ASUS and its TUF Gaming brand bring out all the stops with a 28" 4K gaming monitor with 144Hz, 1ms response time, G-Sync, Freesync and HDR 400. Is it enough to warrant the £750 price tag?  

With plenty of shared technology between the two, we put Apple's 2021 iterations of its iPad tablets through their paces to determine whether the small and speedy iPad mini is a better prospect than the larger iPad 9th Gen which lacks some features but is still great value.  

For its latest Pixel 6 and flagship Pixel 6 Pro smartphones, Google has introduced its own, years in the developing, Tensor chip which optimises the way hardware and software work together. Does this Apple-style proprietary processor deliver the goods?  

The ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router offers an incredible package for just £125. Including gaming focused features, free security protection, VPN support and more!  

Apple's seventh iteration of its Watch is only the second time it's undergone a design change and the bigger, brighter display hides some modest improvements under the hood such as faster charging and a new dust proof rating, as well as plenty of colour, face and strap options.  

Apple's iPhone range for 2021 includes the high-end iPhone 13 Pro and flagship iPhone 13 Pro Max which share most of the latest features, differing only in screen and battery size.  

The world's first curved gaming monitor with Mini LED and Quantum Matrix Technology, 49" 5120 x 1440 resolution, HDR 2000, 240Hz and more than you could possibly want on a monitor! Could this be the Ultimate Gaming Monitor?  

TP-Link's RE605X Wi-Fi 6 Range Extender offers dual band AX1800 speeds with a single Gigabit Ethernet port and compatibility with the OneMesh feature, all for just under £80.  

The Oculus Quest 2 delivers an awesome VR experience with no wires or even the need for a PC or games console. Facebook may be mining your personal data, but at this price who cares?  

TP-Link's Archer GX90 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router offers a very promising package for the £250 outlay. Including gaming focused features, 2.5Gbs Ethernet port and more!  

Netgear's RBK853 Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System promises to offer everything you could possibly need and more to create the fastest, full coverage home network you are ever likely to need, but that does come at a hefty cost of £940!  

Fancy releasing your opinions on an unsuspecting public and sounding good while you do it? AKG’s Podcaster Essentials could be exactly what you need.  

TP-Link's £295 triple unit Deco X20 mesh Wi-Fi system promises whole home Wi-Fi coverage including seamless roaming, greatly reduced lag, anti-virus and parental controls.  

A fully functioning Windows 10 Pro PC with 64GB storage, 4GB RAM, dual band Wi-Fi, all the same size as a choccie bar? Surely, you cannot be serious. I am and don't call me serious.  

The flagship iPhone 12 Pro Max features the series' best cameras and biggest screen. Does this put it ahead of the competition as well as its stablemates?  

The iPhone 12 Pro takes the iPhone 12 series staples of 5G connectivity, an OLED display, A14 Bionic chip, Ceramic Shield protection, MagSafe accessories and Dolby Vision recording and adds an extra camera and depth sensing LiDAR scanner. Does this make the already good even better?  

The iPhone 12 range is Apple's first to feature 5G connectivity and there's also a move from LCD to OLED displays. Throw in a brand new 5nm A14 Bionic chip, Ceramic Shield protection, MagSafe compatible accessories and the ability to record video in Dolby Vision and the price rise over last year might just be seen as acceptable.  

Curves a-plenty with Samsung's 32" 1440P gaming monitor. Featuring a 1000R curve, 1ms response time and lightning fast 240Hz refresh rate, could this be the perfect 1440P gaming monitor?
