Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN
If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.
Windows 7 pre-beta (build 6801)
At first glance, Windows 7 appears to be an advanced iteration of Windows Vista, but more consumer-friendly, with many user interface enhancements.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009
ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2009 provides top-notch security protection that is light on system resources, allowing you to work unencumbered.
Opera 9.5
Long considered a cult favourite, Opera 9.5 for Windows and Mac has introduced some compelling improvements to security, speed and synchronisation — yes, syncing in a browser!— is there enough here to make you a convert?
Dell Studio Hybrid
If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.
Canon Selphy CP770
The Canon Selphy CP770 is a neat, little dye-sublimation printer that includes a bucket for easy travel, but the battery pack which would make it totally portable is not included.
Panasonic TH-42PZ800A
If sport or movies are your aim then plasma is still the king, and the Panasonic TH-42PZ800A offers a great picture for a great price.
Philips 42PFL7532D
There's a lot to like about this Philips TV: it's simple to set up and navigate, the picture quality is good, if not stunning, and it doesn't cost the earth. If you're looking for a 42-inch LCD TV, it's well worth consideration.
MyNetFone Linksys SPA2100
The SPA2100 is a good quality VoIP ATA, and comes highly recommended, although we'd suggest shopping around for an unlocked unit.
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.
ASUS P525
Attractive and well-rounded, the P525 is a highly proficient smartphone for those that aren't intent on performing extensive data entry.
Sony VAIO VGN-FE15GP
Sony's desktop-replacement VGN-FE15GP is impressively light and has great battery life, although its overall performance trails behind its dual-core competition.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5
In the boldest security-software move we've seen, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5 has partnered with an identity management solutions provider to provide both offline and online identity-theft protection, making this suite well worth the price.
BitDefender Antivirus 10
BitDefender Antivirus 10 is a solid antivirus and antispyware solution, offering two-year subscriptions for the price of one elsewhere; however, it could be faster, offer built-in help, and uninstall better.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7 provides the perfect balance between best-of-breed security protection and ease of use, providing the home user with superior protection that's light on system resources.
Microsoft Money 2006
Microsoft Money 2006 is a worthwhile upgrade for current users who like to bank and pay bills online, but it requires Windows XP.
Freshtel 1040 Internet Telephone Headset
The 1040 Internet Telephone Headset isn't the world's greatest VoIP headset, but it's reasonably priced, nice and light and works well enough for most PC audio applications.
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.
