What is it? Yesterday’s news, if we're being a bit flippant. Cupra has a brand-new debutant being promoted from the rafters: the Formentor. It’s a significant milestone for the Spanish performance marque as its first bespoke product designed separately from its Seat close relation. The Formentor is also significant in this context because it’s an SUV, and one of broadly (but not exactly) similar size to the first model launched with only Cupra badges: the Ateca. So why, you might ask, does a sub-brand turned brand in its own right dedicate two-thirds of its model range to effectively the same class of car? There are two trains of thought. The first is that whatever Cupra sells - and it must sell, because few brands have the cash for vanity projects nowadays - has to be a desired product not just for most of Europe, but now new markets such as Mexico, and likely others. Given Cupra's positioning, that means sporty SUVs, and two spun off the same platform is better than one. The second is that the Ateca itself has kind of done its job of establishing Cupra in its two years on sale. Along with the Leon, which for some reason kept its Seat badging until the new model recently arrived, Cupra clocked up nearly 25,000 sales last year. But for the brand to really succeed on its own, like DS has for Citroën, it must gradually move away from rebadged, steroid-injected Seats. So with the Formentor around, is there any real reason to buy the Ateca? Clearly, Cupra thinks so, having facelifted the latter, which we’re driving for the first time. What's it like? Not drastically different from the old car. Perhaps that's no surprise for a Volkswagen Group facelift, but we expected more effort to extend this car’s lifespan a bit, given it’s a generation behind the Leon and Formentor. Externally, as with the updated Seat Ateca, it’s a light re-dress with new LED light designs and tweaks to the front fascia to engender more visual aggression. Aluminium-effect detailing and trinkets such as puddle lights displaying the striking brand emblem go some way to livening it up, but it’s a pretty subtle renewal for a subtly attractive SUV. It’s the same story inside, and this is fundamentally where the Ateca looks most outdated these days. Sure, there’s now a digital cockpit, better voice control and a supportive pair of Alcantara sports seats, but our car lacked the new wheel design with a neat, Audi R8-style integrated engine start button. It also doesn’t get the newer, more minimalist dashboard design, and although it does use the latest infotainment software and digital dials, it doesn’t receive the high-mounted glossy touchscreen panel of its siblings. Frankly, we’re not huge fans of the new design’s lack of physical climate control switchgear, but while the button-heavier Ateca is more ergonomically sound, it does seem quite dark, bland and oh-so-2016 in there. The Ateca is still the space champion of Cupra, though, with the clear intent being that the Formentor functions as a style-led coupé alternative. Although shorter, the Ateca is a full 150mm taller, with easier ingress and egress, more rear head room and a slightly bigger boot. But the Formentor is a chunk longer to account for its sloping rear end. To be honest, both are plenty roomy enough for most family needs and the Ateca isn’t substantially better in that respect. Perhaps by virtue of it being the new kid on the block, the Formentor is 10bhp more powerful than the Ateca, which has the same 296bhp 2.0-litre turbo EA888 unit as the pre-facelift car. However, off-the-line pace of the latter has improved via revisions to the all-wheel drive system and throttle mapping, taking the 0-62mph time just below the five-second mark. You’d have to drive it back-to-back with the pre-facelife car to really discern a difference, we reckon. And, more to the point, the same issue we raised when reviewing the outgoing model remains, in that, due to a combination of being higher off the road and significantly heavier than something like a Cupra Leon, it doesn’t feel quite as fast as the figures suggest during in-gear acceleration. The kick in the back you’d get from the engine-sharing VW Group hot hatchback equivalents is dulled a little, although without that context, it’s still an agreeably rapid SUV with an engine of stellar flexibility, if not a great well of character. The whip-crack dual-clutch automatic changes, accompanied by the now-traditional EA888 exhaust fart, do increase the theatre, though. Once again, familiarity reigns in the updated car’s overall dynamics. As before, adaptive chassis control is standard, while the only notable revisions are tweaks to the steering set-up and a new