A decent LCD in its own right, but the speakers are poor and the dock isn’t much more than an expensive gimmick.

Quality, speed and a huge array of features go some way to justifying the price

A dreadful scanner and an overall lack of features make the low price a moot point

A slight speed boost and a new curvaceous shape keep Canon on top of the inkjet pile.

Plenty of features, but printing and scanning results proved average at best

An excellent all-in-one, particularly when it comes to photo quality, but it’s possible to get more features elsewhere.

Capable of reproducing good photos, but it’s slow, a bit expensive to run and has a poor scanner.

The Lexmark P6250 is a not just a photo printer as such, it's also an all in one multifunction device: printer/scanner/copier and media reader. You might be nodding to yourself with the obviousness of an all in one printer winning out over tiny single use photo printers in this roundup, but to be honest the distinction is not just made because of the broad functionality and applicability of the Lexmark P6250.

The absolute epitome of 'feature-packed', the number of inclusions on this unit floored us. Its whopping 162 point feature score is over one-and-a-half times the average point score and comes on the back of its big feature line up.

The tiny Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart 1200 is a sleek, portable, flatbed scanner tailor-made for scanning small items with minimal hassle. Weighing in at a tiny 680g with a scan bed of only 10 x 15cm it's perfect for scanning photos. Features include 1,200 x 1,200dpi optical resolution, a USB 2.0 port, CompactFlash card and shared MMC/SD slots. Power is by the USB 2.0 port, or by four AA batteries when unplugged

The Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock 6000 is a tiny photo printer-cum-camera dock for Kodak EasyShare CX/DX 6000 and LS600-series cameras. Although it's designed to print 4 x 6in borderless prints, the dock is capable of a lot more. The abundance of functions this dock can perform boggles the mind. Ranging from slide show streaming, three-hour camera Li-Ion battery charging, multiple print runs and PC file-synching, this printer does it all.

Underneath the behemoths rough exterior is a friendlier beast. Along the front of the machine is a series of large buttons and dials, with each function clearly labelled.

Webcams have been around for some time and they are now emerging as a truly accessible and useful device.

The scanner is the only minor weakness in an otherwise near perfect home all-in-one

The quality of this diminutive cutie is almost as good as the high-end models, but the price means a compromise on both speed and features.

TI's current workstation-class 3D graphics accelerators - dubbed X1 - are the company's latest effort to keep a hand in the high-end 3D graphics market. Consumer-level 3D hardware is now massively powerful, of course, but for all-out 3D performance and rock-solid driver integration you need a card dedicated to the purpose, and ATI claims the X1-128 is it.

A Media Center PC and 32in LCD TV all-in-one.

Feel the power of 256 computers connected to your fingers.

A great scanner, but the poor printer and lack of networking limit its appeal.

Vivid colours and some interesting extras make this the perfect entertainment-focused LCD
