riding on rails on the iPod touch (did you get my Pretty Woman reference there?). How it looks, however, isn’t quite so smooth. It’s not bad or ugly, it’s just not as good as the amazing graphics on the iPhone XS. It’s like we stepped back in time, graphically, to about 2017.

Games like Fortnite and CSR Racing just don’t look as good on my iPod Touch 7 as they do on my iPhone.

Thanks to the new A10 Fusion chip, iPod touch 7 is now capable of doing augmented reality (AR) games. These are the best AR games for iPod touch 7. 

I installed Lego AR Playgrounds to see what the iPod touch could do. Once I was able to scan and find a flat surface (which took way longer than I think it should have), the game was afoot! Though the screen is a little small for AR, the overall device size is much better for AR games. It’s lightweight and easy to move around with one hand. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen anyone trying to play AR games on an iPad, but it’s an awkward experience.

That being said, when Apple Arcade launches, graphics-intense games may not be an issue. There are hundreds and hundreds of beautiful mobile games, like Alto’s Odyssey, Lumino City, Monument Vally (1 and 2), and more that look great on the iPod touch 7 and play great, too.

Even though Apple’s biggest improvement to the iPod touch in 2019 is its processor performance, which is obviously geared toward gaming, the iPod touch fails to impress me as a dedicated gaming device.

What it all comes down to is, the iPod touch 7 is not the new mobile gaming console we’ve all been waiting for.

iPod touch: As a camera

The camera isn’t anything to get excited about. The rear-facing camera performs really well in natural sunlight. Clear, crisp images. In the dark, it’s pretty noisy. The FaceTime camera is … OK. It’s a bit grainy, but not as bad as I thought it would be. You won’t want to blow up your selfies for a billboard ad, but they’re good enough for the social media needs. It’s interesting to go back to a selfie cam that doesn’t smooth out your features at all. My face isn’t as clear as I thought.

iPod touch 7: The competition

iPod (Image credit: Lory Gil)

If you already have the sixth-generation iPod touch, it’s not likely that you’re going to find the processor upgrade to be enough to buy a new one. The point of the faster processor is to play games that the iPod touch 6 can’t handle, but I don’t think they look that good on the iPod touch 7 compared to an iPhone XS, and so don’t think the one major upgrade is worth moving from the sixth-generation to the seventh.

The only other significant change is that the iPod touch 7 storage capacity goes to 256GB, which is pretty darn big if the only thing you’re using it for is media and entertainment. The iPhone XS, however, goes to 512GB, so you can double your storage and save half of it just for movies, music, and games if you wanted and have the better screen and graphics processor.

iPod touch 7: Should you buy it?

(Image credit: Lory Gil)

You should buy this if…

  • You want a dedicated music device
  • You’re an Android user that wants iOS
  • You want a portable mini movie player
  • You want something kid-friendly

You shouldn’t buy this if…

  • You want Face ID/Touch ID
  • You want more than 256GB of storage
  • Cellular connectivity 
  • Apple Watch connectivity
  • 4K video recording
  • A 12 MP camera
  • Portrait Mode
  • Dedicated gaming 

The most obvious reason to get an iPod touch is that it’s is a great starter device for kids. Parents can invest a minimal amount of money to get what is essentially an iPhone without cellular capability (or a tiny iPad, if you prefer). The starting price of an iPod touch is $199, so it’s less burdensome on the pocketbook than any other Apple devices. 

Your kids can load up whatever music they want (that you’ve approved), what ever games they like (that you’ve agreed to), and whatever streaming movie and TV service you’re signed up with (after they’ve finished their homework). Thanks to Screen Time and improved parental controls, you can also lock down this iPod touch and monitor it from your iPhone. More freedom for the little ones, less annoyances for you (“Mom, can I play with your iPhone while we’re out to dinner?”).