Brembo brake option (not fitted to our car). It’s capable, effective and composed, but far from perfect. Even with the dampers in their slackest mode, there isn’t quite enough compliance for our liking. You can never really escape the feeling that engineers accepted compromise here to help prop up the tall, heavy body to a respectable degree in harder driving. Which could be fine, but on Britain’s gnarliest road sections, the vertical bounce and crash of pothole impacts can grate. It also means that, despite being easy to place thanks to pleasingly quick and weighty steering, it can get knocked off line quite sharply by mid-corner lumps when you up the pace. There’s none of the faint rear-driven sensation of the Golf R and new Audi S3, either, with its prodigious grip giving way to typical front-end wash. Should I buy one? Despite the dynamic foibles, there’s a fundamentally capable car here. The ride certainly isn’t deal-breakingly hard, and although ultimate dynamic appeal is lacking, the Cupra Ateca is a convincing enough fast daily driver. The familiar muscular and responsive powertrain - which still excels in low-rev refinement - is present, too. But as well as feeling less potent than its hot hatch siblings, it’s pretty thirsty. We never saw anything more than high 20s to the gallon even when trying. It’s perhaps too easy to compare the Ateca to equivalent hatchback offerings, where it falls short, while ignoring the versatility and desirability benefits of the SUV body. But the compromises are a little too evident here. And the prettier, fresher and dynamically more rounded Formentor shows what Cupra is capable of when it really gets to do its own thing, and that’s where our money would go.

Rabat – Morocco’s Foreign Affairs minister Nasser Bourita has stressed the importance of the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking at a meeting on November 26, the Moroccan minister told partners that cooperation with the EU through the ENP is “more than necessary.” Morocco and the EU have been working together through the ENP to boost investment and cooperation on security matters, but the results have been uneven according to Bourita. ENP in pandemic times The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the importance of cooperation on security, Bourita told his fellow foreign affairs ministers at the virtual EU-Southern Neighbourhood Ministerial Meeting on November 26. For the Moroccan top diplomat, the pandemic has “demonstrated weaknesses” but also provides “opportunities to be exploited together.” Cooperation with the EU through the ENP is relevant in its spirit, method and experience, Bourita explained as he expressed confidence the policy has brought together countries. He also suggested the policy has produced practical and symbolic results for Morocco, which holds an “advanced” status that enables smoother trade, technology sharing and security cooperation. 17 Years of cooperation For 17 years the EU has worked with countries in its “southern neighborhood.” The ENP and its Southern Neighborhood initiative that brought together foreign ministers on Thursday have deepened ties between countries, according to the EU (PDF). The southern neighborhood policy has seen the EU realize association agreements with Algeria, Egypt; Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia. Read also: EU, Morocco Poised to Boost Post-COVID-19 Cooperation The ENP, of which the Southern Neighborhood initiative is a part, was reviewed in 2015 to focus more on stabilizing countries. In 2021 the initiative will publish the “Joint Communication on a renewed partnership with the Southern Neighbourhood,” which is likely to again tweak the initiative. The EU credits the program with mobilizing €2.3 billion amid the pandemic. Unequal partners Yet the results of the ENP have failed to reduce the gap in wealth and living standards between the EU and its partners. “The wealth produced in the South is 13 times less than in the North,” Bourita stated at the meeting, adding “the standard of living gap is almost 1 to 5.” Bourita urged that the EU’s southern partners should have a greater say in decision making within ENP cooperation. The Neighborhood policy must “transcend pure financial logic,” Bourita stated as he called for a more flexible and tailored approach to the EU’s partners. Decision making should mirror the equality seen within the European Economic Area, Bourita advised his fellow foreign ministers. He also expressed hope that collaboration between the EU and Morocco could benefit from “the opportunity represented by the revision of the ENP,” edging the ongoing transitions toward a digital and sustainable future.

