This month's issue

The December issue of PC Advisor is just brimming with reviews of the latest tech. We've got 54 laptops and PCs from £250, including the fastest-ever machines for Windows and games, smartphones including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and Nokia Lumia 1020, tablets such as Google's new-for-2013 Nexus 7, a host of very clever smart TVs and so much more.

We've also got plenty in the way of features and expert advice. For example, did you know your smartphone screen has 10 times more germs than your toilet seat? Yuck. Don't worry, we'll show you how to sanitise your gadgets.

And in the same vein, we question whether your PC is making you ill. Although computing can take its toll on your health, most of the risks can easily be prevented. We provide some guidance to keep you healthy while you work.

We'll show you how to add the best Windows 8 features to Windows 7, browse the web anonymously for ultimate security, extend your laptop's battery life, upgrade your graphics card, create your own Android or iPhone ringtone from an MP3, edit PDFs for free, arrange meetings with online tool Doodle, check your CPU temperature, transfer photos from a camera to a PC… the list goes on.

There's all this, plus the latest technology news and analysis, Helproom reader Q&A and our unique Top 5 Charts in the December issue of PC Advisor. Buy your copy today!
