LG Chocolate BL40 review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:26:00 GMT

The LG Chocolate BL40 mobile phone is one of the oddest-looking handsets we've ever seen.

Dell Mini 3i review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:17:00 GMT

The first Dell Mini 3i smartphone to go on sale anywhere in the world will be available in China this December.

Samsung N510 review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:08:00 GMT

The Samsung N510 is the first netbook to use the nVidia Ion graphics chipset - in other words, the first netbook that can really do video

Canon Selphy CP790 review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:07:00 GMT

At first glance, the Canon Selphy CP790 snapshot printer looks more like a lime-green lunch box. With its convenient handle, it begs you to take it to your next children's party or family get-together. The trade-offs are a high purchase price and oddly designed, wasteful consumables.

Alienware OptX AW2210 review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:05:00 GMT

Dell's gamer-friendly Alienware brand is extending its reach to include monitors, and the 21.5-inch widescreen 1080p Alienware OptX AW2210 serves up a lot to like: solid image quality, accessible and comprehensive built-in menus, and an exterior design that stands out from the generally conservative competition.

Microsoft Office 2010 Web Apps review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:48:00 GMT

The most striking addition to Office 2010 is the introduction of Office Web Apps - lightweight versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote that are all accessible via desktop, mobile devices, and web browsers Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.

HP Photosmart A646 review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:30:00 GMT

The HP Photosmart A646 Compact Photo Printer offers a few surprising features for its midrange price.

Dell 2230d review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:06:00 GMT

Although the low-cost Dell 2230d mono-laser printer offers good speed, its control panel is hard to use.

HP LaserJet P3015d review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:14:00 GMT

The HP LaserJet P3015d is a midpriced monochrome laser printer that doesn't realise its full potential. Although the company touts it as an enterprise model, it's expensive to operate and it has limited connectivity options.

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:13:00 GMT

It may not be a DSLR, but the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR is the sort of advanced point-and-shoot camera that's an enthusiast's dream.

Samsung ML-1915 review

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:24:00 GMT

The Samsung ML-1915 might not offer colour, but with a price of £75, it's every bit as eye-catching as the colour Oki C110 at £115 that impressed us last month. For clean and fast text, a mono laser printer like the Samsung ML-1915 is still the best deal.

Toshiba L500-11V review

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:18:00 GMT

Toshiba's range of laptops includes full size models for under £500, such as this Toshiba L500-11V.

Sony BWU-300S review

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:54:00 GMT

Blu-ray Disc drives that can create BD media remain thin on the ground. The Buffalo BR-816SU2, and now this internal Sony BWU-300S, are the only burnable Blu-ray drives to have been released in the UK since early 2009.

Epson Stylus Office B1100 review

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:19:00 GMT

Able to print not just to A3 but also larger A3+ (329x483mm) paper, the Epson Stylus Office B1100 is a versatile colour inkjet printer. And, at just under £200, it's reasonably priced for a large format printer.

Moblin 2.0 review

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:50:00 GMT

Launched two years ago by Intel and now hosted by The Linux Foundation, Moblin is a Linux platform aimed at netbooks and mobile internet devices.

UniBlue RegistryBooster 2010 review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:17:00 GMT

RegistryBooster 2010 does a thorough job of cleaning your Registry.

IronKey S200 review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:53:00 GMT

The IronKey S200 is still arguably the most secure USB drive in existence.

BeBook Mini review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:24:00 GMT

The BeBook Mini is a compact eBook reader with a 5in screen. It scores points over the Amazon Kindle in some areas, but overall it faces an uphill battle to gain market share; we also think there is substantial room for refinement.

ASUS G60J review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:51:00 GMT

The ASUS G60J is a powerful laptop PC with an Intel Core i7 Mobile Processor.

Canon PowerShot G11 review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:33:00 GMT

The Canon PowerShot G11 is the advanced compact camera you can turn to if you don't want to buy a digital SLR.

Nokia Booklet 3G review

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:46:00 GMT

The Nokia Booklet 3G netbook is rugged and solidly built - but some quirks make it a slightly too-pricey portable PC.

Tivoli Model One review

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:36:00 GMT

The Tivoli Model One is a table-top FM radio with a single full-range 3in speaker. It's not a particularly advanced radio, lacking DAB+ and any audio streaming features, but it has the best FM tuner we've heard in a radio this size and offers fantastic audio quality.

Western Digital My Book Elite 2TB review

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:07:00 GMT

The Western Digital My Book Elite 2TB external hard drive offers intuitive backup options, 256-bit AES hardware encryption, and an e-ink capacity indicator.

Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH review

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:38:00 GMT

The Buffalo WZR-HP-G300N is a wireless router that enjoys the now mandatory Wireless-N draft 2.0, WPS button, WPA2 security, and switch with four Ethernet ports, with Gigabit LAN, 300 Mbps WiFi-N, USB storage, and two adjustable antennae as extras that command attention.

The Dell Inspiron 14z review

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:06:00 GMT

The Dell Inspiron 14z laptop makes a clear statement: you are probably a student, you want a whole lot of battery life on a Windows 7 machine, and you probably don't care much about performance.
