At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Right now you cannot find an ultrabook that crams specs like this into a body this small, and the S13 does it all while under-cutting most of the market on price. That’s not even mentioning the reverse notch, which keeps the bezels slim while providing a handy lip for opening the laptop. The silver finish might be a bit bling and the trackpad isn’t the best, but those are minor complaints....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Stylish & compact Good performance and range Lots of features Cons Not the easiest to manage Backhaul goes down sometimes Only two wired networking ports on each node Our Verdict Asus’ new mini-mesh is clearly better at the most important things than its predecessor.

The handset, which starts at £1,099/$1,099, features a 6.7in all-glass display, making it the biggest screen ever on an iPhone ever.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Bluboo S1 might look identical to the Doogee Mix, but it doesn’t quite match its charm. It’s built solidly enough, and can perform day-to-day task without issue, but the awful camera does spoil things quite Considerably.
