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 smartphoneto enjoyVR. 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
power efficiency.It’s as cheap as the PS4 has
ever been as well.

★★★★★
Free•itunes.apple.com

It’s just aseffective asKasperskyTotal Security,but
Security Cloud goesastepfurther by learning your
bad security habits and warning you about them.

In additionto safeguarding your privacy,CyberGhost
VPN is particularly well suitedto unblocking content
on different streaming services. Connectingto new
servers could beabit 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, buttogether
theyadd up to agreat update. It’s free ,too,so
there’s no reason notto make the switch.
