Chief among these is the new G7, a refresh of the company’s popular mid-range gaming laptop. Coming in a choice of 15 or 17in models, the most noticeable design change is a significant slimming of the bezels. From 9.9mm on the previous model, the smaller variant has a border of just 6.5mm, while the larger version is also down to 8.16mm. This should make for a more immersive gaming experience, complemented by 3D audio courtesy of gaming specialists Nahimic....

The partial-aluminium casing and Retina-style screen of the Dell XPS 15 prompts inevitable comparison with Apple’s MacBook Pro, and its weight and 18 mm thickness are also virtually identical to those of the Apple original. However, the XPS 15 has some ideas of its own and outguns the MacBook Pro in a number of respects. The laptop makes a good impression even before you turn it on. The aluminium casing is both light and sturdy, and provides good support for the 15....

The mid-credit scene ties in this latest instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with next month’s Endgame, as Captain Marvel comes to the aid of the few Avengers who were not turned to dust under Thanos’ victory. The post-credit scene is a comedy act showing Goose the Flerken throwing up the Tesseract it swallowed earlier in the film. Captain Marvel landed in UK cinemas on 8 April, and you can buy tickets now via Cineworld, Odeon and Vue....

Also see: Best Black Friday Speaker Deals Dolcer Bluetooth speaker review: Build quality & design Within the speakers packaging you’ll find a Micro-USB cable, an auxiliary 3.5mm interconnect cable and a manual. The speaker has an elegant full-metallic body construction, which is finished with a brushed grey aluminium design giving it a weight of 399g – a slightly heavy speaker to comfortably carry around, but given its small form factor of 74x111x53mm the Dolcer can be considered portable....

Es una forma sencilla de acceder a sitios web y servicios bloqueados geográficamente sin interrumpir o cambiar la forma en que navega por el resto de la web. Solo recuerda que, aunque las extensiones VPN en los navegadores son útiles porque son más rápidas y fáciles de encender y apagar que algunos programas VPN, no son tan seguras como una VPN que protege la actividad de Internet en todo el equipo....

Make sure you take a look at our guide on how to secure your Facebook account. Several posts back in 2016 provided misinformation about alternative ways to vote or posting incorrect dates altogether, this level of voting manipulation is something Facebook is actively fighting against – promising to ban content that spreads deliberate misinformation. Users will be able to flag these posts through new tools that will be deployed, allowing third-party fact-checkers to inspect them....

But is this a simple reskin of Far Cry 5, or something more? We’ve fought our way through the campaign and here’s our full Far Cry New Dawn review. Far Cry New Dawn release date and availability The standard game costs a decently-priced £39.99/$39.99, while those that want additional weapons and skins can fork out £47.99/$49.99 for the digital-only Deluxe Edition on the PlayStation Store. Far Cry New Dawn review Though it’s set in the same world as Far Cry 5, the open world of Far Cry New Dawn doesn’t feel like a simple reskin....

For today only, get the Huawei P30 for just £421.11, slashing 40% off the RRP. If you’d prefer the P30 Pro, it’s now available for £649.99, a staggering saving of £250. That’s the cheapest we’ve seen either phone, and excellent value considering they were released as recently as March. Check out the offers on both Huawei P30 phones here. Huawei’s P30 and P30 Pro are among our favourite phones from this year, with the latter sitting comfortably in the top 10 of our best phones chart....

The image above, which has since been taken down, seems to have been posted in error. It appeared alongside wording advertising the Nest WiFi router in the website’s homepage carousel. In line with leaks, the phone has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, a large camera cutout but with just one lens, a top left camera cut out on the front and a blue power button. The date on the display of the phone is 12 May, a date which hints that the phone should have been announced at May’s Google I/O conference before it was cancelled....

At the same time, the company announced Pixel Buds, the companion wireless headphones that can do real-time language translation. Yes, really – they’re akin to the babel fish from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The Pixel Buds can do this very well, but everything else about them is badly thought out. The design is ugly, but worse than that, the headset hurts to wear for more than 10 minutes....

The Honor Band line has managed to muscle into the competitive fitness-tracker market with an enticing value-for-money proposition, taking on the likes of Xiaomi’s Mi Band trackers, among many other notable rivals. The Honor Band 5 Sport proved to be a surprisingly versatile tracker when we reviewed it, despite retaining a relatively barebones feature set. With the Band 6, Honor has enhanced functionality across the board and given the design a complete overhaul....

Hoover is still out there, and the H-Free is a decent cordless vacuum that may not be packed with innovation, but does a solid job of offering a Dyson-style experience at a much more budget-friendly price. Hoover H-Free: Price & availability The H-Free is out now in the UK (though not the US, we’re afraid) and costs just £139.99 for the regular version (reviewed here), with the H-Free Pet available for a little more at £149....

We take a look at how this works for customers who have a plan with EE. What is roaming? Roaming, in this context anyway, is when you use your phone outside the country in which you live, but still on your normal mobile provider’s network, i.e. O2, Vodafone, Three, EE, or their international partners. Traditionally, this could be very expensive, so frequent travellers might invest in a spare handset specifically for those regions and local providers....

When people ask about how ‘safe’ or how ‘secure’ Bitcoin is, a few different meanings can come to mind. What is Bitcoin? Can Bitcoin be stolen? As with almost every other asset, it is possible for Bitcoin to be stolen. However, if you are diligent and store your coins properly, you can make them incredibly secure – far more secure than the average set of credit card details, for example....

Create and restore a backup We should all be routinely backing up our data to prevent a sudden hard disk crash from causing disaster. But, if you haven’t yet adopted this approach then you should take a look at our How to backup Windows 10 guide which shows how to use the software already built-in to Windows 10. With this method you can create copies of your files and folders, all of which can then be restored to the new machine via the File History feature outlined in the article linked above....

Offline maps have been available from Google for a few years, but it’s only recently that you were able to quickly and easily download multiple maps straight to your phone – both on iPhone and Android, and get driving directions while offline. You won’t be able to search for restaurants or shops while offline, but you can use maps to navigate to an address or postcode. You can’t select cycling or walking directions, only driving and – obviously – you won’t get traffic information or be able to change the route like you normally can....

Naturally, Audacity also lets you edit existing MP3, WAV, AIFF and Ogg Vorbis files: you can cut sections, amplify, remove noise and apply effects, such as fade-ins and fade-outs. That makes it ideal for editing podcasts (it even supports auto-duck) and if you have the right hardware, it can even record multiple channels at once. Here we’ll show you how to get to grips with Audacity, including downloading extra codecs so you can save your edited audio files in MP3 format....

Despite it not being explained in the tutorial to the online game mode, there are two ways to fast travel in Red Dead Online. Here’s how. Not got your copy of RDR2 yet? We’ve got the best Red Dead Redemption 2 deals right here. Stagecoach While trains aren’t present in Red Dead Online, you can still use stagecoaches to quickly travel around the huge map.

It’s not always easy to upgrade a laptop, so what do you do when its graphics fail? Here we explain how to fix a laptop’s graphics. A reader wrote in to Helproom to ask the following question: “I have an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, which is around five years old. It’s running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and has a 64-bit quad-core 2.3GHz processor with 8GB of RAM. “Unfortunately, my graphics card is playing up....
