Reviews

  • JVC Everio GZ-HD5

    The HD5 features a 60GB hard disk, high-def 1920x1080 recording and a 10x optical zoom lens. Unfortunately, it records in JVC's MPEG2-TS format, rather than the more popular AVCHD format.

  • Apple iPod Classic 160GB

    The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life and intuitive user interface.

  • Sony PlayStation 3 Slim

    With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package at a more affordable price.

  • Toshiba NB200

    The Toshiba NB200 is an excellent netbook — we just wish someone would evolve the platform already, but with Microsoft and Intel holding the reigns it doesn't seem set to happen soon.

  • Panasonic Toughbook CF-W7

    The Toughbook CF-W7 isn't bad. It's designed for a specialised niche, and if you're constantly exposed to water we'd say it'd be a good choice. We'd expect more for our money though, and would otherwise be more tempted to pick up a Thinkpad for general ruggedness.

  • 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.

  • Sony Ericsson W705

    Average call quality on an otherwise killer music mobile. The W705 ticks most of the right boxes, and is cute as a button, but is letdown in a few key areas.
