Laptop lowdown: 25 things you need to know to buy the perfect notebook

In the market for a new notebook? Check out our list of 25 things you need to consider before you hit the shops.

We take a look at all of Apple's iPods past and present. It's sure been a journey since that chunky, black-and-white original.

Creative Zen Mozaic

The unfeasibly cute Mozaic is a budget player with decent sound quality and a surprisingly powerful speaker, but its toy-like looks won't be to everyone's tastes.
Nokia N78

The Nokia N78 is a fun phone to use, and despite some annoyances it's likely to find fans in those looking for a feature-filled Apple alternative.
Life! LXPI (4GB)

The first player from Australian brand Life! has a laundry list of features, but video sync issues and teeny touchscreen controls hold it back.
Sony Ericsson W890i

The sleeker user interface, improved keypad and HSDPA make the W890i more attractive than its predecessor, the W880i.
Samsung YP-T10

Samsung's super-cute player has several enchanting features — including a dancing dog — but its touch-sensitive controls can be temperamental.
Creative MuVo T200 (4GB)

It's tough trying to live up to your older sibling. Just ask Creative's MuVo T200, which struggles to match the company's Zen Stone on every spec.
Philips GoGear SA3125

A bargain price and decent sound quality can't lift this MP3 player above the mire of mediocrity.
Sony Walkman NW-A805

Were it not for crazy pricing, the A806 would've walked it in for an Editors' Choice award. As it is, it's still a great nano competitor with sound Apple would kill for and video playback to boot.
