Brief reviews of new products, plus updates on items we've already featured.

Very fast, but the top-end components offer poor value in the face of competition.

A final price will decide the fate of this chipset. It needs to be well under $200 to compete.

A good-value and very powerful system that will appeal to those seeking ultimate performance.

Our poor receptionist didn’t quite know what to do when Altech’s monolithic machine turned up. She had a point.

A very well-built ultraportable that’s great value, but a bit too small.

The best convertible tablet we’ve seen great performance and great design at a decent price.

A very fast computer with decent features at a great price, whether for gaming or an all-round powerhouse

Expensive, but the features are packed in. Just note the lack of Wi-Fi and some strong iPaq competition.

Fantastic hardware. The GPS software is mediocre, but you can buy your own.

One of the better Dual TV tuner cards.

A Media Center PC and 32in LCD TV all-in-one.

A fantastic Media Center PC at an extraordinary price.

Look what four grand can buy you.

The two-and-a-half thousand dollar price point is a popular one for PC systems.

A great ultraportable, but stiff competition just keeps it from the A-List.

Looks and feels good, but performance is more super Aguri than Scuderia.

Incredible design and amazing battery life makes the G118 a tempting mobile option.

Dual-core and Windows Vista make it into our A-List’s Value PC category.

For the last few years Creative has played catchup to the likes of iRiver, Rio and Apple.
