Samsung Q70T QLED TV

Image
The all-new Samsung Q70T QLED TV boasts much of the feature armory found in Samsung’s more expensive QLED 4K screens, but doesn’t come with such a punishing price tag – making it a great buy for folks who can't reasonably spend a couple thousand on the flagship Samsung Q95T . Despite using an edge-lit design, its imagery is bold and bright, connected platform is top notch and, if you’re planning to buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X , it could well be your cheapest route to high frame rate 4K gameplay. Gamers get ready, this could be the 2020 QLED TV you've been waiting for. Price and release date The Samsung Q70T QLED TV is the lower-to-mid model of Samsung's 2020 QLED TV range that starts with the Samsung Q60T and shoots up to the 8K Q950TS.  This series is available in 55-, 65-, 75- and 85-inch screens sizes called the QE55Q70T, QE65Q70T,QE75Q70T and QE85Q70T respectively in the UK, or the QE55Q70T, QE65Q70T,QE75Q70T and QE85Q70T respectively in the US. The sample sent to...

LG Gram 17 (2020)

Image
Two minute review When you pick up a 17-inch laptop like the LG Gram 17, you're likely expecting a device that is packing the most powerful hardware on the market, while simultaneously being big, bulky and heavy. Well, what if we told you that none of that is true about the LG Gram 17? If you want to get your hands on the LG Gram 17, it'll set you back $1,749 (£1,549, about AU$2,450). For a 17-inch laptop with a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage – not to mention the 1,600p display, that's actually quite a bargain. Comparitively, the HP Envy 17 is cheaper at $1,399 (about £1,070, AU$1,960) but that's with single-channel RAM with its closes hardware configuration, and a much heavier 6.02 lb build – twice the weight of the LG Gram 17. The laptop is packed with a top-end Intel Core i7-1065G7, but it's configured down to a 15W TDP, down from the 25W that you'll find in some more powerful configurations. To further hamper the maximum performan...

Servo S10 Pro mini rugged smartphone

Image
Where to buy Banggod sells the Servo S10 Pro  for $145.99 at the time of writing. Note that, while this price includes delivery, it is exclusive of any taxes that may be levied by the relevant authorities or the courier companies on behalf of the vendor.  It’s been a bit more than two years since we reviewed the Unihertz Atom , the first and until recently, the only rugged mini smartphone. Its initial Kickstarter price, $159, attracted a lot of interest, with more than 5,000 backers pledging a staggering $1.3 million. Tiny rugged smartphones may not seem so much of a niche market after all. The Servo S10 Pro is the second smartphone targeting that audience, one that has an even cheaper price, $145.99.
