| Review summary | The Sling Media Pro-HD streams live TV to your PC or smart phone very well -- but for most users, its excellent HD-capable picture quality will be diminished when accessed outside of the home network. Also, its numerous features will probably be overkill for most people. But for home cinema enthusiasts and hard-core gadget-heads, it may be worth it Read full review |
The Slingbox Pro is awesome. If you're looking for a way to enjoy what's on your home TV regardless of your physical whereabouts, it simply cannot be beaten. Read full review |
The Sling Media Slingbox Solo is fantastic. If you're not bothered by the fact it only supports one source at a time, and lacks a TV tuner, the Solo is the best way to control and watch your TV on a laptop or mobile phone Read full review |
While it's not the cheapest single speaker surround sound system on the market, it's right up there with the best, not only in terms of performance but also of design. Compact, sturdily built and attractive to look at, it delivers surprisingly effective multi-channel sound without the fuss and mess of a full 5.1 speaker setup Read full review |

Fine for the price, but we have concerns about their durability, and their bass can be overpowering
Seagate Replica
Takes all the hassle out of backing up, but some will want more flexibility and storage capacity
Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300
Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible
