The arrival of USB 3.0 technology has allowed for external devices to operate at similar speeds to internally connected storage, and to achieve that performance both internal and external drives must use solid-state technology. SSDs are quicker than conventional hard drives, less susceptible to shock damage, use less power and they’re not limited by the physical constraints of drive shapes and sizes.If that’s a recipe for the perfect mobile SSD, then the Samsung T5 must be the proof of this pudding....
Back up your videos, photos, games and music at up to 5Gbps in a chassis that is compact enough to fit in your palm. It uses a USB 3.0 connection and is also compatible with USB 2.0, but at a lower write-speed of 480Mbps. Our editors reviewed the WD My Passport and gave it 4 stars out of 5. The version Tech Advisor reviewed offered cloud storage too ( which you can find for £113), though the internal hardware is the same....
Seenda’s IBT-C04 Music Mouse is an interesting concept: a wireless mouse that also operates as a speaker and allows you to accept handsfree calls over Bluetooth. Although it might fulfil a need you never knew you had, the Music Mouse is certainly unique. See all computer mice reviews. With Christmas coming, Seenda’s relatively inexpensive £19.99 IBT-C04 is a potential stocking filler for those difficult friends and relatives who already have everything....

Why a slow cooker encourages healthy eating It makes cooking easier The key to healthy eating is to make the healthy option the easiest one, especially when you’re most likely to be tired and hungry. Cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients is much harder work than sticking a ready meal in the microwave and waiting for the ping. Or slumping on the sofa until your delivery food arrives. If you’re hangry and exhausted at the end of the day and you still have to prep your ingredients and wait for them to cook, you’re much less likely to eat well....
If you’re interested in a heated blanket that’ll cover you on the sofa or in bed, have a look at our review of the Glamhaus heated throw. I’ve been testing the king size Silentnight Comfort Control electric blanket during a cold snap in the UK and have been grateful for what it provides – a quick way to heat up your bed before you hop in, at a relatively low cost compared to central heating or plug-in heaters....
When is the Sonos Smart Speaker release date? Following a 4 October launch event, the Sonos One has become available to pre-order direct from Sonos. Delivery is slated for 24 October. The Google Assistant support will be available in 2018. How much is the Sonos One? The Sonos smart speaker costs £199 in the UK, which is roughly twice what you’ll pay for Echo and Google Home, but with more audio muscle inside....
It was clear that Sonos had a new product on the way and it was a toss-up between this Bluetooth speaker and the highly anticipated Sonos Headphones. Well, the wait goes on for a pair of cans but the firm is still in a better place to rival the likes of Sony, Bose and others. Sonos Roam release date As expected, Sonos announced the Roam at its launch event on 9 March and leaked details were right about it getting a release date of 20 April....
Not many people are likely to be able to justify dropping over £300/$300 on a pair of headphones, but if any set should tempt you to, it’s probably these. Price & availability That might sound like a lot, but it’s right in line with a few key rivals like the Bose QC35 II or Microsoft’s more recent Surface Headphones. Essentially, if you want flagship noise-cancelling headphones, this is about how much you’ll have to pay....
En este caso, hemos querido acercarnos al modelo de auriculares para gamers de Sony, los Inzone H9. Aunque el diseño no será del gusto de todos y aunque podrían mejorar en algún que otro punto, los H9 de Sony siguen siendo unos auriculares muy capaces, destacando sobre todo en el campo de la calidad del sonido (gracias a su audio espacial y su cancelación de ruido brillante) y en la autonomía de la batería....

The range includes the Streamplify mic, with simple USB connectivity and Plug & Play support that works with Windows, Mac and consoles, and most importantly, it’s impressively affordable.

Well… Design and features The Streamplify USB mic is designed as an entry-level device for those new to the world of streaming and podcasting, and the general design and build reflects that....
The main difference is that one is a tablet and one, as the name reveals, is a laptop. However, you can buy a keyboard for the Surface Pro 6 and it effectively becomes a laptop and you’ll see this keyboard in most photos of the Surface Pro because, well, it makes a lot more sense as a laptop because Windows 10 still isn’t a great operating system for tablets....
A traditional CCTV system is the alternative, but until recently that meant you’d have to live with it being offline and have no alerts or access to the footage from your phone when out and about. Not any longer: there’s a new generation of CCTV with mobile apps and internet-connected DVRs. Here we take a look at Swann’s four-channel kit which can be expanded with an extra four cameras for a total of eight....
I recently purchased a Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone. Part of the reason for doing so was its 41Mp camera, however, I don’t seem to be able to access any of its high resolution images. I have it set up to shoot in the highest resolution mode, which says ‘JPEG (5 MP) + (38 MP)’, but whenever I attempt to share any of my pictures, I can only gain access to the 5Mp versions....

Do you need to splash out on the capable Quest Pro or would the Quest 2 or Pico 4 suit you better?

So it was a nice surprise to find a message on my Echo Show 15 this morning prompting me to update. A few taps and a quick five-minute download later and the update had been installed, complete with a shortcut to the Fire TV interface in the top-right of the Echo Show 15’s UI. As expected, turning the Echo Show 15 into a Fire TV really does make it a more compelling offering....
While the phone isn’t going to be what anyone would call cheap at a spicy £1235 ($1595) for the titanium version, the promise of supposedly revolutionary holographic technology has the industry very excited. Known as ‘4-view’ the goal is to provide a glasses-free 3D image that will allow you to look around and behind objects that are being displayed, showing off multiple perspectives. If this makes it out to consumers and is everything it says it will be that will be one impressive leap....
Available in black, white or red, the Sony can be plugged into the mains where it will act as a charging dock. It also has an internal rechargeable battery for use on the go. Up to 5 hours of playback can be enjoyed from a single charge, but the 13W audio output drops to 4W when running off its battery. You can skip backwards or forwards through tracks, pause songs and adjust the volume via the bundled remote control....
