How does my wishlist work? #
If you enjoy what I make and want to convince a Linux user that trickle-down economics works, you can find some of the things on my wishlist below.
You don’t have to buy anything — reading, sharing, commenting, or simply following along is already appreciated. It also helps me build a career out of this. But if you fancy treating the workshop to something useful, this is where you can find the things I’m currently hoping to get my hands on.
One thing worth knowing: items may be kept, resold, passed on, or used as part of a giveaway after I’ve finished testing or reviewing them. That’s how I help keep the whole operation going without filling the workshop with stuff I no longer need.
Got something you’d like me to try? #
If you’re a manufacturer, retailer, maker, or just someone with an interesting bit of kit you’d like to see put through its paces, get in touch.
I’m always interested in useful, interesting, or slightly ridiculous technology and equipment. Products supplied for review will be treated in the same way as anything else I test: I’ll give my honest opinion rather than promising a favourable review.
If the item isn’t something I need to keep afterwards, it may be resold, passed on, or given away so that it can continue to be useful — and help keep Robin’s Lab running.
So please don’t send anything you want returned unless you’ve explicitly arranged this with me beforehand and included suitable return postage.
What am I looking for at the moment? #
- Old Lenovo hardware
- Low-power server hardware
- Makita tools
Please ask before you send anything #
I might already have what you’re sending, have something similar waiting for review, or already be in the process of testing it.
Please get in touch first. It saves everyone time and means I can make sure the thing you’re thinking of sending is actually useful for an upcoming project or review.
