MSI’s Wind Top AE1900 takes on the touchscreen nettop competition, but singularly fails to excite.

Jam-packed with features, but it struggles to compete with the best.

Sleek and professional, the Hp Mini 5101 is another attractively pitched netbook that can't shake its very poor battery life. When will manufactuers learn that battery life is all-important to netbook success?

Neither cheap nor beautiful, MSI’s Atom powered nettop is sadly second among equals.

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

Plenty of storage, but average performance and limited features

D-Link offers a well-built desktop NAS appliance that looks good value, but for business users it’s short of features

Durable and laden with features, but let down by average performance and poor battery life

A great multimedia phone with surprising business features, but it feels clunky

A good effort by Palm, but it’s a long way behind the best both ergonomically and functionally

An expensive route, but the Netgear Prosafe SRXN3205 provides the reassurance of of an SSL VPN along with a long warranty.

The DGFV338 is a combination ADSL modem/router packaged in Netgear’s traditional metal case and powered by a particularly large and heavy mains adaptor.

A shift of focus to advanced CSS and JavaScript handling, but Dreamweaver is beginning to look old-fashioned

Huge storage for the money, but quality can’t match the more expensive models in this group

Excellent touches promise so much, including a great screen and browser, but in use it’s unbearably slow

Fine for schools, but its protective surface and price limit its appeal

It gets the second-most important aspect of its performance – wireless music – spot on. The most important aspect is a little less successful

Packed with features, but it’s expensive and awkward to use

Full marks for effort but the i6 is trying to do too much, without doing anything very well

The Mju has hidden depths with aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes, but alas no fully manual mode