With the Ryzen 5000 series, it's fair to say that AMD has finally, and fully, eclipsed Intel's performance dominance in desktop PCs. AMD’s flagship $799 Ryzen 9 5950X has landed in our labs, boasting 16 cores and 32 threads bristling with the potent new Zen 3 microarchitecture. AMD’s new halo part expands Ryzen 9’s dominating lead in productivity applications and beats Intel’s competing processors in every other metric, including 1080p gaming performance, by surprising margins. Our 5950X sample even breaks the 5 GHz barrier at stock settings (at least sporadically), outstripping its spec and making it an easy choice for our list of Best CPUs. But the Ryzen 9 5950X is just the tip of the Zen 3 spear. We also have the more amenable $549 Ryzen 9 5900X that comes with 12 cores and 24 threads. Aside from its bruising performance in applications, it’s even faster than the 5950X in gaming, even beating out Intel's overclocked flagships at 1080p, too. Much of Ryzen’s early success stemmed from industry-leading core counts and plenty of freebies for enthusiasts, like bundled coolers and unrestricted overclockability paired with broad compatibility. Still, AMD was long relegated to the role of a value alternative. AMD’s clockwork execution on new Zen architectures has slowly whittled away Intel’s performance superiority with each new launch, though, leaving Intel an ever-shrinking cross-section of advantages. To counter, Intel added more cores and features of its own, but AMD’s relentless innovation left Intel clinging to the life raft of its single-threaded performance advantage. AMD narrowed the gap when it transitioned to the denser 7nm process and Zen 2 architecture for the Ryzen 3000 chips, which largely reduced Intel’s gaming advantage to the imperceptible level – particularly in the mid-range of the market. With sales surging, AMD has begun to capitalize by repositioning itself as a premium brand. The first signs of that shift began with the company’s recent Ryzen XT lineup, which found the company largely discarding some of the freebies we’ve become accustomed to and tacking on a higher price tag to its almost imperceptibly-faster chips. Ryzen 5000 changes the game entirely, though. The chips come with the same refined 7nm process found in the Ryzen XT processors, but AMD paired the node with a ground-up redesign of the Zen core microarchitecture. AMD says the new Zen 3 microarchitecture provides a 19% average increase in instruction per cycle (IPC) throughput, erasing the last vestiges of Intel’s performance advantages while delivering a new level of power efficiency. According to our tests, the Ryzen 5000 processors deliver, beating Intel in nearly all metrics that matter, including performance, power consumption, and thermals, and largely remove Intel’s performance lead after overclocking. And yes, that includes in 1080p gaming. AMD is also leveraging its position as the only CPU maker that also makes discrete GPUs by rolling out its new Smart Memory Access feature. This new tech boosts gaming performance by enhancing data transfer performance between the CPU and GPU, but it only works if you have a Radeon RX 6000 graphics card, Ryzen 5000 processor, and a 500-series motherboard. We won’t know the full implications of this new tech until the Radeon RX 6000 “Big Navi” launch later this month, but it looks promising. The $799 16-core 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X comes with a 3.4 GHz base frequency, a 300 MHz reduction compared to the 3950X, and a 4.9 GHz Precision Boost frequency. Intel doesn't really have an answer for the 5950X; the Comet Lake series tops out at ten cores for $488. You can find the 18-core 36-thread Core i9-10980XE for $815 at several retailers, though it comes with all of the normal drawbacks of a high end desktop chip, like the need for a pricey motherboard and quad-channel memory kit. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 9 5950X drops into mainstream motherboards with ease. The 12-core 24-thread $549 Ryzen 9 5900X comes with a $50 markup over the previous-gen 3900XT. The chips' base frequency declines 200 MHz compared to the 3900XT, but boosts reach 4.8 GHz (a 100 MHz increase). Intel's 10-core 20-thread Core i9-10900K slots in for $60 less than the 5900X ($77 less if you choose to go with the graphics-less F-series model). If all you care about is gaming, Intel's $453 Core i9-10850K also falls into this bracket. The 10850K offers essentially the same performance as the pricier 10900K in gaming, but is $96 less than the 5900X. The $449 Ryzen 7 5800X comes with eight cores and 16 