Synology DS415play NAS review

Synology DS415play NAS review Expert’s Rating Pros Cons Our Verdict Synology’s RRP for the DS415play is £372 and at that price or the inevitably lower real shop prices the company should have a winner on its hands.

Acer Aspire Switch 10 review

Acer Aspire Switch 10 review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Although the Acer Aspire Switch 10 is very affordable, it’s another hybrid which is neither great at being a laptop nor a tablet. It’s both bulky and fiddly. We like the IPS screen and the multi-mode ability thanks to the magnetic hinge (minus the top heaviness).
