Our pick of products that have won the Buy It award
LAPTOP
Acer Swift Edge 16
£1,299 from www.snipca.com/47480
Tested Issue 667
This is a much better all-rounder than Acer’s Swift 3, and so replaces it as our top choice. It’s faster, has a sharp 16in screen – two inches bigger than the Swift 3 – and comes with more ports, including two USB-C ports, two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI. It’s 13mm thick with the lid closed and weighs a mere 1.25k
ALTERNATIVE Lenovo Yoga 6 Gen 7 Has a slower processor, but with a 15-hour battery and a great 13.3in screen it remains a good laptop for the price. £549 from www.snipca.com/44950.
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 1TB 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. £634 from www.snipca.com/41500
APPLE iPAD
Apple iPad 10.2in
£369 from www.snipca.com/36178
Tested Issue 623
The 9th-generation of the basic iPad, released in 2021, is now the best-value Apple tablet. The 2022 version looks better and has a faster processor, but it’s not worth paying £130 extra for.
ALTERNATIVE iPad Mini With an even better, but smaller, screen than the 10.2in iPad, the Mini also supports the Pencil and has 64GB of storage. £569 from www.snipca.com/33050
ANDROID TABLET
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9
£768 from www.snipca.com/47493 Tested Issue 667 With a much brighter screen than our previous favourite – the Galaxy Tab S8 – this is perfect for watching TV. It also has a faster processor, so tasks feel smoother, even with several windows open. It’s a great buy at its full price of £799, but look for discounts that make it even better value
ALTERNATIVE Lenovo Tab P11 Pro It’s slower than the Tab S9 and the screen is duller, but has a detachable keyboard so you can use it as a laptop. £395 from www.snipca.com/45244
APPLE iPHONE
Apple iPhone 13
£599 from www.snipca.com/43498
Tested Issue 627
Now £200 cheaper than its 2021 launch price, the iPhone 13 has a superb screen, long
battery life and an excellent camera -
particularly for taking quick snaps without blurring. You co
