This week on the Refresh: A wireless virtual reality could be just around the corner; we review the new 13-inch Macbook Pro AND the PS4 Pro and Gaming editor Brett gets all nostalgic when he unboxes the new Nintendo Classic Mini NES.
This week’s top story:
Wireless HTC Vive: HTC has revealed a new accessory that will allow its Vive VR headset to be used wirelessly. TPCast, a startup that’s part of the firm’s Vive X accelerator programme, has developed the device, which clips on to the Vive headset which means you no longer need to be physically tethered to your computer.
