Anker Solix S2000 trims idle drain with compact 2kWh design

Anker’s Solix S2000 is a compact 2kWh portable power station that claims ultra-low idle power draw (~6W) thanks to OptiSave and a smaller 1500W inverter, delivering higher energy density (≈106 Wh/L) in a 16.2 kg unit. It provides front and rear AC outlets, USB-C (100W) and USB-A, and a 400W solar input, can peak at 3000W, and can power common devices (fridge, coffee maker) for extended outages. Early preorder pricing starts around $579–$599 with higher pricing after June 1st.

TCL PlayCube: a Rubik’s Cube-inspired pocket projector for on-the-go cinema

An $800, 1080p portable projector with a Rubik’s Cube-inspired 90-degree rotating design, the TCL PlayCube delivers bright image quality for its size and three hours of battery life in bright mode, plus Google TV and flexible mounting for vanlife; it can double as a Bluetooth speaker and recharges via USB-C, but the built-in audio is only decent, standby power drain and occasional UI sluggishness temper the experience, making it a solid but not perfect option versus rivals like the XGIMI Halo+.
