Reviews

  • HP Pavilion HDX - 'Dragon'

    With a 20-inch widescreen, HD DVD drive and HDTV tuner, HP's Pavilion HDX has supersized the desktop replacement into a fire-breathing, multimedia beast.

  • Onkyo TX-SR605

    The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price

  • Apple Final Cut Studio 2

    Final Cut Studio 2 is a solid value and worthy upgrade for serious film editors who work on Macs. However, hobbyists should consider simpler software.

    The c150 is SanDisk's latest attempt to bust open the flash-based MP3 player market.

    Mac users with even a minor interest in music or podcasting will be pleased with GarageBand 3's user-friendly interface and ample feature set, but the heavy app isn't ideal for most laptops.

  • Harman Kardon AVR 140

    The Harman Kardon AVR 140, an entry-level A/V receiver, sounds among the best in its price class, but it falls short on features.
