Tech library
Choose the system, not just the product
Buying guidance for the hardware around your work, games and home. We show what each option is for, what it gives up, and where to check the current price.
How to use this library
Start with the constraint you cannot compromise on.
Memory, portability, game library, screen behaviour, storage resilience and network layout are different decisions. A higher specification is not automatically a better fit, and a retailer price is not a complete ownership cost.
