Apple Vs. Samsung – which to buy

Samantha

The debate as to which is better, Apple or Samsung, in terms of Smartphone product is a long-running one which will possibly never be settled definitively.

Choosing the right computer to suit your needs

Samantha

When you are looking for a new computer the options of what you could get are rather varied. To narrow down your search you’ll need to consider what you’ll be using the computer for and where you are likely to use it. If you are going to be using the computer in a fixed location such as an office then you may want to consider a desktop computer. With a desktop, you tend to get more for your money as they are not as practical as a laptop. A desktop can be easier to upgrade and can have more built-in memory and storage. If you think that you are likely to want to use your device in a number of locations then you’d need to consider either a laptop or...
