Review Available in 250GB and 500GB versions, the Replica external USB hard drive is the very definition of bother-free back-up. It doesn't offer enough flexibility or storage capacity to satisfy everyone, but, for those of a non-technical bent who don't have a huge collection of data, it's well worth a look

Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300 review

Review Dispensing with bells and whistles, the Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300 ebook reader does one job and does it well. It's extremely easy to read text on its e-ink display, it's attractive and pocketable, and it's very simple to use. Overall, we think it's the best ebook reader currently on the UK market

Review The Reader Touch Edition PRS-600 is a decent ebook reader with some intriguing capabilities, such as its touchscreen, which not only lets you turn pages with a swipe of a finger but also allows you to make annotations. It's not as simple to use as Amazon's Kindle, but it offers much more freedom when it comes to finding books

Review The MP800H Media HD Player offers 1080p video playback, either via USB or over your home network, for a remarkably low price.

Review If you want to step up from stock earbuds but aren't absurdly picky about audio quality and don't want to spend a fortune, the EP-630 earphones are a solid option. Durability may be an issue, but they're compact, comfortable, relatively stylish and offer good sound quality for the money

Tags: Logitech, Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse

Review Fans of first-person shooters and other reflex-dependent games will find much to like in the wired G500 Gaming Mouse. Its 1,000MHz polling rate means it's very accurate, while it's also comfortable and highly customisable. It's not necessarily an obvious choice for strategy gamers, though