Another obvious demographic is Android users. We all want to see if the grass is greener on the other side, and Apple wants to convince Android users to switch. An iPod touch lets Android users have a low-cost gadget that will allow them to play in the Apple playground without having to switch. I own an Android tablet that I bought specifically because it was inexpensive enough for me to feel OK buying, even though I knew it wouldn’t be something I used every day … or even every week.

With Apple’s recent push to sell its services, this is an ideal way to shore up its user base for things like TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade. The latter, I think, is the main reason Apple updated the iPod touch. The 2015 iPod touch specs were perfectly acceptable for streaming Apple Music or reading News+ (though it’s a pretty small screen for those magazines to fit on). The A10 processor chip means it now supports AR apps and games, something Apple has been bullish on for the past few years. Apple is trying to sell its services and wants Android users. The iPod touch can make that possible.

But those aren’t the only people that the iPod touch is for.

People with low or no vision have long been champions of the iPod touch because it’s a low-cost screen reader. Thanks to the robust accessibility features, you can use VoiceOver to read the news, your favorite blog posts, and a lot more. With display accommodations, you can adjust the way things look on the screen, like inverting colors and setting filters for color blindness. The Zoom feature on iOS magnifies things up to 1500 percent, so you can read certain things without having to pinch-to-zoom the whole screen. The magnifier is another incredible feature that, when used in conjunction with display accommodations, provides an advanced magnifying reader that can help with non-digital reading. The iPod touch can do all of this and its much less expensive than buying an iPhone or iPad.

Coders can take advantage of the low price tag on the iPod touch. If you’re looking for a developer device, but can’t afford one of Apple’s more expensive products, $199 starts to look really good. Schools can buy them in bulk and use them as learning tools for students for coding, too.

The iPod touch is worth buying, even if you already own an iPhone.

I’ve heard a lot of people say that the iPod touch is obsolete and isn’t worth buying if you already have a smart phone. I used to think the same way. My most recent iPod touch is from 2010 and I haven’t touched it since about 2012 (until today when I booted it up to see what it’s like). With the iPod touch 7, I can see a whole list of possibilities, all of them based on the idea that this is a dedicated device, meaning you can use it for one thing and one thing only, if you so choose.

Ways to utilize your iPod touch 7: 

  • Download a bunch of games you wouldn’t have put on your iPhone for space-saving reasons. It’s like a mobile game console, although the games won’t look as good as they do on your iPhone. 
  • Stock up on downloaded music. This can be used at backyard barbecues where you can play music all night without worrying about running out of batteries on your iPhone.
  • Leave it in the car. As a dedicated music player plus a device for gaming on the go, this things got it all and you don’t have to keep it with you at all times like you might with your iPhone.
  • Bring it on a jog or to the gym. You can leave your iPhone at home, or at least in your gym bag, and still have the use of your entertainment apps. This is especially nice for people that don’t already own an Apple Watch.
  • Download audio books and podcasts. If you’re headed on a long road trip, this can be your one-stop shop for music, podcasts, and audio books and you don’t have to deal with your navigation apps affecting your experience.
  • Connect it to your speakers at work and pipe in your favorite tunes. Don’t worry about taking it home at night. It’s the work iPod!
  • Want to set up a dedicated iMessage app so you can chat with grandma or the grandkids? You can sign in with a separate Apple ID from what you have on your iPhone and this becomes a special communications device.

I am actually surprised at how much I connected with the iPod touch 7. I went into this thinking it’d be pointless because I already have an iPhone, iPad Pro, iPad mini, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. How could I possible find a use for another Apple device?

Turns out, there are plenty of things I can, and will, use the iPod touch for, specifically as a dedicated music device.

If you have an iPod touch 6, this is probably one to skip. The one major upgrade, the A10 Fusion chip, does make it possible to play games that you can’t play on the iPod touch 6, but they don’t look nearly as good as they do on an iPhone.

