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.TheOculusGo

crams all the hardware you need intothe headset itself,makingvirtual

reality entertainment as immediateand accesible as it’s ever been.

Sony has made the PlayStation

4even better with aslimmer,

neater chassis and superior

power efficiency.It’s as cheap as the PS4 has

ever been as well.

APPLEmacOS10.14Mojave

★★★★★

Free•itunes.apple.com

It’s just as effective as KasperskyTotal Security,but

Security Cloud goes astepfurther by learningyour

bad security habits and warning you about them.

In addition to safeguarding your privacy,CyberGhost

VPN is particularly well suited to unblocking content

on different streaming services. Connecting to new

servers could be abit 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, but together

theyadd up to agreat update. It’s free,too,so

there’s no reason not to make the switch.
