All-in-One computers are a good choice for users with limited space. But you'd still need quite a bit of room to fit HP's upcoming AiO into your living space. Not only is it built around a 34-inch curved display, but it also has Amazon's Alexa cooked in.

Sweden's Love Hultén is probably best known for his wonderfully retro gaming creations, but for his one-off PET De Lux project, the designer and craftsman has paid tribute to a grand-daddy of home computing, the Commodore PET 2001 all-in-one personal computer released in 1977.

Eight computing machines spanning 80 years have competed in a race to find numbers in a mathematical sequence. An old WITCH machine and a modern iPhone were among the competitors of the Grand Digital computer race, but the clear winner was a BBC micro:bit with a 9 year-old coder as its "jockey."

The brain is a far better computer than anything humans have ever built, so it’s not surprising that scientists are reverse-engineering it. Neuromorphic computers are built with networks of artificial neurons, and now a team has developed a more lifelike synapse to better connect those neurons.
