Fitbit’s trackers all have pretty decent battery lives, ranging from four to seven days between charges. The latest Charge 4 and (now discontinued Alta HR) could keep running for up to seven days. The Versa 2 isn’t far behind at 6 days. The Ace 2, Ionic and Inspire series can usually clock up 5 days before needing a charge. However, that relies on the human attached to the tracker to remember to take it off and charge it every now and again....

As someone who reviews phones for a living, I don’t often stay with one handset for long. At Tech Advisor, we have a strict policy of using a smartphone as our main device for at least a week before reviewing it. But once that review is complete, the next phone is often ready and waiting for my SIM card. However, after switching to the Pixel 9 Pro XL for a trip to Hawaii in October (where it proved me wrong ), I got the unusual opportunity to continue using it for much longer....

We’re not even two weeks into 2023, and already the year is dominated by rising costs. Practically everything is going up, from electric and gas bills to that takeaway ‘deal’ at Pizza Hut that used to be £5 less than it is now (I’m not bitter at all). With all that in mind, I’ve compiled some of the top tips to keep costs down. Hopefully, my bank account will thank me… and who knows, maybe yours will too....

Windows 7 is no more – or, more accurately, no longer supported. That means no more bug fixes and more crucially, no more security updates. If you’re still running a Windows 7 PC, it’s time to move. What are your options? You could buy a brand-new PC, but the truth is that your current PC is probably more than capable of running Windows 10. If you’ve no need, desire or budget to buy a whole new computer, then discover how to upgrade to Windows 10 for as little as £29....

The eccentric Agatha first appeared in the MCU in the WandaVision series as a nosy neighbour named Agnes. The seemingly harmless woman turned out to be a ruthless witch looking to take on Wanda Maximoff’s unique powers. However, viewers came to love the quick-witter sorcerer, and Marvel decided to give her a standalone series. Agatha All Along comprised part of Phase Five of the MCU and became a hit among viewers and critics alike....

Sometimes, the phone you use every day holds some powerful features – they might just be hidden or unknown to you. When Google released Android 16 in the summer of 2025, many users noticed the major new features related to Gemini AI and the fancy grouped notifications, but likely went right back into texting, browsing the web, and using Instagram like normal. Yet, there are several features that might not be as obvious....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It may cost only £50, but that doesn’t make the Activity Tracker good value. It’s a glorified pedometer and lacks features you’ll find in other trackers such as the Fitbit One, Jawbone Up24 and Nike FuelBand SE. Its only saving grace is the handy clock. Best Prices Today: Archos Activity Tracker Not much thought went into naming Archos’ first activity tracker , but at least it says what it does....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It’s tricky to give the Asus Fonepad 7 LTE a solid verdict, because it’s a device we think will appeal to only a few. For anyone looking for a 7in tablet that can make phone calls, the Asus Fonepad 7 LTE is certainly worth a look, though we’re not completely sure why you’d want to make phone calls on a 7in tablet. If you’re just looking for a 7in tablet, you’ll find better elsewhere....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Reco Classic is a great dash cam which records good quality video both during the day and at night.

Best Prices Today: Asus Reco Classic Asus is better known for its laptops, motherboards and graphics cards, but is branching out into dash cams ....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Impressive OLED display Solid battery life Decent audio Cons Poor performance Plain design Lacking ports Our Verdict On paper, the Vivobook 13 Slate OLED is a great affordable alternative to Microsoft’s Surface Pro. But its sub-par performance will frustrate you every day, and that alone makes it hard to recommend. If you’re on the lookout for a new Windows 2-in-1, there’s more choice than ever in 2022....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you want well-rounded wireless earbuds for an affordable price then the CK3TW (annoying model name aside) are a good choice. They sound good and even have automatic playback when you remove or replace them. However, a couple of downsides stop them scoring higher.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Audio-Technica’s ATH-AR3BT headphones deliver a balanced soundscape and solid build at a reasonable price.

Best Prices Today: Audio-Technica ATH-AR3BT There’s a huge amount of competition in the wireless headphone market at the moment, so it’s no surprise to see companies pushing gimmicks and innovations to help them stand out....

It’s a wild understatement to say that it’s been a strange year but Electrical Direct is adding an even more surreal spin to things by listing on its website a home security kit inspired by Home Alone’s Kevin McCallister. The £250 kit, which is oddly out of stock (will it ever come back in stock? we really can’t say) contains items including a Nerf Gun, a celebrity cut-out, a pack of marbles, Christmas baubles (ouch) and a remote-control tarantula....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you’re after a monitor with good colours and contrast, but aren’t bothered about fast response times for gaming, the GW2406Z is a great budget choice. Best Prices Today: BenQ GW2406Z In recent years AOC has been the go-to brand if you wanted a cheap IPS PC monitor.

The best charging cable is the one that comes with your device (phone, tablet, laptop, camera, etc), but it is unlikely to be the smartest or most useful. It does the job but that’s about it. Let’s face it – charging cables are boring… until you can’t find yours and your device has run out of battery power. Then it suddenly becomes a matter of life and death to find it....

One of the biggest draws of NBCUniversal’s streaming platform Peacock is its library of TV series – from classic beloved sitcoms to nail-biting dramas. This is also the only place in the US where you can stream all nine seasons of The Office .
