Although it’s nominally in a ‘50s style, Smeg’s bean-to-cup coffee machine is not in the shiny plastic and faux chrome of the brand’s most famous small appliances. Instead, it has a minimalist design with a brushed aluminium front panel and contrasting body, dispenser and wand. We’re reviewing the black and aluminium model, but other colour options include taupe, emerald green, red and white. There’s also an all-black option. Colour options may vary, depending on your location....

Surfshark says that this approach obscures and hides your traffic, stabilizes performance, and enhances your VPN connection speed. One of Nexus’ benefits was the ability to choose your ‘entry’ and ‘exit’ servers on the network and, finally, this is being rolled out. Surfshark calls it Dynamic MultiHop and it’s available right now in the iOS app. It should arrive in the Android, Windows and macOS over the next few weeks....

The updated 14in and 16in MacBook Pros use Apple’s new top-of-the-line M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, with the former also making its way to the Mac Mini. You’ll have to settle for the regular M2 on the cheapest model, but all three configurations should be a significant upgrade over its M1-powered predecessor from 2020. With the new Mac Mini now available to pre-order in the US and UK, here’s everything you need to know about buying one....

Con la Series S deberás renunciar a la unidad de disco, lo que significa que todos los juegos deberán ser descargados y jugados de forma digital. Es algo menos potente que la Series X, y además tampoco es compatible con resolución 4K. No obstante, esta videoconsola es un 60 % más pequeña que su hermana mayor, con un cuerpo más delgado y pequeño que la hacen más fácil de transportar....

There’s been plenty of excitement surrounding the new Ryzen 7000 Series, which AMD debuted in August 2022. But the bulk of its CPUs are usually announced at CES, and the company hasn’t disappointed in the first week of 2023. Here’s everything you need to know. AMD Ryzen 7000 Series release date AMD revealed the first Ryzen 7000 Series processors on 29 August 2022. That’s earlier than we’d usually expect, but makes sense given there were no desktop CPUs in the Ryzen 6000 Series....

The challenge is that current gaming services vary in style a lot. Some let you play games you already own, some require you to buy them again. Some will work on any device, some have more restricted access. And of course, some will simply have better performance and speeds than others. Here’s how to pick which is right for you. With the release of Nvidia’s upgraded RTX 4080-equipped Ultimate tier of its GeForce Now streaming service rolling out in the next month or so, it’s pretty clear that game streaming is only going to keep growing....

It often makes more sense when using as a second screen, particularly if you like to have messaging apps open while you work. It may be useful for digital artists, so you can see your photo frame. On a separate monitor, you might want to have easier access to particular ports you use regularly too. There are three key ways this can be done on a Windows laptop or PC....

When the feature is enabled it will allow you to issue keyboard commands by pressing the buttons one after another, rather than at the same time. For example, if you wanted to use the copy function which is accessed by pressing the ‘Crtl’ and ‘C’ keys at the same time, Sticky Keys will allow you to activate this command by first pressing ‘Ctrl’, and then pressing ‘C’ after. This feature was introduced for those looking to avoid RSI (repetitive strain injury) or those with a physical disability....

What is a virtual desktop? If you have a single monitor attached to your PC or use only your laptop’s built-in screen, you have one screen – desktop – to run all of your apps. This is fine if you only hop between a browser and a program such as Microsoft Office, but if you have lots of apps open things can get a bit confusing or just plain cumbersome. Virtual desktops are a bit like having lots of monitors: you can create different workspaces (screens) where you can arrange apps; so if you want one for work-related apps and another for leisure, you can do that....

It’s a great tablet, but the next-gen iPad mini 7 is likely in the early stages of development behind closed doors at Apple Park – and early whispers suggest a moderate, but still interesting, upgrade could be in the works. Here’s what to expect from the iPad mini 7, from release date and pricing predictions to the latest rumours and our predictions for the next-gen tablet. When will the iPad mini 7 be released?...

With Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system struggling to boost laptop and PC sales, vendors are reportedly turning to Android. With increasing sales of Android tablets worldwide, laptop makers are turning to Google’s operating system in a bid to rejuvenate demand. The news comes after Windows 8 was largely blamed for a huge slump in global PC sales by research firm IDC. Intel has begun promoting Android-powered convertible notebook-tablet devices despite its Windows focused Ultrabook brand, according to Digitimes which cites insiders at numerous laptop vendors....

El modelo de 3ª generación es un paso importante para Oura porque no solo actualiza la tecnología de seguimiento de la empresa, sino que también estrena un controvertido modelo de suscripción que significa que, para sacar el máximo provecho de Oura, tendrás que añadir al coste inicial una cuota mensual de suscripción de 5,99 €. Llevo usando el modelo de 3ª generación a diario desde hace más de un año, y me ha impresionado enormemente la fluidez y discreción con la que gestiona el seguimiento de la actividad física....

El fabricante de teléfonos estaba en la cima de los teléfonos móviles Android a principios de 2019. De hecho, el P30 Pro fue considerado uno de los mejores teléfonos jamás fabricados y Huawei realmente estaba desafiando el dominio del mercado de Samsung. Casi cuatro años después y tras sufrir la prohibición comercial por parte de Estados Unidos, los teléfonos inteligentes de Huawei se han visto obstaculizados por la falta de soporte nativo de servicios y aplicaciones de Google, así como la incapacidad de integrar de serie módems 5G....

We outline all there is to know about the AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series right here, including the reveal of the RX 7000 Series for laptops at CES 2023. When was the AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series released? The Radeon RX 7900 XT and top-end RX 7900 XTX both launched on 13 December 2022, just under a month after the competing Nvidia RTX 4080 went on sale. RX 7000 Series-equipped laptops, on the other hand, are expected to begin to appear on the market in the first few months of 2023....

That’s bad timing for Asus, which just unveiled the Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip: a Google-powered gaming device that was originally intended to bear the Stadia branding, and still features a white body with bright orange accented WASD keys that are a dead match for the defunct Stadia visuals. Fortunately Asus had just enough time to adapt to Stadia’s cancellation, announced back in September 2022, and has instead partnered with Nvidia to offer three free months of its GeForce Now streaming service to anyone who picks up the CX34 Flip....

Wouldn’t it be great if there was one device that could do all of these and more? Depending on your needs, there might just be a solution among 2-in-1 laptops, which have grown rapidly in recent years. There are two main form factors – a tablet with detachable keyboard and laptop with a 360° hinge. Both let you type and touch the screen, and there are devices running Windows, Android, iOS and Chrome OS these days....

It might have been replaced as Apple’s flagship wearable by the Series 7 and Series 8, but there are only a handful of differences between the models. Unless you value a slightly more durable build or a curved-edge display, the Series 6 will probably still provide everything you’re looking for. It’s also where you’ll see most of the big discounts. If you’re considering buying the Apple Watch Series 6 and are based in the UK or US, here’s everything you need to know....

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. The iPhone 13 range is no-doubt premium, but following the release of the upgraded iPhone 14 range, there are great deals to be had on Apple’s year-old smartphone range. Here’s where you can save some cash in the US and UK....

It’s a strange shortcoming, not least because Xperia phones can boast the latest processors and decent cameras, and yet, the company struggles to compete with its biggest rivals in the likes of Apple and Samsung. Look past Sony’s unconventional naming systems; consisting of Zs, Xs and more recently, Roman numerals, and the chart below should help you better understand the current range, as well as which one will best suit your needs and budget....
