Reviews

FXhome Hitfilm Standard review Sophisticated special effects and an elegant, responsive interface – complex, time-consuming but highly rewarding

Magix Music Maker MX Some strong music-making features but the interface lets it down badly

AMD A6-3500 review Fine in 3D games, but the A6-3500 has distinctly budget 2D performance

Arcsoft Perfect365 review Fundamentally awful, but if you're determined to make your photos resemble the pages of OK Magazine, this is the tool to do it with

Mr Site Storefront review A promising idea, but Storefront's setup is just too confusing for novice users

Oloneo HDRengine review Attractive HDR processing with an elegant, breathtakingly fast interface

Kobo Vox review It's not really an eReader, but a cheap Android tablet that suffers from a slow processor and unresponsive touchscreen

Griffin Beacon review An interesting product that falls short due to problems with its learning capability

Boots Photo Printing (In Store) review It's convenient, but your local branch of Boots can't be relied upon for the best in high-street photo printing

MyPix review MyPix excelled in high-contrast and skin-tone reproduction, and its prints are competitively priced, but some landscape shots were far too bright

Pixum review Pixum provides more flexibility than most when it comes to uploading your photos, but we were disappointed by its reproduction of pale tones

Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D review The S27A850D's adjustable stand and 2,560x1,440 resolution are all good, but it's the new PLS panel, with its amazing contrast and colours

M-Audio Keystation Mini 32 review This tiny, low-cost MIDI keyboard is a great idea but suffers from spongy keys and a poor implementation of velocity sensitivity
