The partnership between flatpack furniture giant Ikea and Wi-Fi speaker masters Sonos has been fruitful, if a little strange, and nothing typifies that more than the Symfonisk lamp speaker: a hybrid product that’s simultaneously a no-brainer and a total oddity. I was a big fan of the original lamp speaker, but it clearly had some flaws. That’s why I’m pleased to see that the two companies have gone back to give it another go, and while this second-gen isn’t perfect, it’s by far the Symfonisk speaker that will suit the most people....

Shrinking margins on NAND memory and new high-density technologies have made these devices an inexpensive upgrade for those with conventional drives. However, the big brands keep launching new SATA products to mine the very last of this previously rich seam. Price The typical street price for the 2.5in UV500 in 480GB is around £75 in the UK and $95 in the US, making it marginally more expensive than Kingston’s A440 and UV400 series drives....

We see plenty of colour printers retailing for under £100, and a good many costing some £400 or £500. However, we haven’t seen many recent models hitting the £250-£300 bracket. That, conveniently, is where this rather fine colour laser machine the CS410dn from Lexmark snuggly nestles. (See also: Best printers of 2014.) Lexmark used to be big in inkjets. Having pulled out of that market, they’re now concentrating much of their fire on lasers instead, and the CS410dn is a very proficient example of its kind....

We’ve spent some time using the Logitech G Pro headset, and here’s our full review. Logitech G Pro: Pricing and availability The sub-£100 price tag of the gaming headset makes it very attractive, especially when you consider that some of the best gaming headsets can cost upwards of £200/$200.

Este puede haber sido el principal motivo por el que la compañía ha anunciado que cierra el negocio de teléfonos móviles en todo el mundo para centrarse en otros sectores de crecimiento, como es el de componentes de vehículos eléctricos, el IoT, así como las soluciones profesionales B2B.

While many would regard the Hyper-Threading feature of the Intel Core i7 pure overkill for a gaming PC, this is exactly what Mesh has chosen. In this case it’s the 3.5 GHz Core i7-4770K, overclocked to a speedy 4.3 GHz, then chilled by a Corsair H60 liquid cooler. When running general home computing applications, this processor enables the Mesh system to storm ahead of the field, achieving over 5000 points in the PCMark 8 Home test, and all but obliterating the competition in the PCMark 8 Creative test, where those extra processing threads give it a distinct advantage....

The Samsung Micro-LED range announced for 2021 at CES consists of 110-, 99- and 88in sizes....

We’ve previously tested the Olixar Light Beats Bluetooth Speaker Bulb, and were impressed with its ability to blast out music from our ceiling (a great position for directing audio to all corners of the room without obstruction) – but that smart bulb is a one-trick pony.
