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.
