Typical of the ZenBook range, it gets you more spec-per-pound than a lot of rivals. The Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA is also incredibly thin and light, without compromising battery life. However, in aiming for a new-design MacBook style, Asus has also used rather annoying a rather annoying keyboard and trackpad combo that make it less enjoyable for all-day working than some of Asus’s cheaper ZenBooks. Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA review: Price Asus loves to wave two fingers at Apple....

We’ve spent some time with the Asus Zenfone AR, and here’s what we thought. Update: Google has announced that it is shutting down its Project Tango program, deciding to instead get behind ARCore, the company’s equivalent to Apple’s ARKit. Announced in a tweet, Google will end support for Tango on 1 March 2018, at which point no more apps and games will be available to download. This is bad news for the Zenfone AR and its array of Tango sensors, as content for the platform is already scarce and it won’t be getting any better....

For small business owners that may not know much about accounting, finding the best software tool to help manage that is another task to tackle....

The Pixel 2 looks to improve on that with a new design, new colours and, hopefully, even better camera. The Pixel 2 XL has a wide 18:9 display that makes it stand out, but even the smaller Pixel is a looker and is sure to perform excellently with the Google software complimenting its own hardware.

The Pixel 5 is a slight change in strategy for the tech giant, shunning high-end flagships for a more affordable device that nails the basics. That means it’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G and 8GB of RAM, although performance is never likely to be an issue here. You also get a 6in 90Hz display, dual rear cameras, 4080mAh battery and Android 11 out of the box, all for just £599/US$699....

We’d recommend looking for a good deal on more expensive headphones, rather than buying a pair that’s cheap all year round. Not only is the build quality likely to be quite poor on headphones with an RRP of £30 or less, but they’ll also offer a bad audio experience that we’re sure you’ll want to avoid. There are still some decent cheap pairs from the likes of Sony and Philips though....

For more ways to save time and money, we also explain how to get a cheap flight online. Thought we haven’t included it as a service below, a great way to search for a hotel is to use Google Maps. It works well on both laptops and phones: tap the pink hotels button in the Explore tab and it will overlay the map with prices so you can see where the hotels are located (the most useful part) and how much they charge per night....

A lot of these tips apply to the Mate 20 too, except for Face Unlock and Always on screen as it doesn’t have these options. Face unlock Settings > Security & privacy > Face recognition > Require eye contact You probably set up face unlock when you first unboxed your Mate 20 Pro. But for some reason Huawei doesn’t enable the ‘require eye contact’ option. This means anyone can point the phone at your face and it will unlock even if you have your eyes shut or don’t look at the cameras....

Tech21 make high quality tech protection, and in some instances we prefer its cases to the official Apple alternatives. This particular model shows off the colour of your iPhone (if you pick the clear one), while the rubberised back and bumper means your iPhone is safe from knocks and drops. If paired with a screen protector, you could easily chuck it in your bag and not worry about scrapes and scratches....

If you’d rather be able to see more of the iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6s Plus’ original design, but still want tough protection for your phone, we like the Case-Mate Tough Naked. The design may be minimal, but the protection is not. A rubber bumper protects the edges of your iPhone and raises the screen from flat surface, while a hard scratch-proof shell clips on to the rear. Metal button accents give it a premium look....

But the Surface range has come on leaps and bounds since then. The original Surface morphed into the Surface Pro, joined by an affordable alternative in the Surface Go – both of which work with a keyboard cover. Microsoft also makes regular laptops, with the thin-and-light Surface Laptop and budget alternative in the Surface Laptop Go. But the detachable Surface Book has now been retired and replaced with the Surface Laptop Studio, a true 3-in-1 device....

We’re not expecting a new Surface Duo in the next few months, with Microsoft thought to be prioritising the software this year ahead of a potential Duo 3 in 2023. Considering the premium hardware, it’s easy to see why. Despite being Microsoft’s latest and greatest phone, the Surface Duo 2 has still been heavily discounted in recent months. Very low stock means Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are unlikely, but you can still save big if you’re based in the UK....

If however you’ve seen all the flicks you’re interested in – or you’ve managed to binge the entire library with all the time spent in the house in these trying times – then there’s still more films to look forward to over the next few months.

Motorola Razr Foldable phones have been a stalwart of science-fiction for years, and while 2019 did see the emergence of the Samsung Fold and Huawei Mate X, the former had serious issues with the display, and both were incredibly expensive. 2020 should see the arrival of a different style of foldable phone in the form of the Motorola Razr. Rather than folding out to a squarish tablet, the Razr is an old-school flip-phone, with the noticeable exception that the entire inner surface is one continuous display....
