I bought the most MINIMALIST Tech ever.

An impressive 17-inch folding screen that is buggy, underpowered and only for pro money; 5/10.

Pretty with a great picture, but the easel design has no real benefit and it is overpriced; scored 6/10.

A beautiful table that quietly purifies air and wirelessly charges, earning a strong 9/10.

Light and appealing in theory, but too limited to replace a smartphone, and he scored it 4/10.

A pretty, well-built handheld with a quirky crank, but not for him as he wants more buttons and power.

An invisible speaker that sounds merely okay and had buggy setup; only worth it if it must be hidden.

Absurdly expensive and overengineered, but wonderfully smooth and satisfying; scored 9.1 out of 10.

A lovely kettle with silky pouring, but slow and very expensive; he gave it 7/10.

Outstanding coffee from a simple, satisfying machine, held back only by washing up and needing a grinder; 9/10.

Far exceeded expectations, cooking a much better risotto than Dhrisha; an easy 9/10 for its recipes.

A pan you eat from sounds clever, but it is too hot to handle and only suits one person cooking for one.

Quiet and neatly foldable, but build quality and the auto speed mode are shaky; fine for light use, 7/10.

Technically impressive but pointless and fiddly, and he gave it 0/10.

Has more appeal than the Playdate for most people, though he still prefers a Switch.

An elegant, simple diffuser that works better than a plain candle, and he scored it 9/10.

Clever ideas and comfy straps, but flimsy mechanisms and doubtful long-term durability; scored 5/10.

Surprisingly big sound for its size, but harsh and not worth $1,000 for pure audio quality.

Cool and does one thing well, but laggy, only 1080p and overpriced at $1,200 for a niche audience.
