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. The Oculus Go

crams all the hardware you need intothe headset itself,making virtual

reality entertainment as immediateand accesible as it’sever been.

Sony has made the PlayStation

4even better withaslimmer,

neater chassis and superior

powerefficiency.It’s as cheap as the PS4 has

ever been as well.

It’s just aseffective asKasperskyTotal Security,but

Security Cloud goesastepfurtherbylearning your

bad security habits and warning you about them.

Besides some subtle visual tweaks, the latest major

updatefor Windows adds some genuinely useful

features, such asFocus Assist and Timeline.

Mojave’s small UI improvements and minor added

features would disappoint on their own, buttogether

theyadd uptoagreat update.It’s free,too,so

there’s no reason nottomake the switch.
