You just bought a new CPU or graphics card, and fired it up in your PC. It seems to run pretty cool, so you try a bit of overclocking. The gigahertz climb higher and higher, and it looks like you’ve got yourself something special. It’s surely not supposed to be like this? So you rush…

Verdict Built to take the annoyances out of toasting, the Haier I-Master Series 5 Toaster 2 Slice has an anti-dust lid that sits on top when it’s not in use and extra-deep slots that will take large slices of bread. It’s simple to use, covers the basics (and a bit more), and toasts evenly on…

Verdict The Neff N90 T66YYY4C0 is a stylish induction hob, with a choice of four colour trims. Not just a pretty face, the Twist Pad Flex control makes this the easiest hob to control that I’ve ever tested, while its flexible zones and precision temperature sensor make it ideal for cooks that demand the best.…

Verdict The Razer BlackWidow V4 75% is a good enthusiast-facing mechanical keyboard. It’s well-built and provides a marvellous typing experience with Razer’s Orange switches while also featuring good acoustics, vibrant RGB lighting and good software integration. Compared to some of the competition though, it is quite expensive. Pros Solid build quality Great soft tactile switches…

Despite good sound, wireless performance and battery life, the noise-cancelling prowess (or lack thereof) is a big disappointment. Pros Warm, engaging audio Battery life longer than expected Strong wireless performance Affordable Cons Weak noise-cancelling ANC affects sound…

Verdict The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is an excellent low-profile gaming keyboard. It’s stylish and well-built while offering a snappy and smooth typing experience. Dual wireless connectivity makes it easy to use, and its RGB is both bright and vivid. Armoury Crate is still a point of frustration, though. Pros Gorgeous looks Smooth…

Verdict Costing far less than most of its rivals, the Beko CaffeExperto Bean To Cup Coffee Machine Steam Wand is an easy-to-use bean-to-cup machine. Its espresso was a little cool but generally good quality. Milk frothing doesn’t give you a lot of control over the steam, but with a little practice you can get decent…

Verdict Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 Super is an intriguing new addition to the lineup. From a purely generational standpoint, it’s not that exciting. If you already own an RTX 4070, you should stick with it. However, standalone the 4070 Super continues to dominate, particularly at 4K and 1440p, where in our testing suite average framerates…

Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the first GPU to be released in the new “Super” series refresh, and it will be slotting in at the MSRP previously occupied by the RTX 4070. The RTX 4070 Super uses the same AD104 silicon as the other 4070 series products, but with significantly more silicon enabled…
