Intel has long been considered top dog when it comes to laptop processors, but a new ad campaign shows the company is looking over its shoulder. Titled ‘Justin Gets Real’, a series of five short clips compares a selection of Intel-powered PCs with Apple’s latest MacBook Pro and Air. While none of the ads explicitly say which is better, it’s heavily implied that going with an Intel device is a no-brainer....

As a free-to-use video chat service, it’s perhaps no surprise that Houseparty has rapidly grown in popularity during the coronavirus pandemic. The mobile app has struck a chord with teenagers and young adults in particular, allowing them to play games with friends and meet new people while stuck at home. However, towards the end of March blamed Houseparty for a wave of hacks that supposedly exposed users’ Spotify, Snapchat and online banking data....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Kolibree Ara does a lot well – it’s just not quite the revolutionary A.I. brush it claims to be. There’s nothing here you can’t get elsewhere, but don’t let that put you off buying it. This is a very solid smart toothbrush that’s half the price of its rivals, and that alone is worth celebrating. Best Prices Today: Kolibree Ara Smart Toothbrush Kolibree may not be a big name in the toothbrush world, but it does have one astonishing claim: that it’s made the world’s first toothbrush with embedded artificial intelligence....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Best Prices Today: Kurio Tab Advance Choosing a tablet that is safe for your child to use can be a tricky business. Yes, most have security settings and filters, but how can you be sure that the apps and websites your little one has access to are appropriate for their age? To help you make the most informed choice, you should also take a look at our Best tablet for kids roundup....

The iPhone 12 range is set to make an appearance very soon, but with more leaks than an old sieve, we already know pretty much all there is to know – and that includes full pricing for the entire range, thanks to a recent leak, although disagreement among the Apple leak community casts doubt on just how accurate it is. Let’s start with the big one; leaker @a_rumors111 leaked full pricing for the entire iPhone 12 range, including different storage options for each device....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The specially built-for-kids LeapPad3 and LeapPad Ultra XDi are similar in specs and functionality. The larger, 7-inch, Ultra XDi has twice the storage as the 5-inch LeapPad 3 but younger children may prefer the 3’s smaller size and weight. We think their upper-age range is six or seven rather than Leapfrog’s claimed nine, but our eight-year-old tester still enjoyed her time with both. While the hardware is cheaper than normal tablets note that the software can be more expensive....

Mobile gaming has become a hot topic recently, thanks mainly to the arrival of the Nintendo Switch which seemed to reignite interest in dedicated hardware you can take anywhere. Now, other manufacturers are getting in on the action, with leaks revealing that Lenovo intends to add to its Legion gaming line of devices with a new Android powered handset. Here’s all we know so far about the Lenovo Legion Play....

At a Glance Our Verdict We were fans of the original Z5 Pro, which offered a solid slider experience on a budget, and we’re actually impressed by how much the Z5 Pro GT seems to offer while staying fairly affordable. This is a pretty wallet-friendly way to get a Snapdragon 855 phone, and even if you kit it out with 12GB RAM it’s still comfortably cheaper than Samsung’s maxxed out S10 Plus....

March was the month for new gaming phones, with the the Red Magic 6 , Asus ROG Phone 5 and Black Shark 4 all launching within a few days of each other. It looks like that trend is continuing into April, with Lenovo launching the Legion Phone Duel 2 at an event in China. It’s arguably the most eye-catching of the lot, with a number of features you simply won’t find on other handsets....

Lenovo’s new Yoga Book 9i is, the company claims, the world’s first full-size dual screen laptop. It certainly has two screens. Announced at CES 2023, the device adopts a traditional clamshell form factor. But instead of a physical keyboard, it has a full secondary 13.3in 2.8K OLED display that’s identical to the main one, attached via a 360° hinge. When used with the laptop’s keyboard and stand accessory (included in the box), it can be used like a regular laptop or in the two orientations shown above: as a laptop with two stacked landscape displays or in book-like form with two portrait screens side by side....

It used to be that you’d charge your phone once a week. Of course, this was back when all you did was text and actually call people. Now, with smartphones continually increasing in size, power and complexity, the demands on batteries are much more aggressive. Lithium-ion cells have risen to the challenge, powering all modern smartphones, tablets, and a variety of smart devices, but you’d be lucky to get more than a day or so out of a single charge....

Best Prices Today: Logitech G935 Logitech is one of the most popular manufacturers of PC peripherals, and it’s not hard to see why.

Logitech has a grip on the high-end mouse market that looks set to continue with its new MX Master 3 . The £99.99 mouse was announced at IFA 2019 in Berlin and upgrades the popular peripheral to include a redesigned scroll wheel that uses electromagnets to give incredibly precise scrolling. Logitech says features like this have made the MX Master series the mice of choice for programmers and developers alike, but in our eyes if you can afford to splash a hundred quid on a mouse, you should probably make it this one – anyone will enjoy the ergonomic upgrade....

Konami made an unexpected announcement in 2016: a spinoff Metal Gear Solid game set in a world full of dangerous, zombie-esque beings. It’s the first time that the company has produced a Metal Gear game without the infamous Hideo Kojima behind the wheel, and it has been secretive about the project since the initial announcement. But let’s be honest, when does anything game-related in 2018 stay a secret? Here we discuss everything we know so far about Metal Gear Survive including its release date, platforms, pre-orders and gameplay....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Svelte & durable design Clever & clean software Large 144Hz screen Good performance Cons Cameras not top level Only two years of Android updates Our Verdict The Motorola Edge 40 is a solid phone for the price, with a slim and lightweight build, good screen, and great software, but the cameras aren’t the best, and the software support is too short. Best Prices Today: Motorola Edge 40 You may not know that Motorola phones are made by Lenovo these days, or owned by Lenovo anyway....

Motorola has announced the Edge 60 Stylus, a budget smartphone alternative to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but we’re not quite ready to celebrate just yet. The phone packs a solid spec together with a bundled stylus at a knock down price, but it’s only been announced for the Indian market at present. What is the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus? Besides an integrated stylus – the only 2025 phone to feature such a thing other than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus features the company’s signature curvaceous design, as well as rapid 68W charging and 256GB of storage....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At first glance, the 270 might seem a relatively unexciting addition. Close to the 270X in many respects, but just a little slower, can it really offer anything? Well, yes, actually. The price is juicier, and the performance surprisingly upbeat. It outclasses the 260X and is well worth the extra money. It’s also not very far behind the 270X, but is more modest in terms of power and noise....

Back at the start of the year Google promised that new security cameras would be launched in 2021 and, after staying silent since then, it has now announced the range. Rumours of a battery-powered camera were spot on: the Nest Cam Battery can run without wires, but you can also run it on mains power if you prefer. And you can use it indoors or outdoors. There’s also two main-powered models coming soon: a new floodlight model and the second-generation Nest Cam, which is for indoor use....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At £199, the Welcome is relatively expensive for an indoor camera. But unlike the new Nest Cam IQ, it doesn’t require a subscription. The facial recognition isn’t 100 percent accurate (neither is the IQ’s) but at least the app lets you configure exactly when you get notifications and you can reassure family members that it won’t record clips of them if they don’t want it to....
