A robust website monitoring tool delivers data like page load speeds, downtime reports, and unexpected outages, allowing you to ensure your business stays online and visible at all times. Uptrends is a renowned website monitoring tool offering features like synthetic transaction monitoring, browser monitoring, and real user monitoring. Plus, you only need to pay for the features you use thanks to a per-feature pricing structure. Read on as we lay out the best features, pricing, ease of use, and support options of Uptrends. We’ll also compare it with a couple of its top rivals to see how it stacks up. Uptrends: Plans and pricing Uptrends follows a fairly different pricing structure than its peers. Instead of bundling features in different plans, it offers each feature separately. Here’s how much each feature will cost you. This way, you’ll only have to pay for the features you want to use. For instance, small businesses and startups may only need uptime monitoring, which costs j...

This review first appeared in issue 342 of PC Pro. Lenovo’s P series of laptops is designed for speed, with more expensive configurations than this offering discrete workstation-class Nvidia processors to tie in with its ISV certification. The P14s is a slimline version, which means less powerful chips and – in this case at least – integrated graphics. But don’t imagine it’s slow: turn to the graphs and you will see the ThinkPad P14s vying for top position in many tests. That’s despite the fact it includes a Ryzen 5 processor with six cores compared to the 12 found in the Core i7-1260P, with AMD’s strength due to them all being fast performance cores. Lenovo supports the AMD Ryzen Pro chip with 16GB of high-bandwidth LPDDR5 memory, although this is soldered to the board; if you want more, upgrade to 32GB at the time of ordering for an extra £90. You can replace the 512GB SSD yourself, with a handful of crosshead screws in your way, but doing so will void the generous three-y...

This review first appeared in issue 342 of PC Pro. HP offers a staggeringly large array of business laptops , with the 800 series sitting in the mid-range. If you want lower prices, choose the 600 series; for the lightest designs, head to the 1040 or Dragonfly series. Even within the 800 series there’s a huge choice, so if you prefer a 2-in-1 design or AMD chips there will be something for you. The 840 G9 is based on Intel’s 12th generation Core chips, in this case the i7-1255U. With only two performance cores, it’s no match for the i7-1260P in tasks that exploit multiple threads, but it will blast through everyday jobs with ease. Its low power demands also helped the 840 G9 last for between nine and 14 hours in our battery tests, and if the 256GB SSD isn’t big enough, you can open up the chassis and add a second (but physically smaller) M.2 SSD. At 1.5kg it isn’t the most portable machine around, but it’s sleek and – for a business laptop – stylish. There’s no Ethernet port...

JBL Flip 7: Two-minute review Meet the news boss, handily better than the old boss and even more of a class-leader than before. JBL has not rested on its laurels with the Flip 7, the latest version of its all-conquering portable Bluetooth speaker series, and the result is an obvious front-runner that will leave its nominal rivals gasping. You get plenty of power (35 watts, in fact) to motor its two-driver speaker array. You get 14 hours of playback (16 if you’re happy to do without some low-frequency presence). You get Auracast compatibility and the chance to listen to genuinely hi-res content if you hard-wire the Flip 7 to an appropriate source via its USB-C socket. You get access to a good control app, the ability to form a stereo pair with another JBL Flip 7, and your choice of quite a few vibrant finishes. What’s almost best is the sound the JBL makes. By the standards of small-ish portable speakers, it’s an open and detailed listen, punchy but controlled at the bottom end, ha...

Codev is a no-code platform that relies exclusively on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help transform natural language descriptions into web apps. In this review we’ll delve into its features, interface, ease of use, integration and extensibility, deployment and maintenance, pricing and documentation, and compare it with its competitors. Codev: Features Codev is one of the simplest no-code platforms, which also makes it one of the easiest to get started with, even for first timers. As we’ve mentioned, Codev is one of the growing number of no-code platforms that leverages AI to create apps. The use of AI makes it dead simple for non-developers to create web apps without writing a single line of code. All you need to do is describe your app idea in regular English, and Codev will take care of the rest. The platform will analyze your input to build your app together with all the necessary components, styling, and functionality for the app. You can then again use AI to keep refini...

Astro A50 Gen 5 review: one-minute review (Image credit: Future) Logitech’s Astro sub-brand has a sizeable lineage, offering competition-grade audio solutions for years now, and the A50 Gen 5 is able to easily maintain that status quo at a (slightly) lower price point than the Astro A50 X , one of the best wireless gaming headsets we tested last year. Much of the Astro A50 Gen 5 is built on the same very impressive foundation. It’s packing graphene drivers, which not only sound great but also contribute very little in terms of weight, while the whole design feels well-built without ever feeling uncomfortable for longer periods of use. Audio sounds excellent, with a broad soundstage that packs in plenty of bass without distortion and plenty of high-end without tinniness, and I found myself using it for listening to music almost as much as I did for gaming. Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic are included, as well as the option to pipe in Bluetooth audio from an external source —...

Fujifilm GFX100RF: one-minute review Fujifilm's GFX100RF is the brand's first-ever compact camera with a medium-format sensor, marrying the image quality of the 102MP GFX100S II with an impossibly-small Fujifilm X100 VI rangefinder-style body. 'Compact' is perhaps a stretch, but that's the category that this premium camera falls under by virtue of its built-in lens, which is a super-sharp 35mm f/4 optic with a 28mm equivalent focal length. Fujifilm has prioritized compact lens proportions over aperture versatility, and the maximum f/4 aperture and lack of optical stabilization are potential dealbreakers. However, for pixel peepers and resolution-craving photographers, the GFX100RF's quality is unmatched in this class, even outdoing the Leica Q3 . Here is the silver version of the GFX100RF. It's also available in an all-black version. (Image credit: Tim Coleman) Beyond its image quality, the GFX100RF feels premium in every way. The top plate, ...
