It’s skinny & quick & brill and… 5 reasons to LOVE the Asus ZenBook (the UX305CA for those who care)
I’ve talked before about a teen’s need for a decent laptop of their own. But of course, your teen isn’t the only one who doesn’t necessarily have the luxury of private space – for many of us the kitchen table isn’t just where eating and homework happen, it’s also where the banking, the shopping, a spot of while-I’m-cooking Netflixing and for an increasing amount of us, the blogging happens....
Fancy a 2-in-1 tablet? We’ve tried the Venturer BravoWin
Most families now seem to have at least one tablet that the kids have access too – a lot of kids also have their own, of course. And tablets are pretty awesome – I completely denied they had any use for a few years when the iPad first came out, and predicted an early demise – what a stupidly unnecessary bit of kit, why do we need a tablet when we have a computer at home? Silly me. My iMac is on all day every day...
Learning to code online with the brilliant Code Kingdoms (and Minecraft!) – plus 20% discount code!
It’s a simple fact of life that our children are going to need skills that we don’t even know exist. Their world is moving fast, and is ever more digital. My 9yr old is a slow handwriter but she can touch type whilst holding another conversation in the room – now I’m good, but I’m not that good. Naturally, where there’s tech-savvy kids in the house, there’s Minecraft. We’ve been old...
Did you know there’s over 100 Nintendo 3DS titles to try for free?
We parents are always looking for ways to entertain the kids without splashing the cash – particularly at this time of the year when the weather is grim and ‘just going outside’ isn’t always an appealing option. In answer to this, Nintendo is reminding owners of Nintendo 3DS family systems – which includes Nintendo 2DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL – that in total...
That shiny new tech could be a hacker’s dream gift too this Christmas
It’s a constant worry in a digital age, isn’t it? That unseen threat of the dreaded hacker… my bank was ‘got at’ a couple of months ago, thanks to trojan software on my (what I thought was protected) Mac, and it’s a horrible feeling. We’re so intrinsically linked to our digital devices now that the emotional impact is no different to when a burglar actually steps inside your home – you...
The Ultimate Headphones for your Digital Teen |#ChristmasGiftGuide
Following from the review of the Blue Yeti microphone for gaming teens, it seemed obvious we needed some pure headphones to go with it – we’ve covered headsets (which combine the two) previously – but if you have a separate microphone on your desk, then all you need on your head are headphones. But teens are always the most demanding of creatures, aren’t they? You don’t want any old earbuds – no no...
