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.

Sony Handycam HDR-SR12

A little cheaper and a bit more capacious than its predecessor, Sony's top-dog consumer camcorder is the one to get should you have the desire to go high-def.

Reviews

  • Lenovo IdeaPad Y510

    Lenovo's Y510 represents the company's best crack at the consumer notebook market to date, but there's no doubting this system's ThinkPad heritage.

  • Denon AVR-3808

    The Denon AVR-3808 A/V receiver is absolutely packed with functionality and sounds great, but you'll need to be an A/V geek to unlock all its potential.

  • Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR

    The Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR is a very good TV with some of the best video processing currently available, but plasma is an attractive alternative at this price.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

    With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date.

  • Toshiba Qosmio G40

    Like its predecessor, the Qosmio G30, Toshiba's flagship multimedia desktop replacement offers a complete suite of entertainment features. The G40 is slightly slimmer and has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.

  • Toshiba Portege R500

    Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.

  • Apple MacBook (White, 2.16GHz)

    The latest MacBook looks identical to the old model but benefits from faster components. As a result, it's even better value for money.

  • Toshiba Tecra A6

    The Toshiba Tecra A6 is a well-designed business laptop that delivers good performance for the money and a host of business-friendly security features, but its glossy display will prove to be a deal breaker for many.
