NEW HARDWARE ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES LATEST GADGETS

The march

of the laptops

continues, with

new models

flooding from

the usual suspects.

We’ve got a great 2-in-1

model from HP this month,

along with something quite

special. The Asus ROG

Mothership isn’t really a

laptop – we wouldn’t want it

on our lap – but it’s the

highest-specced portable

computer we’ve seen. As far

as you can call something

that needs two power bricks

portable, anyway.

To balance it out, we’ve got

a group test of Ultrabooks,

and Samsung’s bendy phone.

Whichever you choose,

enjoy your PC.
