Reviews

  • Cars Race-O-Rama

    Cars Race-O-Rama is a terribly generic racer aimed at the younger crowd. It's neither great nor awful, just absolutely middle-of-the-road gaming.

  • Samsung ST550

    Self-portrait screen or not, this camera marks Samsung's coming of age. Aside from a few too many megapixels and battery life that's too short, it's a delight to behold and use.

  • Apple Magic Mouse

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

  • Nikon Coolpix S640

    The S640 boasts dSLR-like responsiveness and good pictures but is let down by its price and lack of competitive features like HD video.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2

    Lenovo's popular IdeaPad S10-2 netbook has been slimmed down and its price reduced, making it a better netbook — as long as you can live without ExpressCard.

  • WD My Passport Elite 500GB

    Desktop users who need a portable drive will find the My Passport Elite endearing, although the dock could stand to be a little more user friendly.

  • WD My Passport Essential SE 1TB

    Western Digital's 1TB Passport drive isn't pretty or cheap, but its bland look belies the storage and backup goodies within.

  • Withings WifiScale

    We can't fault the technical genius of the Withings WifiScale, but at the same time you do pay a lot of money for a lot of gimmicks in a bathroom scale.
