Reviews

Sony DRX-S70U

Sony's slimline DRX-S70U drive is quite appealing for travellers or those with dud notebook drives -- as long as you've got space for the AC adaptor.
Pioneer BDR-202BK

Pioneer's drive and bundle is excellent, but also expensive and clearly an early adopter's product.
LG LH-RH9695IA Home Theatre

This is a great sounding and great looking unit that will work well in medium-sized rooms, and considering its hard disk drive, it is reasonable value for money.
Roxio Popcorn 2

Roxio Popcorn 2 is a simple and excellent solution for copying and backing up files.
Lexmark P450

The CD burning capability aside, Lexmark's P450 is just another home photo printer with average printing features and performance.
Toast Titanium 7

Even with no serious competition, Roxio Toast stays on top of its game by adding important new features and beefing up old ones. It's a must-have for Mac users.
Nero 7 Ultra Edition

Nero 7's new features and low price keep it at the pinnacle of CD/DVD-authoring suites, but some problems mean that you might want to wait for the downloadable version.
Sony NW-HD5

Sony's 20GB NW-HD5 and the iPod are both dead simple to use, but the HD5 is smaller, and its removable battery lasts much longer.
