Reviews

  • Skype 4.1 beta

    Skype's new screen-sharing feature is a clever addition to the VoIP communications application. The new beta also sees birthday reminders reinstated, a favourite feature of past builds.

  • Azentek CPC-1100

    Azentek's 7-inch, in-car PC offers navigation, Bluetooth mobile phone integration and multimedia playback capabilities.

  • Chrome (beta)

    Google has rethought the Internet browser — some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel — but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.

  • Adobe Photoshop Express Beta

    Though there's a lot to like about Adobe's first stab at online photo editing and sharing, you probably want to wait until the company fixes a few problems with the beta — and defangs its terms of service — before uploading scads of photos to Adobe Photoshop Express.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista SP1

    Microsoft pushes its first service pack for Vista out the door. Is it a salvation, a non-event or a flop?

  • Acer Aspire E700 MMX1

    The Acer Aspire E700 MMX1 is a respectable but not groundbreaking machine. While we've seen other machines that have managed better results for the price, we've not seen one in such a well designed package.

  • ASUS W7S

    The ASUS W7S offers powerful performance in a small portable package, and considering that it has discrete graphics, we were surprised it had excellent battery life.

  • Altech Maestro Fusion

    The Altech Maestro Fusion is a beautiful system, but you'll need a TV and sound system to complete the picture (literally).
