Reviews

  • Azentek CPC-1100

    Azentek's 7-inch, in-car PC offers navigation, Bluetooth mobile phone integration and multimedia playback capabilities.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista SP1

    Microsoft pushes its first service pack for Vista out the door. Is it a salvation, a non-event or a flop?

  • Acer Aspire E700 MMX1

    The Acer Aspire E700 MMX1 is a respectable but not groundbreaking machine. While we've seen other machines that have managed better results for the price, we've not seen one in such a well designed package.

  • ASUS W7S

    The ASUS W7S offers powerful performance in a small portable package, and considering that it has discrete graphics, we were surprised it had excellent battery life.

  • Altech Maestro Fusion

    The Altech Maestro Fusion is a beautiful system, but you'll need a TV and sound system to complete the picture (literally).

    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.

    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.

  • HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC

    The HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC is an innovative device which will fit well into most homes, but is just short of an Editor's Choice award.
