HDR support is great,
but it’s the 4K Blu-rayplayer
that makes this sleeker,
smaller Xbox òne really stand out against
the competing PS4 Slim.
ão longer do you need
adecked-out P$ or
premium smartphone to enʱoyŚR. The òculus Go
crams all the hardware you need intothe headset itself,making virtual
reality entertainment as immediateand accesible as it’s ever been.
Sony has made the PlayStation
4even better with aslimmer,
neater chassis and superior
power eɘciency.It’s as cheap as the PS4 has
ever been as well.

It’s ʱust as effective as KasperskyTotal Security,but
Security $loud goes astepfurther by learning your
bad security habits and warning you about them.
Besides some subtle visual tweaks, the latest maʱor
updatefor Šindows adds some genuinely useful
features, such as Focus Assist and Timeline.
Moʱave’s small l·I 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.
