HP Spectre 13 review: Price The exact model we’re reviewing here is the 13-v001na. It’s an impressive spec too, with an Intel Core i7 CPU and 512GB SSD. The storage in particular doesn’t come cheap, even if you buy the components yourself....

HP is one of the manufacturers looking to take advantage of this increased appetite for content, with its refreshed 14in and 15in x360 laptop well optimised for entertainment. The company’s new convertibles are sporting only minor upgrades over their predecessors, but all will have benefits for watching media or gaming. The big one is a move to Intel’s 11th-gen ‘Tiger Lake’ processors – both models have a choice of Core i3, i5 and i7 chips, while entry-level 14in configurations also offer Pentium chips....

This happens when there isn’t enough information in the original image to prevent the image breaking up into its component parts of visible, square pixels. There are two main reasons why you might want to enlarge a digital image by a large amount: to create a poster out of a photo, or to take a detail out of an image to blow up into a picture of its own. InPixio Photo Maximizer uses a sophisticated algorithm to guestimate the contents of these pixels and break them down to look more like a regular image....

The Core i9-7900X is the first processor available in the new range, but there are more coming: this 10-core, 20-thread chip is merely the entry level model. The range-topping i9-7980XE has 18 cores and 36 threads – a monster that will cost a frightening US$2000 when it launches later in the year. Few consumers are going to be spending the best part of £2000 on just a CPU when you can buy a perfectly good gaming PC for less than this....

But long before that happened, Toshiba Memory Corporation invented NAND Flash memory in the early 1980s, the memory technology at the heart of the Kioxia product I’m reviewing today. In the chronicles of Gen 4 NVMe storage, Kioxia hasn’t exactly rushed to deliver its first products to market.
