If you've been paying attention this week, you'll have noticed a barrage of laptop announcements from various companies, such as Dell and Asus. But why? Pocket-lint's associate editor, Dan Grabham, joins Stuart to explain. 

Meanwhile, senior news editor Rik Henderson talks to Jordan Stephens, one half of rap duo Rizzle Kicks, who has recently teamed with Three and Samsung for a smartphone short movie competition. He gives us his views on movie making, streaming services, and being cast in Star Wars.
