Reviews

Denon AVR-790

The Denon AVR-790 is a fully featured midrange AV receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.
OXX Digital Classic DAB+

The OXX Digital Classic DAB+ takes the strengths of the company's previous model and adds DAB+ making it one of the best value table-top models on the market.
Motorola H790 Bluetooth Headset

The H790 may not have some of the complementary technologies we sometimes see in Bluetooth products, but the functions it does perform it does exceptionally well.
iRiver B30

Idiosyncratic as hell, the iRiver B30 is a feature-complete player with sparkling sound, but it won't put a fire up the Cupertino boys.
Apple MacBook (Spring 2009)

The Apple MacBook may look the same as before, but it's had a Spring makeover and is now a better deal than ever.
LaCie Starck Mobile

LaCie clearly spent a lot of time designing the look and feel of the Starck Mobile Hard Drive, but it trips up on the basic essentials like weight, ease of use, cost per gigabyte and transfer speed.
TDK iVibe

If you can find a place for the iVibe in your home then you'll be happy with the sound it produces, especially if you overlook its various shortcomings.
Dell Vostro 320

While a few tweaks such as an in-built wireless receiver for keyboard/mouse and a video input so it could double as a monitor for your laptop would be nice, if you're looking for a cheap all-in-one PC, it's hard to ignore the Vostro 320 as an option.
