GoPro Hero 6 Black  Most Advanced 4K/60 video Shooter Without the Shakes   GoPro has announced its latest flagship action camera, and while it weighs in at £499 and is therefore £100 more expensive than last year's model, it's because it can safely be called the company's most technically advanced yet. The GoPro Hero6 Black is capable of shooting video in 4K at 60 frames per second. It can also shoot 1080p at 240fps for extreme slow motion playback. However, GoPro itself is most excited about the camera's video stabilisation, which it claims is the "most advanced" of any Hero camera in the company's history. All of this video processing requires some serious grunt, and that comes courtesy of GoPro’s new custom GP1 processor. This is used to analyse your video footage and sensor data for improved automated QuikStories using machine learning. These are GoPro’s automatically edited and cut together videos and looks to remove some of the pain po...

Acer Spin 7 The World’s Thinnest Convertible LapTop   If you’re in the market for a convertible ultra-portable, there are many solid options to consider. However, if your criteria include a slim and sturdily built body, a larger screen and especially fanless hardware, you’ll only be left with a handful of picks and the Acer Spin 7 is one of them. We’ve spent some time with it lately and we’ve gathered out findings in this article. The Spin 7 is built on a Kaby Lake Core Y hardware platform, which is its main selling point and at the same time the main reason why this might not be for you. A Core Y laptop like this one won’t offer the performance you can expect from a Core U device with multitasking and more demanding loads, yet it can still handle everyday activities like browsing and watching videos perfectly fine. At the same time, it runs dead-quiet and requires less energy, which actually allows the OEM to create a slimmer computer with a smaller battery without sacrifi...

HP’s Pavilion AIOs Stunning All-in-One PC   HP announces its new Pavilion all-in-one desktop computers. They will now sport a more premium look with a revamped design and slim bezels. There will be three available models – one Pavilion 27 and two version of the Pavilion 24. As you can guess, the number associated with the Pavilion lineup resembles the screen size in inches. The most important aspect of the updated design is the screen bezel. HP has adopted the sleek- looking edge-to-edge design with its new range of Pavilion AiOs. Particularly interesting is one of the two Pavilion 24 models which has an almost bezel-less design. The so-called micro-edge display has a bezel just 8.5 mm thick which results in a beautiful look and amazing viewing experience. The other Pavilion 24 model and the 27-inch version have a slightly thicker bezel but still very thin. However, they can be configured with a QHD display while the micro-edge Pavilion 24 supports only Full HD reso...

HTC U11 The Squeezable Phone with Bluetooth 5.0 Support Incoming   The HTC U11 is the 2017 flagship device from the struggling Taiwanese phone-maker. Coming on the heels of the disappointing sales of its high-end model from last year, the U11 has had a lot to prove in order to keep HTC in the smartphone game. The HTC U11 ia the world’s first handset with hug-friendly haptics. Those squeeze-sensitive touch panels at the sides give you a new way to interact with your phone, one that won’t have you tapping on a touchscreen. Is it unique? Definitely. But is it enough to buy a phone for? There’s more to it than that, of course. Picking up where the HTC 10 left off last year, the U11 packs in top-end specs, a laser focus on sound quality, and a set of AI assistants that are meant to streamline your life. The name might seem confusing but HTC is continuing the numerical series it started with the HTC One M7 and tagging it onto the end of the more recently U range of glass ph...

Sony Xperia XZ1 Sony's cheaper version of the Xperia XZ Premium   Smartphones are beginning to put a lot of faith in unique gimmicks in a frenzied effort to stand out from the crowd. Case in point: HTC’s squeezy phone – the U11 – was equipped with pressure-sensitive sides for quick-launching applications.  The Xperia XZ1 is Sony’s (slightly cheaper) alternative to its flagship XZ Premium. It’s not quite as low-priced as its XZ1 Compact alternative, but with it comes a Full HD 5.2in display, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. There’s a 19-megapixel camera on the back, which supports 3D scanning (more on that later), and it runs Android 8 Oreo out of the box. But who can blame them? At a time where smartphones are essentially big rectangular slabs of metal and plastic, it’s getting trickier for smartphone firms to stick out from the masses. Sony’s new mid-range Xperia XZ1 joins this pack of showoffs, with a 3D-scanning feature unlike any other, but is i...
