Anyone who does have trouble with a hoverboard is encouraged to report it to the safety commission atsaferproducts.gov. The site open to the public, so consumers may use it to research products.Microsoft’s latest and much-improved version of Windows has been released, Macs have gotten better with the latest version of OS X El Capitan, Google Chromebooks have gotten more refined; plus Intel has just released the latest version of its processors, which are faster and offer better battery life.

If you’re looking to upgrade your computer this holiday season, here’s a guide to help you get the bestmachinefor you.This is arguably the biggest and most important step of the buying a new computer process. You can find solid PCs for as low as $149.99 for the Lenovo Ideapad 100S, $159.00 Acer CB3 Chromebook or $199.99 for the HP Stream 11 or more powerful machines like the Microsoft Surface Book or Apple MacBook Pro for well over $1,000, with plenty of good choices in between.

To make the best purchase, you first need to decide what you are using it for. All these machines run Office or can access Google Docs, are fine for browsing the web and can play Spotify and Netflix, but there is a reason there is such a price gap.The HP Stream 11 (left) and Lenovo Ideapad 100S (right) are two Windows laptops available for under $200.

With improvements to Windows and growth of the iPad and Chromebook, the last few years has seen a rise in low-cost PCs. In fact, many of the major PC manufacturers now dabble in more affordable Windows and Chromebook computers.Like tablets, these machines have 10- to 12-inch screens, and while they are thin and portable, they also feature the traditional mouse and keyboard.These machines are excellent options for a starter computer or a second machine, and their small sizes make them ideal for young kids and travelers.

On the Windows side, many run Intel processors, which means all your Windows apps will work, like iTunes and Spotify. Microsoft even bundles a 1-year subscription to their Office 365 service (which includes Office plus 1TB of OneDrive storage) with the purchase of many of these low-cost PCs.

And while it is best used with an Internet connection, many of the Chromebooks also feature Intel processors and are great options if you have everything stored online and in the cloud. Like Microsoft, Google bundles in goodies including 100GB of Google Drive storage for two years and 3 free movies from Google Play.

But they have drawbacks. For one, many lack theamenitiesfound on morepowerfullaptops including higher-resolution displays, HD webcams, large amounts of storage space or 10+ hours of battery life. HP’s Stream 11 and Lenovo’s Ideapad 100S for example, work fine for doing a few tasks, but their slower Intel Atom processors and 2GB of RAM quickly lead to slowdowns and lags as you do more at once. Those weaker specs also make them poor gaming choices or viable alternatives for those who do heavy multitasking with multiple tabs or apps open at once.

Chromebooks in this price range, like the 11.6-inch Acer CB3availablefor around $160 at Best Buy, have faced similar issues in the past when juggling multiple things at once, but they have gotten better. If you need more speed, look at something like Toshiba’s Chromebook 2 for around $270 from Best Buy which has a much more usable 4GB of RAM and faster processor. And while Chromebooks can’t install traditional apps like Office or iTunes — think of them as laptops with just the Chrome browser installed — many of the more popular apps have web versions that are readily available (including Microsoft with Office Online).

It’s important to note that these devices are more one- to two-year solutions and aren’t likely to last you as long as some of the more traditional, pricier computers on this list.At this level is where we see many of the more traditional, fuller-featured computers. Devices in this range have several hundred GBs of storage space, HD displays, faster Intel Core i processors and several GB of RAM.The options here are pretty vast and its more complicated to label a "best one” as there are so many out there and the best computer for you really depends on what you plan to do with it.

The web-streamer: You don’t need to store a lot of photos or videos locally on a hard drive, but want something that will be quick and powerful enough to let you multitask and get things done online.Specs: You’ll want a 5th or 6th generation Intel i3 or more powerful i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, 13-inch HD display, and 128GB of storage.There are a few good options here, particularly on the Chromebook front though if you’re willing to spend you’ll be most pleased with the Dell XPS 13 for $799.99 from Dell.

If you are looking for a dirt-cheap, entry-level laptop for your family or yourself, the AsusX55M1Ais worth considering, provided that you don't plan to lug it around or use it unplugged all that often. London Spy sucked us into even more sordid espionage territory this week, with Ben Whishaw's character Danny discovering he has been deliberately infected with HIV.
It's a frighteningly gripping scene, matched only by a gruelling visit to Mark Gatiss's drug dealer cum pimp 'Rich'.
It all ends with James Fox, the British Establishment made flesh, telling Jim Broadbent's Scottie a terrible – and terrifying – 'joke', before Danny receives a call from another mystery man or woman.

Three out of five episodes down, there are still many more questions than answers when it comes to Danny's desperate search for what really happened to his boyfriend Alex (Edward Holcroft). Here are some of the most pressing conundrums.
Scottie's pointed advice was ringing in our ears throughout episode three. Danny revealed to Scottie that he had indeed taken the code cylinder from his boyfriend Alex's flat. He has decided to trust his friend – but has he chosen wisely?

Something Alex told Danny in episode one seems worthmentioninghere: while walking on the beach, he admits that he conducted background checks on Danny after they first met, because he seemed too good to be true. "The way we met was unusual,” he said. "That would have been the reason you were selected. The appearance of innocence.”
Well, by the same logic, Scottie is a fantastically convenient person for Danny to turn to in his hour of need. An ex-spy, the victim of a "fag hunt”, with just the right contacts needed to lead Danny to the secret of the code cylinder. Too good to be true?

The situation is slightly different – Danny has knownScottiefor many years, before he even met Alex – but the point still stands. Might this be Scottie’s way back into the inner circle, by prising Danny’s secret out with kindness rather than killer injections? Considering how often everyone says how innocent Danny is, he’s proved remarkably adept at this spying game.
In episode one he picked up Alex's cryptic line about needing to change his laptop battery. Episode two saw him masterfully evade a trail and make his way to a secret hideaway, hiding the cylinder in a teenage diary. His own? Alex’s? Either way, this is a man who knows how to hide both himself and things precious to him.

Then there was Frances's (played by Charlotte Rampling) searing observation that Danny knew which bedroom was Alex’s thanks to "something akin to female intuition”.
Danny's instincts are as sharp as the suit Scottie gives him. Underestimate him at your peril.
The climax of episode three saw Mark Gatiss's character Rich hand Danny a phone. This came after Danny asked Rich about the symbol of the "specialist escort agency" seen on a business card.

The phone immediately rang, but who was on the other end? Was it that otherbusinesscarddevotee, the American played by The Wire'sClarkePeters?
It was his blue pill after all that eventually made Danny get that HIV test. Perhaps he was peeved after Danny tore up his previous business card, and decided to make contact another way? More likely, it's someone else we haven't met yet. No morgue scene, no body to identify – just the nightmare glimpse of a decomposing eye locked in a trunk. Is it being too suspicious to wonder whether this is all an elaborate ruse? Almost all the evidence suggests he is definitely dead, but then again, if all that evidence has been falsified to discredit Danny then we don’t have much to go on. However, if Alex isn't dead, then the whole thing – keys smuggled to Danny, eerie visits tododgydealers and London clubs – becomes a goose chase masterminded by dear old Alex. And right now, that’s way too much to think about.
