Then the directions can be quickly and easily sent to your mobile device. Here, we’ll take you through the simple steps that it takes to get everything up and running. As these are Google services you’ll need to be using its Chrome browser for the features to work, and in this example we’ll be syncing to an Android phone, but it also works with an iPhone or iPad. Step 1: On your PC go to www....

Your laptop is probably second only to your phone with regard to the personal data you have stored on it. Read what to do if your handset suffers the same fate here. While its understandable that this would cause a lot of distress, all might not be lost. Both Microsoft and Apple have implemented features in their operating systems which mean you might be reunited with your laptop sooner than you could have expected....

In its simplest form the Inateck is a three-port USB 3.0 hub that you can plug into a PC or Mac and gain a couple of extra USB ports. But the HB4009 also has a ‘Magic port’, which allows you to transfer files between Windows, OS X and Android at USB 2.0 speed, share clipboards between PCs, and with KVM support even share a mouse between computers. How to transfer files between PC and Mac; How to transfer files between Windows and OS X Plug the USB hub into a spare USB hub on a Windows PC....

The benefit of transferring files via Google Music is that they will be available on any device on which you are signed into your Google account. They are also stored on the cloud (up to 50,000 songs), which means a large music collection won’t gobble up storage on your Android. However, this does mean you need an active internet connection. Alternatively, you can transfer files to a single Android device’s local storage....

You may have also done this, or got a Pixel or Nexus that you’ve just downloaded the update to. Some things have changed from Nougat, though it’s more of a subtle update to proceedings than we’ve come to expect from Google. Apps now come adorned with notification dots. If you’ve got a notification but haven’t attended to it yet, a small dot will appear on the app icon whether they’re on your homescreen or in the app tray:...

According to the World Health Organization, around one billion people worldwide live with a visual impairment that could’ve been prevented or is yet to be addressed. For those who are blind or partially sighted, that makes using a computer in the traditional sense almost impossible. Fortunately, plenty of companies are designing software with these people in mind. Microsoft recommends several screen readers on its website, with JAWS and NVDA among the most popular....

No matter how good Wi-Fi gets, in terms of range and throughput, you can’t beat good old-fashioned copper wire. It’s reliable and fast. So, you’re probably reading this because you’re trying to do a DIY Ethernet cable installation, terminating the cables using RJ45 wall sockets. See all networking reviews The tricky part comes because there are two wiring standards, T568A and T568B, and your Ethernet connector probably has wiring diagrams for both (or possibly none)....

Don’t forget Microsoft’s Surface range, although because they run Windows we test them like laptops. We test tablets under the following core categories: Flagship tablets Budget tablets Android tablets Kids tablets Natural testing As with any gadget we get in for review at Tech Advisor, we will use a tablet as much as possible while we have it. We don’t just rely on a set of benchmarks, although we do run them (see below)....

But Mac users are an increasingly loud minority, boasting excellent reliability and easy sharing of data from an iPhone or iPad. With that in mind, here are some key areas of macOS Catalina that we’d like to see come to Windows 10. Automatic dark mode Apple introduced dark mode on macOS High Sierra in 2018, before adding the option for it to automatically turn on and off in Catalina a year later....

On the other hand, those who order the HTC Vive right now will get it slightly sooner, with orders shipping in June 2016. With that being said, the HTC Vive is the pricier of the two coming in at £689 compared to the £499 Oculus Rift, but we feel like the high price tag of the Vive is justified with its offering – it offers room scale tracking, bespoke controllers and more, but we’ll go into more detail about that below....

Huawei Nova Plus review: Pricing and availability So before we go any further, let’s first discuss UK pricing and availability of Huawei’s latest smartphone. The Huawei Nova, along with the Nova Plus are both marketed as being mid-range smartphones, meaning they’re not designed to compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S7 or iPhone 7 – and the price reflects that. UK users will be able to pick up a Huawei Nova Plus for 429 Euros when it’s released in Europe – we’re yet to hear about UK pricing, but we’ll update this section as soon as we do....

If Huawei’s aim was to make the biggest smartphone possible then it appears to have smashed that target out of the park. This thing is only marginally smaller than tablets like the Nexus 7 but costs a lot more. Huawei P8 max review: Price Like the regular P8, it comes in standard and premium versions priced at 549 and 649 Euros respectively. The standard version comes with 32 GB of storage and is available in Titanium grey or Mystic champagne....

It’s more expensive than its little brother, the £15.99 Inateck BP1001B, but the BP2001 offers a vast improvement for an extra £13. Not only is this slightly less portable but just as sturdy Bluetooth speaker much better looking – an elongated dock that combines stylish matt, meshed and admittedly fingerprint-prone glossy black ABS plastic with a chrome effect trim – but it sounds better, too. A dock at the top of the speaker lets you perch your tablet on top....

Intel’s 730 Series is a high-performance consumer SSD, aimed at professionals. In contrast to some recent Intel SSDs that use SandForce controllers (with Intel’s custom firmware), Intel has repurposed one if its own designs, the Intel PC29AS21CA0 controller – first developed for enterprise-class flash drives such as the Intel DC S3700. Also see: What’s the best SSD The company also specifies its own NAND flash, here 20nm MLC, and is sufficiently confident of its endurance to offer a five-year warranty....

iPad Air 2 vs iPad Air: Price and availability As per usual, Apple has brought the latest iPad in at the same price point as before. That means the device starts at £399 for the cheapest model. Meanwhile, it’s the original iPad Air which remains on sale at a lower price of £319. You can buy older full-size iPads from Apple but only via the refurbished store. There are three capacities of the iPad Air 2 available to choose from and the option of 4G cellular data if you need it....

After months of rumours, Apple used its WWDC 2017 conference in June to show off new iPad Pro models, including the all-new 10.5 version we’re looking at here. It’s one of four iPad options available, sitting alongside the updated 12.9in iPad Pro and its less powerful and smaller siblings: the iPad mini 4 and the iPad. When the iPad Pro 12.9 was first introduced in 2015 it represented Apple’s first step towards an iPad that could replace your laptop....

As is traditional with an ‘s’ model of iPhone, the new generation looks essentially the same but has a few upgrades here and there. For this reason, we’ve split this article up into two sections to explain what is different and what it the same – rather than going through the different aspects one at a time. The iPhone 6S launched alongside the iPhone 6S Plus, iPad mini 4, iPad Pro and new Apple TV as part of a bumper Apple announcement this week....
