Oct 27, 2020, 01:06 AM

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Sarah Walker on BBC Berkshire to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. This week; why you might need to hoover your smart speaker, developments by IBM and Pfizer designed to detect the early signs of dementia, and how AI was used to detect when the candidates in the US election debates were lying.

First Gadget of the Week is the DJI Pocket 2 camera. Featuring a 3 axis gimble to stabilise your motion it produces extremely smooth 4K video at 60fps and can live stream, great for video casting. There's also active tracking, allowing it to follow you, or any object, plus time lapse and hyperlapse. There's also glamour effect mode for the less photogenic among us. Starting around £339 for the basic model, or £469 for the Creater Combo with wireless mic, wide-angle lens and tripod. Scoring 4.5 out of 5, listen in for more details.

Second Gadget of the Week is Parallel's Desktop for Chromebook Enterprise, which allows users to run Windows in a virtual environment on a Chromebook system, giving access to applications reliant upon Windows. Costing £49.99 a year, this subscription service scored 4 out of 5
