Opinion

OPINION: Billie Eilish caused a bit of a stir (seemingly with Taylor Swift fans) when she commented on the state of vinyl releases for Record Store Day when she talked about the wastefulness of multiple releases. And she made a pertinent point about it. And it’s not just multiple vinyl releases that should be viewed […]

It’s the first of two May bank holiday weekends, but that doesn’t mean we’re taking a break from calling out our winner and loser of the week. 

OPINION: This coming Tuesday, Apple is holding yet another showcase event where it’s expected to unveil a new range of iPads. And if rumours are to be believed, the next iPad Pro will be powered by the Apple M4 chip.  Renowned Apple leaker, Mark Gurman, reports (via Bloomberg) that Apple could launch an M4-powered iPad […]

The OnePlus Pad can be found for just £60 more than the Pad Go, so what's the point in the cheaper tablet?

It’s Sunday, meaning it’s time for us to pick our winner and loser of the week. This week it's Adobe vs TikTok.

OPINION: If you could plot the future of where audio devices are going, it’d be a line that splits into various, branches. There might be some overlap, some convergence, but mostly it seems as if audio brands all have different ideas of what the future will be. Some have jumped down the direction of wearable […]

Xbox is becoming more and more open, but it won't make me ditch my PS5.

OPINION: Huawei's smartphone cameras have always been some of the best around, but without Google Play, most Westerners miss out.

The Europe exclusive Nordic Blue OnePlus Watch 2 might be my favourite wearable of 2024 so far

Apple has just announced its next big product event will take place on May 7, and here’s everything we expect to get revealed at the show. Apple’s Let Loose event looks set to see the launch of a slate of new iPads. We’ve been waiting for these updates for a while now, with 2023 notably […]

It's time for another edition of Winners and Losers. This week, Apple AirPlay arrived in hotels as Amazon hid a cheap Prime Video tier.

OPINION: As you might have noticed, Sony has revealed what it’s bringing to the TV market for 2024 and it’s got the AV sphere of the Internet all hot and bothered.

OPINION: I’ve longed for Windows laptops with more interesting designs ever since I started reviewing tech products five years ago. Most attempts have floundered and now a larger iPad Air is set to extend Apple’s design lead. In many cases, Windows laptops represent function over form. Picture a Windows laptop in your head and there’s […]

Google is quite rapidly stripping back features of Google One. In fact, it has now got to the point where I’m considering cancelling my subscription altogether. 

With Record Store Day 2024 almost here, I’d thought it be worth turning this column’s eye to that of the vinyl world and the renaissance of a physical format some had cast out to the side. Quite what stirred the re-interest in vinyl I’m not sure about – like with recent resurgences in VHS and […]

It’s the weekend again, meaning it’s time for us to reveal our winner and loser of the week. This week its Apple vs Google.

Apple looks to be going all in on AI for its M4 chip. Here's what it needs to do.

OPINION: Pixel owners are now able to download the first Android 15 public beta. I don’t usually rush to download these pre-launch software updates, despite owning a Pixel phone, but this time is different due to its promise to get notifications under control.  In recent weeks, I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with the number of […]

Tis the season, the new TV reviewing season that is, as the newest models arrive for review.

And ahead […]

The first week of April has been a relatively quiet one in tech but that doesn't mean we didn't hear any good (or bad) news.

OPINION: Valve is the undisputed king of PC gaming, with Steam proving to be the most popular PC digital storefront in the world. However, Valve would be naive to stand still with the ever-growing threat of Microsoft’s Game Pass. Game Pass is a subscription service offered by Microsoft, with a monthly fee granting access to […]

OPINION: Samsung struggled to compete with the Z Fold 5 amidst increased foldable competition, but that could change with the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

OPINION: Even before the pandemic, there was always a conversation around burning off calories through VR as the medium encourages you to be far more active during gameplay in a way that consoles rarely do. Fast forward to today however and that conversation has ramped up considerably. Hop on the Meta Quest store and you’ll […]

OPINION: This year's Pixel 8a might be a little bit too capable

OPINION: New Apple Vision Pro Immersive Video content arrives, but it’s well overdue. It’s just a reminder of why you shouldn’t buy one yet.

OPINION: Two Pixel 9 Pro models, with the same cameras and different display sizes, would be a mass…

OPINION: Earlier in March I was given a tour of the Sennheiser Headphone factory in Tullamore, Ireland (more on that in future articles), and while I was there I was given the opportunity to listen to the Sennheiser Orpheus HE-1. Now while I wouldn’t say that I have some sort of audio bucket list, the […]
