★★★★★
£250•www.argos.co.uk

HDR support is great,
but it’s the 4K Blu-rayplayer
that makes this sleeker,
smaller Xbox One really stand out against
the competing PS4 Slim.

No longer do you need
adecked-out PC or
premium smartphonetoenjoyVR.TheOculusGo
crams all the hardware you need intothe headset itself,makingvirtual
reality entertainment as immediateand accesible as it’s ever been.

Sony has made the PlayStation
4even better with aslimmer,
neater chassis and superior
power efficiency.It’s as cheap as the PS4 has
ever been as well.

APPLEmacOS10.14Mojave
★★★★★
Free•itunes.apple.com

It’s just as effective as KasperskyTotal Security,but
Security Cloud goes astepfurther by learningyour
bad security habits and warning you about them.

In addition to safeguarding your privacy,CyberGhost
VPN is particularly well suited to unblocking content
on different streaming services. Connecting to new
servers could be abit faster,but once you’re connected, everything is
nice and stable.

Mojave’s small UI improvements and minor added
features would disappoint on their own, but together
theyadd up to agreat update. It’s free,too,so
there’s no reason not to make the switch.
