Also known as the Aspire V 15 Nitro Black Edition, this is an entertainment-focused notebook with a decent graphics processor from nVidia for playing Windows games, along with better than typical internal speakers. You could view the VN7-591G as a desktop replacement for home users. At 2.1 kg and around 24 mm thick, it’s still reasonably portable, although we found its poor battery life recommends it more to a life tied to a mains adaptor....
With Microsoft offering Windows to tablets makers for free is the device is small, it’s no surprise that we’ve seen a raft of new products which match this description at IFA 2014. Here’s our hands-on review of the Acer Iconia Tab 8W from Berlin, Germany. See also the best tablets of 2014. Acer Iconia Tab 8W hands-on review: Release date and price Acer Iconia Tab 8W hands-on review: Design There’s little to say about design as the Tab 8W is a pretty standard tablet in this area....
A 15.6-inch screen makes this feel like a desktop-replacer, not just a portable laptop. Long battery life and sub-2cm thickness make the Spin 5 moderately portable, though. It’s a solid all-rounder. However, it’s not the most compelling option at the price. A dim, undersaturated screen is only just good enough and the Spin 5 is not one of the best-looking metal laptops around. Acer Spin 5: Price Our version of the Acer Spin 5 costs £799....
The Tacto is solidly built for such an affordable device, with a sturdy case and good, firm screen panel. It’s a little heavy for a laptop with an 11.6-inch screen, weighing almost 1.5 kg and measuring 25 mm thick, but that’s light enough to carry around without too much trouble. The purple model that we tested might not be to everyone’s taste, but the Tacto is also available in a more sedate silvery-grey....
La novedad más destacada es la nueva tecnología de procesamiento de audio espacial, que está diseñada para mejorar el sonido estéreo y crear una experiencia de audio más envolvente. Imita un sistema estéreo de alta fidelidad, de modo que las voces están más presentes en el centro y los instrumentos están más definidos en los laterales. Esto debería permitirte escuchar música más clara y más rica en colores. Para las películas y las series de televisión, se conseguirá una experiencia más cinematográfica....
How much does the new Fire HD 10 cost? The HD 10 costs £149.99. That’s £50 cheaper than last year’s 32GB model, despite notable hardware upgrades (see below). So what’s new in the 2017 Fire HD 10? The screen has been upgraded to a full HD resolution, which means 1920 x 1080 pixels instead of 1280×800. It makes a big difference, with a much sharper look. Alexa is now available on all current Fire tablets, but you have to tap the screen before you can talk....
The widely expected move makes sense when you consider that the company already manufactures the chips that power its iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and more, so has experience designing and producing silicon. “Integrating hardware and software is fundamental to everything we do,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook, explaining the move. “[And] silicon is at the heart of our hardware.” During the company’s WWDC keynote Apple emphasised the power efficiency of the new processors, promising chipsets that would “lead the industry in features and performance per watt....
iPad Pro review: Price and availability As well as being the biggest, this is also the most expensive iPad ever. It starts at £679 ($799) for the 32GB model, and jumps to £799 ($949) for the 128GB model. There’s nothing in between, so if you think 32GB isn’t going to be enough, tough luck. There’s also a cellular model which comes only in 128GB guise that costs £899 ($1079) – the customary £100 premium on top of the equivalent Wi-Fi only model....
At £675, Arbico’s Family i3 4185 desktop PC looks like a reasonably-priced option, offering a significant saving over many of the family PCs we’ve reviewed of late. Also see: What’s the best family PC? The Arbico Family i3 4185 features a modest 3.4GHz Core i3-4130 dual-core processor, teamed up with 8 GB of memory, a 120 GB SSD and 1TB hard disk. It’s not the fastest PC you can buy, but it’s all you need in a computer intended for family use....
What you notice straight away with the 50c Oxygen is just how light and thin the device is. This reviewer has been using a Sony Xperia Z1 recently and on the surface the two smartphones are pretty similar looking – however, the 140g and 145 x 69.8 x 7.64mm 50c specs of Oxygen make the Sony feel like a bit of a brick in comparison.See also: Sony Xperia Z2 review....
We’ve spent some time taking tours of Ancient Egypt in Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed, and here’s a little preview of what to expect. Release date and pricing Discovery Tour is available to all Assassin’s Creed Origins owners across PS4, Xbox One and PC from today (20 February 2018). It will be free of charge. But what about if you don’t have Assassin’s Creed: Origins and want to get in on the educational action?...
In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts on Wednesday, Brewster, Mass.-based Astrolabe said it was dismissing all of its claims against Arthur Olson and Paul Eggert, the two people named in the lawsuit. The company also issued a statement in which it apologized to Olson and Eggert and promised not to sue them over the same issue in the future. Olson, an IT specialist at the National Cancer Institute, and Eggert, a computer professor at the University of California in Los Angeles, are voluntary custodians of the time zone database....

Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA price At the moment, you can pick up the Chromebook Flip C302CA from John Lewis for £499.95.

There was another pricey derivative design, the RT-AC3100, and externally the DSL-AC88U looks almost identical to that router. Inside however, there are some significant improvements. The most critical enhancement is that this design incorporates an ADSL modem, allowing it to be a drop-in replacement for anyone using ADSL2, VDSL2, VDSL or the new vPlus and G.fast connections. As it also has a WAN Ethernet port, it is also ideal for those who are considering a switch from DSL to cable or vice versa, as the DSL-AC88U can do either with equal aplomb....
What’s more, the 7530 AX has an integrated modem (which most routers we review don’t) and this means it will work with both old-school ADSL and more modern VDSL services, like the majority of packages available via BT’s Openreach network. Indeed, Zen Internet customers may recognise this device, as it’s an upgrade of the FRITZ!Box 7530 which comes bundled with some Zen broadband plans. If your service provider uses a different kind of technology – if you’re a Virgin Media customer for example – then the Fritz!...
That means it must reproduce far more of the colours that we can readily perceive, colours which are lost to most screened devices. It claims to cover 100 percent of the CMYK space used in traditional four-colour printing and 99 percent of the Adobe RGB colour space. See also: best displays of 2014.

Peak Free There aren’t many games which work really well on the Watch’s small screen but Peak is an exception. It’s a simple, but fiendishly addictive little brain training game. In one of the three games on the Watch you’re shown a shape and then a subsequent shape. All you have to do is tap the tick or cross to say if it’s the same as the previous one or not....
When is Black Friday? In 2023, Black Friday falls on Friday, 24 November. But the discounts will start to appear earlier. This means that it can be difficult to know when to pull the trigger. We’d advice you to decide a budget and a wish list and find out what kind of discounts were available last year. The amounts will probably be similar this time around. We’d expect to see discounts of $100-$150/£100-£150 on one or two key cordless vacuum cleaner models and heaters/ fans....
The 10th-generation tablet ditches the Home button for a full-screen tablet experience that allows the display to jump from 10.2in to 10.9in without any change to physical dimensions, and sports the same angular edges and Touch ID-enabled Power button found on the iPad Air and mini. Throw in additional upgrades like the jump to USB-C, a new landscape-oriented front camera and support for a modular Magic Keyboard that lets you detach the keyboard from the stand, and you’ve got a contender for the best value iPad in the range....
