Reviews

  • HP ProBook 4310s

    If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.

  • Garmin Nuvi 1390

    It mightn't offer the bigger bang for buck, but the 1390 is a solid and dependable choice. We particularly like its comprehensive lane guidance and easy-to-use interface.

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

    Sony Ericsson has finally satisfied our curiosity and thrown the covers off its first Android-powered handset. A veritable powerhouse, the X10 features a 1GHz processor and a high resolution 4-inch display.

  • BenQ Joybee GP1

    The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.

  • Asus K50AB

    The K50AB is a typical mid-range laptop that looks good, but the in-built GPU-switching feature doesn't save on battery at all. We'd suggest looking elsewhere for your mid-range needs.

  • Sony Ericsson Yari

    The Yari looks great but doesn't have stellar features or applications. If you're in it for the games then be prepared for a serious disappointment.

  • Forza Motorsport 3

    The next instalment, coming in October, offers pumped up visuals, error prone AI drivers and a rewind feature to undo nasty little incidents, like dates with the Armco.

  • HP 2159m

    HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.
