Reviews

Jabra Stone

While we love the style, portability and feature set of the Jabra Stone, it does suffer from a few design and performance issues.
AgfaPhoto DC-600uw

The AgfaPhoto is a cheap, knockabout waterproof camera that's ideal for life at the beach. The feature set and image quality is average but for the price you can't go too far wrong.
BenQ G2220HD

BenQ's G2220HD is a great budget monitor, but an HDMI port would have been a welcome addition.
HP Photosmart Plus B209

The Photosmart Plus has a great touchscreen interface, but average printing quality at best.
Jabra Halo

The Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A is a 50-inch plasma that features great pictures but only so-so sound. There are better value models in the Viera range.

Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available, and added a few useful extras to sweeten the deal.
