While hoverboards were once all the rage, the interest has shifted to electric scooters over the past few years – and considering how much easier they are to control, it’s not hard to see why. Offering a convenient, environmentally friendly way for people to get around and a fun riding experience, eScooters are hugely popular – even if they are still illegal to ride on public roads in the UK ....

Apple’s iPhone 13 might not be the latest in the range, but it’s still an impressive smartphone. There’s no dramatic redesign (apart from a diagonal orientation of the cameras), but you do get a gorgeous display, great cameras, a long-lasting battery and solid performance with Apple’s A15 Bionic processor. Following the same convention as its predecessor, there are four models in the iPhone 13 range – the iPhone 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, and 13 mini – all of which, once again, support 5G....

After nearly years of struggling, it’s now possible to buy both the Xbox Series X and Series S without too much effort. That’s good news by itself, but especially since it means the two consoles are now sometimes available at discounted prices. We’re keeping tabs on all the retailers offering the devices and have live tools to keep track of stock and pricing for both the premium Series X and the more affordable Series S – and the best deals as they go live....

In summary: Tech Advisor reports that the Google Pixel 10a may disappoint budget-conscious buyers, with pricing expected to match the Pixel 9a at €549 for 128GB and €649 for 256GB. Despite earlier rumors suggesting a price drop, new information indicates the device will maintain current pricing due to industry-wide trends of increasing phone costs.

If you haven’t heard of Apple TV+’s The Studio, take this as your sign that you should check it out. Co-created by longtime partners Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, The Studio takes you on a tumultuous, hilarious, and oftentimes downright cringy ride into the life of Matt Remick (Rogen) as he tackles his biggest job yet: his promotion to president of Continental Studios. For Matt, it’s a dream come true. He’s been working towards this role his whole life....

In summary: Tech Advisor investigates persistent rumors about Tesla’s alleged “Model Pi” smartphone, finding no official evidence from Tesla or Elon Musk confirming its existence. Viral videos claiming a $100 Tesla phone are clickbait hoaxes, with Musk expressing reluctance to enter smartphones unless forced by app store censorship issues. Tesla’s Master Plan Part IV focuses on automation and Tesla Bots rather than consumer electronics, suggesting the company won’t challenge Apple or Google soon....

Most people – and I don’t think I’m going out on a limb by saying this – understand the basic transaction that happens when you use free web services such as Gmail and Facebook. Those terms usually explain – in hard-to-understand legalese – that in return for letting you use the service for free, you allow the company to sell your data to other companies. That, along with all the adverts which pepper your inbox or social media feed, is what pays to keep these services running....

Xiaomi announced a lot of great products at MWC 2025 , including the Xiaomi 15 smartphone, but one colourway might be the most impractical design I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame we don’t get the Xiaomi 15 Custom Edition in the West but we do get one of the most striking colourways I’ve seen in years – the Liquid Silver model. Like something out of a house of mirrors at a funfair, this model has a highly reflective rear cover with a ‘3D Wave Texture’....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The usual caveat of ‘Chromebooks aren’t for everyone’ of course applies, but the Toshiba CB30 is a very useable and capable laptop for anyone who spends the majority of their computing time online using Google services. The increased screen size is a definite bonus over 11.6in models, even if it isn’t a high-quality display, while the plastic Construction keeps the weight to a portable 1....

At a Glance Our Verdict The Toshiba Satellite Click 10 hasn’t blown us away – its design and specs are quite average overall – but that’s not to say we don’t think it could be a brilliant device for certain types of users. In particular, it would suit students and business people who travel regularly. You’re not going to be able to carry out any heavy duty tasks or run power-hungry software, but for browsing the web, working on Microsoft Office documents and other general tasks it’s a brilliant way to get the benefits of a laptop and of a tablet rolled into one....

In days gone by, we lived in an analogue world where we relied on tapes, from cassettes to VHS. Then came digital with CDs and DVDs. Now, the world is moving online where music and video are streamed on-demand but physical recording on discs are still important. After all, you might still have analogue videos of your child’s first steps, your wedding or that memorable family holiday. Plus, even if you have numerous DVD discs on your shelf, these too need to be protected....

Not everyone wants a VPN so they can keep their online activity private. Many simply want to circumvent regional blocks and watch HBO Max in the UK, or a movie on Netflix US that’s not available in other countries. However, when you do use a VPN – which stands for Virtual Private Network – you’d rightly assume that your data is encrypted – regardless of what you’re doing. But that isn’t always the case, as I’ll explain....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Thanks to an enormous capacity in a still just handleable bus-powered package drive chassis, the WD My Passport Pro could prove invaluable for carrying huge volumes of data on the road. At £350 for the 4 TB version it is not pocket-change cheap but nevertheless its price per capacity figure of just 8.8p/GB makes it in effect the cheapest Thunderbolt drive in this class....

While it’s true that most of us aren’t exactly up to speed with internet error codes, there is one that we’re all likely to have come across at one point during our adventures online. The 404 error code is the most common, but what does it actually mean? When do you see a 404 error code? The time when you’ll encounter a 404 error code is when you click on a link to a web page that doesn’t exist – it may have done once, but is no longer there....
