How to Make Sure Your Pet Doesn’t Cost You a Fortune
“Kittens!” (CC BY 2.0) by jameswragg When you first consider buying a pet, it probably doesn’t occur to you to think about how much it’ll cost you over a lifetime. You probably worry about whether it’ll suit your lifestyle – no one wants to leave a puppy home alone all the time – and whether you’ve got enough space for a giant house rabbit to live in your humble abode. But did you know that a dog could cost...
Asus ZenPad 3S 10 review
We’ve been working with ASUS, trying out some of their latest tech in a family setting, to see if we can work out from a baffling array of options which is best for which job in the house. This week my gaze turned to the Asus ZenPad 3S 10 review – which was snaffled swiftly away by the 14yr old, and borrowed heavily when his back is turned by the 10yr old.

One trip to a local jeweller, and we found two plain gold...
Honestly? I didn’t get it (or the Asus ZenBook Flip Review )
When Asus sent me the ZenBook Flip (the UX360CA model, for those to whom the extra letters matter) I’ll be honest. I didn’t really get it.Oh, don’t get me wrong, I know why I love my tablet. I also know why I need a laptop. But a hybrid laptop? Why do I need something that can’t make up its mind (*whispers* and probably therefore ends up doing neither properly)? On unpacking I was actually surprised...
