Motorola: First Look at the New Range The latest lineup from Motorola landed, and we got some early hands-on time with the Signature, Edge 70, and g67. First impressions? Promising. There’s a clear direction across all three. Slimmer builds, smooth performance, and a noticeable step up in camera tech. The new Sony LYTIA system stood out straight away, delivering sharp images with quick capture speeds that actually keep up in the moment. The Signature led the pack. It felt properly premium, ultra-thin, and packed with serious power thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. The Edge 70 followed closely, bringing that same sleek design into a more accessible option, without sacrificing performance or battery life. Then there’s the g67. It’s the most affordable of the three, but it still carried that same design DNA and overall experience. It’s still early days, but the direction here looked solid. Full reviews are coming soon.

Can Google Save 500 Million PCs?   We caught up with Alex Zaharov-Reutt to unpack Google’s plan to extend the life of millions of ageing computers. He explained what this meant for users stuck on older systems, and how the move could reshape the future of PC upgrades.        Your Windows 10 laptop isn’t dead yet. Google ChromeOS Flex might save it      If you’ve got a Windows 10 PC, continuing to use it has quietly become a security risk with Microsoft ending support.
