Toshiba Tecra Z40t-B

 The laptop's 2-MP camera is in the middle of the bezel above the display, and its fingerprint sensor is below the touchpad, close to the front edge of the deck.

 Measuring 13.3 x 9.29 x 0.8 inches and weighing 3.7 pounds, the Z40t is neither the thinnest nor the lightest laptop, but it shouldn't weigh down your bag. It's around the same weight as theLenovo ThinkPad T450s (13.03 x 8.9 x 0.83 inches; 3.8 pounds), and the Dell Latitude E7450(13.3 x 9.1 x 0.8 inches, 3.6 pounds), but the HP EliteBook 1040 G2 (13.3 x 9.2 x 0.63 inches, 3.32 pounds) puts much less heft in your baggage.

 The Z40t also benefits from shock absorbers that protect the hard drive, display panel and crucial display components from damage in the case of a drop or tumble. Toshiba said it has tested the display hinge for up to 20,000 cycles, which calculates to 10-plus times a day for five years.
Toshiba claims that the keyboard is spill-resistant, and that the deck's cover, tape and insulators help protect the circuitry under the keys from moisture.

Keyboard

The first thing I noted when opening the Z40t was that the key caps for the letter keys looked remarkably small.
A digital ruler measured the keys to be only 13 millimeters tall, which is definitely short when compared with the 15.5mm measurement found across a variety of laptops I measured from Dell, HP and Apple.

WHAT IS THE BEKO WDA91440W? The WDA91440W is a feature packed washer dryer from Beko with an impressive 9kg load capacity for washing or a sizeable 6kg load for washing and drying all-in-one go.

NutriBullet Rx

WHAT IS THE NUTRIBULLET RX? Not content with making it easier to get your five-a-day through smoothies, NutriBullet is now championing healthy soups with its Rx model. While it isn't the first blender to ramp up the power in order to cook the contents, the Rx is more compact than equivalent professional-style machines. A larger version of its smoothie-blitzing predecessor, it comes with similarly super-sized kit. This includes two cups for making cold drinks and nut butters, and a jug for whizzing together steaming soups at up to 70 o C. NUTRIBULLET RX – DESIGN AND FEATURES The Rx is a grown-up version of the familiar  NutriBullet  design. A power button resides on the side of the unit to switch the Rx on and off, and another button at the front switches it from a minute-long smoothie programme to a seven-minute soup-heating one. However, its mode of operation has changed, with blending activated by dropping the jug or cup with blades onto the base. To stop, you ca...

Panasonic DMP-UB700

Image
  It’s still a very shiny device, still more premium-looking than Samsung’s UBD-K8500, but the nice glossy finish is now only on the front and top surfaces. The sides have a standard dull metal finish. It’s also a little shorter, because the UB900’s damping feet have been chucked out. On the front, there is a tiny display peeking out from behind the two-way mirror finish. It’s great that this feature has been kept, because it’s very useful being able to tell what the player is up to. It also allows the player to say hello and goodbye. Manners are important.   Like the UB900, the UB700 has UHD Premium certification. It pumps out 4K and HDR at up to 60 frames per second, and boasts a brightness output up to 10,000 nits. There is also a 4K high-precision chroma processor, and you can expect the player cover the BT.2020 colour gamut. The connections have been stripped back. There are no longer any analogue audio outputs, and no digital coaxial output either. What you get...
