New Macs offer more than ever before
Got an older iMac, MacBook Air or other Apple computer you’re thinking of handing down to someone in your family?

Stay in touch this school year with online services including VoIP
Hopefully you’re enjoying the summer of your life right now, taking every opportunity to get outside and soak up these long, sun-filled days.

Why would anyone want a super-sized tablet?
After a few years where tablet makers raced to get smaller products such as the Nexus 7 and iPad Mini out the door, these days the industry seems focused on getting bigger. Microsoft has been making waves with the Surface Pro and one of the big announcements Apple made in September was the arrival of a long-rumoured—and very large—iPad Pro.

Review: NEW LG 34UC97 Monitor – Big and Beautiful!
As a dedicated laptop user I am not used to using a separate monitor, but I got a chance to test out LG’s new 34” LCD monitor. This wide-body monitor was so impressive I felt like I have been missing something for years.
