It’s a great time buy some new headphones. Here, we bring you top tips and the best deals we’ve seen on headphones so that you get the best sound this year. We’ve found the biggest discounts on Sony, Beats, Bose and more We’d recommend looking for a good deal on more expensive headphones, rather than buying a pair that’s cheap all year round. Not only is the build quality likely to be quite poor on headphones with an RRP of £30 or less, but they’ll also offer a bad audio experience that we’re sure you’ll want to avoid....

The compact Surface Go line began life in 2018, pitched as an affordable alternative to the Surface Pro among Microsoft 2-in-1s. Two successors have launched at the time of writing, the latest of these being 2021’s Surface Go 3 . That device includes a 10.5in touchscreen, dual cameras and optional Intel Core i3 processor, although entry-level models drop down to a more basic Intel Pentium Gold chip. But combining the Go 3 with a detachable keyboard cover (a necessary purchase for most people) means it can no longer be considered a true budget device ....

There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to buying a new TV. Shopping for an upgrade is not just a question of size and price, but also different display technologies and design. Helpfully, Samsung has most options covered. If you’re after a 4K telly, they start from 43in and stretch to 85in. If you really want to push the boat out, you can buy a 292in. Micro LED The Wall, which appropriately would probably look best on a boat....

According to Kantar data, sales of flour were up 92% year on year, in the four weeks leading to 22 March. While flour mills are working seven days a week to try to meet demand, at the moment there is only enough available for 15% of UK households to buy a bag of flour each week . What that means for most of us is that the baking section of our local supermarket is utterly bare....

Times have changed. When I was a kid, if I’d been a good girl and wanted Santa to know I’d like a monkey in my stocking (logistics are never an issue at that age), I’d write him a letter with lots of kisses, pretty drawings (scribbles) and promises of good behaviour. My mum would take it, pretend to post it, and then stick it in a folder for safekeeping until I was old enough to be mortified....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Chillblast Apollo’s approach is a little different to that of the big manufacturers. Elements like the trackpad and speakers are undernourished — you get the real basics and little more. Battery life is poor too. However, the screen is so much better than that of the direct rivals from Dell and Acer that it may well be one of the best choices around if what you want is a gaming laptop rather than one that will also double as a (not that) portable computer....

If you’re considering buying a new laptop, you may have noticed that there are three main types available. These are those which run Windows 10, Apple MacBooks and a third option called Chromebooks, which run Google’s Chrome operating system. Chromebooks can be a lot cheaper and over the last few years have grown in popularity for home, office and classroom use. So, what is a Chromebook? And should you buy one instead of a Windows PC?...

If you’re shopping for VPN deals you’ve probably decided you can’t get away with using a free one. And you’d be right: the limited choice of servers, which are always overloaded doesn’t equate to a good service. Plus, most free VPNs don’t unblock Netflix or other streaming services. The alternative is to pay for a subscription, and there are some great Cyber Monday deals around. But there is a way to avoid subscriptions: get a lifetime deal....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Dell C2665dnf multifunction printer shows significant improvements over its predecessor with the addition of Document Hub access and NFC compatibility and is only let down by lacklustre photo quality. Best Prices Today: Dell C2665dnf It was just over a year ago that we looked at Dell’s previous multifunction colour laser printer workhorse – the C3765dnf – and now comes the succeeding C2665dnf with some surprising new features....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Dell’s machine is one of the best-looking business laptops around, and it has a great hybrid design, a superb screen and excellent battery life. However, it can’t compete when it comes to connectivity and keyboard quality and it falls behind rivals on performance, too. Best Prices Today: Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 The Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 is one of the best-looking business laptops around, with a stylish metal design and a smart hybrid mechanism – but that’s not enough to earn plaudits in the competitive world of office machines....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Dino PC Raging Lizard V2 doesn’t so much crash through the competition as tiptoe past it. But that’s no bad thing, and for those who don’t need the many bells and whistles of more expensive systems, this offers a very tidy array of (generally) well-picked components. We really would recommend jettisoning that keyboard and mouse though.

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Very comfortable typing experience Hugely customisable Great software Takes pressure off of hands, wrists and shoulders Cons Expensive Sharp inclined positions are not comfortable Takes time to relearn typing positions Our Verdict The Dygma Raise is an impressive achievement both in terms of design and usability. Yes, it’s a serious investment, but if you use it everyday for the next few years I’m sure it will feel like it’s paid for itself when your hands aren’t screaming at you....

Dyson’s Corrale hair straightener is now available in two new colours: matt fuchsia and copper. They’ll cost the same as the original Corrale at £399.99. As with other Dyson products, the company has opted for a subtle, understated palette. Just joking, obviously. The new colour options are bold to the point of radioactivity. When Dyson launched the Corrale last year, it aimed – as it does whenever it enters a new product arena – to offer a fresh engineering solution to a common problem....

Dyson has announced the launch of the latest in its line of vacuum cleaners – the Dyson V11 – alongside a new air purifying desk fan and a smart LED lamp. The V11 – the originally named follow-up to last year’s V10 – is a relatively straightforward step change from the previous model that mostly adds a small LCD screen and a new ‘smart’ brush head that can tell whether it’s on carpet or hard floors....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The high up-front cost of the ET-3750 might deter many people, and it won’t be suitable for home users with only modest printing needs. But, if you’re working from home or in a small office and you need to produce colour and text documents on a daily basis, then the terrifically low running costs of the ET-3750 will save you a lot of money in the long run....
