Razer has a reputation for creating some of the best PC gaming hardware. Some gamers swear by the brand and buy nothing but their products. But not everyone is in love with Razer’s often garish, neon-green designs. However, Razer’s latest peripheral, the Deathadder Chroma, is a mouse that anyone can get into. Whether you’re a claw or a palm grip user, it’s a brilliant mouse. The biggest style addition to this mouse is the subdued customizable lighting system that sets the Chroma apart from the competition. And, now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner, you can have this fantastic gaming mouse at a low price, making an already great peripheral even better.   Design The Razer DeathAdder Chroma shares the same dimensions as the regular Razer DeathAdder - 5 x 2.76 x 1.73 inches (L x W x H) Don't worry about slipping with this mouse, as it's made out of a nicely textured hard plastic with grippy rubber on the sides, as well as the scroll wheel. The

We’ve been kicking the idea of the premium Chromebook around for a while now. However, until the Asus Chromebook Flip came around, we never saw this concept so fully realized. We could go on all day about where early Chromebooks faltered, but there’s no need – the Asus Chromebook Flip is everything we want in a premium Chromebook. It’s not quite as performant as the excellent Google Pixelbook , but it doesn’t actually need to be – it’s half the price and not that far off when it comes to performance. This attention to value, without sacrificing performance is exactly what makes the Asus Chromebook Flip so appealing. What’s more, the Asus Chromebook Flip has a 360-degree hinge that has it ‘flip’ inside out – hence the name. At 12.5 inches and 2.6 pounds, the Asus Chromebook Flip isn’t just ‘good for a Chromebook’, it’s one of the best laptops period – depending on what you’re looking for.  Pricing and availability We wouldn’t blame you for doing a double take after seeing the pri

Did you know the Surface Book isn’t Microsoft’s latest flagship 2-in-1 laptop? No, that honor goes to the new, and now more affordable, Microsoft Surface Book 2 – now, read our Surface Book 2 review ! When the Surface Book, well, surfaced back in October 2015, it made massive waves in the computing world. Now, three years later, it’s not hard to see the massive influence the original Surface Book had on the best 2-in-1 laptops . And, because the Surface Book 2 is such a premium laptop, the original Surface Book will be holding a dedicated fan base well into the future. It’s an enduring device that, with a constant flow of updates – like the Windows 10 October 2018 Update – has been growing and evolving since day one. All you need to do is just look at the Surface Book, and you’ll know it’s an expensive device – but it’s worth it. The original Surface Book justifies its high price tag due to the fact that it’s essentially two devices in one, with an incredibly sharp 3,000 x 2,000 d

It’s less than a year since we reviewed the first iteration of Mekamon – a spider-like robot designed to battle others of its kind, or virtual enemies in augmented reality via a smartphone app. Think Pokémon in real life and you’re most of the way there. Mekamon V2 is available in white, black, and a fetching new grey camo pattern. The camo is exclusive to Apple Stores, but all robots are compatible with both Android and iOS. It’s also backward compatible, so V2 bots can battle their V1 counterparts without any trouble. Mekamon’s creator, UK-based Reach Robotics, says it intends to continue supporting its older models, so you don’t need to worry about your bot becoming obsolete when V3 struts into stores. Design The robot itself looks very similar to its predecessor, with four limbs (each with three joints), detachable armor plates, and a pair of removable ‘guns’ atop its torso. The main difference is the light within its head, which now glows different colors to indicate its mood

There's a decent selection of lenses out there for users of Sony Alpha cameras who like to shoot wide-angle images – provided they like zooms. Primes, though, are a bit thin on the ground, with Sony not offering anything wider than the FE 28mm f/2.  That all changes with the arrival of the FE 24mm f/1.4 GM lens, an all-new wide-angle prime lens that sits at the top table of Sony's lens line-up on account of its G Master designation.  Features Features two XA elements 11-blade circular aperture New linear AF motor With the focus on optical quality throughout the aperture range, the Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM sports an optical design that features two of the company's XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements, as well as three ED glass elements.  The inclusion of the two XA elements is designed to control Sagittal flare. What's that you ask? It's a phenomenon that results in an unnatural spreading of point light sources, such as stars, that looks something like a bird

