The Switch Lite
can’t be used
with aTVlikethe standard Switch, nor can you
detach its controllers, but with alower price,more compact design
and all the same power,it’s still agreat handheld console.

No longer do you need
adecked-out PC or
premiumsmartphone to enjoyVR. The Oculus Go
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’sascheap as the PS4 has
ever been as well.

Inadditiontosafeguardingyourprivacy,CyberGhost
VPNis 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.
