Reviews

  • Onkyo TX-SR607

    If you can overlook its poor analog video conversion, the Onkyo TX-SR607 offers up a ton of HDMI connectivity and excellent sound quality for a mid-range AV receiver.

  • Dell SX2210

    The Dell SX2210 is a well-priced 16:9 monitor with high performance and enough features to satisfy most.

  • BenQ E2400HD

    The BenQ E2400HD is a 24-inch monitor that sacrifices features for price, but doesn't have enough going for it to best its competition.

  • Sharp ANPR1500H

    The Sharp ANPR1500H will hold up your TV, but DVD playback and music replay are just not good enough for us to recommend it.

  • Onkyo TX-NR906

    It's not often that we fall in love with a piece of equipment, but the Onkyo TX-NR906 receiver is the answer to our technological prayers.

  • TEAC iTB1000 iPod dock

    The TEAC iTB1000 sits at the top of the "party" dock food chain with no known predators, but other devices give better bang for buck.

  • Fujitsu M1010

    Fujitsu's netbook offering doesn't really differ much in performance, but redeems itself in design. We still wish it was a touch cheaper, though.

  • HP Mini 1000

    HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.
