MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (13-inch, mid-2018) Review
The 2018 MacBook Pro 13-inch is super fast and the keyboard is improved, but the battery life could be better. The 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is not a laptop for the masses, by dint of its price but also its power. But if you’re a creative pro or power user who demands […]
Microsoft Surface Book 2 (15-inch) Review
Microsoft Surface Book 2 in a nutshell, really. It’s a powerful laptop that can turn its hand to pretty much anything you care to think of. Most of the time you’ll be using it as a regular notebook, but you can also detach the screen and use it as a large tablet, you can reverse-dock […]
Chuwi Heroboo Review
Good Quite affordable Decent battery life Spare M.2 SSD slot Bad No Full HD screen Keyboard is a major let-down Only 802.11n Wi-Fi One USB port is 2.0 If you’re on a tight budget, or you’re looking for a cheap “throw-away” laptop you can pop into a bag when you’re travelling, Chuwi’s HeroBook could be […]
Nintendo Labo VR
Perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Nintendo’s new foray into virtual reality involves holding a cardboard elephant to your face. Nintendo is not one for the technological arms race that has defined video game VR so far, with its expensive headsets and controllers. No, an ebullient toymaker at heart, Nintendo prefer a wind-pedal […]
Samsung Q90 QLED TV Review
A QLED that does things only an OLED previously could, the Q90R is an exceptional telly. Samsung has clearly taken these criticisms to heart, and directly addressed them in the Q90. The new model has a visibly superior viewing angle that holds its own against an OLED TV, and the local dimming delivers deep blacks […]
Samsung Galaxy Buds Review
Good Comfortable, secure fit Stylish design Easy to pair and use Powerful bass Bad Ambient sound can be irritating Touch controls not always accurate It feels as though Samsung has finally got it right with the Galaxy Buds, and they represent serious competition for the Apple AirPods in terms of design, sound, and ease of […]
Lenovo Miix 510 Review
There are a couple of reasons (battery, screen) why you’d go for the Surface Pro 4 instead, but the Miix 510 offers an awful lot for the price. If you’re on the market for a workhorse convertible that covers the basics then the Miix 510 isn’t a bad choice, but it’s far from the complete […]
Moto G7 Plus Review
Good Extremely fast charging Still has a headphone jack Good value for money Bad Battery drains with intensive use LCD screen not as colorful Motorola has not altered its strategy much with the new Moto G7 range. The software is clean, the hardware tasteful and the prices cover a broad range of budgets. Compared to […]
Microsoft Surface Studio Review
Good Seamlessly transitions between modes The best and biggest digital drawing board Impeccable build quality Bad All rearward ports Pricey proposition for most The ‘cheapest’ unit comes outfitted with a 6th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M GPU and 1TB of storage. Meanwhile, if you want to max […]
Samsung NU7100 Review
Good Low price Crisp 4K picture HDR10+ Bad Basic HDR Edge-lit No Bixby Our bedroom TV broke and was looking for a replacement budget 4K TV. The Samsung NU7100 treads the line between its budget credentials and 4K HDR specs impressively, offering a sharp and smooth picture that leverages its basic HDR capabilities to great […]
Acer Swift 7
Good Excellent design Built-in LTE option Decent battery life Bad Touchpad doesn’t click Awfully weak performance for price Poor webcam placement Lacking audio The Acer Swift 7 is an ultra-compact notebook that is well suited for mobile use. The Swift 7 slightly improves on its predecessor in all areas; the greatest difference is the larger […]
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K review
If you’re going to buy a dedicated video streamer, you want it to do everything – and until now the only one that did that was the Apple TV 4K. But for just £50, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K has all the apps you need, supports all current HDR formats and throws in Dolby […]
Sony Xperia 10 Review
The 10 Plus, along with the smaller 10, are the first two phones that will attempt to sell you on a 21:9 screen – Sony may want you to think the flagship Xperia 1 is the true ambassador of the crazy-tall aspect, but that one is months away and the 10s are here now. It’s […]
