At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict It may not be quite as versatile as the marketing suggests – you’ll still need to buy an extra action cam cage and switching cameras is far from seamless – but if you want to carry around one stabiliser to cover multiple cameras, the Crane M2 does the job well. Great battery life, solid performance, and an impressive array of stabilisation modes are enough to make up for slightly clunky controls – just make sure your camera is compatible before you commit....

But it turns out one company is unperturbed. ZTE, the Chinese phone maker behind the Red Magic and Nubia brands, has partnered with US AI firm Leia, Inc. to build a glasses-free 3D tablet. Launched at Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona, the Nubia Pad 3D is an Android tablet with a large 12.4in 2.5K LCD screen with a high 120Hz refresh rate, four Dolby supported speakers, and a big 9070mAh battery crammed into its black matt metal frame....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The £299 price tag means the Zyxel Multy X will mainly appeal to owners of larger homes who need very wide Wi-Fi coverage. Zyxel needs to tidy up the Multy app to make things simpler for first-time users, but once it’s up and running the Multy will earn its keep by providing strong, reliable performance, even in rooms that might normally struggle to get good Wi-Fi reception....

Recently, the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) ran a competition to capture the best aerial photos in the UK. It attracted over 800 entries in four categories urban day, urban night, countryside, and Christmas. The CAA regulates UK airspace and is responsible for the ‘ Dronecode ’, a set of safety-conscious rules that drone flyers must adhere to at all times. One of the rules is that drones must not be flown higher than 400ft above the ground, so all entries were captured from this height, or below it....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A newly-made knight tries to enter a tournament to prove himself, but winds up having to take on a more dangerous and personal challenge. The third TV show set in the world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire is likeable enough, but far from the must-see status of Game of Thrones. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined...

The Good Place might be gone, but creator Michael Schur knows that he’s onto a good thing with his follow-up show, A Man on the Inside. Season one was a delight, transforming Ted Danson’s retiree into a bumbling PI on the hunt for a missing necklace in an old folk’s home. Season two switches things up with a new case that takes Charles Nieuwendyk to his daughter’s alma mater where a laptop has been stolen....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Lightweight Long battery life Convertible design Cons All plastic casing No keyboard backlight Glitchy performance Our Verdict Long battery life and the lightweight chassis make the Acer Spin 513 a good option for road-warriors or those with long commutes. A few glitches mean its stablemates might be a better choice. Best Prices Today: Acer Spin 513 Chromebook Acer’s Spin range of Chromebooks have been impressing me of late, be it at the budget or premium end of the scale....

Acer used CES 2020 to update its popular Swift 3 ultrabook with the latest chips from both Intel and AMD. Somewhat confusingly, the laptops it put those chips in aren’t the same though – despite both simply being called the Swift 3. It’s a move destined to cause consumer confusion and buyer’s remorse, which is a shame because it distracts from the fact that these are otherwise decent looking laptops that pack in surprisingly powerful specs for the price....

At a Glance Our Verdict There’s very little to choose between these two programs when it comes to the variety and power of their editing tools. And, at around £80 each they both offer excellent value for money. Premiere Elements will appeal more to less experienced users as its Guided Edits do a great job of introducing important editing tools and techniques. However, PowerDirector lives up to its name, with some impressive features, such as its new Audio Sync option and sub-titling tools, that may well win over more experienced users....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Scraping an AV-Test Certification may put some people off AhnLab V3 Internet Security 8.0, but standards in malware protection are now very high. We wonder if its scanning should be more thorough too. In its favour it’s very easy to setup and use. For general-purpose home protection it’s definitely better than having nothing, but there are more secure alternatives available at similar and lower cost....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Lightweight AKG-quality audio on a budget 20-hour battery life Cons Tight headband Flawed auto-pause functionality Our Verdict AKG’s Y400 on-ear headphones offer the company’s signature sound at a cheaper price point, and the lightweight design is a nice touch, but flawed smarts let it down. Best Prices Today: AKG Y400 Utilising AKG’s 70+ years of audio engineering experience and its whopping 1500 audio-focused patents, the company set out to bring its signature sound to the masses in the form of a pair of affordable lightweight, fashion-focused on-ear headphones....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict At half of the price of the big Echo, the Echo Dot is the best choice for most people. The only difference is that the built-in speaker isn’t great, but you can plug in your own hi-fi or use a Bluetooth speaker. Alexa is genuinely useful, especially in the kitchen and if you have compatible smart home gadgets. If you want, you can still (at the time of writing) get this model for a little cheaper....

AMD’s Ryzen processors are aimed at gamers and PC enthusiasts who want a high-performance CPU. Ryzen processors are available for desktop PCs, and will soon be in laptops and servers. For desktop PCs, the more affordable Ryzen 3 range is coming and a super-high-end 16-core monster dubbed Threadripper is coming this summer. We’ve reviewed the Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 but there are more processors in each range. We’ve summarised the lineup along with their prices in the table below....

As if swimming in Animal Crossing: New Horizons wasn’t enough, the game is getting another free Summer update (Vol.2) on 30 July 2020 which will feature three key new gameplay elements: firework shows, dreaming and an island backup and restoration service for Nintendo Switch Online users. Tom Nook is quaking. Summer is far from over on your island, as every Sunday in August at 7pm you’ll be able to attend a big fireworks display....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict If you can afford it, the AG352UCG6 will not disappoint. It’s bright, vibrant and fantastic for racing games in particular. The menu system and joystick control takes a while to get used to and you’ll need to tweak settings to get the absolute best out the display. Best Prices Today: AOC AG352UCG6 There are gaming monitors, curved gaming monitors and – at the very top end – ultrawide curved gaming monitors....

The Mac Mini was one of the first ever devices to move to Apple Silicon, having been equipped with the original M1 chip in 2020. Starting at $699/£699, it was a great way to get high-end performance without the price tag to match. But with no new model for two years, there were rumours that Apple had cancelled the Mac Mini altogether. Fortunately, that hasn’t materialised, and the brand-new 2023 model looks like it’s been worth the wait....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Between the chunky, colourful aesthetics and madcap mechanics, Arms is Nintendo through-and-through. The motion controls aren’t perfect, but add enough fun to be worth the loss in precision, and the simple mechanics hide a surprising amount of tactical depth. How long the appeal lasts might depend on how successfully Nintendo expands the rather slight fighter roster, but right now Arms is a very welcome addition to the Switch lineup....

In 2026, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who loves Windows. It’s useful, sure, but it doesn’t inspire devotion in the same way that Android or iOS does. However, the options for switching remain limited, especially if you use an Android phone and want seamless integration. In terms of operating systems, macOS is very Apple-focused, ChromeOS offers limited desktop-quality app support and Linux has a steep learning curve....

Asus took to the stage at the all-digital CES 2021 to unveil not only an upgraded ROG Zephyrus Duo 15, ROG Strix Scar 15 and ZenBook Duo, but the introduction of Asus’ first ultrathin 2-in-1 gaming laptop, the ROG Flow X13. Offering a built-in discrete GPU and the option to hook up to one of the slickest eGPUs we’ve ever seen, the Flow X13 is a lightweight – but ultra-premium – gaming laptop that doesn’t skimp on performance....
