A geotagging GPS that tries to do everything, but overly complicates what should be a simple task of getting from A – Z in a couple of clicks.

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.

We like the ambition of producing a low-cost BlackBerry, but until it drops in price there’s too much competition.

We road tested the futuristic Azentek SmartMirror and got the feeling that it could be the next big GPS must-have or the next big safety hazard.

An interesting concept, but there are far more capable devices around.

A standard-issue corporate laptop with suspect ergonomics.

Fantastic battery life and a transflective screen aren’t enough to justify a price this high for the everyday business user.

Two of the oldest standards in the book join forces to try and spell the end of long, expensive VGA cable extensions.

Packed with features, but the keyboard is terrible and the touch-enabled OS confusing.

A decent notebook but too expensive for the features on offer.

An attractive design, but several core flaws keep the Mini 10 far from the top of the netbook pile.

The ASUS is one tough little cookie. Its cover and palmrest are encased in brushed aluminium lending the unit a reassuring sense of rigidity and roadworthiness.

The unit also comes with a built in TV-tuner, and also sports a TV-antenna output.

MSI’s Wind Top AE1900 takes on the touchscreen nettop competition, but singularly fails to excite.

The A700 has excellent image quality, but is let down by design quirks and the high price.

D-Link offers a well-built desktop NAS appliance that looks good value, but for business users it’s short of features

Without support for differential backups and with a light feature set, Norton Ghost feels cheap, nasty and dated.

When it comes to accessories, the Aspire has one of the best bundles supplied for this roundup: including an MCE remote and a radio/TV antenna! It also has a decent specification list: 3Ghz Pentium 4; 160GB HDD; and 512MB RAM. The only sticking point here, amongst all this multimedia goodness, is the inclusion of the Mobility X300 video card. It's like building a Ferrari and installing a two-stroke motor. It doesn't make much sense.