threads, just like its previous-gen Ryzen 7 3800XT counterpart, but again comes with a $50 markup. The chip sees a 100 MHz lower base clock than the 3800XT but has the same 4.7 GHz boost. Given the price point, the Core i9-10850K also competes here with similar pricing to the 5800X, while the Core i7-10700K is ~$100 less. Finally, the 6-core 12-thread $299 Ryzen 5 5600X's base clocks come in at 100 MHz less than the previous-gen 3600XT, while boosts are 100 MHz higher at 4.6 GHz. AMD's 6C/12T Ryzen 5 3600XT had a 95W TDP, but AMD dialed that back to 65W with the 5600X, showing that Zen 3's improved IPC affords lots of advantages. AMD does have a glaring hole in its product stack: You'll have to shell out an extra $150 to step up from the 6C/12T Ryzen 5 5600X to the 8C/16T Ryzen 7 5800X, which is a steep jump. Based upon product naming alone, it appears there is a missing Ryzen 7 5700X in the stack, but it remains to be seen if AMD will actually bring such a product to market. As before, AMD only guarantees its boost frequencies on a single core, and all-core boosts will vary based on the cooling solution, power delivery, and motherboard BIOS. You’ll need your own cooler for any Ryzen 5000 chip that exceeds a 65W TDP: The Ryzen 5 5600X is the only Ryzen 5000 chip that comes with a bundled cooler. AMD said it decided to skip bundled coolers in higher-TDP models largely because it believes most enthusiasts looking for high-performance CPUs use custom cooling. AMD recommends a 280mm (or greater) AIO liquid cooler (or equivalent air cooling) for the Ryzen 9 and 7 CPUs if you want to reach the advertised speeds, significantly adding to the overall platform costs. The Ryzen chips continue to expose 20 lanes of PCIe 4.0 to the user and stick with DDR4-3200 memory as the base spec. However, if the silicon lottery shines upon you, we found that the chips offer much better memory overclocking due to improved fabric overclocking capabilities, which we'll cover on the following pages. These chips drop into existing AM4 motherboards with 500-series chipsets, like X570, B550, and A520 models. You'll need an AGESA 1.0.8.0 (or newer) BIOS to boot a Zen 3 processor. Still, while the early BIOS revisions ensure the processors will work on the most basic level, you'll have to update to an AGESA 1.1.0.0 (or better) BIOS for the best performance. AMD will also add support for 400-series motherboards starting in Q1, 2021, but that comes with a few restrictions. Let's see how the Ryzen 5000 series stacks up against Intel's finest. Now that Ryzen 5000 firmly establishes AMD as the performance leader, the company has hiked up prices by $50 across its entire lineup and left a noticeable gap in its product stack – you'll have to take a steep $150 step up the pricing ladder to get above the entry-level six-core twelve-thread Ryzen 5 5600X. AMD's premium pricing could be an Achilles heel, but it's hard to determine the final pricing story given that AMD's suggested selling prices almost never manifest at retail. Meanwhile, Intel is left without a response until the first quarter of 2021 when its Rocket Lake chips blast off, bringing a new back-ported Cypress Cove architecture that grants a “double-digit” IPC increase paired with Intel's never-ending 14nm process. Until then, this is how the high-performance chip market stacks up. To put AMD’s gaming performance claims to the test, we’ve switched over to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 for game testing and also put the company’s new silicon through the paces in a wide range of expanded tests, including several SPEC and Adobe benchmark suites. Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X Specifications and Pricing The Ryzen 5000 series processors come as four models that span from six cores and twelve threads up to 16 cores and 32 threads. AMD increased its Precision Boost clock rates across the board, with a peak of 4.9 GHz for the Ryzen 9 5950X. However, AMD’s unique boosting algorithms can stretch beyond the advertised speeds if you pair the chips with a quality cooler and a motherboard with robust power circuitry. In fact, our Ryzen 9 5950X sample peaked at 5 GHz at stock settings, albeit sporadically, and reached 5.125 GHz when we engaged the auto-overclocking Precision Boost Overdrive feature, which we'll cover on the following pages. AMD increased the boost clock speeds, but it also reduced base frequencies compared to the previous-gen processors. AMD says that if you top the chip with an adequate cooler, it will rarely (if ever) drop to the base frequency, which we confirmed with our testing.

