Blu-ray takes another tentative step towards the mass market, but is now the time to buy?

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

A veritable Swiss Army Knife of a NAS drive, the QNAP TS-119 Turbo NAS has every feature under the sun

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

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

A small, classy padlock-style portable drive that's the same size as a Zippo.

The FF1 is well featured and comes with some useful accessories. Picture quality isn’t perfect, but it still has a range of practical uses.

Attractively small and aggressively priced, the Ultra Slim is an interesting proposition for businesses

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

Small but perfectly formed, the D420 has hours of battery life and loads of features and great ergonomics.

Superb build quality and performance make this a worthwhile upgrade for serious amateurs.

Not very competitive on price, but there’s plenty of scope for performance

A useful little NAS box with plenty of features and a compelling price.

Both of these systems offer immense flexibility and decent value for money, although the Intel version wins out.

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.

A good first stab at the semi-ruggedised laptop market. It isn’t up to the tough standards of others, though.

A remarkably tough machine that will endure almost anything thrown at it, although this comes at a price.
