There’s never been a better time to buy an affordable smartphone. The mid-range has seen serious improvement in recent years, with several impressive devices currently on offer at prices that make you question the point of flagships that regularly demand over a grand of your hard-earned cash.

In the early 2000s, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (directed by Edgar Wright) was one of the most interesting comic book adaptations. Based on the graphic novel by Bryan Lee O’Malley, the film was a clever mixture of video game-style narrative elements, campy aesthetics and indie rock music. However, the film did not win over audiences at the time, failing to make back its $85 million production budget. Nowadays its considered a cult classic, and over a decade later Netflix has decided it’s time to revive Scott and his friends in the form of an animated series....

Not so long ago, browsing the web on your laptop was limited to home, work, school and perhaps a coffee shop or library. That’s because Wi-Fi (or ethernet) was the only way to connect to the internet from a computer for a long time. That’s begun to change in recent years, with a growing number of laptops now coming with LTE support.
