Dell Inspiron 14 Plus

£899 from www.snipca.com/50079

Tested Issue 683

Has the same processor (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H) as our previous favourite (Acer Swift Go 4), but manages to squeeze more speed out of it. Has 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a 14in 2240x1400-pixel screen. Excellent value overall.

ANDROID TABLET

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9

£679 from www.snipca.com/50039

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. £679 will get you the 128GB version. If you want 256GB you’ll need to spend around £50-£100 more.