A free and temporary fix for a newly discovered zero-day in Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 has been released by 0patch to prevent a local privilege escalation vulnerability from being actively exploited in the wild. The bug affects all devices running Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 regardless of whether or not these devices have been enrolled in Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program which costs between $25 and $200 per workstation. Black Friday deals: see all the best offers right now! The free micropatch released by 0patch will prevent the local privilege escalation vulnerability from being exploited by cybercriminals for systems without ESU and it will serve as a temporary fix for systems that are enrolled in the program until Microsoft releases a more permanent solution to the problem. We've put together a list of the best malware removal software Keep your devices virus free with the best antivirus software Tired of Windows? Check out the best alternative operating systems 0patch provided more details on its new micropatch in a blog post, saying: “According to our guidelines, this micropatch is free for everyone until Microsoft issues an official fix for it (presumably only as part of Extended Security Updates). By the time you're reading this the micropatch has already been distributed to all online 0patch Agents and also automatically applied except where Enterprise policies prevented that.” If you're not yet an 0patch user and wish to install the micropatch on your systems, you can create an account in 0patch Central, install 0patch Agent and register it to your account. Misconfigured registry keys The local privilege escalation vulnerability is the result of two service registry keys being misconfigured and the bug could enable a local attacker to elevate their privileges on any system running Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. The zero-day was discovered by security researcher Clément Labro who recently published his analysis as well as a proof-of-concept that enabled 0patch to create its new micropatch for Windows users. Insecure permissions on the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache and HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcEptMapper registry keys makes it possible for an attacker to load malicious DLLs by tricking the RPC Endpoint Mapper. Labro explained that he was surprised that the vulnerability he discovered wasn't found sooner in his report detailing the zero-day, saying: “I don’t know how this vulnerability has gone unnoticed for so long. One explanation is that other tools probably looked for full write access in the registry, whereas AppendData/AddSubdirectory was actually enough in this case. Regarding the “misconfiguration” itself, I would assume that the registry key was set this way for a specific purpose, although I can’t think of a concrete scenario in which users would have any kind of permissions to modify a service’s configuration.” If you're running Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 on your systems you should install 0patch's micropatch now regardless of whether you're enrolled in Microsoft's ESU program.

Skoda’s first bespoke electric car, the Enyaq iV, has entered production at the firm's factory in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic, ahead of UK deliveries commencing in May. The first model based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric car platform to be built outside of Germany, the EV will be produced at a rate of up to 350 units per day. It'll go down the same production line as the combustion-engined Octavia and Karoq; the first time MEB and MQB platforms will be assembled together. The Enyaq iV is also the firm’s first use of the MEB platform and offers two battery capacities, rear or four-wheel drive and a vRS performance variant. Described as “the start of a new era for Skoda” by new CEO Thomas Schäfer, the SUV has an “emotive, powerful and dynamic” exterior design. Measuring 4648mm long and 1877mm wide, it’s almost as big as the Skoda Octavia and significantly larger than the Kia e-Niro. Skoda says space inside is on a par with that of its seven-seat Kodiaq as a result. Distinctive features include an optional LED-backlit grille with a coming/leaving home animation. The LED headlights and tail-lights perform similar displays