Reviews

  • James Bond: Quantum of Solace

    Quantum of Solace will leave you shaken and stirred, but not entirely satisfied.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN

    If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.

  • ASUS U2E

    The Asus U2E is a fantastic laptop. It's far slower than rivals such as the Sony Vaio TZ series or MacBook Air, but it's stylish, feature-rich and in many ways more desirable than many of the alternatives.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

    While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

  • Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home Edition

    Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home edition works fairly well for a free antivirus protection.

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007

    Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 was hard to install and produced several noticeable glitches that distracted us from the benefits of the suite.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

    Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
