Alienware Area 51m 7700 review

There's something kooky about Alienware. It's the kid at school who threw balled-up paper around during maths lessons, but then quietly snuck off to read up on relativity at lunch time. The Alienware brand says 'late-90s raver', but the Alienware components and price tag say 'I'm deadly serious about my PC' Read more

Dell Dimension 5100 review

While Dell has taken its case design in a new, more consumer-friendly, white direction, its budget PC's innards are as dependable and adequate as ever. As long as you don't expect Battlefield 2 to run smoothly on it, this is a prime piece of good-value computing Read more

Samsung YP-T8 review

The 1GB, flash-based Samsung YP-T8 can't boast the small dimensions of the iPod Shuffle, but then the Shuffle doesn't reveal what it's playing. In contrast, the YP-T8 features a 41mm colour screen, and -- impressively for such a small device -- will even play video Read more

Denon DN-S3500 review

It's not Christmas, but it might as well be for DJs -- this CD-playing deck system authentically mimicks the qualities of analogue, vinyl-playing decks. The days of lugging tonnes of vinyl to a gig are over. Blindfold a DJ and bring him in, we don't think he'll be able to tell the difference Read more

Macpower Mvisto review

We've all taken our iPods to parties to share our music, but what about taking your movies around instead? The Mvisto can store 15 DVDs or 80 DivX movies in a box that's smaller than just one DVD case Read more

Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI review

She's ported and relieved, and she's stroked and bored -- she'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored. A 60s muscle car of a PC, the Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI will knock your bobby socks off. It's horribly expensive, but if you need a reliable, plug-and-play super-gaming platform, accept no substitute Read more

Sony Vaio VGC-V2M review

The VAIO VGC-V2M's jet-black chassis wouldn't seem out of place on Darth Vader's desk. If arch-villain is the look you're going for this season, this is definitely the most evil-chic looking computer we've ever reviewed Read more

rockdirect Xtreme Ti review

While some may be put off by the Xtreme Ti's overwhelming weight and extortionate price, bulky laptops like this are the only option if you need cutting-edge gaming performance in a luggable device. The design isn't as extreme as the Alienware's Area 51m, but that might be an advantage if you want it for tasks other than eye-bleedingly fast gaming Read more

Sonos Digital Music System review

The Sonos Digital Music System streams music and Internet radio from your home computers to any number of wireless amplifiers and speakers. Set-up time is almost non-existent and the audio quality is nothing short of remarkable -- this is a very, very slick way to beam music around your home Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MC200 review

We've seen small camcorders before, but the MC200 ushers in a whole new generation of handheld camcorders that you can almost enclose in your palm. These suckers are small, really small. If you've been reluctant to take a camcorder on holiday because of the size of the things, you might be swayed by the MC200 -- it's the same size as a rolled-up pair of socks Read more
