We love laptops and PCs but not when they slow down to the point where you want to throw them out the window. All technology slows and and gets clogged up over time, it’s inevitable but clever software in the form of PC cleaners can quickly fix problems, free up space and get your machine zipping along in no time. You might not even be running low on storage space, but it can be difficult to figure out why your machine feels like it’s running through a muddy bog....

Projectors fall into three broad categories: home cinema, business and portable. We’re looking at the former category here: projectors that you can use instead of a TV for sports, movies, streaming Netflix or even watching the news. We’ll be adding new projectors regularly, so you’ll always find the best models to buy. The great thing about a projector is that you can have an image that’s much bigger than any TV, but the downside is that image quality – notably black levels and contrast – isn’t as good as the best TVs....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict BioShock Infinite: Burial At Sea – Episode 2 gets a bit carried away with itself in terms of narrative, but the new stealth options are a beautiful addition. This is incredibly ambitious as far as DLC goes, and while it might not quite reach the heights of the original game it certainly ends the series as we know it on a relatively high note....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict You aren’t going to be using the Brother for massive quantities of printing. Neither is it overladen with features. But for the occasional text print job, it’ll prove a very willing accomplice. You’re getting a very reliable model for an extremely low price point, and that makes it a highly commendable no-frills choice. Best Prices Today: Brother HL-1110 review That’s doubly so given that the latter is actually a rather smart little device....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The MG5550 isn’t perhaps the best featured or best designed MFD we’ve seen. However, once you strip away the rarely-used fastest mode, the Pixma offers excellent speed and quality. As performance goes, this is the #1 sub-£100 model on the market. As such, it’s perilously close to a gold award. Best Prices Today: Canon Pixma MG5550 This MG5550 MFD offers print, scan and copy facilities, and follows very much in Canon’s stylish Pixma range, with its curved edges and low 148mm design cutting an attractive figure....

Could 2013 be the year in which you’ll finally be able to buy an OLED TV? Well, if you have at least £10,000 to spend, chances are you’re in luck. LG was the only manufacturer at CES with a serious line-up of OLED TVs, with no fewer than three 55in models. Crucially, they all had part numbers and pre-orders are already being taken for one model – the 55EM9700 – in South Korea....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Hugo has several usability issues which many sound-first users may be willing to work through, although we feel it could be a more universally loved product if addressed. For computer audiophiles especially, but also used alongside traditional non-PC digital sources, the sound quality is quite literally a revelation. While erring towards the light and bright side of neutrality and perhaps not even to every ear or system’s taste, the Hugo covers the full musical range majestically with a performance even more colourful than its multicoloured LED lightshow....

LoveFilm was a DVD-by-mail subscription service that rented out physical discs of movies and TV boxsets – sent to and from the user by pre-paid post. Now its loyal users have received their last LoveFilm disc and the ability to work through their rental wish list, so it’s time to find an alternative to LoveFilm’s service. Relax, we think we’ve found it! LoveFilm users might find some great original shows to stream on Netflix and Prime but they’ll be sorely disappointed by both the quantity and quality of the movie choices on each....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Affordable Excellent build quality Powerful sound quality Spacious SXFI mode Cons No iPhone support Software could be better Weak magnets Our Verdict If you want excellent sounding USB-C headphones with the option of personalised audio, then the Creative SXFI Trio are a solid choice – unless you have an iPhone. Best Prices Today: Creative SXFI Trio Personalised audio is slowly becoming more normal and while it might not be as advanced as Nura, Creative has its own Super X-Fi technology, as found in the SXFI Trio USB-C headphones....

Just like phones, phone accessories also get annual updates. And DJI’s Osmo Mobile gimbal is no exception. The Chinese company has launched a new phone stabiliser, the Osmo Mobile 6, with a new Quick Launch feature that’s said to make it three times quicker to get up and running. It’s interesting that DJI has returned to Osmo Mobile rather than the OM abbreviation it has favoured for the past couple of years....

Although personal drones are becoming more popular, it’s hardly as if the sky is filled with a swarm of them. However, a lone drone flown close to your property can be a source of frustration / anxiety / outright anger (delete as appropriate). But what does the law say about drones, filming and photography? Here we explain what’s allowed and what’s not. Drone filming law: The Dronecode We’ve already outlined in a separate article exactly where someone is allowed to fly their personal drone ....

Dune: Part Two had a triumphant run through the world’s cinemas, but you don’t have to buy a ticket to see Denis Villeneuve’s latest work. The film is now available in VOD platforms in the US and UK, and will soon be coming to streaming services. The production is officially a box office smash, making a global total of over $700 million. This means it has now overtaken Wonka to become Timothée Chalamet’s highest-grossing film worldwide....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Cordless & corded use Three heat settings High-quality build Cons Price Weight and size Short battery life Our Verdict The Dyson Corrale is beautifully made, effective and can be used corded or cordless. But it costs twice as much as competing products and the results it gives aren’t jaw-droppingly different. Best Prices Today: Dyson Corrale The problem with straightening or curling your hair regularly is the potential damage caused by exposure to hot plates....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Good battery life Waterproof Microphone for phone calls Cons No aptX or AAC codecs Our Verdict A fantastic all-round Bluetooth speaker that’s simply excellent value. Best Prices Today: EarFun Uboom Often, it’s the unknown brands that produce an unexpectedly good-value product. EarFun is certainly unknown to most people, yet its affordable Bluetooth speaker punches well above its weight. It sounds good, feels well put together and is fully waterproof to boot....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At £899.95 without the monitor, the Eclipse SuperNova i566n970OC is one of the less expensive Skylake gaming PCs. Its performance lags a little in benchmarks, but it’s also more expandable than compact systems such as Chillblast’s and has a larger SSD. Best Prices Today: Eclipse SuperNova i566n970OC The rugged, industrial styling of the Eclipse SuperNova i566n970OC ensures that there’s no mistaking it for anything other than a gaming PC ....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict We love the Emie Power Note. It’s a little expensive compared to some rival power banks, but its unique design goes a long way to make up for that. It offers fast charging and a handy built-in Micro-USB cable, too, meaning you can leave the cable clutter at home. Best Prices Today: Emie Power Note 5200mAh We’ve seen many, many power banks come into the PC Advisor lab and, with a few exceptions, all are boring slabs with very little to differentiate between them....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Low cost per page Cheap within EcoTank range Excellent print quality Sublimation possibilities Cons Flimsy build Won’t print A4 borderless One year warranty Our Verdict The relatively low cost of this ink tank printer is reflected in its flimsy Construction, but it prints very well, and the cost per page is meagre. It also has potential for those wanting to explore sublimation printing on a tight budget....
