The PS5 is now over three years old, and it’s no longer difficult to get hold of – though depending on where you live it might not cost the same as at launch.

Ahead of the launch of the PlayStation VR2 headset in February 2023, Sony claimed it is now delivering “increased supply of PS5 consoles,” and promised that fans “should now have a much easier time finding one at retailers globally....

What’s the most popular web browser? Google Chrome Apple Safari Firefox Microsoft Edge Following the launch of Windows 10 in 2015, Microsoft offered you a choice between its new Edge browser and the legacy Internet Explorer. However, since the launch of the new Chromium-based Edge in January 2020, the phasing out of Internet Explorer has gone up a notch.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Blue Yeti Nano is a great bit of kit for those just getting started with content creation, offering a massive step forward from the likes of built-in microphones found in phones and cameras, but it’s not quite what most would class as studio-quality. There’s also a lack of physical controls on the mic itself, due to the small dimensions, which could be frustrating for some....

In summary: Tech Advisor’s guide cuts through smartphone marketing hype to identify specs that actually matter for everyday users in 2026. Modern CPUs are powerful enough for most tasks, making battery efficiency, camera quality, and storage more important than raw processing power. Key recommendations include 128-256GB storage, 8GB RAM, and prioritizing practical features over flagship specifications that offer minimal real-world benefits. Manufacturers like to adorn the long lists of features in their smartphone advertising with terms such as “Super AMOLED”, “120Hz”, “5G”, “AI camera” or “ultra-wide angle” – but often this is more marketing than real added value for normal users....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Noise issues aside, the Club 3D Radeon R9 390 royalQueen makes a great choice for a first enthusiast-level system. It also serves at a convenient drop-in performance boost when teamed up with an existing AMD card, even from the previous generation. Give, the low price, it probably makes more sense to buy one of these than to step up to a Radeon R9 390X....

The way we are consuming video content has changed rapidly over the past few years. We’re moving away from pre-scheduled television where we endlessly flick through channels, trying to find something we’d like to watch, and have arrived in a space where large amounts of high quality content is available to us whenever we want it. Being able to access this content when we want it has already been solved, but with so many different devices, formats, operating systems and media players, watching content on your device of your preference can still be a headache....
