Reviews

  • Panasonic DMR-XW450

    Panasonic's upmarket DVD recorder has oodles of functionality, but it's hidden behind a somewhat obtuse remote control.

  • LG BE06 External Blu-ray Rewriter

    LG's external Blu-ray writer is huge, but does the job. We're still not in the age of Blu-ray though, and we wonder if we ever will be.

  • Toshiba Satellite A300 (2009)

    Toshiba's A300 certainly stands out in a crowd, but its battery life means you won't be out in the crowds for long.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook L1010

    They're certainly a colourful bunch, but underneath the bling, Fujitsu's latest range of notebooks fail to impress.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook S6520

    The Fujitsu Lifebook S6520 is a decent refresh with Centrino 2 parts, but there are cheaper alternatives if portability is of utmost importance.

  • Sony VAIO LT VCG-LT28G

    We're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.

  • Sony BWU-200S Blu-ray burner

    If you're in the market for Blu-ray authoring, Sony has produced a decent device. Everyone else will most likely stick to their vastly cheaper DVD burners for a little bit longer.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-NR17G

    Sony's NR17G has a distinctive look, and while it doesn't stand out in the performance stakes, it's still a worthwhile desktop replacement candidate, as long as your needs are modest.
