Vodafone Smart 2 Colour Collection
€69.99
Smartphones don’t have to be expensive. Vodafone has already given us a few cut-price Android handsets in the past; the latest is the Smart 2. The compact smartphone may be cheap to buy, but it doesn’t scrimp on functions.
The new version of the Smart comes with a higher resolution 3.2-inch screen and a 3.2-megapixel camera. It runs on Gingerbread and comes with voice-activated search and a few nice extras. To top it off, you can change the colour of the device with a few swappable cases.

Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display
€2,349
You may have a Retina display in your iPad and iPhone, but what about your Macbook? Apple’s latest version of the Macbook Pro brings the high-resolution display to the popular line of notebooks – and it certainly makes a difference.
Colours look more vivid and the text is pin sharp. This is what happens when you pack more than 5 million pixels into a 15.4-inch display. That’s not the only change. The new Macbook also comes with all-flash memory, making it faster and quieter than the Macbook Pro of old. The battery is equally impressive – seven hours of use and it will stay in standby mode for up to 30 days.
