RIM BlackBerry Torch 9860 A good, mould-breaking BlackBerry that's great for business and pleasure

LG Optimus 4X HD It’s strange to give a range-topping handset a Budget Buy award, but the powerful Optimus 4X HD is a real bargain on contract

Xara Photo & Graphic Designer MX 2013 review Excellent value and a fantastic photo-editing, design and DTP tool

Samsung Galaxy S Advance Has a large screen, but the S Advance proved slightly sluggish in use

LG Optimus L7 Reflective screen and sluggish performance detract from what is otherwise a good phone

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 review Some clever touches and we like the stylus, but it's an expensive tablet and the screen is low resolution compared to the competition

Palicomp Alpha Phase review Perfect for upgraders or anyone who just wants a desktop with a serious CPU, this system’s perfect if you want power on a budget

Prototype 2 review Monstrous fun, if a little hollow for veterans of the original

Counter Strike: Global Offensive review Evolution rather than revolution, but one that’s been a long time coming

Ginger 6 G6 Ultra i70 review This PC lacks an SSD for fast booting, but we were particularly impressed by its 3D gaming performance

Vodafone Smart II Not bad for £70, but it's slow and isn't good for viewing media

Palicomp Alpha Samurai review A fast overclock provides impressive performance, but you can get a similar system with a better graphics card for the same price

Sony Xperia P A fantastic screen, high-resolution and high-class feel make this a great smartphone for media fans
