Arbico Phenom 5550 QCS review The unlocked processor provides excellent performance, but the 19in monitor is small and the budget graphics card will struggle to play games.

Acer Aspire 5551 review The Acer Aspire 5551 is an attractive laptop that's comfortable to use, but it's not especially fast and the screen is average.

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15in review The ThinkPad Edge has good performance and battery life but a disappointing screen and smallish hard disk.

Sony Bravia KDL-46EX503 review The Sony KDL-46EX503 is a surprisingly affordable mid-range TV. There’s a generous feature set and good image quality

Vizati review Like many coloured-block games before it, Vizati provides a simple and engaging puzzle experience for casual gamers.

Mesh Dynamo 16-RG review The Mesh Dynamo is a powerful laptop, but there are better-value, better-designed alternatives available

Hamrick Software VueScan 8.6 review With the addition of new OCR capabilities to VueScan's already outstanding range of features, there are even more reasons to buy this top-notch scanning suite.

PC Nextday Zoostorm Advanced Home Gamer PC review The old components might just about be able to keep up, but the 19in monitor is unacceptably small at this price

Philips Digital Voice Tracer LFH0667 review At this price, we'd expect a more accurate transcription

Humyo Premium We're still fans of Humyo's free storage service, but paid-for services from other providers do a better job when it comes to online backup.

Acer Aspire X3900 review Decent performance and a superb monitor in a tiny package. It's a good choice if gaming and expansion aren't priorities.

PC Specialist Vortex i930 Xtreme review An incredibly powerful PC, with watercooling and an SSD. However, we’d swap out the graphics card for an ATI Radeon HD 5870.

Pro Softnet iDrive Pro review iDrive provides plenty of space, postal file submission and storage for up to 30 versions of files, but its single-computer licence and basic web interface are limitations.
