The technician's picks

The SSD I install most: reliable, fast, transforms a 2015-2019 PC.

For recent PCs with an M.2 slot: 5-6× faster than a SATA SSD.

Copy #2 of your 3-2-1 backup strategy — plug in, sync, sleep well.

Ultra-fast pocket backup — perfect for Time Machine on Mac.

The reliable stick for carrying and troubleshooting — I always have three on me.

Gives your old PC's SSD a second life as a fast external drive.

8 GB is no longer enough in 2026 — going to 16 GB is the best value upgrade there is.

PC overheating and shutting down? Often dried thermal paste. The workshop standard.

My go-to mesh kit for 60-120 m²: covers the whole house, managed from a simple app.

For big houses, chalets and thick walls: WiFi 6 across 3 units, up to ~350 m².

When WiFi won't get through, the network rides your power sockets. Magic in old houses.

Internet where fibre doesn't climb: mountain chalets, renovated barns, remote-work backup.

No more overpriced cartridges: refillable tanks with years of ink included.

For occasional printing: a mono laser never dries out, unlike inkjet.

The webcam that fixes 90% of "I look terrible on video calls" — sharp image, decent mic.

The simple, sturdy wireless combo I recommend to families and seniors.

A second screen changes remote-work life — and your neck will thank you.

Recent laptops have no ports left — this one brings back HDMI, USB and SD in one go.

Two dust-outs a year add years to a laptop's life. The most profitable habit there is.

Mountain storms kill motherboards every summer. €30 protecting €800 of hardware.

Micro power-cuts at the end of the line? The UPS absorbs them — your PC (and router) never hard-crashes again.

Raises the screen and lets air flow: less overheating, less neck pain.
