Surface Pro 3 vs Surface 3 comparison: what are they? The simple answer is that both the Surface devices are Windows tablets – slates that run full Windows 8. But the truth is better, if more nuanced. The Surface Pro 3 is a game changer: the first truly portable power PC. It is both a Windows tablet, and a more-than-useful Windows laptop. With all-day battery life and full PC power in a slate that you can slam into your backpack, the Surface Pro 3 is more MacBook Air than iPad, and in a much smaller device....

Note: Ubisoft has announced the sequel. Read all about The Crew 2, which is scheduled to come out in early 2018. The Crew is a massively multiplayer racer which means it’s best played online – it can’t really be played offline. The undoubted highlight is Ubisoft’s scaled-down map of the United States which offers a huge and varied open world to drive around with practically no restrictions. (See also: Grid Autosport review) The game promises a lot, calling itself a ‘next-gen driving game’, but while there are moments of brilliance and gratification, there are arguably too many failings to make The Crew great overall....

The iron is a new take on the first product launched by the Funky Appliance Company. The independent British company kicked off a couple of years ago with the first iteration of the Funky Iron, which was initially crowdfunded to the value of £100,000. The Funky Appliance Company takes small household appliances and gives them a design-led overhaul. The signature look is retro space age, curved and shiny. There doesn’t seem to be much that’s revolutionary about the products’ functionality but in a marketplace focused on functional-looking items, it’s always nice to see design-led items that don’t have a premium price tag....

While it’s not hard to find free apps to read PDF files, finding effective tools to edit PDF can be a lot more challenging. On the one hand, the big-name professional packages are expensive, with complex features and interfaces that go beyond the average small business’s requirements or expertise....

The short answer is that you’d be right. If you can afford it, get the latest standard as you’ll benefit later as you acquire more Wi-Fi 6 devices. The Deco X60 looks quite pricey compared to many Wi-Fi 5 mesh systems, but as it’s dual-band rather than tri-band, it’s not even close to the most expensive tri-band options (such as the Netgear Orbi). As well as being a bit more affordable, the X60 also claims to provide 7,000 square feet of Wi-Fi coverage, or 650m²....

The Hammer S adopts the same aviation-grade aluminium frame as the older UMI Hammer, but now features 2.5D curved glass. It’s a good-looking phone, and should prove pretty tough. Larger in size and weight than the 5in Hammer, the Hammer S has a 5.5in HD screen and a higher-capacity 3200mAh battery – an important upgrade for those who have found it difficult to get the 2250mAh battery inside the Hammer through a full working day....

Moreover, it runs on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system. If you are an Android geek like me, who is never satisfied with the specs and always wants something more to try on their phones, then you would want to root or install custom firmware on it....

What is 4K? Put simply, 4K is four times the resolution of ‘Full HD’ video. Most current TVs have a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, which is called Full HD. That’s a misnomer of course, because 1920×1080 isn’t the highest possible resolution. 4K refers to the number of pixels across the image, which is almost 4000. The actual resolution of most 4K devices is 3840×2160. This is why it is also called 2160p on some phones and cameras....

But it turned out that Apple wasn’t quite done with the ageing smartwatch just yet. Indeed, some owners claim that watchOS 8 runs better than 7 did on their Series 3. Even if that is true and Apple has used its technical wizardry to make a five-year-old smartwatch run faster on newer software, I still have to ask the question, why is Apple still selling the Apple Watch Series 3?...