If you haven’t had an iPod touch since 2012 (or earlier), this is a solid upgrade you might want to consider. It’ll rekindle your love of the iPod. If you really don’t think there’s a reason for you to buy an iPod touch, you’re probably right. It’s an excess for anyone that already owns an iPhone, but that doesn’t mean you won’t love it, anyway.

If you’re an Android user and have been wondering what it’s like to play in Apple’s playground, you really should get an iPod touch 7. It’s not the same as having an iPhone XS. But you’re not looking for a new iPhone, are you? The iPod touch lets you jump into the Apple ecosystem without having to commit to anything.

iPod touch 7

Worth it for some

Not everyone needs an iPod touch, but at the fraction of the cost of a new iPhone, it’s the perfect gateway into the Apple ecosystem or for use as a dedicated device.

90,000 iPod touch 2019: who needs it now?

Its predecessor, which was born in July 2015, Apple sold until the end of May this year. Not advertising it, not focusing the attention of customers on it – but keeping it alive year after year. Apple is not sentimental, if it stopped paying off it would immediately be sent to the world of shadows (I was sure that it was already there). In any case, at the end of 2019 it would have to be removed from the shelves – almost none of the key innovations of the company would be too tough for him – but May 28, 2019year it was updated.

iPod Touch or iPhone SE? Interesting choice

Its update was both unexpected and not at the same time. Rumors about a new generation of iPod touch, with an LCD screen with Liquid Retina resolution “full face”, with a fashionable hairstyle (with “bangs”), without a home button and with authentication using Face ID, appeared at the end of March. It did not arouse much interest. Moreover, rumors about its return, as well as about the return of the iPhone SE (about the iPhone SE 2, similar to the iPhone X, you probably read something), arose with enviable constancy, but nothing happened. Analysts, without much effort, convincingly and convincingly proved the groundlessness of these rumors. Repeating the same arguments. Touch was almost indifferent to the public. The idea of ​​iPhone SE 2 has a lot more fans, they are waiting for it. They dream about him. This time, rumors about the resurrection of Touch received a due rebuff. And suddenly something happened that could never happen and never. One week before the start of WWDC 2019, in the Apple online store, in the new products section, the iPod touch appeared. People did not believe their eyes. The ghost has returned. Touch did not go anywhere, but few people knew about it. It turned out that he was still alive, just indecently old.

Colors of the new iPod Touch

The ghost of the iPod touch appeared simultaneously in the Apple online store in 27 countries around the world, wherever the full version of this store operates. She worked in Russia until 2014. A little later, the Apple press service issued a press release about the Touch 7, in which Apple services and augmented reality were mentioned almost more often than the main character. But since the Touch does not require a cellular transceiver to be legally sold by the regulatory authorities in every country, its sales began all over the world, in some places even earlier than in the US and the great powers of the world (such as Luxembourg and the Czech Republic). A couple of blocks from my house, I found it two or three days later – they even let me look at it and poke its interface with my own fingers. In a small queue at the counter, no one was interested in them. However, even if he got an OLED display and a fashionable haircut (“bangs”) in the style of the iPhone X, learned to recognize the owner’s face and overtake long-defunct competitors due to the Apple A12 with a reduced processor clock speed, he could call the layman just an attack of mild and non-committal curiosity – “what is this technological news?” And even if all the Apple media, 24 hours a day and week after week, brought down on them the good news about the insanely wonderful new product, nothing would change.

Why you need an iPod Touch

Actually, the Touch had and still has niches in which it is in demand. As a device for debugging iOS applications, in financial institutions, and in other capacities. These niches generate enough revenue to keep the device alive, and even for Apple to upgrade it. Those same analysts claim that the fall in iPhone sales is to blame, and this is the main source of Apple’s income for more than a decade and even now. Despite everything. I will not argue – Apple could well have several reasons for this. Although denied by the media, in wealthy countries, the Touch is considered a good toy for children of the most dangerous age for technical devices. The 6th generation Touch does not support Apple Arcade. As well as many other things. Apple is not going to give up, services are a war to expand the customer base. Services not only should bring the company tens of billions (Tim promised shareholders in 2020 to earn $ 50 billion on them, but judging by the financial reports for the last two quarters of this year, this goal can be achieved as early as 2019), they have an even more important purpose.

