We may be a year late, but the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are here. After a 12-month delay due to the pandemic, the famous sporting event is taking place in Japan – though due to the cost in rebranding it is still called the ‘2020 Olympics’. There’s still plenty of events to look forward to, with eyes turning to the 10m men’s diving finals. Tom Daley has already gotten his first gold with the men’s synchronised diving 10m platform final – can he make it two for two in the individual event?...

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Compact, sturdy design Good battery life Sure View display improves local privacy Cons Poor viewing angles Low storage options Our Verdict The HP Probook x360 435 G7 does the basics with style, offers good performance and battery life, and comes with integrated privacy features.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Although you can’t upgrade every component inside it, the HP Z1 G2 is undoubtedly the most flexible all-in-one ever made, and for users of CAD and 3D design software, it’s one of the most powerful. Although Apple’s fully-loaded 27in iMac has faster storage, a thinner profile and better gaming performance when equipped with a GeForce GTX 780M. The HP Z1 G2 is a fantastic piece of hardware that showcases the engineering prowess of HP....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The TalkBand B2 is certainly an enormous improvement over the TalkBand B1 in terms of design and practicality, but I’m still not sure I’d buy one. It’s an opinion divider, but I think for a (probably small) number of people, this device is going to be really exciting, and exactly what they’ve been looking for. You’ll know if you’re confident enough to wear and use the Bluetooth headset in public, and if you are, this smartband could be an excellent investment as it does its job brilliantly and looks good while doing so....

Chinese telecom provider Huawei was hardly a household word a few months ago, but it’s had lots of negative publicity of late, from an Economist cover story to a 60 Minutes piece . And now the US House Intelligence Committee has issued a report recommending that Huawei and ZTE, another Chinese telecom company, be viewed “with suspicion.” As the president of a third-party test lab, I’ve had some experience dealing with Huawei, its competitors, and its customers....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Sleek design Month-long battery life Range of brushing modes Cons No pressure sensor Not the best app Mouth quadrant display not always accurate Our Verdict The Oclean X Pro Digital sonic electric toothbrush has a premium design and will last you a long time on a single charge, but the lack of pressure sensor may be a dealbreaker for some. Best Prices Today: Oclean X Pro Digital Oclean may not be the biggest name in the world of electric toothbrushes, but its parent group is Xiaomi – a tech brand best known for undercutting the competition on price, while producing gadgets with great features....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Sonos quality audio 360-degree sound Takes standard E26/27 bulbs Cons No microphones Unusual design Lamp doesn’t preserve power state Our Verdict The Symfonisk speaker lamp remains a bit of an oddity, but for small spaces this is a handy hybrid, and both the aesthetic and the audio have been improved on the first generation.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The iMac Pro is the most capable Mac product ever assembled. It can cope with all but the most intense creative tasks, and even then its superb connectivity options allow it to sit as the hub of a highly accomplished professional set up. Creative professionals will swoon and assess whether they need to spend all that green on all that space grey. Chances are they could get away with a high-spec, but overall cheaper, regular 5K iMac....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Retro design Large and glossy prints Wide range of filters and shooting options Cons Very expensive for what it is Cumbersome build Battery and internal storage on the lower side Our Verdict While there’s no denying that the Instax Wide Evo can produce a versatile range of shots on high-quality paper, this camera-printer hybrid has a high price tag that most people will find hard to justify....

At a Glance Our Verdict If you have the iPad 2017, you really don’t need to upgrade, unless you want Apple Pencil support for the least money. It’s an unexpected move from Apple, but a great-to-have feature if you pick up the 2018 iPad. The A10 Fusion chip is also a welcome addition, and makes the tablet nearly as fast as the latest iPad Pro – impressive in a tablet that starts at £319/$329....

At a Glance Our Verdict These two phones are more closely matched than ever before. Although it’s more expensive, the Galaxy S6 is the better smartphone here thanks to its extra storage, impressive Quad HD screen, awesome camera and extra gadgets like the IR blaster and heart rate monitor. A big factor here is software, though, so if you don’t want Android then the iPhone 6 is the phone for you....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The JMGO M6 is a useful device for chucking in a bag and streaming media up to 100in wherever you want. It has a nice design but it’s not flawless, and navigation can be fiddly using the small remote control. We’d like to have seen stock Android built-in, and streaming support needs to include audio for Android devices. We don’t understand the point of the dock either....

You may be confused by what genre Joker: Folie à Deux is – I certainly was before seeing the film. In August 2022, we discovered that the sequel about the infamous DC villain would be a musical. Then, as the release date approached, the director and stars appeared to backtrack on that. Director Todd Phillips told Variety , “Most of the music in the movie is really just dialogue. It’s just Arthur not having the words to say what he wants to say, so he sings them instead”....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Fully automatic dispense Adjustable coffee mode settings Can use beans and ground coffee Excellent milk foam Cons Milk container and smart features cost extra Milk dispense requires daily clean Pricey Our Verdict Like other bean-to-cup machines, the Jura E6 is a pricey piece of caffeine kit, but if you want your coffee fast and freshly ground, it’s good value and worth the investment. Best Prices Today: Jura E6 It’s tempting to say that the Jura E6 is a coffee vending machine for a kitchen, but such a statement would betray the sheer quality of the coffee it dispenses....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The KC2000 might not scrape the bottom of the PCI bandwidth barrel, but it delivers enough reading and writing speed to outshine any SATA connected storage. When you combine the speed, TBW (Total Bytes Written) number and the price, the KC2000 offers an excellent deal. Best Prices Today: Kingston KC2000 The KC1000 drive that Kingston launched in mid-2017 was a bit of a disappointment....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent range of fan speeds Easy to use remote Temperature responsive mode Cons Oscillates when told not to Gets loud on high settings Our Verdict The 36in Levoit Classic tower fan is a good simple fan at a fair price, particularly if you can find it on sale. What’s more, it’s very economical to run. It can quickly cool down a mid-sized room and has good features, though it is a little temperamental....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The G2 mini is almost exactly what you’d expect it to be. A smaller of the flagship G2 but the build quality and specs take a serious dive. The saving grace is a decent camera but it’s worth paying the extra for the now heavily reduced G2. If your budget won’t stretch, check out the Sony Xperia M2. Best Prices Today: LG G2 mini Announced at MWC, LG has launched the G2 mini a number of months after the full-size LG G2 ....

At a Glance Our Verdict It’s difficult to be entirely prescriptive without fully testing the LG G3, but this much we can say: both the iPhone 5s and the LG G3 are great handsets, and they will cost around the same, with the LG being a bit cheaper. They are fast and well built. On the one hand the LG G3 definitely has the better display, but the iPhone 5s is smaller and easier to operate with one hand....
