Reviews

  • Logitech G15 (Revision 2)

    Logitech's revised version of its already distinctive G15 gaming keyboard adds polish and trims some of the fat.

  • Asus EN9800GX2

    Nvidia's new flagship 3D card delivers almost all the performance we expect for its price. We wouldn't blame Crysis fans for waiting to see what's in store later this year.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

    While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz)

    Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.

  • Enspire Vitesse XPS

    The Enspire Vitesse XPS is a good, all-round performer that should please the whole family, but we'd put it in the study instead of the lounge.

  • Pioneer Dreamvision VIIV Media Centre Mini PC

    The Pioneer Dreamvision VIIV Media Centre is a flexible machine which can reasonably serve in a multitude of roles, but the word "compromise" springs to mind.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

    Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.

  • Microsoft Windows Defender beta 2

    With Windows Defender beta 2, Microsoft beefs up its free antispyware app with a new name, engine and tools.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006

    McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006 packs a powerful protection arsenal -- but it's far too slow. Loyal McAfee users should upgrade for the automatic spyware and phishing blockers, but the rest of us should seek security elsewhere, such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.

  • Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista

    With Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista, Microsoft shores up Internet Explorer's crumbling security status and takes aim at its biggest rivals.