You can play Apple Arcade with your iPod Touch

The plan is simple as hell: to create more than attractive services that cost a penny to subscribe to and whose level of quality is almost unattainable for any other companies. Apple has over a billion users. The mutual integration of hardware, their software, and these services is unique. Media publishers, game developers, film and television studios are willing to cooperate with the company (tolerate its arrogant and strict requirements, ready to play by its rules). We, in most cases, are still away from the direction of the main blow, but sooner or later the wave will reach us. Back in 2016, Apple was earning two or three billion a year on services, this year the income from services has already grown significantly – although many of the announced services are just about to earn – it seems that its offensive in this direction is very successful. If these insanely attractive services become the envy of everyone who has not yet connected to the “apple” ecosystem, and they are not available outside of it – guess what will happen to sales of iPhones, iPads, Macs and even iPod touches. If they do everything right and do not screw up anywhere. Touch claims to be the most affordable device capable of working with these services. So he was mobilized.

Technical Details

The 7th Generation Touch is almost exactly the same as the 6th Generation (2015) Touch, which is almost an exact copy of the 5th Generation (2012) Touch. No wonder it was buried even more often than the Mac mini. There are not so many people living in the mobile industry. In the seventh Touch, there are few differences from the sixth, but they radically expand its capabilities. First, it’s the Apple A10 Fusion system-on-a-chip, from 2016. Same as iPhone 7/7+, and iPad 6th and 7th generations. What has been said above about the Apple A10 Fusion in the iPad touch 7G is true, but not all. SoC (System-on-a-Chip, system-on-chip) in Touch 7 is not Fusion at all. Of the SoC’s four cores, only two are used, the “power” Hurricane cores. And Zephyr’s power-saving cores are off. The clock frequency of the “power” cores has been reduced from 2. 34 GHz to 1.63 GHz. The GPU, the 6-core PowerVR GT7600 Plus, which Apple engineers have made major changes to, is fully utilized. For a device with a tiny (by modern standards) screen and minimal needs, this is just an explosive mixture – and yes, it feels very fast. The iPod touch 6G used the same Apple A8 system-on-a-chip as the iPhone 6/6+, with a clock speed reduced to 1.1 GHz.

The second of the few changes is an increase in RAM size (from 1 GB to 2 GB), with iPod touch 7 using more efficient RAM (LPDDR4 instead of LPDDR3). In addition, the seven uses more advanced and more capacious flash memory modules. The seven is offered in three configurations – with 32, 128 and 256 GB of flash memory (the six, until 2017, were offered in configurations with 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB, I omit the history of configuration changes, with your permission). Three configurations of the Touch 7 cost (in the US, excluding taxes and fees) 19$9, $299 and $399, exactly like the first three Touch 6 configurations decades (1136×640, 326 ppi), with IPS, maximum brightness 500 cd/m2, contrast ratio 800:1; the home button without Touch ID – and everything, everything, everything in the same vein – exactly like the Touch 6. The square in the “Home” button – so many things immediately come to mind! Antiques! Connector – Lightning. Analog audio output – yes! Lightning to USB adapter included. As an iOS device of last chance, the Touch 7 will do. Especially if there is WiFi.

Do you need this device? Most likely no. From which the conclusion does not follow that it is completely and absolutely useless to anyone. In 2008-2011, I used the first Touch “for experiences”, to run iOS applications under development on the device, as an email client. In 2010 it was already obsolete, but still coped with its tasks.

We wrote about the 5th generation iPod touch here. This is an article about the music event that took place on September 12, 2012, in which the last section is devoted to the iPod touch 5G.

