Canon Pixma MP560

As a mid-priced multifunction the MP560 performs well, and we appreciate the inclusion of realistic claimed print speeds.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200

It lacks some basic features you may require — touch pad, optical drive — but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.

Reviews

Edimax nLite 3G-6200n 3G Broadband Router

Edimax's nLite 3G-capable router might sucker you in with a bargain price point, but you'll pay a hefty frustration price along the way.
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.
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.
Samsung B2700

If the two main features you need in a phone are a decent media player and convenient calling, then the B2700 won't disappoint.
Belkin N+ Wireless Storage Router

Belkin's N+ Wireless Storage Router leaps ahead of the wireless-N pack, and finally delivers a wireless-N router worth owning.
Toshiba Satellite A300 (2009)

Toshiba's A300 certainly stands out in a crowd, but its battery life means you won't be out in the crowds for long.
ASUS EeePC 1000H

The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.
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.

CES 2009 preview: Home entertainment

For the last few years, the format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray has monopolised home entertainment coverage at CES. Now that HD DVD is dead, we can finally get back to focussing on new technology, rather than which studios are backing which format. Blu-ray should have a big presence, along with its new competitors, internet-powered video-on-demand boxes.
