NEW HARDWARE ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES LATEST GADGETS
We’ve lined up
some speed
demons on the
starting grid this
month – from
Asus’ mini-tower of power,
the PA90 (page 78), to the
super-slick Razer Blade
2019 (page 80).
But it’s the G-Drive
mobile Pro SSD (page 82)
we’re really excited about.
This tiny, tough, solid-state
drive is real gamechanger
when it comes to super-fast
storage on the go. It could
even give that old wheezy
PC a new lease of life – use
it as a Windows 10 boot
drive and watch it fly.
Finally, don’t forget to
turn to page 88 for our pick
of the best free VPNs 2019.