Pocket WiFi is like a tiny magic Pandora box. Not only you have 24/7 internet connection, but also many devices can connect up at once. Imagine all the money you can save.  Likewise, the portable router can be used in almost any place in the entire world.

You only need to change the SIM card or get one which can be used in several places. Remember, you can buy or rent the Pocket WiFi, the important thing is having a SIM card which works in the zone you are.

Furthermore, if you need internet access when you travel, having a Pocket WiFi (bought or rented) is better than the alternatives. One of them is using expensive data roaming which is really dangerous because your local phone company needs to contract with foreign companies for keeping you connected.

The other alternative is hunting free WiFi spots. You know that is annoying and unsafe. Who wants to spend precious minutes looking for free WiFi meanwhile the Sistine Chapel awaits you? We don’t, for sure!

To sum up, it is necessary you are aware of these important technological devices because they are made to simplify your complicated life. Moreover, because that abundance of tech novelties, you must be informed to make a successful decision and make your money worth.

7 Best Intex Pool Filter Pumps for Cleaner Pool Water

Looking to upgrade your Intex pool pump? Here’s what you need to know about Intex’s line of pool filter pumps.

Intex is one of the leading manufacturers of backyard swimming pools, particularly the affordable above-ground pools that are fun for the whole family.

But you know what’s not so fun?

Constantly trying to balance the water and clean your swimming pool.

One of the best tools in your toolbox for cleaning and maintaining your Intex above-ground swim pool is a pool filter pump.

Here’s a detailed look at the pool filter pumps that Intex makes, the key features of each, and which filter pump is best for you and your swimming pool.

Let’s jump right in.

Intex Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump

Made specifically for above-ground swim pools, and compatible with almost all of Intex’s backyard pools, the Intex Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump is easy to install; plug in the hose and pump and you are in business.

Featuring a double-insulated pump, the Krystal Clear is easy to change (Intex recommends changing the cartridge every two weeks or so), and includes two hoses with clamps (1.25” diameter) and an air release valve for rapid priming.

The Krystal Clear uses Intex’s proprietary One Hydro Aeration to help quickly clean pool water.

There are two versions of the Krystal Clear on the market, the base model that includes the filter pump (for around $25-30) and a model that has a pool chemical dispenser.

Dispensers that work through the pool pump can be more efficient in dissolving chemical tablets, whether we are talking about chlorine tablets or the less common bromine, as the water breaks it down and circulates it immediately into the pool.

Key features:

  • Replaceable cartridge (Type A or C cartridges). Change it every two weeks.
  • Compatible with Easy Set, Metal Frame and round above-ground pools.
  • 25” (32mm) hose opening size
  • Available with an optional pool chemical dispenser
  • One Hydro Aeration technology. Mixes oxygen with air to speed up the oxidation of manganese and iron to keep the water sparkling.
  • 1,000, 1,500 or 2,500 gallons per hour flow rate
  • Includes properly fitted hoses and clamps to make installation simple.

There are three versions of the Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pool Pump, with increasing flow rates and designed for pools starting at 6,00 gallons up to larger above-ground pools of up to 15,200 gallons.

The 637R has a pump flow rate of 1,000 gallons per hour and is designed for pools up to 6,000 gallons. They require a Type A or C replacement cartridge. It retails for around $25-40 and is the base model.

The 635T has a pump flow rate of 1,500 gallons per hour and is designed for swim pools up to 9,400 gallons. They require a Type A or C replacement cartridge. They cost around $120.

The 633T is Intex’s strongest Cartridge Filter Pump, with a pump flow rate of 2,500 gallons per hour, and is designed for pools of up to 15,200 gallons. They use a Type B cartridge and the 633T retails for around $300.

Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above-Ground Pools

Sand filter pumps are an excellent choice for filtering the water for your above-ground pool.

The way they work is simple: water is pumped into the plastic housing and flows through graded sand, which removes impurities like dirt, bugs, and other organic matter. Sand filters are kind of like a litter box for your pool water.

