Magix Rescue Your Videotapes 2.0 review With simple to use software and capture hardware this bundle is a straightforward way to preserve old video recordings.

Advent Centurion CQ9204 review Unless you're absolutely smitten with the look of Advent's Centurion, there are far better value PCs available.

Mesh Edge17 Inspire CS review Poor build quality and a stingy helping of RAM undermine the Edge17's advantage in having a slightly larger screen, and the screen itself is patchy and dark.

Asus MS236H 23in widescreen monitor review A great-looking 23in display, but it's let down by annoying touch-sensitive controls and distinctly average image quality.

Lucidity review Lucidity is an inexpensive diversion that failed to really captivate us, despite its distinctive style and gameplay.

Samsung R620 review Along with Samsung's great design and build quality, the R620 includes a Blu-ray drive – that's a great bargain

TuneUp Utilities 2010 review Very easy to use and takes the pain out of system maintenance.

KWorld PC160-2T dual Freeview tuner review This budget dual Freeview tuner may not have great software, but that won’t bother Vista and Windows 7 users.

HP Pavillion dv7-3020ea review A classy, powerful laptop with a Blu-ray player and a large screen, it's let down by the poor backlight which results in dull colours.

Acer Aspire One 532h review The Acer Aspire One 532h is a decent netbook in isolation and has a pretty good screen, but it's too expensive and is outperformed by cheaper alternatives.

Asrock Ion 330HT-BD review This compact nettop looks smart, but you'll need to supply your own operating system and Blu-ray playback software.

Asus Eee PC 1005PE review The 1005PE's new Atom N450 processor is certainly a clever bit of engineering, but gives no real benefit here compared to the previous generation of processors.

Toshiba Satellite L500-19Z review The L500's screen is impressive and the numeric keypad's large keys would suit number-crunchers, but there are better value alternatives.
