There are differences, though. For one thing the Fire Phone offers a few intriguing features. Firefly is the principal reason for the Fire Phone existing, and has been described as ‘Shazam for the real world’. Using Firefly you can take pictures of just about anything, and the Fire Phone will extract the useful information in a semantic style. See a product you like, take a picture, and buy it. Firefly can be useful, but it is a way of extracting cash from your wallet....

While we played it at Gamescom and you can read our impressions here, we are a little surprised to see an Alpha test start this early – but also very glad that the game is coming along in such an impressive way.

At the time of writing, partner-branded boards are available for around £390 inc VAT....

Maybe the courts won’t actually split Microsoft into two large chunks (Windows and applications) – sometimes referred to as Baby Bills. If the breakup does happen, the process will be long, painful, and wrought with confusion and surprises. But it also could be good for customers, particularly on the applications end. The Baby Bill that owns the Windows operating system would remain the centre of the computer industry. It would still be a near-monopoly, formidably funded and entrenched, able to yank the chains of almost every company in high tech....

Asus’s ET2321IUTH is a mid-priced family PC in a slimline package with understated good looks. Priced at £799 it delivers performance better than we would have expected from its installed hardware and it’s also the only AIO PC we’ve recently reviewed to double up as a digital Freeview TV. The Asus Eee Top PC looks just like a standard 23in monitor, and unlike bulkier designs doesn’t give away the fact that there’s an entire PC fitted inside....

Blu-ray release date Avengers: Infinity War is out on home entertainment everywhere right now. If you’re in the UK you can get a disc version here or the digital here, and in the US you can get it on digital here or on Blu-ray and DVD. There are also special editions of the 4K UHD version exclusive to Best Buy and Target respectively in the US.

However, you can get a taste of 11ac wireless performance on any Windows laptop, with the help of a USB adaptor built for the new upcoming standard. To feel the benefit of increased throughput, you’ll need a multiple-antenna setup. Modern laptops usually have their aerials arranged around the inside of the screen or along the hinge, and having them as far apart as is physically possible improves reception. That’s not so easy with a small dongle, though, which typically has one or two antennae inside....

Best free word processor LibreOffice Kingsoft Office Suite Free Google Docs You might not need a whole office suite, just a word processor.

If you must have Word, then here are a few ways to use Word for free. Now that Microsoft has made a concerted effort to switch everyone to a subscription model for Office 365, it’s even more tempting to opt for a free alternative....

When searching for a power bank to charge a laptop or console, you need to keep two things in mind: can it deliver enough power to charge my device, and is the battery capacity high enough to give the battery a reasonable boost? Laptops and consoles will not charge over a standard USB port: you need one equipped with Power Delivery. These can output up to 100W, but exactly how much you need depends on how much power is required by your device....

Even better, since it’s a standalone headset you don’t need an expensive gaming PC or console to power the VR – the Quest 2 just works, which makes it a perfect first VR purchase.
