Reviews

Sony Bravia KDL40E4500

The Sony Bravia KDL40E4500 is a competent television at a good price, and features network playback, clean styling and a proficient picture.
Sony Bravia KDL40W4500

The Sony Bravia KDL40W4500 is a competent television at a good price, and while the picture is proficient it has some problems with movement.
Sony Ericsson W705

Average call quality on an otherwise killer music mobile. The W705 ticks most of the right boxes, and is cute as a button, but is letdown in a few key areas.
Sanyo PLV-Z3000

Sanyo's affordable 1080p front projector has its share of flaws, but still represents respectable value in its category.
Dell Inspiron 13

The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.
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.
Nikon D3

Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture.
Logitech PlayGear Pocket Lite (DS)

The Logitech PlayGear Pocket Lite is a perfectly good case for the DS Lite, but many will find it to be unnecessary overkill for the already durable Nintendo handheld.
