Given that electric scooters are legal to use in many countries – especially in Europe – it’s surprising that they are not allowed on public roads or footpaths in the UK. The current ruling also seems hideously out-of-date when you consider that electric scooters have the same top speeds as electric bikes, which are favoured by many for their commute. Electric scooters – kick-scooters that have a built-in, low-power motor – are classified as PLEVs, or Personal Light Electric Vehicles....

However, like many other season passes available, the downloadable content (DLC) is being released slowly throughout the year as opposed to all at once.

Following the launch of the Red Magic 6, Asus ROG Phone 5 and Black Shark 4 in March, it was the turn of Lenovo with its second-gen Legion Phone Duel.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The E550’s build quality is fine, its battery life not terrible, and the Intel chip looks fast and frugal. But the screen is below par and – ultimately – this finger-drummingly slow laptop cannot be recommended for anyone that needs to get work done in a hurry. Best Prices Today: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E500 Lenovo still has an enviable reputation for dependable business laptops , even after its consumer division was caught installing Superfish advertising malware on new laptops this year to turn a quick buck....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Lenovo Yoga 900 is a laptop that really asks you to believe in its design style. After all, it doesn’t come cheap and for the price you can get a laptop with much more power if you’re not out for something immensely portable. That’s where this laptop excels: portability. As well as being slim, light and all-round lovely, the smart hinge lets it sit where most other laptops just can’t....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Set aside the multiplayer and so far Man of Medan looks a lot like Until Dawn, but, y’know, on a boat. Still, the multiplayer element is a proper, capital-I Innovation, and means that Man of Medan will offer a co-op experience genuinely unlike anything else on the market. Until Dawn was always best experienced with a friend there to shout at your bad decisions, and now you get to shout at each other instead....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The 2017 Surface Pro is a superb 2-in-1. It’s beautifully built and performs well. The screen is excellent and even the speakers sound good. However, it’s very expensive, especially when you add the cost of the Type Cover and – if you need one – the Surface Pen. Few should opt for the base model, and you’ll pay a heck of a lot more for a Core i7....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Moto G6 Play is a great little surprise of a phone. It holds its own next to the other two G6 phones and has better battery life (and a cooler fingerprint sensor). The 18:9 display and premium (but plastic) design means it feels just as well-made as phones double the price but doesn’t compromise on performance to do so. With a headphone jack as a plus, a minus is micro-USB but we’ll forgive that on its strengths and can recommend the G6 Play as one of the best budget phones of 2018....

Motorola has launched three new phones in the UK today, including its cheapest handset of 2021 so far. The new Moto E20 will set you back just £79.99, undercutting almost the entire budget phone market in the process. Compromises are inevitable at this price, and they’re present throughout the Moto E20 experience. Some of the most noticeable are under the hood, with the phone powered by the Unisoc T606. It’s hard to make any performance predictions considering the E20 is the first phone to use this chipset, although pairing it with just 2GB of RAM means that anything more than basic use will be a struggle....
