The new range, which comprises the RX 580, 570, 560 and the entry-level 550 has come about thanks to improvements in manufacturing which have allowed AMD to get more speed from Polaris and also lower power consumption.

The optimal resolution, unless you can afford the best GPU and CPU combination is Quad HD or 1440p (2560 x 1440), and high refresh rates would complete that dream specification.

Such a high resolution display has a mild hit on battery life compared with the 1080p version, and its Core M CPU isn’t suited to really taxing tasks. But in most respects this is one of the very best affordable Ultrabooks. Asus ZenBook UX305CA review: Price The ZenBook UX305CA is a mass market laptop. It’s not out to court people who are going to spend hours poring over benchmark results, and worrying about whether it’ll run their favourite game....

While most of the tech we recommend for travel will be eyed with suspicion by airport security the Bellroy Travel Wallet will delight airline check-in, staff, customs, your fellow travellers and you. The aptly named Travel Wallet has all the usual sections and slots you’d expect of a modern-day wallet, and more besides. The first thing you notice is the leather wallet’s length. It’s 15cm long (9.4cm wide) when folded, which makes it big enough to hold not only your passport but those long boarding passes, tickets and customs cards without folding or creasing....

However, for many people, an EV will make sense. Most journeys are short and well within the round-trip range of an electric car, and there are incentives for manufacturers to install a high-power charging socket in your home.

If you need something simplistic, then AIMP is a good shout for a free media player....

Lock focus and exposure When you’re taking a photo, you’re probably aware that tapping the screen sets the focus and exposure for the object the lens is trained on.

It uses the original M1 chip, which remains one of the most powerful chips in any laptop two years later. Almost everything we said about the device in our 9/10 review remains true in 2022.

That new model also means there are some useful discounts on its predecessor – via third-party retailers, rather than Apple itself....

The current structure for roaming charges was implemented within the EU in 2015. It states that customers can’t be charged more when travelling within the EU and also requires mobile network operators to notify its customers when they’re approaching the limit of their data allowance.

Highlights in the specification include a 14.1in full-HD IPS display and solid battery life that should get you through the most part of a working day. It’s not a laptop built for ultimate performance, but you’d be hard-pushed to find more for your money.
