Reviews

Intuit QuickBooks Pro 2008 review QuickBooks Pro is elegant and streamlined, but is let down by its poor banking support.

Microsoft Accounting Express 2009 review Enough features for a sole trader, but larger companies should look elsewhere.

Accountz Personal review Great value, easy to get to grips with and straightforward to use, this is ideal for home finances.

Ability Accounts review If you feel yourself lacking either time and patience, then you should look elsewhere.

Moneydance review A decent home accounts package, but GNUCash is free and has the same range of features.

GnuCash review Free, easy to use and lots of good features, making it better than some of its commercial rivals.

HP EliteBook 6930p review HP's EliteBook has good battery life, a comfortable keyboard and a long warranty, but it's expensive and has a tiny hard disk.

Toshiba Tecra M10-10i review The Tecra is a well-designed laptop for business users; for everyone else, better value laptops are available.

Asus U50VG review Not a terrible laptop when viewed on its own, but with no Blu-ray drive or decent gaming performance, the U50VG looks overpriced here.

Sony Vaio FW41E/H review Sony's generously equipped Vaio FW41E/H is a great laptop with something for everyone, including Blu-ray playback and a large hard disk.

Acer Aspire 8930G-864G32Bn review A great entertainment laptop with a full HD screen and reasonable gaming performance, but it's outshone by Sony's Vaio FW41E/H.

Sony Vaio NW11S/S review A funky design and great 3D performance make this a decent laptop, but it's let down by a slightly washed-out display and a fairly high price.

Packard Bell EasyNote TR87 review A smart, well-made laptop, with a generous software bundle and useful features. Below average battery life is its only weakness.
