Dreaming of a super-skinny touchscreen compact for Christmas? For around $400, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77 has finally convinced us touchscreen cameras are a good thing.

It may be pricey, but Sony's Walkman is a fine MP3 player and a good alternative to everything Apple

Movie and photo transfer capability, MP3 playback, bearable speakers… this is the best portable gaming machine ever

No sane gamer is going to head out and buy this as their new console, but we'd advise 360 and Wii owners not to forget about Dre - there's some truly superb games still coming out for PS

A complete bargain at this price. The DSC-W35 boasts superb quality and a great range of features.

Taking great photos in most situations, the DSC-W50 is a bargain at this price.

There's no denying the power of the PlayStation 2 gaming console. Once again it's going to be one of the must-have Christmas items for the home this year.

Sony never lets you forget that it creates Personal Entertainment Organisers; Personal Data Assistants simply aren't trendy enough. But if you ignore the marketing, it rapidly becomes clear that the TJ35 is going head-to-head with the supposedly business-oriented Palm Tungsten E (January 2004, cover CD).

Sony has a reputation in the PC Authority Labs for providing both quality and reliable products. The DSC-P32 is no exception.

Bundled headphones may not be up to your exacting standards and certainly none cater for listening on planes or trains, so why not consider upgrading to noise-cancelling headphones?

When it comes to CD-RW drives, both the Sony models in the Labs this month represent top quality and performance.
