Toshiba Satellite Radius 11 review: Build and design In its gold-effect lacquered finish, the L10W looks quite smart, featuring a painted coarse-textile effect on its smooth lid back and genuine textured plastic underside. Powering the compact laptop is an Intel Celeron N2840 processor, a budget dual-core design designed for low-end consumer laptops. This is clocked at 2.19 GHz and has a little scope to run faster, to 2.58 GHz, using a what Intel calls Burst Technology, believed to be a more basic version of its Turbo Boost Technology....

Powerline is a simple technology that uses the power cables in your home to act like networking cables—so taking much less time to shuttle data around your building. It’s super easy to set up. You just plug one base adapter into the power socket near your modem/router, and then connect those two devices together with a supplied Ethernet cable. Then you plug the second adapter (and third and fourth if you need them) into the socket near your TV, Sky box, Tivo, games console, laptop, desktop PC and so on....

If you’ve got an old pair of speakers lying around, they needn’t sit gathering dust so put them to good use. Here’s how to turn any speakers into a wireless streaming system. You don’t need to put those old speakers you’ve got on ebay; why not create a wireless streaming system out of them with a Sonos Connect:Amp? If your speakers are passive, or non-powered, then this is just the piece of kit you need....

All three phones are identical, though the hardware specification has changed somewhat. The main difference between the UMI Z and UMIDIGI Z Pro was the latter’s 2x 13Mp Sony IMX 258 dual-camera, which has been swapped out in the Z1 for a 13Mp and 5Mp setup. Its third 13Mp selfie camera has also been swapped for a 5Mp version, but despite the Z1’s seemingly inferior specification the good news is photographic quality appears to have improved....

Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 review: Pricing and availability So before we go any further, just how expensive is the Vodafone Smart Ultra 7? The Smart Ultra 7 was designed to be a budget smartphone that allows more people to use 4G (notable Vodafone’s 4G network, but you could probably get it unlocked) and as such, has a price tag to match. The Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 will set consumers back £135 on Pay as you Go, while Vodafone is also offering it on contract – £19 PCM will get you the smartphone along with 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data....

With the most recent major update and the introduction of cooperative Raid Battles, Niantic has granted that request. The ‘moveset’ your Pokémon have has become much more important with the advent of Raids, so it’s great that you can now ‘teach’ your ‘mons new moves. As well as new berries, Niantic introduced Technical Machine (TM). TMs let you change either the fast move or the charged move of one of your Pokémon....

However, Built It is a better way to gauge interested in the different concepts before putting them into production. It launched on 17 February in the US. Only projects you back that hit the goal will result in you being charged, and that happens when the device ships. Any Build It concept that doesn’t hit the goal simply doesn’t get made. The progress bar for each product is an easy way to see the percentage progress towards the goal....

The streaming platform hosts a lot of NBC classics such as SNL, Cheers and The Real Housewives, as well as being home to new exclusive originals like the 30 Rock reunion special, revivals of Punky Brewster and Battlestar Galactica and more.

The huge demand for the NES Classic and SNES Classic consoles proves that people are keen to play old games again, but there are still plenty of classic consoles that haven’t had modern updates yet. If you don’t mind skirting into a legal grey area you can always track down emulators or third-party retro consoles, but for the really authentic experience you’ll want to buy the originals. So whether your idea of retro means the Gamecube and PS2, or goes way back to the Atari or Commodore 64, we showcase a number of websites and shops that provide an easy, simple way to buy retro games in the UK....

So, why would you want satellite connectivity in a smartphone and is it something you should look for when next upgrading? What is satellite connectivity? Normal mobile communications are handled by signals sent and received via cell-towers. The problem with these is that you have to be within a certain range of the tower for your signal to be strong enough to use for calls, messages and data. That’s why you have signal bars on your phone’s status bar, indicating how strong or weak the signal is....

In order to set up using a local account instead, you’ll need to use Windows 11 Pro instead. That’s according to our sister site PCWorld, which cites a source close to the company. Microsoft is offering a free update from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but only from the corresponding version. In order to access local account setup, you’ll need to upgrade your existing PC from Windows 10 Home to Pro....

It performs rather like an entry-level gaming system too. With a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5-4670 quad-core processor at the helm and an AMD Radeon R7 265 graphics card, you know some games are bound to find their way on to the Wired2Fire Diablo Reactor. In our graphics tests, this PC held its own against the competition, turning in fast framerates similar to Chillblast’s Fusion Pharaoh; but costing a whopping £130 less....

It’s no surprise that these earphones were on the menu for the launch event, considering Xiaomi tweeted about them a couple of days ago asking who couldn’t wait for them while mentioning the full name in a hashtag. Well as the slightly long name suggests, the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 Basic are a more simplified version of the flagship headphones. Despite their low price tag of £49, they offer ‘environmental noise cancellation’ by way of dual-mics, meaning they can “filter background noise and ensure crystal clear sound quality for phone calls and music playback....

Highlights in its spec include a similarly huge 5500mAh battery that can charge up to 71% in an hour over Quick Charge 3.0. There’s also a new dual-camera (12Mp + 5Mp) with dual-pixel autofocus and 1.4um large pixels, while the front camera supports AI Face Unlock. Powering the show is the Snapdragon 636, a 14nm chip from Qualcomm that promises improved performance and efficiency. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Price & Availability You won’t be able to buy the Mi Max 3 direct from Xiaomi in the UK, but you will be able to pick it up from a Chinese importer such as GearBest or Geekbuying....

Not as revolutionary as the bezel-less Mi Mix with which it shared its launch event, and with much in common with the now discontinued Galaxy Note 7 in terms of its design, the Mi Note 2 has in the most part been wrongly overlooked by the technology media. That’s a real shame, because this is a really nice phone and, leaving aside its ‘only’ full-HD but still brilliant flexible OLED panel, a true competitor to better known flagships....

The watch was originally announced at the tail end of 2020 but finally saw a release in March 2021. When did the Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite launch? The Watch Lite appeared on Xiaomi’s global site back in December last year, with little fanfare at the time and no formal release date. In markets, including the UK, it now looks as though the Lite was destined to launch alongside the standard Mi Watch and as part of the regional release of the company’s flagship phone – the Mi 11, all of which landed on 16 March....
