When we think of a desktop PC, we usually picture an ugly black box confined to the floor under our desk, or draped with a towel to keep it out of sight – unless, of course, we’re talking about an iMac or the insanely cool Mac Pro. But HP is set to smarten up the home office with its latest free-standing home computer. Looking like something that’d be more at home on an audio elitist’s side table, the Wave is shrouded in Bang & Olufsen’s finest attire. With a speaker nestled at the top of the machine’s internals, sound is fired upwards and out, with the built-in sound-projection system in the roof converting audio waves into 360-degree tunes. So regardless of where you’re sitting, you can hear what the machine…

Our gadget lust, as you know, knows no bounds, which is why this month, we’re off to Las Vegas to check out what’s hot and trending at the world’s biggest technology show, CES. Do keep your eyes peeled on our website and app for our live coverage. HDR in TVs are gaining momentum and this month, we take a look at three HDR-enabled TVs on pg 38. For the month’s launches, do take a look at Mini’s latest Clubman, BenQ’s 4K projector meant for homes and Nintendo’s upcoming gaming console Switch. As for our in-depth reviews, there’s more than enough to keep you busy! Read up on what we feel about the OnePlus 3T, Sony’s Z9D TV and Apple’s MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, from pg 64 onwards. We’ll be…

From 37,90,000 onwards, mini.in Didn’t you guys cover the Mini earlier this year? Look who’s got a memory like an elephant. You’re right! We did cover the Mini in April 2016 but that was the Mini Convertible and this is the Mini Clubman. So what new stuff does the Clubman bring to the table? Lots. But if we were to talk about the design, it follows the same Mini design language with a stretched silhouette, a long roof line and a steep rear, but the distinguishing feature is the rear split-doors. Oh, and the boot opens with a click on the remote or by simply waving a foot. Additionally, the newly designed LED headlights and LED rear lights add to the car’s overall design. And do the interiors match up?…

38,000, http://gopro.com/ Is this the GoPro that I’ve been waiting for all these years? A resounding yes! And we say that even though it has been over two years since the last major GoPro Hero launch. During this time, various competitors with their clones have caught up or even surpassed it. So then how do you justify that ‘resounding yes’, as you put it? By the end of the page, you’ll be singing the same tune. Instead of also launching a Silver edition, GoPro has decided to eschew tradition and focus all its effort on the Hero5 Black. Glaring omissions like a touchscreen and a waterproof body have finally been corrected. From the sound of that, I may not have to wait till the page’s to end! A touchscreen on…

3,99,000, www.benq.co.in Been a while since I saw a projector in this section. Hope it is something to be hyped up about. Always the cynic. We’ll have you know that this is, in fact, the most awesome way for projectors to make a comeback – by introducing the world’s first Digital Light Processing (DLP) 4K projector for consumers! The projector industry has been trailing LCD displays in this area for a while so hopefully this should get all you sceptics to sit up and ogle. You had me at 4K! Come on, dish the deets! Ugh, if only to stop you from using terrible slang. The W11000 projects a screen size of up to 200 inches, producing a sharp 4K display in all its 3840x2160p glory. BenQ’s 4K optical system…

64,900, irobot.in iRobot? Some of these names, I tell you! Well, you got to hand it to them for having such an obvious name to avoid any confusion. The Roomba line has been present since 2002 with each iteration bringing with it various upgrades, and the 980 is no different. So what makes this robotic duster command such a high price? Well, it’s the flagship of the range and as such, is loaded to the brim with exclusive features. It has the longest battery life of all such devices, lasting up to two hours, and if it doesn’t clean everything in that much time, it automatically recharges itself to resume cleaning later on. For the lazy, the Roomba 980 can be summoned from its charging station via the iRobot app.…
