Yup, Ant-Man 2 dropped the number to instead market itself as a double-bill, as Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man is joined by Evangeline Lilly’s Wasp, first teased at the end of the original film. After Ant-Man was unexpectedly missing from the recent crossover blowout Avengers: Infinity War, the new film is a welcome chance for more silly size-based action in the MCU. Blu-ray and DVD release date Ant-Man and the Wasp came out in cinemas in July and August 2018 (depending on which side of the Atlantic you’re on), which means next on the agenda is the home entertainment release....

There’s been a slow drip of rumours and teases about the game ever since the release of Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate in October 2015. We’ve rounded up all the news about the game’s best deals, platforms and gameplay, along with the official launch trailer that can be found above. When is the Assassin’s Creed: Origins release date? Release date: 27 October 2017 While rumours throughout early 2017 suggested that the upcoming Assassin’s Creed title could be delayed into 2018, Activision took to the stage at E3 2017 to announce an earlier release date: 27 October 2017 – the same day as Stranger Things series 2 arrives....

Asus makes it incredibly hard to see which versions are which on its website, and although the phones are live to buy at the time of writing they are annoyingly not labelled ‘Strix’ or ‘Ultimate’. Maybe customers used to looking at laptop specs would be used to decoding a swathe of text, but we found it confusing. There doesn’t look like there’s much difference from the original phone and the Strix edition beyond a drop down to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, from 12GB and 512GB in the original....

The new Asus C213NA adds something else to this potent recipe – a rugged build and modular construction that makes it easy to repair. We take a look at the Chromebook that’s made to take a beating. For more laptops running ChromeOS check out our Best Chromebooks 2017/18 guide. Price So it’s cheaper than a lot of laptops, but bear in mind that the likes of the Acer Spin 1 are priced at just £279....

The ASUS Designo MZ27AQ Ultraslim Monitor speaks to them, the legions of undefined users that write code on Monday, pen letters on Tuesday, play games on Wednesday and watch Netflix all weekend. But is being a Jack of all trades and a master of none, better than being a master of one? Check out our best monitors chart. Price The RRP of the ASUS Designo MZ27AQ is £399 in the UK ($449 in the USA), although finding it for less than that amount can be a challenge....

The latest Asus rig looks to buck that trend by including a high-end Nvidia RTX graphics card and an eight-core AMD Ryzen CPU for £1,400. Well that’s the model we’ve tested although there are other models available we’ll cover in the price section later. Design & Build The G15DH (also known as the GA15) looks unmistakably like a Republic of Gamers product. The front panel is decorated with a huge ROG logo, and it has jutting angles of plastic and a huge slash of RGB LEDs across the centre....

The RT-AC87U has many claims to fame, Asus would be keen to tell you, including that it was the first router to offer a 4×4 antenna capability combined with MU-MIMO technology. What does that all mean? We’ll look at performance later but it indicates that the RT-87U should be fast, and very capable in homes with multiple wireless devices connected. However, those devices will need MU-MIMO enabled Wi-Fi radios inside to take advantage of the feature....

The ZenWatch 2 is made from a durable stainless steel case, and, like many other smartwatches, is now available in two sizes – 1.63in and 1.45in. The all-new ZenWatch 2 is also available in more colours than its predecessor, and fans can choose from either Silver, Gunmetal or Rose Gold....

AVG’s download procedure can also be quite confusing and if you’re not careful you can end up with a trial of the full program, rather than the free version. The new AVG Free includes AVG’s Zen application, which can show you the status of all your devices running the software and handle installation of the software on them. AVG Free is available for PC, Mac and Android, so this management app can be a useful tool....

On the surface, Avira Antivirus Pro offers a lot for just £29.99/$34.99 per year for 5 devices, but it quickly becomes apparent that the word ‘Pro’ is not all it seems. There is a ‘Prime’ version of Avira Antivirus that includes all of the features described within the app itself as ‘Pro’, despite the ‘Pro’ name on the box, which is both confusing and frustrating. The first thing you notice is the approach to installation....

An official Phantom 3 battery costs £124 (US$149), but Banggood’s compatible battery is less than £50. Ok, so only 4p less than £50: you can buy it from Banggood’s site for £49.96 plus shipping from its China warehouse. It’s not currently available from the EU warehouse, which would avoid any import duty and handling fees. Still, it’s a big saving compared to buying an official battery from DJI or one of its partners....

Just like smart thermostats, there’s another race to replace dumb electrics in your home: smart lightbulbs. Belkin is the latest manufacturer on the scene, following Philips and LIFX with their colourful bulbs. The Wemo LED set, however, doesn’t let you choose which colour you want your lighting. Instead it’s meant as a direct replacement for existing 60W incandescent bulbs, or the energy saving fluorescent equivalent. The kit includes two bulbs: you can choose between bayonet or Edison Screw varieties....

You’ll want to install some extra apps in order to watch things such as UK catch-up TV and – because this isn’t an Android tablet – YouTube. If the tablet is for a child, here’s how to enable parental controls on a Fire tablet. There are also plenty of great games you can install including: Candy Crush Saga, Roblox, Real Racing 3, Minecraft and more.

There are a couple of classic repeats you may want to catch on 17 December, then the fresh festive cooking kicks off on 19 December and continues into the new year. Nigella Nigella fans will be distraught to hear that there is no new Nigella Christmas special this year. However, those who can’t handle a Christmas minus Nigella (ie all of us) can stream a repeat of her Cook, Eat, Repeat Christmas Special on iPlayer....

Best free word processor LibreOffice Kingsoft Office Suite Free Google Docs You might not need a whole office suite, just a word processor. In case you didn’t know, Windows has one built-in: it’s called WordPad. It lacks many of Word’s features but may be all you need. If you must have Word, then here are a few ways to use Word for free. Now that Microsoft has made a concerted effort to switch everyone to a subscription model for Office 365, it’s even more tempting to opt for a free alternative....

Not only can you once again buy a new Polaroid camera, but Fujifilm’s Instax has become a global phenomenon, and other companies like Kodak have gotten in on the action too.
