ASUS Lamborghini VX3

The ASUS Lamborghini VX3 is the laptop recast as a status symbol. It looks and feels like a luxury item; we just wish it had a bit more power under the hood.

Reviews

Philips SoundBar HTS8100

The Philips SoundBar HTS8100 is good value for money, and able to deliver powerful movie soundtracks and excellent video quality via the HDMI output.
Yamaha YSP-1100

Although it's expensive, we really liked the Yamaha YSP-1100's excellent sound, which makes movies much more involving.
Mitsubishi HC1100

The Mitsubishi HC1100 DLP projector delivers surprisingly sharp HD projected images at a very compelling price point.
KEF FiveTwo Series Model 11

While their surround effects fall a bit short of the best we've heard, KEF's beautifully crafted FiveTwo Series Model 11 speakers produce five channels of sound with exceptional audiophile-grade clarity.
KEF FiveTwo Series Model 7

KEF's FiveTwo Series Model 7 system produces audiophile-grade surround sound from two speakers -- that's a rare compliment for a virtual-surround system.
InFocus ScreenPlay 7210

A fantastic mid-range projector, the 7210 delivers the deep contrast and natural colours that make for an excellent cinematic experience.
Panasonic PT-AE900

The PT-AE900 is an upgrade to Panasonic's popular PT-AE700 high definition home theatre projector. By further improving the picture quality and remote control, Panasonic seems to have made a great projector even better.
