Samsung was stingy on details about the talks, with a company official telling the Times that “this will be effective, though we can’t unveil more details for the time being.” Samsung officials also revealed that the company planned to more closely partner with Microsoft to reduce its dependence on Google’s Android operating system for mobile devices. The phone maker pulled the wraps off a number of new devices Wednesday that use Microsoft’s upcoming Windows Phone 8 and Windows RT operating systems....

The rather generic black-plastic casing used to house the P504 is sturdy enough, but it’s chunky and heavy, measuring a full 45 mm thick. We also weighed it at 3.5 kg, rather than the 3.3 kg quoted on Schenker’s website. That’s big and heavy, even for a 15-inch laptop with a built-in DVD drive. The keyboard feels firm and comfortable, but its slightly cramped layout includes a half-height US-style Enter key and puts the Fn key over on the right of the space-bar – both of which took some getting used to....

Design & build quality The XA1 has an appealingly neat, simple look. Viewed front-on it’s quite a blocky design, with comparatively square corners, but this is offset by a very slight curvature on the left and righthand edges of the screen. There’s a refreshing lack of gumpf on the back, too: just a single camera lens and accompanying flash top left (these are arranged vertically, which seems to be the vogue this year) and a couple of discreet logos....

The first thing to notice about SoundPeats QY7 is they are wireless and can easily be connected to your device via Bluetooth, as you would do with any Bluetooth speaker. We really appreciate this feature. Wireless technology makes SoundPeats QY7 perfect for listening to audio while exercising. Classic headphones would bind you to your phone, meaning that your movements would be restricted, whereas SoundPeats QY7 let you move around at will....

We’re not ranking the brands as they all deserve mentions for different reasons. Apple Even if you’re not an iPhone user or fan, there’s no denying the success and influence Apple has had on the smartphone market over the last 10 years. The firm has released 21 models if we count the ‘Plus’ and ‘Max’ sizes. Not all of them have been mind blowing pieces of craftsmanship (and we don’t mean that in a solely design sense) but even those have sold incredibly well thanks to Apple’s desirability and loyal following....

This makes them excellent second computers, ones that you can hand to your children or take to places where a £1000 ultrabook might be too tempting a target for thieves. A stunt laptop if you will. This mindset is bolstered by the small form factors that most models adopt, often sporting an 11.6in screen and tablet-level internal components. Toshiba’s first foray into Chromebook territory sees it opt for a more capacious 13....

The new range of routers may be a world away from the no-frills offerings of a year or two ago, but unfortunately, they’re not quite as cheap as they used to be either. The VR900 is no more affordable than other 802.11ac wireless DSL routers. That’s understandable, since TP-Link has squeezed in a lot of hardware. It’s the company’s first VDSL router, which has 3×3 MIMO 802.11ac support as well as twin USB ports, one of which is on the side....

Why? Look at the way the kids use Google, and then look to the future. Increasingly, users expect to be able to communicate and transact across a variety of devices. And younger users – the very people who use laptops, smartphones and public internet terminals – have less concept of the various operating systems and operating environments they use. Put bluntly: they don’t care, they just want to get online, all the time....
