Reviews

Apple Time Capsule (2TB, Late 2009)

The Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.
Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (Late 2009)

The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking and works well for their homes. Savvy Windows users will find many better value alternatives.
HP Envy 15 (1015TX)

HP's new Envy 15 packs high-powered components into a svelte 15-inch body. The result is an upscale status symbol that still shows a few first-generation rough edges.
Apple Magic Mouse

The Magic Mouse introduces some new innovations, but its long-term comfort and lack of customisability puts it behind the competition.
Brother MFC-990CW

The Brother MFC-990CW is a speedy, fully capable all-in-one device that earns our recommendation for an individual or a family that will make use of its touchscreen and telephone/answering machine.
Corel Digital Studio 2010

A majority of home users will appreciate Corel Digital Studio's feature set, its interactive projects, and wide support for photo and video formats.
Dell Studio One 19

There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.
Samsung Omnia Icon

Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
