Sony PSP Go

We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag.

Reviews

Sony PSP-3000

With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP — and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs.
Sony STRDA5300ES

With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
Onkyo TX-SR605

The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price
Panasonic DMP-BD10

Forward-looking cinephiles with deep pockets might go for DMP-BD10 Blu-ray player. For the rest of us, we recommend waiting a while or picking up a PS3.
Lenovo 3000 N100

In addition to a set of features and connections suitable for the small-business user, the Lenovo 3000 N100 delivers strong components and performance at a competitive price.
Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (24-inch, 2.16GHz)

Other vendors might offer more flexible configurations and better deals on components, and the specter of HD video looms darkly, but the 24-inch iMac's sprawling display and convincingly capable features should set most people's minds at ease.
InFocus IN74

The IN74 looks impressive from the outside and it delivers quality images from the inside.
InFocus ScreenPlay 777

If you have to have the best in home cinema, then a 3-chip projector is as good as it gets.
