The second contender in our Bluetooth lineup is more A2DP demonstration than product you'd use.

A welcome update to the Sound Blaster that can deliver perceptibly better audio than onboard chips, but it goes beyond most people’s needs for PC audio.

Whether for work or play, a nice keyboard in gunmetal grey.

Not all webcams will work in Vista, so we examined three Vista-ready models to find the best.

They may be extremely comfortable, but there are quite a few flaws in Creative’s Fatality branded gaming headphones.

Getting your PC to meaningfully accept voice commands or dictation has been a benchmark for futuristic computing since time immemorial. Dragon NaturallySpeaking (DNS for short) has been a leader in the field for some time now, and is rapidly becoming devoid of competition.

It’s what the professional audio market has to offer podcasters and budding musicians -- but quality comes at a cost.

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.

Panasonic claims this to be the world's smallest palm-type DV camera, and who am I to argue?

Powered by a 1.6GHz mobile Pentium processor, featuring dual-band 802.11a/g wireless capability and sporting a 15.4in wide-screen display, the Dell D800 represents the best of the Latitude series of notebooks.

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

The Twinhead Efio is a mixed beast. It has some very good features, such as an all-magnesium casing and ATI Mobility 9700, but it also has some middling features, like a relatively slow 1.8GHz Intel processor and 4:3 screen. The unit is well made and well set out however.

Impressive and free antivirus and antispyware package

Stunning build quality and design, but pricey and bigger than most desks can accommodate.

The 207MW may be bandwidth hungry, but image quality and features are superb.

Good value, but it needs to decide whether it’s a business or consumer notebook.

Core 2 Duo laptops are on the way to the top.
