Incredibly powerful laptop system, with a few small issues that hold it back from true glory.

A personal movie theatre projector with astonishing quality, though we wished for audio outputs

A wireless security system with good roaming support, but it isn’t perfect

Raw power and gaming prowess plus our a-listed monitor: this is a fantastic system, but the price is a deterrent.

Sony’s Z-Series is an ultraportable to aspire to, even if there are a couple of areas where it could improve.

Small, funky and fast, the studio hybrid is the pick of the small PCs. You've read our first impressions, now see our full review of the Dell Studio Hybrid.

Intriguing styling makes this near-silent media-centre PC stand out, but it has its foibles

Sony’s new laptop sports a Blu-ray writer and one of Intel’s latest Penryn processors, but it’s overpriced.

A new way forward for ultraportables, combining an incredible low weight with unrivalled ergonomic excellence

Another big name brand PC gets a cutting-edge, all-format, high-def optical drive capable of playing Blu-ray and HD DVD.

Still one of the best examples of laptop design in the market, but there are compromises

A very fast, well-built high-end PC. But a few niggles and high price keep it off the A-List.

A decent machine with plenty of power, but it’s not earth shattering in terms of features and value.

A versatile single-socket rack server with a wide range of processor choices, plus a good warranty for the price.

An A3 colour printer with a good turn of speed, quality colour output and low running costs.

HP gets the best out of iSCSI with a smart backup appliance that’s easy to manage and good value for small businesses.

A decent multimedia notebook, but it’s not exciting enough for the price.

Quad-core makes it powerful and good value at the price. Noise and stability suffer though.

An adequate Media Centre PC, but Asus’ competitor blows it out of the water.

The pick of the two 1kg units, but still behind the Dell.
