At a Glance Our Verdict If you’re looking for a large phablet then you can’t get much bigger than the Archos 64 Xenon. It’s certainly not the best phablet we’ve seen, but we didn’t expect it to be as it only costs £199. For that price, you’re getting a well-rounded phablet with reasonable specs that’ll do the trick nicely if you’re on a budget and aren’t worried about top-of-the-range features and build quality....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The X552CL isn’t perfect, and the limited viewing angles of the screen definitely leave room for improvement. However, it does provide good performance for a laptop in this price range, and the inclusion of the GT 710M makes this one of the few budget laptops we’ve seen in recent months that can actually handle some decent 3D gaming action.

Microsoft’s Surface Pro has had plenty of competition over the years, but Asus’ latest device takes aim at the company’s budget 2-in-1 instead. The new ExpertBook B3 Detachable has the same 10.5in display as the Surface Go 3 , but key differences elsewhere make it a credible alternative. The most obvious is under the hood, where the B3 Detachable ditches Intel for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chipset. It’s a significant step down from the 8cx Gen 3 that powers flagship ARM-based devices, but is still capable of delivering good performance....

Maybe we should have all seen it coming given the A1 Mini’s name, but here it is. Instead of a cantilever design, the A1 is similar to many other bed slingers out there such as the Ender 3 and has a two-post gantry for the Z axis....
