The Good: Dell’s nearly edgeless display makes the XPS 15 a complete joy to work on, and especially to watch video content.

As part of their Swift series of laptops, Acer launched the Swift 3, 5 and 7 earlier this year — an attempt to please people with varying budgets and performance requirements.

Just like TVs, computer monitors don’t usually come with the best of speakers — often producing flat and tinny sound. Speaker systems like the Edifier M3200BT are a great way to add some style to your desk setup without breaking the bank at just under £50. And what’s more, it’s packing 34 watts of power…

Well, HP’s new Pavilion Wave desktop PC is the kind of product that will certainly stand out in the computer/PC aisles — mainly because it hardly looks like one. Sizing…
Thanks to our sponsors F-Secure for making this giveaway of F-Secure Booster possible! It’s inevitable that over time, as you install new apps, download new files and generally use your PC or Android devices they’ll slow down. However what many people don’t realise is that instead of splashing out money a brand new device, apps like F-Secure Booster can optimise your…
I’d like to send a big shout out to F-Secure for sponsoring Let’s Talk Tech this month. Over time, computers and devices get worn down by use and cluttered up with files you don’t really need. Failed batteries, slow operations and time-consuming maintenance makes people think they need to replace their device, but they often find the same problems…
I’m currently out in Belfast for Acer’s Live Blog event where I’ve had the opportunity to check out some of their newest products, notably the gaming range of “Predator” PCs, laptops and tablet. Now I wouldn’t call myself a hardcore gamer, but the one product that caught my eye is the Acer Predator G1 — a much more compact…
