Archos 405 review

Archos owns this price range of portable devices. For a little less than the 8GB version of the latest iPod nano, the 405 offers a large colour screen, great sound quality, support for high-resolution video and expandability options. All of these features make it quite the affordable player Read more

Archos 704 Wi-Fi review

The Archos 704 Wi-Fi is part portable media player and part PDA. It can playback movies, pump out music and show digital snaps, but like a PDA it has a touchscreen, support for Wi-Fi and a built-in Web browser Read more

Archos 404 camcorder (30GB) review

Archos' compact, stylish 404 camcorder is a portable video player, a camera and a camcorder in one device. It delivers crisp photo display, colourful video playback and music sounds impressive, but hang on to your standalone camcorder Read more

Archos 604 WiFi review

The Archos 604 WiFi is basically the same as the 604 with the addition of a touchscreen and integrated WiFi. It has everything you could want in a portable video player on paper, however its performance ranks it as good, not great Read more

Archos 504 (160GB) review

The Archos 504 is an impressive portable, although it's noticeably bigger and heavier than an MP3 player. In return for the bulk and its lack of accessories, it offers big drive sizes, good battery life and outstanding AV performance Read more

Archos 404 review

The Archos 404 is the company's smallest in its 04 series of portable video players. This is a fully fledged PVP with all the fixings and a 30GB drive, but this one measures only 99mm by 76mm by 15mm, and has an 89mm (3.5-inch) screen. Though it doesn't record audio or video out of the box, it's still a good deal at less than £200 Read more

Archos 604 review

The Archos 604 is the replacement for Archos' well-loved AV 500. It can play videos, play music and display photos, all of which can be stored on its 30GB hard drive. It is compatible with a wide range of popular file formats in all three media -- but you'll need to connect it to a computer in order to move files over Read more

Archos AV 700 TV review

The Archos AV 700 TV is the first mobile Freeview television that comes with a built-in hard drive recorder. It's also a portable media player, able to display movies and photos and play back MP3s. We had no trouble picking up excellent reception on all Freeview channels and got a lovely picture -- it is very expensive, though Read more
