You probably have Google Maps installed on your smartphone or tablet but did you know you can use it as a fully-fledged sat nav? Here’s how to use Google Navigation. As you’re probably aware, Google Maps is free and if you own an Android smartphone or tablet, the app is highly likely to be already installed. It’s also available for iOS, too, but understandably doesn’t come pre-installed. Sorry Windows Phone users, you’ll have to stick with alternatives....

Those upgrading from Windows 7 should feel quite at home as not a great deal has changed in the way everything works. The Start menu is bit different, Cortana is likely bugging you to try her out and there are a few new apps which effectively replace old one (but those are – on the whole – still there if you look for them). We think Windows 10 is better than any previous version of Windows in virtually every way, and you shouldn’t worry about privacy: you can tailor exactly what information is fed back to Microsoft, and we’ll explain how to do it....

When does the Battlefield V reveal begin? After teasing the event last week, EA confirmed that the Battlefield V reveal will take place today, 23 May 2018, at 4pm ET – 9pm BST for those of us tuning in from the UK. The good news is that the entire reveal is being livestreamed online, with The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah hosting the Battlefield showcase. With hours to go and already over 6,000 people watching the stream, it’s set to be an exciting day for EA, DICE and Battlefield fans around the world....

Whilst the first film is the most well-known, there are three films in the Bridget Jones series. These are Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones’s Baby. All of them are perfect movies to settle down with over a glass of wine and copious amounts of chocolates this Valentine’s Day. If you want to go on a Bridget binge, then you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up all the places to watch the films – whether its streaming, renting or buying....

What time does Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner start? The bought will take at roughly 9 PM place on Saturday 19 January at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you’re watching from the UK, you’ll be 8 hours ahead of this time, so you’ll have to get up early for the 5 AM start time on Sunday 20 January. How can I watch Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner? If you’re in the UK the match will be broadcast live on ITV4 for free because of the partnership between ITV, Haymon Sports and Premier Boxing Champions....

2022 has been a time of major change for the royal family, with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Charles will no doubt be paying tribute to his mother, and reflecting on everything that has happened this year. He may also be looking towards the future. Here’s how and when you can tune in, even if you’re not in the UK. When is the King’s Christmas Speech this year? The King’s Speech will be broadcast at 3pm GMT on Christmas Day (25 December 2022), and it will last roughly ten minutes....

The competition was paused for six weeks to accommodate the winter World Cup in Qatar, but its return coincides with a full schedule of festive fixtures. However, things aren’t quite as hectic as we’d usually see around Christmas and New Year. But with 19 live matches in the UK between 26 December and 5 January, there’s plenty to look forward to. Here’s everything you need to know about watching the Premier League live, including if you’re based elsewhere....

There’s a dearth of accessible apps, particularly on Windows, and those you can download and use tend to either be unintuitive or just too limited in what they do. While there are better options at the premium end, they’re not just expensive but difficult to learn and slow to use. What’s more, some of the free, easy tools used by budding YouTubers and video sharers are disappearing fast. Microsoft has discontinued the venerable Windows Movie Maker, while Google has done the same with YouTube Video Editor (read The Ultimate Guide to YouTube Video Editor Alternatives)....

It’s pretty, portable, has a great aluminium shell and fantastic battery life. The only problem is getting your CTO to agree to buy the HP EliteBook X360 1030 G2, as it doesn’t come cheap. Price-wise it’s similar to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon. That laptop is a sold alternative, although the HP has a touchscreen, hybrid form and a smart stylus. HP EliteBook x360: Price Like other premium business laptops, the HP EliteBook X360 1030 G2 is rather expensive....

The HP Omen is a 15in gaming portable among company like Alienware, a lifestyle games machine with performance to match. It includes an Nvidia GTX 860 with 4 GB memory – not cutting-edge but plenty fast for recent games. Its processor is the heavy-hitting 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7-4710HQ, while storage is solid-state and PCIe-attached just like the best. What really sets the HP Omen 15 apart is its unique shape....

Just about every all-in-one PC hides the internal components from the owner, and cannot be easily upgraded after purchase. The Z1 is uniquely different in this respect. The unit can be folded over on its hinge, pushed down and opened via two latches at the bottom. The screen then lifts away from the rest of the unit, exposing the innards (see below).

Huawei Ascend P7: Price and release date For starters, the price of the Ascend P7 is very reasonable for a flagship smartphone. Huawei has undercut rivals with a recommended retail price of €449, we expect it to sell for £399 SIM-free in the UK but we’ll let you know once we have a figure in sterling. The device will launch this month according to Huawei while Orange said that the Ascend P7 will hit stores on 7 June....

It seems like a strange comparison – a phone and a tablet – but not really. The iPhone 6 Plus is massive for a smartphone, and the iPad mini 3 is tiny for a tablet, so do you really need both and, if not, which is best? We compare the specs in our iPhone 6 Plus vs iPad mini 3 comparison. Also see our in-depth iPhone 6 Plus review and full iPad mini 3 review....

The tweet, embedded below, shows two console units identical to the previous design leaks. Units are seeded to developers early so they can test the new hardware for upcoming games releases. The units are pretty big compared to the svelte PS4 design, so it could be that this current design is a prototype for developing the hardware and software – the official PS5 release might well be completely different. But it is a bold look and one that has clearly had some thought put into it, especially when it comes to thermals with the V shape based around ventilation and, we presume, fans....

There are two ways this ‘wireless’ edition differs from the original KEF X300A – it comes solely in a white vinyl finish, rather than black only. And it adds a Wi-Fi network adaptor internally to let it connect to 802.11g wireless networks. Peripheral to that, there’s also the reliable standby of an ethernet port available, the preferred way to pipe media files reliably. (See all audio reviews.) With either network connection, Apple devices such as a MacBook, iPhone or iPad can be easily paired for playing music....

Before we get into the pros and cons of laptops or tablets, the most important question needs to be asked: How will you use the device? If you only want to watch Netflix, use social media, check email, do some online shopping, a spot of casual gaming, and occasionally write a letter or spreadsheet, then a tablet is the way to go. They’re easy to use, tend to have good battery life and can be popped into a bag or satchel without giving you shoulder ache....

Normally we struggle to recommend a laptop as low-power as the Lenovo IdeaPad 320S. However, we’ve finally reached the point where Windows 10 and a low-end Pentium processor can get along. It’s time to celebrate. The Lenovo IdeaPad 320S is a great match for someone with a low budget and no truly CPU-crunching tasks to do. Don’t come expecting a great screen, though, as it’s glaringly worse than that of a laptop from the next tier....

Don’t start thinking this is some boring business machine, though. It may not have acres of aluminium or a rainbow-backlit keyboard but the 2017 ThinkPad X1 Carbon does have a great typing feel, excellent battery life and a seriously light and portable frame. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon: Price The base version of the X1 costs £ 1379 direct from Lenovo. That gets you an Intel Core i5 CPU, 256GB SSD and a 1080p screen....