and scrolling indicators are standard. Skoda claims the Enyaq has a drag coefficient of just 0.27 – low for an SUV. The interior is “inspired by modern living environments”, using “natural, sustainably processed and recycled materials”. Skoda hasn’t set trim levels, choosing instead to offer “design selections”: co-ordinated interior packs available throughout the range. The dashboard is dominated by a central 13.0in touchscreen with gesture control, an e-SIM for connected functions and a voice assistant. There’s also a 5.3in digital instrument display offering four different layouts. This being a Skoda, a number of Simply Clever features are available, too. Storage space is boosted by a 6.2-litre ‘jumbo box’ under the centre armrest and an 11.4-litre space beneath the centre console, while charging cables live under the boot floor with a cable cleaner. Of the rear-wheel-drive Enyaq models, the 60 iV comes with a single 177bhp motor and a 62kWh battery for a 242-mile range and a 0-62mph time of 8.7sec. The 80 iV boosts power to 201bhp and gets an 82kWh battery for a 316-mile range, with 0-62mph taking 8.5sec. The four-wheel-drive options both have two motors and use the 82kWh battery. The 80x iV produces 262bhp for a 6.9sec 0-62mph time and has a 285-mile range. The 302bhp vRS is the only Enyaq with a top speed above 99mph, topping out at 111mph, while it can hit 62mph from rest in 6.2sec. Its range is also 285 miles. The Enyaq is capable of rapid charging at up to 125kW, resulting in a 10-80% charge taking as little as 38 minutes. However, the maximum rate is 50kW as standard, with 100kW optional on the 62kWh battery and 125kW only optional on the 82kWh battery. Every Enyaq can also charge via a domestic socket or a 7kW wallbox. rices start at £30,450 (after the £3000 government grant) for the 60 iV, which gets 19in alloy wheels, rear parking sensors and ambient lighting. The 80 iV costs £35,950. Standard kit includes extra chrome trim, front parking sensors, a rear-view camera, paddles for adjusting the level of regenerative braking, satnav, a driving mode selector and a heated leather wheel. Buyers can choose from three interior specifications. The cheapest, Loft, features fabric and artificial leather seat upholstery and brushed aluminium ‘decor panels’. Lounge gets light grey leather and yellow stitching for £1115, while Suite brings black leather and trim panels for £1285. Topping the range is the Founders Edition. Priced at £46,995 (including grant), it receives 125kW charging, 21in alloy wheels, the backlit grille, Matrix LED headlights and a unique black leather interior design pack. Prices for the 80x iV and vRS haven’t yet been revealed.

King Mohammed VI and his brother Prince Moulay Rachid visited the Mausoleum of Mohammed V in Rabat on Wednesday to pay tribute to their late father King Hassan II. The King and the prince visited the tomb on November 25, which coincides with the ninth day of Rabii II, the day that marks the death of King Hassan II according to the Islamic calendar. In respect of the coronavirus-induced safety protocols, King Mohammed VI decided to commemorate the 22nd anniversary of his father’s death privately, with only his brother by his side. Traditionally, the royal family organizes a memorial service for the late King Hassan II that includes Quranic prayers and the recitation of eulogies of Prophet Muhammad. Last year, the ceremony took place at the Lalla Soukaina mosque in Rabat, in the presence of King Mohammed VI, Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, Prince Moulay Rachid, and Princess Lalla Meryem. Read also: Royal Family Leads Religious Ceremony to Honor King Hassan II The head of government, speakers of the two houses of parliament, the King’s advisors, members of the government, presidents of constitutional bodies, and several political figures and military officials also attended the ceremony. King Hassan II died on July 23, 1999, or the ninth of Rabii II, 1420 AH, in Rabat. Over 40 heads of state attended his funeral service in Rabat, including US President Bill Clinton, French President Jacques Chirac, and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. The late King led Morocco to reclaim its southern provinces from the Spanish occupation, notably through the iconic Green March in 1975. Moroccans celebrate the anniversary of the historical event every year on November 6.

