Creative's best efforts in desktop audio slide their way into the side of a laptop.

The 20-30GB Nomad Jukebox Zen NX is Creative's latest hard disk-based MP3/WMA player; an evolution of predecessor, the Zen. The model we reviewed was a 20GB unit, which equates to around 667 hours of 64Kbps WMA encoding, or 333 hours of 128Kbps MP3 encoding.

Under the guidance of Jonathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, Creative gives mice a minor tune-up.

As far as many people are concerned there's only one MP3 player. Love it or hate it, the iPod has entered the public consciousness and become an icon. So it's no surprise that everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon.

This Christmas season, the sweet spot in digital cameras, and the place where the most competition is taking place, is in the 3 megapixel arena. And it's with this in mind that Creative has launched its first 3.2 megapixel camera - and at the very competitive price of only $399.

The Creative CD-MP3 M100 is an Mp3-CD and CD-player that supports MP3 and WMA formats, audio CDs, and CD-R and CD-RW discs.

The Nomad Jukebox Zen is Creative-s go at aping the Apple iPod (November 2002, page 40), an MP3 player built around a notebook hard drive, and has done a remarkable job of it.

Think of sound cards and chances are you're probably thinking of Creative. Thanks to its phenomenally successful Sound Blaster line of cards, Creative is easily the leader of consumer PC audio. The Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum Ex is the latest in this range, and is by far the most feature rich. The question is do you need most of these features?

Creative has enjoyed a long reign as the driving force in consumer-grade PC audio for the better part of a decade.

The Vision M is something of an iPod imitator, but it doesn’t quite match its inspiration

Better sound for your laptop from Creative, plus the little white lies about its heritage exposed.

A decent software bundle, but has a low resolution and no integrated microphone.

Anyone who has heard of the idea of noise-cancelling headphones would agree the idea sounds terrific.

When we last looked at the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (the Platinum Ex, June 2003) we were highly impressed by the soundcard and its many functions, but felt that there was perhaps too much on offer, leaving you with many unwanted, unused and unwarranted inclusions.
