Where MacBooks start at £949 for the arguably out of date Air 13, the Swift 1 costs £349 in the variant we’re using. Let that sink in: just over a third the price of Apple’s cheapest alternative. Low CPU power and minimal storage make the Acer Swift 1 suitable for only light jobs like writing documents, surfing the web and streaming video. However, given the price its impersonation of a £700-1000 slim and light laptop is almost bizarrely convincing....

The JBL Quantum ONE headset typically runs for $299.95, making the price rather steep.

Earlier this month, Activision revealed that it has issued over 70,000 bans worldwide in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Hirshberg was pretty firm in putting your mind and wallet at ease: That seems pretty cut and dry. Every time you pop in that new copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops, or should there ever be a Modern Warfare 3, the multiplayer won’t cost anything extra.

Even Bobby Kotick, Activision Blizzard’s CEO (Activision Publishing is a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard), has shown interest in the subscription idea, but it would now seem that all that talk doesn’t matter....

Man Utd sign Lindelof for €40m The 18-year-old has indicated that he is prepared to play hard ball over discussions on his future and has refused to sign an extension with the San Siro club, with his current deal up in 2018.
