Reviews

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A330

    The Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, but unless you really want Live View its cheaper sibling, the A230, is a better deal.

  • LG Shine (TU720)

    LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.

  • LG KF600

    Are two screens better than one? The KF600's morphing touch-navigation pad is a cool concept and adds a little high-end class to an otherwise low-spec handset.

  • MSI Wind

    This is one of the best mini laptops so far — it's comfortable to use, has a good display and it's affordable.

  • Jabra BT5020 Headset with Bluetooth Hub

    The lack of a phone headset lifter makes this headset/hub combo less intriguing than it really should be.

  • Toshiba Satellite L300 (Celeron 2GHz, 1GB RAM)

    The Toshiba Satellite L300 is the perfect budget laptop — simply designed and passable in performance.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A350

    Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.

  • Nikon D60

    Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.
