BEST OF COMPUTING
ASUS
Best Motherboard Brand
It is likely their aggressive coverage for every market segment that earned ASUS this recognition, from its ROG gaming series and ProArt for creatives to business and workstation models for both Intel and AMD systems.
Intel
Best CPU Brand
With just one year under their belt, AMD has relinquished the Readers' Choice Best CPU Brand award back to Intel. And judging by the votes, it would seem Intel's efforts with their Performance Hybrid Architecture that started with 2021's 12th Generation "Alder Lake", and refined in 2022's 13th Gen "Raptor Lake" have put them back firmly in the lead.
D-Link
Best IP Camera Brand
We had to double (triple) check the results for this year's Best IP Camera Brand category because the outcome for the top 8 brands in the list were exactly the same as last year. D-Link retains the win with 19% of the votes, though Samsung continues to nip at their back with 18%.
Logitech
Best Webcam Brand
A new category introduced last year, Logitech has now won Best Webcam Brand twice in a row, but results show that this may be an untapped market with lots of room for other players to grow.
Secretlab
Best Computer Chair Brand

How To Secure Your Smartphone
WE COVERED THE IMPORTANCE OF A STRONG password earlier. And this also applies to your smartphone too. While using your birthdate can seem convenient, if you wouldn't use that on your PC, then you shouldn't use it on your phone either.
Ryzen AI Enters The Fray
This review covers the flagship processor in the lineup, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which features a powerful 12-core, 24-thread configuration, 36MB of cache, and Radeon 890M graphics.
IT'S UPGRADE TIME
As the tenth anniversary of the Apple Watch approached, rumours about a revolutionary device with a dramatic design change swirled-the Apple Watch X. But as it turns out, we got the Apple Watch Series 10 instead.
Intel Core Ultra 2 Shines
With a week of hands-on experience with the ASUS Zenbook S 14 powered by Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V, it's clear that Intel has created a chip that's a serious contender in the ultraportable space.
Smaller, Lighter, Smarter
When it comes to second-generation products, you expect improvements, and the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 certainly delivers.
AN ATMOSPHERIC ATTEMPT
Taking on a remake of Konami's classic Silent Hill 2 was always going to be a daunting task. Enter Bloober Team, the studio behind other psychological horror titles like The Medium and Blair Witch. While those were solid efforts in their own right, Silent Hill holds a special place in the hearts of horror fans, and any attempt to update it was bound to be scrutinized.
BASIC, BUT COMPETENT
Following the success of the Nothing Phone (2) and Nothing Phone (2a), the company launched its sub-brand, CMF by Nothing, aimed squarely at the budget-conscious.
LENOVO YOGA SLIM 7X
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x stands out in terms of build quality and design. With a thickness of just 12.9mm and weighing a mere 1.28kg, this laptop is incredibly portable.
COMFY, SECURE, AND OPEN
With the Nothing Ear (Open), the company has focused on elevating the open-fit experience with a stylish design, secure fit, and surprisingly solid audio quality.
The Emperor Of Mankind Approves
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 puts you right in the middle of the Imperium's most brutal battles, and it does so with an unapologetic embrace of its own absurdity.