Black Friday laptop deals are really kicking up a notch, now that we're just days away from the main onslaught of offers on November 27. That means we're seeing some stunning discounts hitting Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon right now - but it's going to be difficult to beat these heavy hitters from Dell. Prices are starting at just $299.99 (with specs that we rarely see at this price point), and you'll find everything from the very latest 11th generation processors to SSD sizes that really have no business being this cheap. Our top budget pick has to be this $399.99 Dell Inspiron 15 3000, however. Sure, we've seen Black Friday laptop deals offering 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD in the past, but never with a Ryzen 5 processor attached, a full 15.6-inch display and Radeon Vega 8 graphics as well. You're saving $100 on this machine as well, bringing a $500 laptop down into the budget price range. If you really want to cash in on Dell's Black Friday laptop deals, though, we'd point you to this $200 saving on the Dell XPS 13. Now sitting at just $649, you're dropping down to an i3 processor but still nabbing 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD - whereas we'd usually see the 128GB configurations sitting at this price. There's plenty more where that came from, though, and you'll find all the best Dell laptop deals just below. And stay tuned, because we're bringing you all the latest Black Friday deals as soon as they appear. Browse the full Dell Black Friday sale Dell Inspiron 15 3000 15.6-inch laptop: $499.99 $399.99 at Dell Save $100 - We've seen Black Friday laptop deals coming in cheaper than this with a 256GB SSD attached, but none that also offer Radeon Vega 8 graphics, a Ryzen 5 processor and a full-sized 15.6-inch display. You're getting 8GB RAM as well in here, which makes this $100 discount work even harder. Dell XPS 13 13.3-inch laptop: $849 $649 at Dell Save $200 - For the same price as the Inspiron above, however, you can pick up the premium Dell XPS 13 with all its luxury goodness attached. You're dropping down to a 10th generation i3 processor to grab such a high value laptop, however, though the 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD are still stunning at this price point.

What is it? The fourth generation of Hyundai’s Tucson is, I think it’s fair to say, quite striking. Which is no bad thing when there’s an abundance of medium-sized SUVs and you want to tell them apart. I don’t think you’ll have too much trouble here. The Tucson sits between the compact Kona and full-sized Santa Fe in Hyundai’s range. Previously, the line up has started at £23,000, rising to £32,000, all before options, but you can expect both will go up with this example. The size has increased, too. At 4500mm by 1850mm, it’s 20mm longer and 15mm wider respectively than the previous Tucson, which means it’s a little longer than a Volvo XC40 but shorter than a Nissan X-Trail. It’s a five-seat family wagon for those who like some tallness in their life. Which, I am aware, is a lot of you. There are two- and four-wheel-drive versions – this rather well-specified derivative drives all four wheels – with powertrain options including a 134bhp diesel that more people should consider than will, and 1.6 mild-hybrid petrols with 148bhp and 178bhp. Then there’s this 227bhp 1.6 less mild hybrid that can drive on electric power alone from time to time. A non-electrified petrol and a low-powered diesel will follow, as will a plug-in hybrid. Whichever electrified version you get, the hybrid’s batteries sit below the boot floor, although pure internally combusted cars have the same luggage volume as electrically assisted models. Here there’s a seven-speed automatic, but you can have a six-speed manual. What's it like? Inside, the new Tucson is almost as bold as the outside. There’s a positively elegant sweep of fabric and metallic/piano black finishes across the dashboard, neatly integrating the air vents, which, if finished in veneer and chrome, would be called ‘yacht inspired’ or something if it came from an old-school premium European maker. As it is – with soft-touch plastics abounding; separate, clear climate controls; big, pleasingly coloured digital dials; and a largely functional central touchscreen (with phone mirroring) – it’s both a functional and attractive interior. A Volvo XC40 has a bit more joy to it, but if the alternative is a Volkswagen Group car, so samey and staid, this is a really pleasant option. The fit is strong, too, and your fingers meet hard plastics only when you prod down at door bins and the central storage cubby. The perforated leather seats on this car mark it out as a high-spec example – given it’s the top powerplant, too, it’s probably