With a price that is considerably below most of its competition and a fraction of the price of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, against which other PDF editors tend to be judged, Tracker PDF XChange Pro is one of the cheapest PDF editors intended for business use. Do you only get what you pay for, though, or is it more the case that the competing products are decidedly over-priced? Find out here in our Tracker PDF XChange Pro review....

Venturer BravoWin 10KT review: UK price and availability At this price it’s roughly in line with the Chuwi HiBook, a Chinese hybrid tablet-laptop that dual-boots Android and Windows and costs £143.42 from Geekbuying. Performance is much the same, but the Chuwi has a significantly better build. The trade-off, of course, is the uncertainty of buying the Chuwi from a Chinese importer, and the fact you’ll have to pay extra for the keyboard and may incur a fee for import duty....
As with many Android tablets and smartphones, you can use it for email, Facebook, gaming, media playback and so on. It can also be used as an external 1920 x 1080 display for a PC, games console, TV set-top box or Blu-ray player. As a touch-controlled display, with a touch-focused system like Windows 8, and at its price of £500 there are already dozens of low-end Windows 8 all-in-one PCs from the likes of Lenovo and HP....
One such feature is Battery Health Management for the Apple Watch, a feature recently seen adopted on macOS. 9to5Mac reported that the Watch will display information like the Battery Health section on the iPhone, showing the battery’s maximum capacity along with a toggle for optimised charging. Leaving the toggle on will allow the Watch to learn your charging habits and adjust accordingly. Because lithium-ion batteries degrade over time if constantly charged at 100%, it should help lengthen the lifetime of a battery if you tend to charge your Apple Watch all night....

Sound too good to be true? Plenty of people think so, with lots of uncertainty about how MoviePass makes money, what the company is doing with user data, and why they have the support of any cinemas. Here’s everything that you need to know. How much does MoviePass cost? MoviePass costs $9.95 per month, which originally allowed users to watch one film every day. That’s all changed though, as the company battles to find a route to profitability....
ScreenX first launched globally in 2015, but only reached the UK in 2018, exclusive to Cineworld. We’ve seen it in action ourselves, so here’s everything you need to know about ScreenX: what it is, how it works and whether it’s worth paying extra for. What is ScreenX? Between 3D, IMAX, D-BOX, 4DX, and more, a modern cinema trip is filled with attempts to persuade you to pay a little extra for some sort of premium experience – usually sold as being more immersive than a regular cinema screen....
And in case you’re wondering, yes, there is a still a big difference in quality between most phone cameras and the types we’re talking about here. Phones still have relatively small sensors and lenses which limits them. Plus, most have no zoom and rely on ‘digital’ zoom which is the same as enlarging an image in Photoshop. However, today’s best phone cameras are very good and may well be all you need....
VPNs are simple to use, and they’re no longer something only businesses need: everyone should use one for both privacy and security. A VPN service works on all your computers, from the PC to laptop to phone and tablet: it’s as easy as installing the app and entering your username and password. When you’re connected to the VPN service, any data sent between your device and the internet is encrypted so no-one can read it....
But this isn’t just another new processor. The company’s latest chipset is an industry-leading 7nm thick, but still delivers a number of key enhancements to the user experience that make it worth considering for your next device. For many years, Intel’s Core series has been considered the industry standard for laptop and PC processors, and as such few manufacturers have deviated from what they know best. However, huge value can be found in opting for the Ryzen™ 4000 series, a chipset which has been designed with speed in mind....
That’s the consensus from Reddit, with many of the 79 current comments on the update mentioning problems. A Microsoft software engineer authored the post, but the company is yet to officially acknowledge any issues associated with it. Nonetheless, we’d expect a patch to be rolled out relatively soon. Unfortunately, many people will have already suffered the effects of this update. Not only is Windows 10 the most popular gaming platform worldwide, this update was also specifically designed to fix the long running ‘PrintNightmare’ vulnerability once and for all....
20 ministers dialled in via the Zoom software, with only the Prime Minister and Health Secretary Matt Hancock present in the room. While millions of people are using Windows 10 to effectively work from home during the coronavirus outbreak, its significance to those in power has perhaps been underestimated. Tuesday’s meeting saw an important update from the UK’s Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty, making it crucial in the attempts to beat the virus and save lives....
By default, Windows 11 continues to download and install various updates automatically. You may not notice this is happening until you go to turn off your device, with a restart required for most updates to be applied. However, you might prefer to have more control over which updates are installed on your PC, and when downloads take place. Whether you just need a brief break from updates or something more permanent, here are four ways to turn off automatic updates in Windows 11....
There are two bugs here, but the first kicks in before you can even install it. In Microsoft’s official forums, several people say they haven’t been able to get the KB5012643 update running on their device. Some suggest the problems begin when installation begins, while the download freezes while in progress for others. The latter is what happened to user John Sedona, with Windows Update Troubleshooter even suggesting the problem was detected and fixed....
That’s certainly been the case since Windows 11 arrived on 5 October. The new OS is a free upgrade for all compatible devices, with frequent reminders of its benefits via TV ads, social media and within Windows 10 itself. However, it doesn’t appear to have had the desired effect – yet. According to a survey of more than 10 million PCs by IT Asset Management company Lansweeper, just 0.21% of all devices were running Windows 11....

Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Price & Availability It’s available slightly cheaper at BangGood, at £233.20/US$309.99/260.90€, but remember that you will be liable for import duty (at least in the UK). This is calculated at 20 percent of the value on the shipping paperwork, plus an admin fee of around £11. Our sample was actually supplied by GearBest, which is now stocking the 128GB storage model at £379.17/$521.93/434.80€. Bear in mind that all three vendors are selling the phone unlocked, so you’ll need to supply your own SIM (check out the best deals)....
In fairness Xiaomi phones aren’t intended to be sold in the UK, and it’s not its fault if we don’t all speak the same language.Also see: Best Xiaomi Phone However, with that in mind I’m extremely pleased to see GearBest is stocking the International Edition of Xiaomi’s flagship Mi5s on its site. This version is preinstalled with Google Play and select Google apps such as Gmail (any others that you require can be downloaded from the Play Store), and it removes all the Chinese-language apps and notifications you don’t understand....
