Reviews

Asus Eee PC 1004DN

Asus' Eee PC 1004DN seems to be the final word in netbook computing, but then stumbles at the last moment due to the stratospheric price.
Sony Handycam HDR-XR200V

It's the active image stabilisation system that finally makes shooting lengthy handheld movies or on-the-go videos a viable option, which elevates this camera from average to good.
Apple MacBook Air (Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz, Nvidia GeForce 9400M)

If you weren't a fan of the previous MacBook Air, nothing will change your mind here. It does, however, present an excellent user experience. We can only hope the next revision is a little more feature-laden.
Toshiba NB100

In the face of an identical hardware platform, Toshiba's netbook fails to bring a unique point of difference.
Archos 5

If you can afford it and want the best combination of Web access and outstanding video performance, this is one of the only players in the world you need to consider, despite its flaws.
JVC Everio GZ-HD6

In isolation the HD6 is a good camera, however, on almost every turn it is outpointed by its Sony counterpart, the HDR-SR12.
Acer Aspire One

The Acer Aspire One is better than most netbooks. It's fantastic for anyone who wants a small, cheap machine on which to type and surf the web. However, its battery life lets it down slightly.
Sony Handycam HDR-SR12

A little cheaper and a bit more capacious than its predecessor, Sony's top-dog consumer camcorder is the one to get should you have the desire to go high-def.
