Asus Zenpad 8.0 Z380 – if your kid watches Netflix & YouTube, they’ll love this tablet.

I never ever imagined that we would become a six-tablet household so fast (it doesn’t seem all that long ago that I remember chuntering away to Mr LittleStuff about what an utter waste of time they were. I mean – they couldn’t do anything that my Mac couldn’t, which was under my fingertips for 12hrs a day… *hollow laugh*) But each of us uses our tablets in different ways, and a tablet is only as good as...

Dear Parents, Even Your Non-Gamer Teens Need A Gaming Laptop

You may of course own a Gamer Teen like me – one who has been wailing for months that she neeeeds a new PC (but seriously – where are you going to PUT one?).

So we need to make a few things clear. Firstly – Gen Z teens NEED...

Element Gaming Headset Xenon 700 Review

Third in our series of Brilliant Value Gaming Gear is the Element Gaming Headset Xenon 700 review.

Element Iridium 820 Gaming Mouse Review

Gaming Mice are a new creature for most parents. I mean – a mouse is a mouse, right? It has two clicky buttons, one left, one right, and allows you to control the computer with point-and-click awesomeness. Yuh. Wrong. Because if you own a teen gamer, a simple left-click-right-click option isn’t going to cut it. Oh no no. They need programmable shortcut profile buttons, adjustable hand fit and a really good DPI...

Element Thorium 300 Gaming Keyboard – Review

Gaming Keyboards – until it appears on a birthday or Christmas wish-list, most parents won’t even know that such a thing exists. But once you’re a parent of a teen gamer, it’s very difficult to get away from them. And then you’re faced with buying one – and not only are they a baffling thing to purchase wisely for a non-gamer type, but they’re also an expensive way to buy a keyboard. So when...

Parent’s Guide to Back To School Computers – 10% discount code Chillblast

We know, we know. It’s that time of year; your teen goes back to school (or off to Uni), and there suddenly seem to be more demands than ever for work to be completed online, use online resources or at the very least for work to be submitted by email. You thought it had been bad in the holidays, but now fighting for space on the family laptop becomes a daily struggle. And that’s not even mentioning their downtime leisure...
