Acer Connect Enduro M3 5G Mobile Wi-Fi, reviewed

If you live or work somewhere with coverage blackspots then the use case for this device makes complete sense. Luckily our testers take their jobs seriously and are often dipping into out of reach areas, at least that is what they tell us when we are trying to contact them. This device definitely addresses this problem and it is small, compact and tough, all of which make it something that you would happily add to your tech gear when heading out into low coverage areas. Maybe it comes with the territory of spending time on the islands, and byways of West Cork and Kerry, but this device makes complete sense and is not yet competing in a market flooded with similar products either. There could definitely be some advantages from being an early mover in this space as it builds up fans and advocates for it’s values too.

The battery life is pretty good, you would be fine for a day out, and, if used sparingly, and only put on when you need it, then it should work well for an overnight or even several nights out in the wilds too. The display screen is a little tricky, especially for those of us with fingers on the slightly larger size, you might want to subcontract out some of those jobs to a more nimble fingered partner. For sea kayaking, or in your offroad vehicle the weight seemed fairly inconsequential, for hiking it might be more of a consideration. At the same time this is something that could save your life too, so those extra 250gms could still be well worth having with you. It does heat up, but again if you have it powered down until you need it then this issue can be mitigated easily. Our testers liked it, and the 20gbs of data that come preloaded ensure that you have something to work with in a dire emergency situation which would be the optimal time to use this, rather than posting social media updates with it.

A nice piece of gear and our testers were happy to recommend it for others to use.
