AMD has finally announced its most affordable option for the current generation of motherboards, but what does it offer over the previous generation or the overclocking friendly B550 chipset? For this comparison, I will ignore the X570 chipset, if you are considering A520 I doubt you will be persuaded with the premium-priced X570. One big…

After not reviewing a tablet for years, this is the third in the past few months. The Android tablet market is not the best, most companies appear to have abandoned the concept of tablets. This has left Samsung and Huawei fighting it out. Samsung is the way to go if you want a high-end device,…
Sonos may dominate the world of multiroom streaming speakers, but they are not necessarily the best all round. Bluesound has supported hi-resolution audio formats from the beginning, offering a key feature that Sonos, previously, did not offer. Things have changed a little since the launch of the Sonos S2 platform, which now offers hi-resolution formats,…
