Sony's first CMOS based consumer HD camera brings control and fidelity to images in a package that's hard to beat.

The TH-46PZ81 shouldn’t be applauded only because of its features – it delivers a great plasma TV picture.

With its limited editing features, it would be hard to see anyone choosing PowerDirector 5 over the Adobe, Pinnacle or Ulead competition.

HD camcorders enter the mainstream once and for all. With image quality like this, there’s little reason to spend more.

With CrossFire performance more erratic than SLI, and NVIDIA outgunning ATI with its Shader Model 3 cards, it's hard to recommend this board.

Canon’s first hard disk-based AVCHD camcorder gets it mostly right, with a good level of features and the best image quality we’ve yet seen from the format.

A stunning way to enjoy HD DVD, but the wonderful design and features come at a price

There’s only so many times I can herald the coming switch from analog TV broadcasts to digital, so I’ll just dig straight into this impressive digital television card.

A hint of things to come, but the first HD DVD and Blu-ray combo drive is very expensive.

The wide range of features and a degree of HD-readiness are welcome, but the DLP rainbow effect can spoil things.

The future of storage is expensive, for now. That aside, how do Blu Ray drives compare to DVD drives?

A nice small footprint, which is an advantage in small office spaces, is the order of the day with HP’s offering to the mono marketplace. The LaserJet 1300 produced high quality text, with above average readability even on a grey background and at small point sizes. The embedded image on the test page was slightly over exposed, but still had good definition and solid well-formed black text, helping it to score highest overall in neutral text readability. Our monochrome test page turned up some minor blemishing and driver banding, but a reasonably smooth gradient helped the printer finish in first place overall here too.

PC-cillin 2000 is extremely easy to set up out of the box, particularly since there are few setup screens to wade through during installation. PC-cillin was one of the few packages that scanned memory and critical files before installing, thus ensuring that it did not further spread viruses on an infected system.

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

A rough, tough laptop with serious attitude, but its keyboard proves an Achilles heel.

A big brash, powerful pc with loads of features and a giant screen. It’s a good thing, because the orange case distracts from the DDR5’s true purpose: performance.

This is a fine projector: easy to set-up, quiet enough in operation, and capable of superb performance for its price. It’s a must-see.