The Krystal Clear sand filter pumps has some of the same features as the cartridge version, including the Hydro Aeration component and is similarly easy to install.

Each pump comes with a 25-foot-long power cord for easy placement, a pressure gauge for use during backwashing the filter, two 1.5” connector hoses, and a strainer basket for pre-filtering, extending the life of the sand.

Additionally, the pump can be set to run with a digital timer that can automatically turn it on each day and run it for pre-set times, from 1-12 hours in duration.

Key features:

  • Digital timer
  • Skimmer basket for pre-filtering
  • 26-120lbs sand capacity
  • Six functions including filter, backwash, rinsing, draining, re-circulation, and close system.
  • Flow rate of up to 3,000 gallons per hour
  • Filters water for pools up to 17,200 gallons
  • 25-foot power cord
  • Two-year manufacturer’s warranty

The Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pumps come in four different sizes, cleaning the water of pools from 2,800 to 19,600 gallons in size.

The 10-inch model, the smallest of the sand filter pumps, has a flow rate of 1,200 gallons per hour, 26lbs of sand capacity, and works for above-ground pools 2,800-8,400 gallons in size. Retails for around $150.

The 12-inch model has a flow rate of 2,100 gallons per hour, 50lbs of sand capacity, and works for pools 2,800-12,800 gallons in size. Available at Amazon for $185.

The 14-inch model has a flow rate of 2,800 gallons per hour, 77lbs of sand capacity, and is suitable for pools 5,500-17,200 gallons in size. Retails for around $260 at Amazon.

The 16-inch sand filter is Intex’s most powerful, with a flow rate of 3,000 gallons per hour, a sand capacity of 120lbs, and works with pools from 5,500 to 19,600 gallons in size. Retails for $300 at Amazon.


Intex Pool Filters – What are the different types?

When it comes to filtering your pool water, there are two kinds of filters on the market. Here’s a quick look at the two of them, including key differences.

Intex sand filters.

Sand filters are kind of like litter boxes for your pool water. The water enters the filter housing and goes down through graded sand, which holds on to the debris, dirt and organic matter in the water.

As the water sinks to the bottom of the filter housing, it is pushed back out into the pool.

Sand filters last quite a while, with the sand being replaced every few years. The water is cleared of matter 20 microns in size and larger. (For comparison, a human hair is 50 microns.)

Sand filters are inexpensive, but they still do require keeping an eye on your pool chemistry as bacteria (at 2 microns, they are sneaky enough to get by the bouncers in the sand filter without paying cover) aren’t captured by them.

Intex cartridge filters.

Comparable to sand in terms of filtration quality, cartridges clean your pool water by pumping water through a cylinder that houses polyester pleats.

These pleats filter the water, collecting debris and unwelcome pool guests as small as 10 microns (which is only slightly larger than a red blood cell).

Cartridge filters are very efficient and low-cost. You don’t need to backwash the filter (backwashing is reversing the flow of the water to clean it of waste and debris) which will save you a lot of water.

Cartridge filters are energy efficient, cut down on water usage, and are quite small. They are also best used with pools that have a variable speed pump as the efficiency gains are highest with those kinds of pumps.

What would you recommend pool filter Intex (Intex)

Many owners of inflatable and prefabricated pools equipped with standard cartridge filter (they are also called a filter pump) for water purification, complain that this unit does not cope with its functions. Cartridges get dirty quickly, the water turns green, sediment appears at the bottom, and cartridges often have to be changed. We are often approached with the same question – to advise which filter to buy with the best price-quality ratio for a pool with a water volume of up to 20 m3.

Let’s start with the terms. The filter filters the water, in order for the water to circulate and pass through it, a pump is needed. The pump + filter set is called a filter unit. We do not use the concept of a filter pump, so you can only call what you are going to change.

