» Apple recently released a number of new devices. The most lauded and advertised release may arguably be the latest iteration of its smartphone, the iPhone 11, but it's also got a few other devices that may have slipped under your radar. Thinking of getting one as a Christmas present but unsure whether it's worth your hard-earned cash? We've got a cheat sheet for you.
For those perfect Netflix and chill moments

» Sporting a rather hefty combination of an Intel-Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM (upgradeable to 16GB), the Lenovo Yoga 910 is no doubt one of the more powerful ultra-thin hybrid laptops currently on the market. It also sports a pretty decent battery, offering almost 10 hours of use per full-charge, something that greatly enhances its purpose as a portable (1.3kg) working laptop.
4K may save the day for Blu-ray

» As I predicted a number of years back Blu-ray discs never really made it into the market in the same way that DVDs did. With the advent of 4K that may change, or at least the Blu-ray industry is hoping that it will. It turns out that 288,000 4K Ultra Blu-ray discs were sold in the first half of 2016. The 4K discs were only released last year and they are only worth it if you have a 4K Blu-ray player and a TV to match. According to the British trade association BA, a third were sold between October and Dec as gifts so looking for a trend at this point is hardly conclusive. Since to take advantage of the technology means replacing major components in your home entertainment system, then I expect it will be as slow as the original Blu-ray to be adopted. Given the TV world is not transmitting in 4K this may provide some temporary boost but I don't see it being a major one. Also to keep you confused most "4K" TVs sold are actually Ultra HD (3840x2160) and not 4K (4096x2160).
Let it all go with Pokémon

» The Pokémon Go game is taking the smartphone world by storm. Like Ingress before it, it is a real world location based game so you physically have to get out of the house to play it. Unlike Ingress, it has a cartoon character so kids love it but mums and dads don't so much because they have to drive their kids around to out of the way places to get the next Pokémon. This is another game by Niantic, a group within Google and the ones who built Ingress. The game was also quite insecure on iOS phones but that was apparently fixed with a patch. There have been no issues reported by Android phone users.
Companies play the upgrade waiting game, MS massages its stats

» Microsoft recently made the claim that they had sold 90 million copies of Windows 7 since it reached the manufacturers in July last year. What actually happened then was that OEMs were told to put Win 7 on new machines by default. So the word "sold" is a little misleading here.
