MSI GE700 review Solid performance and an excellent screen, but the GE700 suffers from poor battery life and a non-standard keyboard.

Lenovo IdeaCentre B500 review Works as a TV, gaming PC, multimedia centre and standard desktop; it's compact and effective but painfully expensive for its specification

Fujitsu Lifebook A530 review Good performance and decent build quality, but the screen isn't the best, and battery life is poor.

HTC Desire HD review A responsive, big screen and all the features you could ever want, but HTC's Sense software is becoming bloated

Asus Lamborghini VX6 review The VX6 is fast, well-built and a joy to use, but regular laptops have much better performance and cost only slightly more.

Medion Akoya X7371 D review The X7371 has raw processor power and a low price, but little else

Western Digital My Book Live review Basic but well thought-out and with plenty of storage, the MyBook Live is an ideal NAS for first-time users.

Motorola Defy review A rugged phone with a great screen and amazing battery life. The Defy has its niggles and WiFi bugs but is excellent value with a contract.

Samsung R540 review A smart and well-built laptop, the R540 is powerful enough but lacks a dedicated graphics processor

HP Pavilion dv6-3065ea review The dv6 is beautifully designed, has reasonable 3D performance and generous features – but there's a catch

Medion Akoya P7615 review A decent desktop replacement let down by some minor usability issues and an uninspiring design.

Advent Discovery MT1804 review This compact all-in-one may not have amazing performance, but could prove useful in a variety of situations and can also be battery powered.

Intel Core i7-2600K review An incredibly powerful processor, that’s also power-efficient and easy to overclock. However, most should go with the cheaper i5-2500K.
