Of course, real-world speeds are much lower than this, but for an AC1900 router the Synology is one of the less expensive in its class....

You can find ultraportables cheaper than the £1000 Kira, but Toshiba has invested in quality components for this small notebook to provide a more premium product. Its 13.3in display is a high-grade IPS type which gives superb image quality, and its full-HD resolution in this size means a higher 166 ppi pixel density for sharper text and graphics. The casework is magnesium alloy bottom to top, thinner and not as solid-feeling as an aluminium unibody MacBook Air but lighter overall, under 1....

The game will enter open beta on the 22nd of February. At this point there will be no more progress resets, so anything you unlock on your account will be permanent from that date. Have a look at Creative Assembly’s next Total War title, Three Kingdoms.

So it is with the Vivo V23 Pro. The first in the series to earn a ‘Pro’ moniker, it’s really the Vivo S12 Pro re-branded for the global market. Still, in ethos this earns its spot in the V-series thanks to a clear focus on design and its dual selfie camera – even if it’s a shame to see the superior OIS front camera from last year’s V21 not make a return....
