It has been around three years since I have done a Chromebook review and since then the OS has come a long way.

Chromebooks don’t get…
Hp has just announced the HP Spectre Folio which is possibly the best-looking laptop ever made. This folio style laptop is similar in design to the HP Envy X2 which I previously reviewed and loved the design of. However, unlike the X2 with its blue artificial leather cover, the Spectre goes all out and uses a from 100…
Not content on making one of the lightest 15-inch laptops on the planet with the Swift 5, Acer have upped the ante and built the thinnest laptop in the world with the Acer Swift 7.

I was recently invited to London to attend an event with Qualcomm about the new range of laptops that use their Snapdragon 835 Mobile PC Platform running Windows 10. Windows 10 on Arm is one of the more exciting developments in the laptop industry right now as it aims to alleviate many of the issues…
It has been 4 years since I have reviewed any of the Acer Switch line, so I thought it was time to see what this budget 2-in-1 has to offer in 2018. The Switch 3 is quite an attractive option from a consumer’s perspective, it is a 2-in-1 with a 12.2-inch display, that resembles the…
The vast majority of laptop reviews I do are all a bit samey, so it was nice to be sent something slightly different to review recently. The Panasonic CF-XZ6 is one of the niche laptops from Panasonic under their Toughbook range of laptops, and as the name would suggest these are designed to be durable…
Having previously reviewed the fantastic XPS 13 2-in-1 I have recently been checking out the Inspiron 13 7000 2 in 1. The Inspiron range aims to offer an affordable option to the sleek but expensive XPS models. If you are happy to lug around something slightly heavier and slightly larger the Inspiron range is a…
The Dell Latitude 5285 is a business class 2-in-1 designed for workers on the move. Priced from £1,069.00 (at the time of writing) it is a convertible in the same style as the Surface Pro, where it is essentially a tablet with an attachable keyboard. The specification I was sent is the higher specced model,…
We have reviewed the excellent business orientated Dell Latitude 5289 2-in-1 and now Dell has kindly loaned us the consumer orientated Dell XPS 13 2-in-1.

Following my review of the excellent Acer Spin 7, I have been sent the business orientated Dell Latitude 5289 2-in-1. The model I have reviewed is one below the top of the range and priced at £1,127 currently (minus VAT). The specification includes: 7th Generation Intel Core™ i5-7300U (Dual Core 2.60Gz 3MB cache) Windows 10…
In the past year, Acer has rebranded their laptop line-up launching the new Swift and Spin range. Their names are a bit of a giveaway, with the Spin being the convertible line while the Swift is the normal ultraportable. The Spin range comes in 3 varieties, the 3, 5 and 7. The line-up is a…
