DVBlogic TV Butler review

DVBlogic TV Butler review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The idea is good, but the execution is flawed. Installation is painful and the user experience is far from slick. We’d like to see a multiple-tuner option and an integrated video player with an interface closer to Netflix or Amazon Prime. As it stands, the TVButler is only for techies who want to be able to watch recorded TV on their mobile devices....

HP EliteBook 1020 G1 review

HP EliteBook 1020 G1 review Expert’s Rating Pros Cons Our Verdict Build quality is faultless and the 1020 G1 has twice the USB count of the MacBook, if less compact and with half the battery life. The reflective touchscreen is the main blight on an otherwise superbly machined executive laptop, which is why we’d recommend the non-touch version instead. Even so, the MacBook is cheaper at £1049 and, unless you specifically need Windows, it’s the better buy....

Asus Transformer T100HA review

Asus Transformer T100HA review Expert’s Rating Pros Cons Our Verdict The new processor is as slow as before but increased economy let it provide a further hour of tortoise operation.

The Transformer T100HA is a Windows tablet much like theMicrosoft Surface 3, but it comes with a keyboard and costs considerably less....

Oukitel K6000 budget smartphone review

Oukitel K6000 budget smartphone review Expert’s Rating Pros Cons Our Verdict The Oukitel K6000 is big and heavy, which is necessary to support the massive 6000mAh battery that’s large enough to fully charge a second phone. Battery life has been kept in mind throughout the entire design process, which means performance is nothing to shout about. But if you need a large-screen phone that keeps on going and going then the Oukitel K6000 offers great value....

Sonos Play:5 review

Sonos Play:5 review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Aside from the lack of High-Res support, there’s very little to dislike about the new Play:5. It looks great and sounds awesome with plenty of power on offer. We like the new touch sensitive controls, the wide range of streaming services on offer and a decent app which now has Trueplay. It’s another set of high marks. Sonos launched its Play:5 wirelessspeakerback in 2009 but there’s a new model here to replace it....
