BenQ refuses to chase the trends everyone else is – and after two interviews, I understand why
Away from Computex 2026’s busy show floor, I sat down with two senior BenQ executives at the brand’s Taipei HQ. The conversations covered very different ground – esports monitors and workspace lighting – which don’t have much in common on the surface. However, the same theme kept surfacing in both. BenQ has spent years building…

Every year, Apple unveils the latest version of iOS with the kind of polish and fanfare you’d expect from one of the biggest tech companies on the planet. And this year is no different, with WWDC 2026 playing host not only to the reveal of iOS 27 but also to the much-anticipated Siri AI, finally…

The 2026 World Cup is here, and if you’re still thinking about buying a new TV to watch the tournament in, we’d like it if you could take a beat and consider these five key features. Big sports tournaments are usually when retailers bring out the big discounts, but before you snap up the cheapest…
AI, unique headphones and the future of health – the very best tech I saw at GCS 2026
Following my trip to the Macao-based Beyond Expo, I have also been travelling across China to find some of the most interesting tech around. I attended the Global Connect Show in the futuristic Chinese city of Shenzhen and came across some rather interesting products. Some new, some already on the market and some others that…
Exhausting a portable AC through your fireplace sounds genius, but it’s not worth it
OPINION: I was on Facebook the other day, and something caught my eye: someone was using the fireplace to vent their portable AC out through the chimney. Genius, was my first reaction. I live in a Victorian terraced house, which can get very hot in the summertime, and trying to get a portable AC unit…
Tim Cook’s final WWDC is looking pretty Siri-ous
WWDC 2026 is Tim Cook’s final Swan Song ahead of him leaving the firm later this year, and it gives him one opportunity to scrub clean one of the biggest blemishes on his time at Apple: the botched launch of the redesigned, smarter Siri. Now don’t misunderstand me; Tim Cook has been a force to…
The Asus ROG Xbox Ally X20 is my dream handheld – but there’s a frustrating catch I can’t get over
If you purchased an Asus ROG Xbox Ally X handheld when it launched, I wouldn’t have blamed you. In my own review, I called it “the definitive Windows handheld to buy”, and at the moment, I still stand by that verdict – it remains an excellent choice. However, Asus has just announced the new ROG…
The Framework Laptop 13 Pro wasn’t the flashiest laptop at Computex 2026 – but it might be the smartest
As the old saying goes, you can’t necessarily have your cake and eat it. When it comes to premium ultrabooks and even the mere thought of repairability and modularity, that’s been a definite for a long time, although the new Framework Laptop 13 Pro I’ve spotted at Computex 2026 proves you might finally be able…
How I used technology to help with my daughter’s epilepsy
When my daughter was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), it meant a lot of changes for us to help manage her condition. While epilepsy is different for each person, and it can change over time and with medication, we knew that we’d have to help manage it. My daughter’s epilepsy started suddenly one morning…

Sony’s 1000X The Collexion headphones launched this week, and it marked a fork in the road for Sony. The new headphones mark 10 years of the 1000X series, but this isn’t a limited edition to celebrate that occasion.
