Even with the PS5 on the market, the PS4 is still an essential console in Sony's history, and frankly, it still performs incredibly well when put alongside its next-gen companion. However, you will struggle to find a PS4 brand new these days. You’ll have to opt for the PS4 Slim since even the PS4 Pro has been discontinued . The original PS4's release date was November 15, 2013, in North America and 29 November 2013, in Europe, and it won the hearts and minds of many. Since then, it’s proven to be a massive success for Sony, selling tens of millions of units. That’s at least partly because the PS4 is a console with a fantastic and still-growing library of games. It’s the home of some seriously generation-defining exclusives like The Last of Us Part 2 and Marvel's Spider-Man . But it’s also now a last-generation bit of kit. As time goes on, Sony is discontinuing models, and they are becoming harder to find brand new. If you’re not overly concerned with having the latest ...

Denon DHT-S517: One-minute review The Denon DHT-S517 wants to maximize the sound your money can get you. This is a Dolby Atmos-ready, soundbar-plus-wireless-subwoofer system, configured to serve up a 3.1.2-channel interpretation of movie soundtracks. From its tidy dimensions, to its adequate build and finish, the DHT-S517 is an unremarkable object with deadly serious aspirations. Setting up the Denon DHT-S715 is simple. Input options are adequate. The subwoofer and the soundbar form a wireless connection almost as quickly as they’re plugged into power. If ‘ease of use’ is important to you, this Denon will be just the ticket – it’s genuinely hard to suggest ways in which it could be less taxing to operate. It's one of the best cheap soundbars for those who don't want any fuss. The way the Denon DHT-S715 delivers movie soundtracks is equally gratifying. It serves up a big, expansive sound that’s immersive and easy to follow, even if it doesn’t maximize the full potential of D...

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D: Two-minute review The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is finally here, and it is worth the wait. First introduced back in early 2022 with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D , AMD's 3D V-Cache technology has proven itself to be an incredible value-add for Team Red that makes AMD's chips seriously competitive against even the best Intel processors . Even with the non-3D V-Cache variant of AMD's flagship processor, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, you were getting a seriously powerful chip that made a worthy rival for the i9-13900K, but the extra gaming performance that 3D V-Cache brings to the table is something to see in action, and it really is AMD's not-so-secret weapon here — especially if you're playing esports titles at 1080p where the speed of the processor is far more important than having the best graphics card . Even more surprising was the improved creative performance that 3D V-Cache brings to the 7950X3D. I had to retest the 7950X3D's video encoding performa...

OnePlus Pad: Two-minute preview Mobile manufacturer OnePlus has established itself as a producer of some of the best Android phone s in recent years, and the company has finally decided to dream bigger with the release of its first tablet, the OnePlus Pad.  First announced during the global launch of the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Buds Pro 2 on February 7, the OnePlus Pad was unveiled to journalists at MWC 2023 , and I was able to get some hands-on time with the device ahead of its release later this year.  The OnePlus Pad seems to be a key part of OnePlus' attempt to replicate the ecosystem-building we’ve seen from Apple and Samsung over the last decade. By offering the OxygenOS experience on the big screen, this is a device that will feel immediately familiar to existing OnePlus fans, but the premium features included here could be enough to catch the eyes of newcomers, too.  (Image credit: Future / Axel Metz) For starters, the OnePlus Pad boasts an 11.61-in...
