Sony PlayStation 4 Slim review

 

Three years after the launch of the PlayStation 4, Sony revisited its aging console to give it a new lease on life. As with previous PlayStations, the refreshed console has a slimmer new look, a few new features, and even some minor internal upgrades.

Faster Wi-Fi can make a big difference Smaller chassis with fun design Same great PS4 game library More affordable than ever

No more optical port More powerful PS4 console also available

Yes, if you don’t already own a PS4. The PlayStation 4 Slim is the most affordable version of this generation’s most popular console and, therefore, a great way to experience all of the amazing games this generation on a budget. However, if you can...

Fantastic controller ; Handsome console ; Simple, game-focused interface

Sony PlayStation 4 review

 

The PS5 is nearly here - should you still bother buying the current-gen system?

Games look and sound great ; Good selection of non-game apps ; Decent AV performance

No CD or DLNA support ; Not as good as a dedicated disc player

Next-gen gaming is a glorious reality but you’ll have to make do without some last-gen features

Fitbit Sense Review

 

Attractive design with large, always-on color display ; Excellent battery life ; Measures blood oxygen level ; Features an ECG app ; Robust stress management and sleep tracking features ; Supports Amazon Alexa, Fitbit Pay, Spotify

Expensive ; Touch screen responsiveness could be better ; Band release latch can be accidentally triggered ; Small third-party app selection

Fitbit's premium, pricey Sense smartwatch puts a focus on your well-being with the ability to measure and monitor your stress, heart rhythm, skin temperature variation, and blood oxygen saturation.

Sony PS4 review: The go-to for gamers

 

A lot can change in a few years. This is the fourth time we've sat down and had a good, hard think about the PlayStation 4 since its 2013 launch. On its third birthday, the Sony PlayStation 4 finds itself as part of the front-running console family....

Heaps of top-notch games, can play HDR games (if you have a compatible TV), finally adds media and app/streaming capabilities absent at launch, holds masses of future potential

Media streaming can be fussy, 500GB storage insufficient, Store download prices often absurdly high, no 4K video, PS4 Slim and Pro put question mark over this original console

On its third birthday, the Sony PlayStation 4 finds itself as part of the front-running console family. It's the one to buy if you find it for a bargain, otherwise the PS4 Slim is the natural (and near-identical) replacement . If you want 4K gaming and...
