Asus's UBoom looks attractive, but its poor sound quality means it's not good value.
It's packed full of features, but at this price it's probably suitable only for serious enthusiasts who'll match it with a fast Core i7 chip.
A great mix of decent performance, sturdy build quality and good usability makes this laptop an excellent choice.
Small, quiet and powerful enough for HD movies and Windows 7, with fast wireless networking.
A huge screen and Blu-ray drive are ideal for HD films, but average 3D performance doesn't justify the price.
The smart K70IO is great value, with a large, bright screen and a reasonably powerful graphics chipset.
A touchscreen and small size and weight make the T91 an interesting netbook, but average battery life and a cramped keyboard let it down.
This Core i7 board has plenty of features including a Creative X-Fi sound processor, but it's expensive.
A great AM3 motherboard for those who want to build a high-end AMD PC. It's also a great performer, but the price puts it out of reach for some.
An ideal choice if you want to build a media centre PC, thanks to HD video decoding and a remote control.
