Apple MacBook (2.0GHz) review

The MacBook is Apple's first 13-inch laptop and occupies the sweet spot between ultra-portable 12-inch models and desktop replacement 14-inch models. The traditional white model is also now joined by a more exclusive black offering, which has 20GB of extra hard drive space and a higher price tag Read more

Terratec Noxon 2 Audio review

The Terratec Noxon Audio 2 is part of a new breed of radio that eschews FM, DAB or satellite broadcasts in favour of Internet transmissions. It gives you access to thousands of stations of all types and is exceptionally easy to use -- it's a great alternative to the limited choice and sometimes poor sound quality of DAB Read more

Samsung Q1 review

The Samsung Q1 is the world's first physical implementation of Microsoft's much-hyped Origami project -- the ultra-mobile PC, or UMPC. It's ideal for watching films, surfing the Internet or carrying out admin tasks, and its glossy black bezel and striking 7-inch screen give it a modern feel Read more

Compaq Presario SR1729 review

The sheer number of mid-range desktops available makes it difficult to make a buying decision, but it also means you can pick up bargains such as this Presario SR1729. It's by no means the sexiest of PCs, but it is a competent all-rounder that Compaq has blessed with a generous specification and modern components Read more

rockdirect Xtreme SL review

The rockdirect Xtreme SL is one of the first laptops to use two graphics cards. It sounds the death knell for the days when laptops were perceived as poor gaming devices, and is part of a new breed of laptop that uses a 19-inch screen. It might be rather dull to look at, but boy, can it shift polygons Read more

Desktop PCs for under £600

As newer, faster PC components arrive, so the prices of older, slower models fall. That's great news for budget PC shoppers who already own a monitor or another suitable display, as you can now get some excellent desktop base units for relatively little money Read more

Asus S6F review

It's got a beautiful 11-inch screen, Intel Core Duo processor and -- best of all -- leather panelling for the lid and wrist-rests. The S6F is undoubtedly the most stylish ultraportable laptop we've seen, and thanks to its performance, it's one of the best all-round, too. We just can't wait for the pink version... Read more

Advanced mice

The humble mouse is an oft-undervalued PC peripheral. Many of us are happy to chug along using the basic models that are bundled with our PCs, but there are a number of third-party alternatives that can increase productivity, gaming accuracy and comfort Read more

HP dx5150 Small Form Factor review

For those on a tight budget, the HP dx5150 stands out from the abundance of cheap, ugly desktops that litter the market thanks to its promise of contemporary styling, solid build quality and quiet, efficient operation. In addition, it's a decent performer, making it very hard to ignore Read more