pushing into the mid-30s on price – but Hyundais come with kit as standard that you might have to pay for elsewhere. The outer rear seats – spacious, with decent head and leg room even if a tall occupant is in the front – are heated and the tailgate’s electrically operated. This stuff is standard on the £31k Premium SE at the minute (although tbh I can always live without an electric tailgate) and I doubt equipment levels will be reduced for this new car. And to drive? It’s good enough. There’s good ride and noise isolation, although a bit of a head-toss wobble with it along bad roads. This being a left-hand-drive car might not help, sitting you next to the verge and the worst bits of the road as it does. There’s a suppleness to it – the 19in wheels, the biggest available, are shod with 235/50 R19 Michelin rubber – and when it leans, it leans quite quickly. When it comes to a ride/handling balance, then, they’ve thrown it more towards the ride, which is understandable. The steering’s light and stays that way and, at under 2.5 turns between locks, is pretty quick. You can flick through drive modes – from Eco to Sport – which adds a bit of weight but seemed to make no difference to the ride on this car. Gives you red dials, though, and a rev counter. Racy stuff. In this full-hybrid, there are times when it shuffles along in full-electric mode. Response is largely smooth, there are steering wheel paddles if you want to control what gear the car is in (and an extended pull on the up paddle puts it back in Drive), but in fully auto there’s an occasional hesitation while the caboodle tries to decide exactly what kind of response it should give. Grip and traction are good. There’s a digital readout to show where power is being apportioned. If you pull out of junctions swiftly, you’ll see, as you feel, the rear rapidly taking up its share, so there’s never any scrabble or torque steer. As with most of the tech info, there’s no word on the towing limit yet, but the old Tucson had a legal limit of 1900kg (with around 1500kg being the sensible maximum of what you ought to pull). Should I buy one? And so you end up with a car that’s more pleasing to sit in than it is to drive. But given it’s a pretty relaxing, harmless, easy car to drive, you can get an idea of how good a car it is to sit in.

Rabat – The Republic of Haiti has decided to open a consulate general in Dakhla, Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday. The Minister of Foreign Affairs in Haiti addressed a letter to his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita to express his country’s decision to open the consulate in Dakhla, southern Morocco. The Carribean country will be the first non-Arab and non-African country to open a consulate in Morocco’s southern provinces after 16 other nations. Haiti’s decision comes after its statement to express support for Morocco’s peaceful action to ensure the safety of truck drivers and civilians in Guerguerat, a vital crossing at the Moroccan-Mauritanian border. The country also expressed support for Morocco’s territorial integrity and for the UN-led political process to find a solution to the conflict over Western Sahara. The situation in Guerguerat caused concerns at the international level, with several countries condemning Polisario’s provocative moves in the region. Starting October 21, Polisario carried out a blockade of the Guerguerat border crossing, sending children, women, and men to obstruct the flow of commercial and civilian traffic. The blockade in Guerguerat trapped drivers and impacted the Mauritanian economy after the UN failed to resolve the situation. The concerns forced Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces to act on November 13 against Polisario’s provocation and restore stability in the region. Beyond the Guerguerat situation Despite Polisario’s hostile maneuvers, Morocco continues to earn support for its cause in the international community. Dozens of countries expressed support for Morocco’s action in Guerguerat and vowed to continue to back Morocco’s territorial integrity. A list of countries showed support for Morocco’s sovereignty with political actions, including the decision of many to open consulates in Morocco’s southern cities of Dakhla or Laayoune. The two provinces are home to 16 consulates general, including the UAE’s diplomatic representation. In addition to Haiti, Jordan also announced its decision to open a consulate in Laayoune, a move that reflects unwavering support for Rabat’s position in Western Sahara. With the future opening of Jordan and Haiti’s consulates, Laayoune and Dakhla will be home to 18 consulates combined. To date, the two provinces host 16 consulates, including those of Sao Tome and Principe, UAE, and Cote d’Ivoire, among others.
