Our pick of products that have won the Buy It award
LAPTOP
Dell Inspiron 14 Plus
£799 from www.snipca.com/51831
Tested Issue 683
This laptop has the same processor (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H) as our previous favourite (Acer Swift Go 4), but manages to squeeze more speed out of it. It also comes with 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and a 14in 2240x1400-pixel screen. Excellent value overall.
ALTERNATIVE
Acer Swift Go 14 Still a fast and powerful laptop, with a great 14in screen. £699 from www.snipca. com/49733
DESKTOP PC
Palicomp AMD Cobra
£400 from www.snipca.com/43515
Tested Issue 643
This fast PC is a mouth-watering bargain, with 16GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD and a six-core processor – though it lacks USB-C ports and built-in Wi-Fi.
ALTERNATIVE
Wired2Fire Ultima WS Home Office Workstation Blisteringly fast PC, powered by an overclocked eight-core processor and 1TB SSD. £656 from www.snipca.com/41500
APPLE iPAD
Apple iPad 10.9in
£329 from www.snipca.com/53977
Tested Issue 646
The price of the 10th-generation iPad, released in 2022, has fallen far enough that it’s the best-value model. The link above takes you to Apple, but also check John Lewis where it’s been as low as £309.
