Computing

An exceptional machine, but he is critical of Apple's vague 'up to five times faster' claims and the missing power brick in the EU.

Calls it the most recommendable laptop in the world, despite a disguised price hike from removing the lower storage option.

Barely updated after four years and still 60Hz at $1,600, so he suggests buying the old model for half the price.

Pricey 2TB phone SSD that can record ProRes straight from an iPhone, and is tough and well designed.

Bonkers RGB showpiece that still types well with lights off; joint score of 8.

A heavy, well-damped everything board with OLED display and great sound; scored 8 out of 10.

Still a mushy membrane board, only slightly better than the $2 one, scored about 1 out of 10.

Scissor switches and wireless make it better than cheaper boards, but it is still poor, scored 2.5 out of 10.

A gasketed tactile board with great browser-based software that he would happily gift, rated about 6.5 out of 10.

A thin, portable mechanical board that beats the Apple keyboard, with a great knob; scored 5.5 to 6.

A rollable membrane keyboard that barely counts as functional, scored 0.1 out of 10.

A big step up with mechanical switches and RGB, but it rocks, clangs and has clumsy software; about 4 out of 10.

Great for gaming with adjustable actuation and rapid trigger, but one of them felt it was lots of function and not much keyboard; scored 6.…

The Apple rival that costs $100 more and has a 60 Hz display.

A good mini tablet with a big battery and 120 Hz display that undercuts the iPad Mini, though it didn't blow him away.

Fun branding with a cheeseburger key, but the keyboard is mushy with big gaps between the keys.

Stunning, refined keyboard with lovely low-resonance typing; he rated it 9.5 and wants to import one.

Delivers on its promise with one cable, but the screens are basic and it is too niche for him to use.

The writing feel is excellent, but it is heavy and the pen is plasticky for the brand.

Looks lovely, but the symmetrical shape is awkward and the Logitech is the logical choice.

Impressively built from solid aluminium, but the steep slant and ordinary feel made it uncomfortable to type on.

A deceptive $160 tablet with a poor 720p screen and fake storage figures; he says not to buy fake tablets.

Used as the thin, light benchmark against a fake tablet; no direct opinion of the iPad itself.

Adjustable stand but dimmer, with worse colour than the cheaper ASUS.
