Power consumption: How much are your gadgets costing you?
With Earth Hour making us aware of the need to conserve electricity, we conduct a real-world test to see just how much our TVs, computers and other home electronics equipment costs to run.
Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2009)
A few other all-in-ones make this 20-inch iMac look expensive on a dollars-per-screen-inch basis, but none are as attractive or as capable juggling multiple programs. With a fast dual-core CPU and a strong array of features, Apple's updated all-in-one will slide seamlessly into a variety of roles at home or at work.

Apple MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 17-inch)
A little late to the party, Apple's redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro joins the 15-inch model with a redesigned aluminium body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual graphics set-up for either longer battery life or better performance.

HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx
The sleek design and good performance of the HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx makes it a solid contender, but don't plan on removing the power cord any time soon.
-
Sony VAIO TP2
Sony's designed a nice looking unit in the TP-2, but its beauty proves to be only skin deep.
-
Fujitsu Lifebook V1010
The thoroughly average Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 has a lovely display, solid battery life, and relatively trim weight, but it lacks the features of similarly priced systems. You can get more for your money elsewhere.
-
Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
-
Sony VAIO VGN-SZ483N
With a strong security suite, hybrid graphics system and sleek design, the VAIO VGN-SZ483G is a product which sells itself. The only beef we have is its last-generation platform and rather miserly warranty terms.
-
Creative Live Cam Optia AF
If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam.
-
Fujitsu LifeBook N6460
Amongst the monster "laptops" there's been a heavy focus on multimedia and power, and to a degree, the Fujitsu does well here -- the speakers, lack of Bluetooth and price being the only things that truly cripple it.