The MSI Trident X is a small machine that packs in a surprising amount of new technology. Gaming grunt comes from one of Nvidia’s new Turing graphics cards , and processing power is delivered by one of Intel’s brand-new Coffee Lake-S processors. Those are formidable core components, but the Trident X isn’t cheap - it’ll set you back $3,700 (£2,900, AU$5,200). Price and availability The $3,700 (£2,900, AU$5,200) MSI Trident X is only available in the configuration that we’ve reviewed here, which is a little irritating – we would have preferred a pricier model with the RTX 2080 Ti , and a more affordable machine with the RTX 2070 wouldn’t have gone amiss either.  MSI could also include lesser CPUs for those who aren’t fussed about having a high-end, eight-core chip. It’s also worth remembering that buying from a local builder will save cash. If you opt for a smaller machine from a company like Chillblast or CyberPower then you can save a few hundred pounds or dollars.  If you’re

In a world that seems to be always connected, it’s easy for companies to become complacent in their use of technology, falling behind along the way. Take the desk phone, for example, an ageing concept in and of itself that some would argue no longer has a place in our offices.   Once tethered to the same copper wire tech invented back in the late 19th century, it should come as no surprise that landlines are fading into obscurity. After all, now we all have phones in our pockets that are capable of so much more than taking analog phone calls. If our smartphones power the world, why aren’t we using them as our primary means of communication in the workplace? Why settle for the rather limited desk phones when you can opt for a pocket phone that runs apps and stores files in the cloud, no questions asked? Well, one of the biggest concerns stacked against advocates for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs is security. It’s crucial not only that we have the flexibility we need to work e

The Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX531 wants to be the thinnest, lightest and most silent Nvidia Max Q machine out there. Thanks to narrow screen bezels, thin chassis and a rigid build, this gaming laptop has succeeded the original Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 in almost every way, while fixing so many problems we had with the original.  Price and availability Available in two flavors at launch in the US (but only one in the UK), we got our hands on the more expensive and powerful GX531GS version of the Asus ROG Zephyrus S equipped with a Nvidia GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics card. This particular version will only be available at Amazon for $2,199 (about £1,730, AU$3,030). At this price point the gaming laptop comes impressively equipped with an Intel Core i7-8750H processor, 16GB of RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD and a Full HD 144Hz display. Outside of Amazon, Asus will be selling a lower-tier GX531GM version equipped with a Nvidia GTX 1060, but still the same processor, 16GB of RAM and 1TB NVMe SSD for $2,099 o

The Surface Go, Microsoft’s latest tablet that aims to be a smaller – and more attainable – Surface Pro has finally arrived. The Surface Go doesn’t bring any major surprises, but maybe that’s a good thing. The Microsoft Surface Go is what the best Windows tablets should have tried to be since their inception – everything you love about the Surface Pro, just smaller. No half-baked operating systems – though the Surface Go does use the oft-lamented Windows 10 S Mode – and no strange app compatibility issues. Everything just works, right out of the box, which is exactly why we love the Surface lineup. Naturally, there were some compromises that had to be made to make a Surface tablet of this size, namely in the power department, so scale your expectations accordingly. The Surface Go is what the Surface 3 should have been years ago – and it was worth the anticipation. Depending on what you actually need, the Surface Go may just be your go-to for everything from work to watching movi

PC Gaming peripheral makers are going to have to step up their game, as SteelSeries proves for the third time in under a year that it knows how to make a nearly unbeatable gaming mouse .  Coming in at just $59 (about £45, AU$70), the SteelSeries Rival 310 is the mid-priced companion to the equally priced Sensei 310 , both of which are going to be drowning in Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2018 deals . Both of these mice sit below the high end Rival 600 at $79 or £79 (about AU$100). The price also puts it competitively close to the $69 (£69, AU$99) Logitech G Pro Gaming mouse and the $49 (£34, AU$59) Cooler Master MasterMouse MM520 . As of this writing, the SteelSeries Sensei 310 and Rival 600 both sit at the top of our rankings for the best gaming mouse. And, after spending plenty of time with the Rival 310, it’s safe to say that SteelSeries is the company to beat when it comes to gaming mice – the Rival 310 joins its siblings at the front of the pack. Design The Rival 310 has a s
