About

This channel will contain a selection of videos on topics that interest me which are mainly computing (new and old), electronics and radio related. Between 2011 and 2012 I used to make technology reviews on: http://www.youtube.com/ReviewThisOrg

Video Description

In this video we'll be taking a look at a new USB KVM console that is being developed by a group named TechxArtisan which promises to be a low cost, feature packed way to use a laptop as a monitor, keyboard and mouse for accessing servers and other computers. This product is currently still in development but they were kind enough to send over an early version to try out and gain feedback on!
