Grammarly

EAs are required to be accurate at all times. Whether it’s a full-blown
report or a page of notes from a meeting, having correct grammar is
essential. But, the English language is complex and often frustrating
to get right 100 percent of the time. Enter Grammarly, an app that
integrates with all of your favourite software and scans your writing
for mistakes. The program is incredibly accurate, offering suggestions
not only on your spelling or punctuation but also suggests vocabulary
adjustments and even analyses the tone of your writing.
If you’re looking to upgrade your workstation this year, then this
laptop should be at the top of your list. The HP Elite Dragonfly is both
lightweight and powerful, with a high-grade processor and a solid-state
drive packed into a device that’s less than two centimetres thick and
weighs less than a kilogram. This machine isn’t just a strong performer,
it also fully integrates security and connectivity into its design. HP’s
Sure View tech allows you to hide your screen from anyone but you, it
includes optional fingerprint and facial recognition, a physical shutter
on the webcam and a very sophisticated suite of anti-hacking software.
If all that’s not enough, you can also throw in a micro-sim card—which
has 5G capabilities—and have the internet at your fingertips without
having to mess about with insecure Wifi hotspots.
