Less than a metre tall and weighing just 19kg, even in my drunkest state I’d fancy my chances against Sanbot.

Taking notes on a computer or phone is never going to be as easy as taking notes with a pad and pen. Especially if you used to be a policy debater or ever learned shorthand. You have a method for speedily jotting down all the relevant stuff that’s just light years faster than predictive type and whatever the hell gadgets like the Note 7 promise you can do with a stylus. It’s what makes Wacom’s Bamboo Spark incredibly appealing. It’s a pad and paper that effectively digitises all of your notes, giving you the beauty of the cloud without all the hassle of hunt and pecking on your phone. Read More >>
About a year ago DJI released a self-stabilising 4K Osmo camera that anyone could pick up and use. We liked it, but the downside was that it cost £550. This year the drone-maker is trying something else with the Osmo Mobile. It has the same self-stabilising tech, but instead of built-in camera it uses your phone. Read More >>
Smartphones, smart TVs, smart light bulbs, smart bloody everything. Smart home technology is so hot right now, with this year’s IFA bash absolutely full of the stuff. Even wigs will be connected to the internet. Probably. Hopefully. Read More >>
High-resolution audio purportedly provides a vastly superior listening experience to the highly compressed MP3s we’ve all been downloading for years.

As somebody who still heads into meetings armed with a pen and notepad rather than a gadget, I got the hots for the Lenovo Yoga Book as soon as I clapped eyes on it.

With budget handsets growing increasingly brilliant by the year and flagships… well, continuing to be flagships, you can be forgiven for forgetting about that other tier of smartphones: the mid-rangers. Huawei certainly hasn’t, however, having just launched the Nova. Read More >>
The days of the traditional box-y desktop are numbered. Apple’s Mac Pro and Cyberpower’s Fang Trinity proved that desktops could come in strange shapes. Now HP is grabbing a piece of the new funky shaped pie with the HP Pavilion Wave and Elite Slice. Read More >>

At IFA in Berlin Lenovo announced a nice array of refreshed laptops and tablets, updating great devices like the Lenovo Yoga 900 series (now the Lenovo 910) with 7th generation Intel processors, but one device stood out among the rest. It’s the tiniest laptop Lenovo has on display, so tiny the company is classifying it as a tablet. The Lenovo Book is just 0.38-inches thick, which makes it the thinnest laptop currently available, and makes ultra slims like the half-inch thick Samsung Notebook 9 and Apple Macbook look positively chunky.