  • Sand filter

Our answer is that we recommend using a sand filter (also called a sand filter). Dirt lingers in the thickness of the sand, which does not need to be changed, so there are no consumables in it. In addition, sand filters have a much higher dirt holding capacity. The performance of the filter is selected depending on the volume of the pool. For each filter in our catalog, the volume of the pool for which it is suitable is indicated. For a pool of 20 m3, a filter with a capacity of 4-6 m3/hour is required. These include some filters Espa Aries , Emaux Opus , IML LISBOA , IML MEDITERRANEO , IML ROMA , Hayward Pro Top and Hay ward Pro Side . As you can see, the price for these models can differ by 2-3 times. We are asked – why is one or the other better? The difference is in performance, connection type, configuration, materials, filtration area, filtration speed, mass of sand loaded, cleaning quality and even in design. Manufacturers IML (Spain) and Hayward (USA-France) have long established themselves in the pool equipment market. Their products are distinguished by manufacturability, reliability and high technical characteristics. But this article deals with water purification in the pool up to 20 m3, so the choice remains between Emaux Opus (China) and Espa Aries (Spain). The shape of the filter (barrel) plays an important role. The wider it is, the more water will pass through the sand per unit time. The higher it is, the thicker the filler layer and the better the degree of purification from contaminants. Also pay attention to the required mass of sand for the filter. These characteristics of the Espa filter slightly exceed those of the Emaux filter, but the price of the latter is much lower. Therefore, in terms of price / quality ratio for a pool up to 20m3, we recommend the Emaux Opus v350 filter with a capacity of 4.3 m3 / h or the Emaux Opus FSP-350 filter assembly. But what about “China”? – you ask. As you know, a lot is being done in China today. There is “China” quality, but there are Chinese fakes. Emaux has managed to establish itself well in the market in recent years. Our statistics show that over the past 3 years there have been no returns due to manufacturing defects. Also, sand filters require, in fact, quartz sand. One bag is enough for this model. Is it possible to get a filter with a higher performance? Maybe it won’t get worse.

  • Filter pump

A pump is required to circulate water through the sand filter. The performance of the pump must match the performance of the filter. Cartridge filters can be supplied with pumps that say, for example, 7570 l/h (7.5 m3/h). However, it must be taken into account that this performance is achieved at a pressure of 0 meters, i.e. practically without resistance from the paper filter, and on the sand filter we have chosen, this capacity will not exceed 3 m3 / h and simply will not be able to “push through” water, or it will, but at the same time, performance will significantly decrease. In our online store, for all pumps, the pressure is indicated, at which the declared performance is achieved. It is necessary to select a pump for the pool under the filter according to the operating point. The ideal operating point for a pump is the middle of the hydraulic curve, where the efficiency is highest. For example, the Emaux Opus SS033 pump with a capacity of 5 m3/h at a head of 5 meters will be optimal in terms of price / quality ratio for the filter selected above, which is twice as efficient as the pump supplied with the cartridge filter.

To connect the sounded filter and pump to the collection pool, you need to purchase “transitions” from threaded connections to the “nipple”, the required number of meters of the hose itself and car clamps.

Black Friday PS4 deals: our buying tips

Shop around

Be sure to shop around. Different retailers often offer different sales and exclusive deals on given products. Don’t make your own life harder – play the field and see what’s on offer. This is also vital if you want to buy the console itself, as stock is an issue.

Consider alternatives

When it comes to PS5 vs PS4, the main question you should ask is what games you want to play. If you’re looking for a console with a huge library of excellent games and you’re not fussed about the newest tech, then a PS4 is a great option. And, for the moment, many new games are being released on both the PS4 and PS5, so you aren’t missing out on the biggest titles. However, that will not always be the case, so if keeping up with the latest games is most important to you, you should strongly consider focusing on buying a PS5.

If not Playstation, then what? There is always the Nintendo Switch OLED if you want that edge on quality. Whereas the Xbox Series X just saw a power-saving update added. This could be a welcomed feature with energy prices the way they are now.
