At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Bright Evo panel performance Powerful Alpha 9 Gen 5 processor Multiple flavours of VRR Comprehensive streaming apps Cons Some image presets disappoint No HDR10+ Expensive at larger sizes Our Verdict The LG C2 is a premium 4K performer that boasts class-leading brightness, has a cutting edge Alpha 9 Gen 5 processor, and style to spare. If you’re a movie fan or gamer, this set has you covered...

At a Glance Our Verdict The battery isn’t removable and it no longer supports Friends (oh no). In every other respect the LG G6 is a big and bold upgrade over the LG G5, and we’d say it’s by far the better phone. However, we’ll know more when we’ve had it into our Test Centre for proper testing. Best Prices Today: LG G6 Yesterday LG unveiled its G6 2017 flagship, but what’s the difference between LG G5 and LG G6?...

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Best Prices Today: LG V50 ThinQ 5G The V50 ThinQ 5G is LG’s first – and so far only – 5G phone, but that’s not all it’s got going for it. It’s also the phone that introduced the company’s Dual Screen accessory, which is essentially a novel attempt to deliver a foldable phone without, well, making a foldable phone. It’s an odd combination of novel features that hide the fact that under the surface the V50 is really a capable but slightly dull flagship phone that probably costs too much – essentially par for the course for LG these days....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Efficient Great for Lightwave users Cons Fiddly set up App is unnecessarily complicated Our Verdict There are enough flaws and fiddly bits that it’s hard to give it an unequivocal recommendation – not least thanks to the cost of fitting out your whole home, or even a few rooms, with the valves. Still, get past the minor annoyances and this absolutely does the job – and if you’re already in the Lightwave ecosystem, it makes sense to stick with it....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Think carefully before buying the Linksys XAC1900. It’s a great performer, and the software is really good, but it lacks VDSL support yet still costs more than other routers. Best Prices Today: Linksys XAC1900 This modem is, however, ADSL2+ only, so it won’t support faster fibre connections. This is a shame because the XAC1900 is otherwise a strong offering. It supports 600Mbit/s speeds over 802....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you game on PC and don’t mind using a wire, the Logitech G Pro X is almost a no-brainer: tremendous sound, comfort, and design for an attractive price, paired with Blue microphone software that’ll have you sounding better than you ever have before. Best Prices Today: Logitech G Pro X As streaming becomes a bigger and bigger part of the gaming ecosystem, it’s no real surprise that peripheral manufacturers continue to push to own the space – especially with their flagship devices....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Lumsing’s 70W Extended Socket & USB Car Charger is a simple solution to what is becoming an increasingly frustrating problem: keeping all your devices connected wherever you are. Plus, if it can provide enough power to the kids’ iPods and portable games Consoles to keep them quiet for an hour or two in the back of the car then at £7.99 it’s got to be worth it....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Lumsing Grand A1 is a good-looking power bank that’s not overly big or heavy for its useful amount of capacity, but it just lacks that something special to make it stand out. Nevertheless, at £23.99 it offers pretty good value. Best Prices Today: Lumsing Grand A1 13,400mAh Built into a silver aluminium shell with blue trim and black polished plastic ends the Lumsing Grand A1 is a good-looking power bank that feels as though it should be resistant to wear and tear – a good thing, since no carry case is supplied....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict While it doesn’t look any different than the first Touch Bar MacBook Pro but the gains are plain to see with the new 8th-gen processors. This is the first recent Apple laptop that we can firmly say can hold a candle to the larger 15in version. The Touch Bar is still a bit unnecessary, but you have to buy the laptop with it to get the new chips....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Simple interface Speedy scan Cons Limited cleaning No registry scanning Our Verdict While CleanMyPC is easy to use, performance issues mean you are best off sticking to the free version for basic tools or putting your money elsewhere. Best Prices Today: MacPaw CleanMyPC MacPaw, as the name suggests, might be focused on software for Apple devices but also makes a Windows cleaner aptly called CleanMyPC....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Absolutely silent on lower levels Plug-in and cordless modes Replaceable battery Cheap to run Cons No smart features Remote control needed to access all functions Our Verdict Is this the best fan I’ve ever used? I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it is. It’s certainly the best model for a bedroom, where a smaller, portable fan is ideal and where its near-perfect silence will ensure you sleep well....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent keyboard Great screen Good port selection Cons Poor gaming performance Lacklustre speakers No fingerprint scanner Our Verdict The Surface Book is a minor upgrade over its predecessor, and some clear shortcomings mean it’s starting to look a bit dated when compared to the competition. Best Prices Today: Microsoft Surface Book 3 The original Surface Book was released back in 2015, at a time when Microsoft’s range of computers was rapidly expanding....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Activity trackers tend to sit in the background and provide information when Consulted, only occasionally forcing themselves on your attention when you hit a milestone. The Moov HR Sweat is in your face right from the start, and never lets up. The result was exhaustion, embarrassment, and the best workout we’ve had in years.It’s not cheap, and being tied to a smartphone is a bit of a pain – we’d love to transfer the wonderfully aggressive app on to a smartwatch with a heartrate monitor of its own, even if wrist pulse measurement isn’t quite as accurate – but there’s a lot to like about this device....

All it takes is for one person to fall victim to a hoax on Facebook and they spread like wildfire through the social network. Many people when quizzed will say they knew it wasn’t true, but they thought they had better share it just in case. (Which makes no sense whatsoever.) We round up some of the more common scams found on Facebook so you know what not to share....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Although the new Moto G4 is more expensive than the third-generation, Motorola is offering a Full HD screen, better processor, more storage and memory. Not everyone will enjoy the jump to 5.5in or the lack of full waterproofing but this is still a brilliant phone for under £200. Best Prices Today: Motorola Moto G4 As expected, Motorola has launched a new Moto G budget phone for 2016....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Decent LCD display Impressive main camera Good battery life Clean Android 13 experience Cons Plastic build Poor ultrawide camera Lack of video stabilisation Our Verdict The G73 5G delivers great performance and battery life for the price. But its photography abilities leave a lot to be desired, while the LCD screen isn’t as good as OLED panels on many similarly priced rivals. Best Prices Today: Moto G73 5G Looking for a cheap, mid-range phone that can handle all your everyday tasks?...

At a Glance Our Verdict These two handsets are both great, evenly matched for storage, camera and battery life. We expect that no-one would be disappointed with the purchase of either. The Moto X is bigger and bulkier but has a bigger screen. It also has better specs although in real-world terms you won’t notice the difference. You will, however, notice the extra £100 you have in your pocket after choosing the Moto X rather than the iPhone 5C....

Motorola’s long-rumoured Edge X30 finally materialised at a 9 December 2021 launch event in China, and in doing so, swiped the title for the first phone with Qualcomm’s newest top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 silicon out from underneath the likes of Realme and Xiaomi. The Edge X30 was leaked and teased numerous times leading up to its formal unveiling, and now, almost three months later, its international doppelgänger – the Motorola Edge 30 Pro – is finally here....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The MSI GL62 looks like a pretty plain entry-level gaming laptop at first, but it has a few neat tricks up its sleeve. Not everyone’s going to love the SteelSeries keyboard, but its mechanical key-inspired feel is something different, and its display colour saturation is impressive at the price, even if the screen won’t blow you away in other respects. It does rather highlight the problem with today’s affordable gaming laptops, though....

However, its price is high and there are some small flaws that drag down the rating, although we would still recommend it....
