What Next For Apple?
Whatever you think of Apple, there’s no denying its
influence on the computing world. It’s made a business
out of incremental upgrades for its products, but is it
running out ideas? Mark Pickavance examines where it
might go next and questions whether it can stay at the
top of the pile

Gaming Laptops On
A Budget

but what’s even better is if it doesn’t cost you an arm
and a leg. But can you really get a ‘budget’ gaming
laptop? Indeed, what do you need for it to be classed
as being gaming-capable? Mark Pickavance answers
these questions and more in this special feature

The State Of
Mobile Media
Kicking of a short series looking at the state of mobile
technology today, Ian McGurren looks at mobile media.

Pocket Intel
As things stand, ARM is the king when it comes to
mobile CPUs. Intel, so far, has failed to convince the
world it has a worthwhile alternative. Could the
release of the Orange San Diego change that? Kevin
Pocock looks at what it has to offer and ponders
whether an x86 mobile chip is really what the world
wants or needs
