Gorgeous, expensive and exasperating in equal measure, and yet still desirable despite its myriad faults

A very likeable all-in-one – albeit limited in its usefulness beyond basic functions. Read our review of Shuttle's new all-in-one X50

HTC’s long-awaited Shift is finally here, but despite valiant efforts it fails to revitalise the UMPC template

There’s so much to like about this package that it might just be worth switching operating systems to get hold of it.

A splendid bit of design that will please the most commited enthusiast, and a godsend for artists on a budget.

In a world filled with gorgeous Sony, Apple and even Dell laptops, a sober, matte black machine aimed at consumers has to be truly special to turn heads. The IdeaPad Y430 is a well-built Centrino 2 machine that lacks nothing in the way of features, speed or value

This is one of the most complete office multifunction printers we've ever seen. but the MFC-885CW can’t overcome its price or quality issues.

The A330 is a competent, fully featured and easy to use DSLR, but a backward step in some respects.

A capable and beautifully designed smartphone, but weaker battery life means it can’t match the E71

New wizards make it easier to use, and the range of operations is impressive for such a reasonable price

A great combination of new features and the usual Nikon image and build quality make this a superb camera.

Powerful, well price and a worthy addition to the A-List. The PacStar Core i7 is a PC we wouldn't be unhappy to take home and spend the weekend gaming on

Acer’s Aspire one makes a splash. A great keyboard, a fine screen and a keen price make for a superb mini-laptop

Great for executives on the move thanks to size and decent battery life, but the missing optical drive disappoints

A good laptop for business, with superb design touches but some unfortunate omissions.

An expensive board, but a fascintating way of getting a powerful, quiet system, especially if you're prepared to tweak.

Great for executives on the move thanks to size and decent battery life, but the missing optical drive disappoints.

An incredibly light and practical notebook for frequent travellers, but not without its quirks.

Now a true all-in-one package thanks to file and folder backup, but it can’t match Acronis for value.

Great looks, superb build quality and a world beating software package. It would threaten the A list if it were just a little cheaper.
